Chapter 372 Date Mitchel's car and Raegan's left one after another.
On the other hand, the black car remained to where it was parked.
Inside this car, the bodyguard in black turned to the back seat and asked, "Sir, do you want to follow them?" The mysterious man in the back seat rested his slender fingers against his chin. He was pale as a ghost. A hideous scar on the corner of his mouth extended upwards as if it pierced through his entire face. Even the shape of the scar was terrifying.
He looked like a clown doll whose face was torn by something and sewn back together.
It took a while before the man answered, "No need." His voice was hoarse and dry. Obviously, his vocal § cords were severely damaged.
"Meeting-up should be around the corner, anyway." The way he said this, it was more like he was talking to himself. His eyes were deep, and the corners of his mouth curved into a terrifying smile.
Then, he instructed, "Just go back." The black car immediately started and drove away in the opposite direction.
Soon, Mitchel's cars pulled up at the Foster family's villa.
Mitchel still wrapped his arm around Raegan's waist, not wanting to let go.
Although he sat quietly in the car, he
felt endless happiness having Raegan by his side "Okay, I'm going back now," _Raegan announced, breaking the silence. She had been leaning against Mitchel's shoulder all this time. It felt so comfortable that she fell asleep for a while. She was way too unguarded around him.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhen Mitchel heard this, his arm around her waist tightened. He held her closer and whispered, "You said nine o'clock. We still have five minutes." Raegan was rendered speechless. He was really counting every minute with her.
Mitchel stared straight at Raegan unblinkingly. His eyes were intense. It was as if he couldn't get enough of
looking at her.
Raegan's earlobes suddenly turned hot, and her heart began to beat faster.
She couldn't help asking, "Can you stop staring at me?" "I like you..." Mitchel reached out, held her pinkish face with his long and slender fingers, and traced the contours of her face.
Despite having heard his confession multiple times, Raegan would still blush at this. Her skin felt a bit itchy from his tickling. She gently pushed his hand away and said, "Hands off." As Raegan pulled back, Mitchel's fingers accidentally brushed against her lips. He felt their softness and sweetness, which were very tempting.
His eyes darkened at once. He could no longer restrain himself, so he lowered
his head slightly and pressed his lips against hers He deliberately didn't deepen the kiss.
He only pressed his lips against hers gently. It was as if she was a precious treasure. His movements were intimate and filled with tenderness and love.
"Hmm..." Raegan subconsciously moaned. Her face was as red as cherries. But before she could totally lose her last bit of sanity, she tried pushing him away.
However, Mitchel suddenly lowered his head and nuzzled against her neck, whispering, "Raegan, I can't live without you." Raegan's heart trembled, and she was at a loss for words. While she was grappling with a reply, he confessed,
"Every time you ignore me, I don't feel like sleeping or eating. I was like a walking dead. So, please, don't leave me." Mitchel's eyes were a little downcast, and his words were filled with worry.
The thought that he couldn't win Raegan's heart despite his efforts dreaded him deeply.
Raegan was too shocked to react. At first, she thought she had heard it wrong. But it couldn't be.
Mitchel always exuded superiority and arrogance. But this time, there was a hint of subservience and helplessness in his eyes. Raegan's heart skipped a beat. It seemed he really liked her.
Despite the eagerness Raegan saw in his eyes, she still couldn't bring herself to agree to his proposal. Aside from her
family members, she considered other people just passers by in her life. She didn't feel like overpromising. After all, people came and went. So, even if she knew he would be disappointed, she could not promise him anything, Raegan met Mitchel's expectant gaze, her lips trembling. She hesitated before she finally said, "I'm going home now." A trace of bitterness crept across Mitchel's face. His eyes darkened but enigmatic. He knew it wasn't easy to move her. But still, he couldn't help feeling bitter at her words. He smiled wryly and nodded. "Alright. I'll walk you home." Raegan wanted to say he didn't need to walk her home because it wasn't too far. Besides, he hadn't fully recovered yet.
But before she could open her mouth, Mitchel had already gotten out of the car and walked around to open the door for her Raegan got out of the car. When she raised her head, she saw Erick leaning against the doorframe with his arms crossed.
Raegan's expression suddenly changed. She lowered her head and said, "No need to walk me home. My brother is here. You should go back to the car." After saying this, she pushed him into the car and ran away without looking back.
Mitchel's handsome face immediately darkened. He couldn't understand why she didn't want Erick to see her with him.
Erick watched Raegan trotting toward him. His cold expression finally softened slightly.
Raegan covered her chest and gasped slightly. "Erick, I thought you had gone to bed." Erick didn't answer. Instead, he raised his hand, checked the time on his wristwatch, and opened his thin lips slightly. "It's 8: 59. You're just in time." Raegan was rendered speechless. So, Erick was only here to ensure she was home on time. If he was this worried about her, why did he agree to Mitchel making advances toward her? Raegan couldn't help asking, "Erick, what did you and Mitchel talk about?" Erick lowered his eyes. "It's none of your business. Just go inside and grab some rest."
Raegan looked at Erick speechlessly.
Why was it none of her business? Wasn't she the topic of their conversation? ) Raegan stomped her feet in a huff. "If you don't tell me, I'll just date him." "Aren't we already dating?" A magnetic male voice suddenly sounded from behind.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHaving assumed the speaker was Erick, Raegan was about to retort but stopped when she recognized the owner of the voice suddenly. She turned her head and found Mitchel standing behind them.
Raegan's face turned crimson. She said through clenched teeth, "No more nonsense from you!" After saying this, she quickly went inside the house.
Under Mitchel's intense gaze, Raegan almost stumbled. Her movements became awkward.
Mitchel fixed his gaze on Raegan's back, watching her until she disappeared from his sight.
Having noticed Mitchel's eyes glued on Raegan, Erick warned, "If you dare to mistreat my sister, don't blame me for destroying you." with Mitchel's will in Erick's possession, Erick could easily ruin Mitchel's life and business on a whim.
With a lot on his plate lately, Erick couldn't spare any more time to safeguard Raegan and Janey personally, which was part of the reason he finally conceded, allowing Mitchel to make advances toward Raegan.
Plus, Mitchel was undoubtedly
influential in Ardlens. Having Mitchel by Raegan's side, Erick was more at ease than entrusting Raegan to other's care.
"Erick, rest assured. I will protect Raegan and Janey with my life," Mitchel promised solemnly.
Erick was pleased with the firmness in Mitchel's eyes, knowing Mitchel meant his words.
Erick had investigated Raegan and Mitchel's shared past, knowing most of the misunderstanding was Lauren's doing. Despite Mitchel's once being lenient toward Lauren out of the supposedly life-saving favor, he later realized his mistake and amended: his wrongs by punishing Lauren.
Erick found Mitchel's actions of sending Lauren to a mental hospital
and forcing the doctored drink down her throat satisfactory However, this didn't mean Erick had | forgiven what pain and suffering Mitchel had unwittingly put Raegan through.
Had it not been for Mitchel being Janey's biological father, Erick would not have given Mitchel any chance to remedy at all. Thus, Erick had given Mitchel's character and feelings for Raegan a long-term test. He wouldn't be at ease until he was sure no harm would come Raegan's way.
with things to attend to, Erick had to leave. Still concerned, he asked Mitchel, "Is Lauren really dead?"
