Chapter 13
Unrelenting Flirt “Yes, I did." Regret filled Raegan's heart.
She bit her tongue. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Damn it! When Raegan saw the amused look on Mitchel's face, she braced herself up to be humiliated big time.
Mitchel and she were about to get divorced.
Lauren was all that Mitchel cared about, so there was no way Mitchel wouldn't deny her now.
“See? Mitchel, she has admitted..." Suddenly, Tessa stopped speaking.
Her eyes widened when she saw Mitchel take off his suit jacket and put it on Raegan's shoulders.
Raegan was just as shocked as Tessa was.
Instead of frowning at her as she expected, Mitchel was smiling contentedly.
Tessa rubbed her eyes.
This has got to be an illusion! Raegan was tall for a woman.
Nonetheless, Mitchel’s jacket was way too big for her.
She was soaked by the juice which made her figure visible under the clothes.
When Mitchel found that his eyes were wandering, he looked away and then fastened the button of the jacket for her.
His fingers were slender and beautiful, and his movement was skilled and ambiguous.
Raegan's ears flushed and her heart was beating like a large drum.
“Mitchel!” An inappropriate scream broke the silence.
With her eyes bulging from the sockets, Tessa yelled, "This whore is trying to seduce you! Don't fall for it!" Hearing that, Mitchel turned around and ordered the security guards, "Throw her out." Tessa couldn't believe her ears.
Throw who out? Her? Mitchel wanted to throw her out? “Mitchel, there must be something wrong, right?” Tessa was still in disbelief.
She thought Mitchel meant to drive Raegan out, not her.
The two security guards held a grudge against Tessa, so this order came at the perfect time.
They both stood on each side.
"Ms.
Lloyd, this way, please!" "Get your filthy hands off me!" Tessa shook off their hands and looked at Mitchel in disbelief.
“Mitchel, how could you do this for me? You are throwing me out because of this bitch?” Her shout only made Mitchel angrier.
His eyes were shooting lasers.
Mitchel snapped at the security guards, “What are you waiting for?" Hearing this, they grabbed Tessa by her arms and dragged her out.
Tessa kicked and screamed hysterically, but no matter what she did, she couldn't break free.
“Stop right there!" Suddenly, a rebuke came from upstairs.
Everyone looked up and saw Kenia Lloyd, Tessa’s mother.
Kenia rushed downstairs and kicked one of the guards.
"Are you blind? How dare you treat my daughter like this!" As soon as Tessa saw her mother, Tessa cried even harder, "Mommy, it's all that bitch's fault!" Kenia turned to look at Raegan.
She had heard of how this young woman saved Kyler's life once and had stuck around him since then.
Kyler came downstairs shortly after.
When he saw the mess, he hit his walking stick on the marble floor.
The second Kenia noticed his presence, she put on a pitiful mask and complained, "Kyler, please intervene on our behalf.
This outsider came in here and treated my daughter badly.
You must punish her for Tessa's sake!" After saying that, Kenia pinched Tessa.
Tessa took the hint immediately.
She wailed so loud that she almost went out of breath.
"Save your tears!" Mitchel’s face was menacing, which shut Tessa up real quick.
The silence that dropped now was deafening.
When Kenia realized that this wasn't going her way, she turned to Mitchel.
"Mitchel, Tessa is your cousin.
How could you help an outsider to bully her?” “What happened?" Kyler's gruff voice was heard at this time.
Mitchel said briefly, "Tessa splashed juice on Raegan." It wasn't until then that Kyler noticed Raegan’'s disheveled look.
A yellow liquid was dripping from her hair.
His face instantly darkened.
Oblivious to the change in Kyler’s expression, Kenia continued to defend Tessa.
“Serves her right! She must have done something to offend Tessa!" "That's right! This bitch crossed the line!" Tessa echoed.
Mitchel shot Tessa a searing glare.
Seeing this, she ran to hide behind her mother.
Before Mitchel could lose his cool, Kyler pointed his walking stick at Kenia and Tessa and bellowed, "You! And you, get out of here, right now!” Kyler was breathing fire.
His hand trembled as he frowned at them.
Their presence here disgusted him.
How dare they bully Raegan! He hit the floor again and declared, "From today onwards, you must never step foot into this house!" Kenia couldn't believe her ears.
After all, Kyler was always so kind to his descendants.
He never raised his voice at anyone, let alone made such a declaration.
At this moment, Kenia realized that she had made a very big mistake.
She was about to kneel and beg for mercy.
However, the security guards dragged her roughly.
In no time, Kenia and Tessa were thrown out of the mansion like bags of trash.
Peace returned to the house again.
Kyler walked toward Raegan and said, "Sorry about that, Raegan." "I'm fine." “You should go get changed so you won't catch a cold." Kyler had reserved a room for Raegan and even stocked up the closet with new clothes.
After getting changed, Raegan returned downstairs to have dinner with Kyler.
She and Mitchel were sitting side by side at the table.
When Raegan's favorite beef stir-fry was served, Mitchel put some on her plate.
This kind gesture went unnoticed by Raegan.
Her mind was somewhere else.
She kept thinking of when Tessa told her Mitchel had gone to see Lauren.
Why didn't he bring her with him? Could it be that Tessa was just lying? Something occurred to Raegan at this moment.
Judging by how ill Lauren reportedly was, maybe she wasn't strong enough to be out of the hospital now.
That seemed like a logical reason.
However, she felt that Mitchel was acting strange.
He didn't seem to mind that she told Tessa about their marriage.
Raegan assumed that she was probably thinking too much.
Since Tessa was close to Lauren, it was only a matter of time before Tessa found out.
Perhaps that was why Mitchel didn't give her hell.
While she was still lost in thought, Raegan suddenly felt a pinch on her thigh.
“Ouch!" She couldn't help but scream out.
To her surprise, she looked at Mitchel, only to find him sipping his soup as if he did nothing.
What was this man doing? Was he out of his mind? Raegan’'s head buzzed, and her heart beat faster and faster.
“What's the matter, Raegan?" Kyler stopped eating and asked with concern.
"L...Nothing.
I almost choked.
That's all." Raegan flashed a smile, but her fist was clenched under the table as she tried to restrain her heart from jumping out.
"The beef stir-fry is good.
Have some more." “Alright.” Raegan breathed a sigh of relief.
The next second, she heard Mitchel say in a low voice, "You haven't had a single spoonful.
How did you almost get choked?’ For a moment, she was lost for words.
She wished she could just shut Mitchel up with duct tape.
After taking a deep breath, Raegan explained, "It just happened.
| guess I choked on my saliva." She swallowed hard as if to convince Kyler.
“Ha-ha! Raegan, are you joking?” Kyler laughed out loud and looked at her.
“Anyway, I’m glad that you’re fine.” As soon as she got off the hook, Raegan whispered to Mitchel, "What are you trying to do?" Mitchel just shrugged with a smirk on his lips.
Annoyed, Raegan reached out her hand to get back at him.
But Mitchel saw it coming from a mile away.
With quickness, he wrapped his hand around hers.
Raegan could feel how rough his palm was as he fondled her hand.
As if that was not enough, he traced her soft palm with his fingertips.
It sent an electrifying shiver to her whole body.
Her heart pounded.
Raegan blushed and tried to get rid of Mitchel's grip, but he held on to her hand tighter.
She glared at him out of frustration.
The smirk at the corners of his lips remained.
He continued to enjoy his meal.
Anyone who saw his face would have a hard time believing that he was flirting with her under the table.
He scribbled some words on her palm.
Although Raegan didn't know what it was, she reasoned that he must be teasing her.
Her face flushed with anger immediately.
The exchange was a little amorous.
However, Raegan couldn't help thinking that Mitchel must be missing Lauren now.
At this time, Kyler, who was sitting opposite Raegan, noticed the change in her face.
He asked with concern, “What's wrong, Raegan? Why is your face red?”
