Old Witch Kyler calmed down and said in a low voice, “I wasn’t born yesterday, Mitchel.
Stop lying to me.” “Grandpa, I’m telling the truth.
Raegan and I just had a lovers’ tiff,” said Mitchel.
Kyler didn’t believe what Mitchel said at all.
He looked at Raegan for confirmation.
“Is that true?” Raegan, who had barely gotten over the shock, patted her lips, but no words came out.
Out of the blue, Mitchel pulled her into his embrace.
His fingers grasped her shoulder as he smiled down at her like a doting husband.
“Come on, tell him.” Kyler pulled Raegan over and said angrily, “Don’t try to threaten her.
Raegan, tell me.
Did you two just have a simple fight?” Although Kyler was still mad at Mitchel, the joy and expectation
in his eyes were glaring.
Raegan pursed her lips, put on asmile, and whispered, “Yes, it’s true.” “Thank God! Oh, you two almost
killed me with a heart attack!” Kyler laughed out loud.
As tears welled up in Raegan’s eyes, she held Kyler’s hand and said seriously, “Kyler, please take good
care of yourself.” “Don’t cry, dearie!” Kyler smiled and said, “As I said earlier, I’m fine.
Don’t worry about me.
I’m pushing ninety now.
If my creator says it’s time for me to come back home, then I’ll have no qualms.
My only regret is that I didn’t get to see my _ great- grandchildren yet.” Raegan sniffed and held on to
Kyler’s hand.
“Don’t say those words.
You’ll live a long life!” “Ha-ha! I hope so.
I’ll wait to see my great- grandchildren then.
I’m sure they will be as cute as you.” At this time, a nurse suddenly came in and said that the patient
needed rest.
Raegan quickly helped Kyler to lie down.
Before lying down, Kyler issued a warning to Mitchel, “Listen here, you brat.
If you dare to hurt Raegan, I won’t let it slide.” After coming out of the ward, Mitchel strode forward
ahead of Raegan.
And his words of no divorce kept resounding in Raegan’s mind.
Raegan wanted to ask Mitchel for an explanation.
Did Mitchel really mean that or did he just say that to calm Kyler down and cheer him up? Her thoughts
were muddled now.
She lowered her head helplessly.
Suddenly, someone grabbed her wrist.
She was pulled into the corner with a good amount of force.
Raegan looked up to find that it was Mitchel.
She staggered behind him like a little girl.

She was still wondering why he said those words Just now.
“You are really something, Raegan,” Mitchel sneered sarcastically.
Raegan was stunned.
She had no idea what he was talking about.
Mitchel gritted his teeth and questioned, “If you don’t want the divorce, just say it.
Why did you have to get my grandfather involved? | already told you not to let him find out.
You saw what happened.
That was exactly what I was trying to avoid!” Raegan’s eyes widened in disbelief.
In the past two years, she had been looking after Kyler carefully and took him as her own grandfather.
She felt that even if Mitchel was oblivious to what she did, he should know that she would never do
anything to hurt Kyler.
Never in her wildest dreams did she imagine Mitchel would accuse her in this manner.
It was so ridiculous that just then, she had been wondering whether Mitchel really didn’t want to divorce
her.
It turned out it was all in her head again.
What a fool she had been! The ball of hope in her heart was prickled by several needles now.
She smiled bitterly at him.
“Wait adamn minute! You think I told Kyler about the divorce?” “Did you not?” Mitchel retorted.
This wasn’t a question, but an accusation.
He was quite sure about it.
He didn’t even want to investigate it but just assumed that she was the one who let Kyler know about
their upcoming divorce.
Grievance, sadness, and disappointment overwhelmed Raegan in an instant.
She bit her lips and froze on the spot.
The look he gave her now suggested he wouldn’t believe anything she said, so she didn’t even bother.
“Fine! If you think I did it, then I did it! Now that you have realized that I’m so sly, you should divorce me
right away!” After saying that, Raegan burst into tears.
This made Mitchel a little flustered.
He reached out, intending to wipe her tears, but she slapped his hand away.
“What are you waiting for, Mitchel? I’m such a cunning and despicable woman.
Shouldn’t you get rid of me quickly? Let’s go to the court right now!” “Come on, stop being
unreasonable!” Mitchel ran his fingers through his hair and took a deep breath.
“For the sake of my grandpa, we can’t get divorced now.” “Fine! Hit me up when you calm him down.
I’ll be ready to get this over and done with at any time.” Raegan wiped the tears off her face and walked
past him without a backward glance.
Her heart was numb.
She could no longer feel any pain.
Just when she was a few steps away, a soft voice came to her ears.
“Raegan, Mitchel…” Lauren took feather-like steps toward them.
By the time she reached Mitchel, she staggered like she was about to faint.
Mitchel reached out to hold her and asked sharply, “What are you doing here?” “I came for the routine
check-up and happened to see you when you brought Kyler in.” Lauren looked anxious.
“How is he doing now? Please tell me he’s okay! I’m worried about him.
Can I go see him?” Raegan spun on her heels and said curtly, “Don’t disturb Kyler at the moment.
He’s not expecting you, so stay away!” “Oh, my! Is it a crime that I want to check on Kyler? Why are
you speaking to me so rudely?” Lauren held her chest and looked pitiful.
Raegan twisted half of her face as she stared at the drama queen.
Kyler had just suffered a heart attack and was yet to recover.
If Lauren showed up in front of him, he might just convulse to death.
And she believed that Mitchel should also know it.
As expected, after a moment of silence, Mitchel explained, “Lauren, you can’t show up in front of my
grandfather now.” Lauren’s eyes widened.
Huh? What the hell did he just say? She completely dropped her acting.
What happened to the Mitchel who promised to do anything for her? He used to say yes to her every
request.
But now, he said no without even mincing words.
Was this adream? Lauren was well aware that no one in the Dixon family liked her, except Mitchel’s
father.
She wanted to work her way into the hearts of his family.
Yet, Mitchel was the one standing in her way.
Why? Lauren took a look at Raegan and lowered her gaze.
A sinister coldness flashed across her eyes.
Raegan must be trying to drive a wedge between them! Only God knew what nonsense she filled
Mitchel’’s head with! Her existence was too much of a threat.
This bitch had to go! Lauren hid the resentment in her heart and said pitifully, “Mitchel, didn’t you say
that you were getting divorced today? How come your grandpa ended up in the hospital? Did someone
say anything to him?” It was obvious she was dropping hints at the cause of Kyler’s hospitalization.
Raegan sneered.
These two were indeed like minds! With teary eyes, Lauren turned to look at Raegan and said,
“Raegan, if you don’t want this divorce, Just come out straight.
Why are you toying with my feelings? You just told me on the phone that you were on your way to go
through the divorce.” Lauren’s tears were like pearls hanging on her face, and her expression was
rather innocent and pitiful.
The corners of Raegan’s mouth twitched as she thought to herself.
This snake really deserved an Oscar.
What the…
Raegan was in no mood to argue with Lauren today or watch Lauren pull her best acting yet in front of
Mitchel.
“Mitchel and I can’t get divorced for now.
As for why, I think you should direct that question to Mitchel.
Bye!” After eyeing the two of them, Raegan turned around to leave.
But she bumped into Luciana who had just shown up.
When Luciana saw Raegan’s red eyes and noticed the two people behind her, Luciana put two and two
together.
She took Raegan’s hand and said authoritatively, “You are going nowhere.
As my daughter-in-law and a member of the Dixon family, you stay with us.
If anyone should leave, it should be the outsider in our midst!” Luciana raised her voice on purpose.
Hearing this statement, Lauren’s face turned pale.
She put on an act to stagger back and collapsed into Mitchel’s arms.
With her head lowered, Lauren’s shoulders shivered violently as if she was crying her heart out.
She was actually gnashing her teeth.
She hated Luciana’s guts.
This old bitch showed up to put a spanner in her works again! Argh! She was so pissed.
Fuck it! Luciana could go to hell with her acceptance.
All that mattered was that Mitchel cared about her the most.
Once she got married to Mitchel, she would teach this old witch a lesson for being so mean! Luciana’s
blood boiled as she watched Lauren leaning shamelessly in her son’s arms.
What a loose girl! She grabbed the broom from the cleaner who happened to be next to her.
And then, she swept the dirt on the floor toward Lauren with a few quick swipes.
Lauren was horrified.
“What are you doing?” With a scowl, Luciana pointed the broom at Lauren and shouted, “I’m just
sweeping the dirt.
Get out of my sight, you filthy slut!”
