Love Unbreakable

Chapter 175

Get Back With Their EX Mitchel, clad in a finely tailored suit and black overcoat, exuded inherent dignity. Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

The girl by his side clung to his arm.

Their closeness suggested they were a couple.

When Mitchel's gaze met Raegan's, his eyes held no emotion.

After a brief moment, he shifted his attention to Eloise and suggested, "Shall we pick out some clothes?” Eloise noticed Raegan and felt a twinge of discomfort when she recalled their past encounters.

But at the same time, she was buoyed by Mitchel’s gentle and pampering tone.

As she walked into the shop and looked around, nothing particularly caught her eye.

However, she found herself fixated on the outfit Raegan was wearing.

"Do you have that dress?” she asked the saleswoman.

"The clothes here are all custom-made, and there's only one of each," the saleswoman replied with a polite smile.

Eloise’s lips curled in displeasure.

She usually preferred bright colors, but the dark green dress, which was not particularly eye-catching, looked so striking on Raegan.

Moreover, out of the corner of her eye, she caught Mitchel staring at Raegan and felt indignant.

Well, she had no interest in an attire someone else had worn.

With that, she gripped Mitchel’s arm and turned to leave.

The saleswoman was sophisticated, though.

She glanced at Eloise, turned to Raegan, and rolled her eyes.

As she observed the scene, she discerned Eloise's affluent background from her high-end, custom attire.

Beside Eloise, Mitchel exuded a noble air.

With a decade of experience in retail, the saleswoman could tell he was rich and influential.

On the contrary, Raegan had expressed she would not buy the outfit.

It was probably because she could not afford it.

Given the overcoat's price tag of over 100 grand, it was a reasonable assumption that not everyone could afford such luxury.

It did not take a genius to know who to serve.

"Miss, wait," the saleswoman said to Eloise with a courteous smile.

"I can ask that lady to take the outfit off so you can try it on.

Would that be alright?" Eloise was taken aback by the offer.

She had no intention of embarrassing Raegan, but the opportunity presented itself.

Her decision was influenced partly by jealousy, having seen Mitchel’s fond gaze on Raegan.

Mitchel had never seen her like this.

Therefore, Eloise raised her chin confidently and said, "Yes, have her take them off quickly.

I don't want to try them on, though.

I'll buy them for my housekeeper.” Her tone was sharp, and her words were intentionally demeaning.

The fact that Raegan was currently wearing the outfit and Eloise planned to give it to her housekeeper was a clear jab.

Mitchel cast a frown toward Eloise.

One could not discern if he was pleased or mad.

The saleswoman, excited with the potential order, turned to Raegan and urged, "Miss, please take it off." Nicole was infuriated.

What the hell? Eloise was demeaning Raegan right in front of her! Worse still, Eloise even said she would buy those clothes for her housekeeper.

How arrogant! "What did you just say? Did we say we weren't going to buy them?" Nicole asked the saleswoman.

The saleswoman glanced at Raegan and reasoned, "This lady just said no." "T'll buy them." Nicole reached for her card.

Raegan's attempts to dissuade her were in vain.

With a scornful glance at Eloise, who was clinging to Mitchel, Nicole scoffed inwardly.

She found it ironic that Mitchel was a man Raegan had abandoned but was treasured by Eloise.

The saleswoman shot an apologetic look at Eloise and went to process Nicole's payment.

But soon enough, the saleswoman walked over to Nicole and condescendingly said, "Miss, your card seems to have insufficient funds." It was not that Nicole was poor.

It was just that she had given the wrong card.

Realizing her mistake, Nicole awkwardly said, "Oops, wrong card.” As she reached for another card, Raegan intervened.

Raegan shook her head and insisted, "Please, don't.

I don't want it.” It was self-humiliating to compete with Mitchel who could buy an entire mall.

Raegan was practical and saw no value in such pettiness.

With that, she quickly changed back into her own clothes and handed the clothes to the saleswoman.

Because Raegan was adamant, there was nothing Nicole could do.

Just as they were about to step out, they saw Eloise casually pointing at a selection of clothes and, without even trying them on, asked, “Mitchel, can you buy me all of those?" Mitchel gave a nod nonchalantly.

Eloise’s face lit up, and she said with a coquettish smile, "Thank you, Mitchel.

You're so kind to me.” "Anything to make you happy,” Mitchel replied in an unusually gentle tone.

This made Raegan fall into a trance.

The memory of when they last fucked, how he grabbed her waist and demanded her to moan, flashed across her mind.

Mitchel seemed so different now.

With a wistful smile, Raegan realized that his love, once given solely to her, could easily be bestowed upon another.

As Nicole approached, Eloise cast a haughty look in her direction.

Then, with a smirk, she stood on tiptoe, kissed Mitchel's cheek, and exclaimed joyfully, "I'm so happy!" Raegan was taken aback by their display of affection.

She immediately looked away and composed herself.

Nicole's hackles rose.

Just as she was about to confront Eloise, Raegan held her back and shook her head, urging her to let it go.

Nicole tried, with all her might, to suppress her anger.

Even so, she could not help but glare at Mitchel as they passed.

What a heartless jerk! Once outside, Nicole vented her frustration about Mitchel’s demeanor.

"It seems that bastard’s really into his new girlfriend.

He even goes shopping with her.

Maybe it's because of her family’s success in new energy sector.” Raegan, on the other hand, was not concerned with the business dealings.

Sensing Raegan’s low spirits, Nicole offered, "If you're not up for shopping, we could go home.” Raegan smiled.

"Let's keep shopping for a while." She did not want to spoil the day.

It was not every day Nicole invited her out.

Inside the boutique, Eloise was busy writing down a delivery address.

The saleswoman walked over to Eloise with a warm smile and offered two cups of coffee.

As Eloise reached for a cup, Mitchel suddenly came over and asked, "All set?” Startled, Eloise failed to grasp the cup, spilling the coffee onto the floor.

The saleswoman quickly bowed her head and apologized.

Recognizing her own mistake, Eloise waved at the saleswoman dismissively.

It was not the saleswoman’s fault, after all.

Mitchel, however, seemed displeased and demanded, "Where's the manager?" The male shop manager approached and bowed respectfully.

"Sir, what can I do for you?” Mitchel's gaze shifted to the saleswoman, and he coldly stated, "Her service was unsatisfactory." Flustered, the saleswoman hurriedly explained, "Sir, I...

[didn't mean to spill the coffee." She cast a glance at Eloise with a pitiful expression, hoping Eloise would help her prove her innocence.

Eloise, equally shocked, chimed in, "Mitchel, it’s okay, I..." But before she could finish, Mitchel fixed the manager with a stern look.

"How did your store even become part of this mall?” The shop manager lowered his head and asked, "What would you like me to do, sir?" "Fire her," Mitchel curtly said and then left the store.

The saleswoman was left dumbfounded.

Her brief moment of triumph from the deals vanished, replaced by shock and fear.

On the verge of tears, she tried to follow Mitchel, but the manager held her back.

"This customer is a top-tier one,” the manager explained.

"I'll send the surveillance footage to our headquarters for review.

Go home for now." Meanwhile, Eloise looked unsettled.

She had a feeling that Mitchel had done that not in her defense but in

Raegan's.

‘ At this moment, she quickened her pace to catch up with Mitchel and then reached out to grasp his arm.

But then, Mitchel turned sharply and gazed at her with an icy gaze.

"I don't like being touched.

Don't do that again.” Eloise’s eyes turned red, and her cheeks burned as if she had been slapped.

The truth was, she did not actually kiss him earlier.

Mitchel had deftly avoided her.

She had made loud noises on purpose because she was afraid of losing face.

But she did not realize she had crossed his boundaries.

Mitchel did not wait for her and marched ahead.

Eloise forced herself to calm down and hurried after him.

She could not ruin this shopping trip, especially given the efforts of Mitchel's father on her behalf.

Meanwhile, Raegan and Nicole were shopping at a cosmetics store on the first floor.

After a while, Nicole excused herself to use the restroom, so Raegan wandered around while waiting.

A few steps away, Raegan spotted a wallet on the ground.

It was a simple black Kraft design, adorned with a short-name logo.

She recognized it at once.

Raegan was reluctant to pick it up at first.

But as she pondered, she thought of the potential risk to Mitchel if his identity documents got lost and fell into the wrong hands.

With that, she picked up the wallet, intending to hand it over to the reception desk so they could inform its owner.

However, before she could take a few steps, she saw Mitchel standing by the railing and talking to someone on the phone.

Eloise was nowhere in sight.

Not wanting to cause a scene, Raegan gently tugged on his sleeve to get his attention.

She was about to say something when he suddenly shook her hand off and snapped, "Don't touch me.” Mitchel's action surprised Raegan.

His forceful motion caused Raegan to stumble and fall and the wallet to fly out of her grasp.

Pain seared through Raegan’s hand.

She must have scraped her skin on the floor.

Moreover, her ankle throbbed, possibly sprained.

Hearing a yelp, Mitchel impatiently turned around.

His expression shifted to shock upon seeing Raegan on the floor.

He immediately extended his hand to help.

But then, Nicole happened to emerge from the bathroom and pushed him away.

Nicole had seen how Mitchel mercilessly pushed Raegan away.

Without a second thought, she rushed up to Mitchel and jabbed her finger at him.

"Are you a man or not? How could you hit your ex-wife?!" Mitchel's face turned pale.

He wanted to approach Raegan and apologize, but Nicole blocked his way.

At the same time, Eloise came out of the restroom.

Upon hearing from Nicole that Raegan was Mitchel's mysterious ex-wife, she stood there, utterly stunned.

She feared Raegan might attempt to rekindle her relationship with Mitchel.

It was not impossible, considering Raegan was pretty.

Without thinking, Eloise rushed to Nicole and snapped, "How dare you push him! Don't you have any manners?" Indignant on Raegan’'s behalf, Nicole retorted, "I'd push him again if I could.

He's a jerk!" Eloise then glared at Raegan and began berating her.

"So, you're Mitchel's ex-wife.

Have you no shame? How could you show up at his office when you're already divorced? Have some self-respect.

Don't bother Mitchel.

Don’t stoop so low.” The noise around them grew.

For a moment, Raegan felt a wave of dizziness.

As the scene before her appeared to recede, Raegan’s memory took over, and she recalled the times Mitchel had done similar things but with Lauren.

She narrowed her eyes and stared at him for a long time.

Mitchel at this moment overlapped his image from her memories.

Mitchel had not changed, and she always ended up enduring the pain.

"What are you talking about? You're the one obsessed with Mitchel.

Raegan left him,” Nicole sneered.

Nicole and Eloise's argument escalated, drawing the attention of everyone around.

"Nicole, please, no more fighting," Raegan interjected.

Her voice, though not loud, cut through the heated exchange.

She limped forward, picked up the wallet, and extended it toward Eloise.

With a resigned smile, Raegan said, "He dropped his wallet.

I found it and intended to return it.

Please, don't misunderstand.

Not everyone wants to get back with their ex.” With those words, Raegan grasped Nicole’s hand and walked away, avoiding Mitchel's gaze.

As Raegan walked away, her feet ached, and her steps were rigid.

But she was determined not to show her discomfort.

She focused on walking with as much grace as possible and masked any sign of pain.

Meanwhile, Mitchel looked visibly upset.

Eloise handed over his wallet and muttered, "Your ex -wife's friend is so aggressive.

It makes me think your ex-wife must be difficult, too.

It's good that you're no longer together.” As she spoke, she felt a sudden chill.

She looked up and met Mitchel’s icy stare.

"Who said you have the right to judge?” he snarled, which sent shivers down Eloise's spine.

“Mitchel, I..." Mitchel had no interest in listening to her and cut her off with a cold look, "Raegan never chased after me.

It was always the other way around.” Eloise’s heart sank, and tears welled up in her eyes.

"How can you say that, Mitchel? Your father said I'd be your wife..." "He doesn’t make my decisions,” Mitchel replied sharply.

Not wanting to talk to her anymore, he took his wallet and dismissed her bluntly, "Leave now.

| don't want to see you again.” At the entrance of the mall, Nicole noticed Raegan's swollen ankle and felt a surge of anger toward Mitchel.

Raegan's condition worsened with each step.

With a sigh, Nicole supported Raegan and offered, "I'll bring the car around.

Wait for me here." As night fell, the dim street lights flickered on.

Standing at the door, Raegan was engulfed in sadness.

Then, she felt something cold on her face.

She touched it and realized they were tears.

Before she could ponder further, Nicole’s car headlights illuminated her.

Not wanting Nicole to see her tears, Raegan quickly wiped them away.

In the car, Nicole tried to lighten the mood with humor.

A few moments later, she peered into her rearview mirror and frowned.

"Doesn't that guy in the car behind us look like that jerk Mitchel?” Raegan glanced back and saw a silver luxury car.

It was hard to identify the driver.

Knowing Mitchel’s collection of cars, Raegan could not be certain it was him.

Nicole could not see the driver clearly as well, so she just offered a reminder.

"Raegan, I can't stay over tonight.

Make sure to lock your door and stay safe, okay?" Raegan nodded.

"Okay." Just then, her phone buzzed with a new message.

Raegan opened it and saw it was from Henley, asking about her decision to translate a book.

She could not recall discussing this with him.

Suddenly, an idea occurred to her.

She glanced at the silver car still trailing them and typed a reply.

"Are you free? Can you come over to my place to discuss it?” "Sure.

I'm close by.

I'll be there shortly," Henley replied almost immediately.

"Meet me at my door." After Nicole dropped her off at her apartment, Raegan went upstairs to her unit to find Henley already waiting.

She opened the door and invited him, "Come in, please.” As they settled in, Raegan "accidentally" spilled coffee on him.

The next moment, she looked at him and asked, "Do you want to take a shower?"
