Love Unbreakable

Chapter 313 We Are Dating!

Mitchel's Adam's apple bobbed with excitement as he inquired, "Raegan, has your memory returned?"

"Nope," replied Raegan. She just felt a pang of sympathy for her past self.

Hearing her response, a shadow passed over Mitchel's eyes. Deep down, he yearned for Raegan to regain her memories, but he also feared the possibility of her recalling painful experiences. It was a complex mix of emotions for him.

Uncertain about what to say, Mitchel eventually managed to utter a heartfelt apology, "I'm truly sorry, Raegan..."

He couldn't deny that he had committed some terrible mistakes in the past. However, he remained faithful to her, both emotionally and physically. While he did assist Lauren on occasion, he had never harbored any romantic feelings for Lauren.

As Mitchel wore a distressed expression, Raegan spoke with indifference, "Mr. Dixon, have you ever heard the saying that no matter how sincere the apologies may be, not everyone gets a second chance? I don't possess the authority to decide whether the person I used to be should forgive you or not."

Her voice was icy and detached, in stark contrast to the enthusiasm she had shown the previous night.

Mitchel's heart constricted, seemingly stirred by a surge of emotions.

At that moment, the doorbell rang, prompting Raegan to hurry over and answer it.

"Are you alright, Raegan?" Stefan entered, gently patting her shoulder while casting nervous glances up and down at her.

Raegan couldn't help but be affected by his anxious demeanor. "I'm fine, Stefan," she assured him.

Stefan breathed a sigh of relief, giving her back a reassuring pat.

This small gesture didn't go unnoticed by Mitchel, who watched with a critical eye.

Suddenly, Mitchel stepped forward and firmly grabbed Raegan's wrist, fixing a cold stare on Stefan. "Remove your hand from her," he demanded, his words dripping with frost.

To everyone's astonishment, Raegan instinctively grabbed Stefan's wrist in response.

At that moment, Mitchel found himself holding Raegan's wrist while she held Stefan's hand, creating a palpable tension in the room.

Mitchel's once-handsome face now wore a gloomy expression, his forehead marred by a trickle of blood courtesy of Raegan's actions, giving him an almost demonic appearance.

To evade Mitchel's intense gaze, Raegan moved closer to Stefan, which softened Stefan's heart amid this awkward atmosphere.

In truth, Stefan's literary pursuits were merely a façade. The Clifford family held significant influence in the north, but Stefan could no longer bear their tradition of constant conflicts and violence. So, he chose to steer clear away from the Clifford family and spent years living in Swynborough.

Over time, Stefan had become close friends with Erick. When he learned of Erick's desire to return to Ardlens with Raegan, Stefan decided to settle in Ardlens.

Stefan had researched Ardlens online and was drawn to the city's charm and its welcoming atmosphere. Unlike his homeland, where powerful clans dominated, people there suffered a lot.

Having grown up in such an environment, Stefan was anything but a coward. He had the guts to protect the woman he liked at a moment like this.

With reassurance, Stefan clasped Raegan's hand in his and comforted her, "Don't worry."

Meanwhile, Mitchel was deeply wounded by the sight before him. How could Raegan cozy up to another man right under his nose? It appeared she was completely indifferent to his feelings.

Although Raegan felt a bit uncomfortable when Stefan held her hand, her bias against Mitchel outweighed any awkwardness she might have felt.

Raegan shot Mitchel a cold stare. "Release my hand."

Suppressing his anger, Mitchel forcefully pulled her hand and gritted his teeth. "Come to my side, and I'll release it!"

Raegan frowned, feeling a sharp pain in her shoulder as Mitchel exerted great force on her hand.

Observing this, Stefan put his arm around Raegan's shoulder and spoke with a stern expression. "Didn't you hear Raegan? She asked you to let go of her."

Mitchel's anger flared instantly at Stefan's intervention, and his voice turned chillingly cold. "You're just an outsider. How dare you meddle in our private affairs!"

Stefan's tone remained gentle, but his resolve was unwavering as he retorted, "Mr. Dixon, I'm afraid you have no right to question me like that, considering Raegan is no longer your wife."

Mitchel hadn't anticipated that Stefan would be aware of their divorce. His once-handsome face turned pallid, almost immediately, as if it had been pierced by a thousand arrows, the pain palpable.

With red eyes, Mitchel hoarsely questioned Raegan, "Raegan, what is your relationship with him?"

At that moment, Mitchel's face was deathly pale, marked by bloodshot eyes after a sleepless night. The sorrow in his gaze was painfully evident, making it clear that he was deeply wounded.

However, Raegan met his gaze with a stoic expression. She had no romantic involvement with Stefan, but she chose not to reveal the truth in an attempt to discourage Mitchel.

Noticing Raegan's conflicted expression, Stefan raised his eyebrows and took the initiative to speak. "With Erick's approval, Raegan and I are in a relationship. If things go well, we plan to get married soon."This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

Stefan's words hit like a thunderbolt, leaving Mitchel's eyes reddening. Ignoring Stefan's presence, he locked his gaze onto Raegan and asked each word with intensity, "Is he telling the truth?"

Raegan hadn't anticipated that Stefan would fabricate such a story. With Erick's permission? Marriage? She was left dumbfounded by the unexpected turn of events.

However, considering Mitchel's dominant personality, Raegan promptly replied, "Yes, it's true. We are in a relationship!"

The impact of those words was like a bomb detonating. Mitchel felt as though his heart had been torn apart by her declaration. His once-handsome face turned deathly pale in an instant.

Taking advantage of the moment, Raegan withdrew her hand and continued, "Mr. Dixon, please don't interfere in my life any longer. I don't want Stefan to get jealous."

Hearing her words, Mitchel was left speechless, feeling as though Raegan's words had fragmented his very being.

"How is that possible?" Mitchel exclaimed suddenly, "You promised me that you wouldn't marry within the next six months!"

"Yes, Stefan and I are in a relationship with the intention of marriage, but we are not married yet," she clarified.

Raegan added calmly, "Rest assured. I intend to keep my promise and marry in six months."

Hearing Raegan's words, Mitchel's anger surged to new heights.

"Raegan, you should think carefully before speaking. I agreed to our divorce because you wanted fairness, not because I'm giving up on you. Do you think you can marry another man at your whim, and I'll just stand by and do nothing?" Mitchel's handsome face contorted with rage as he spat out the words through gritted teeth.

Stefan, protective of Raegan, pulled her behind him and spoke resolutely. "Mr. Dixon, as far as I know, Ardlens is governed by the law. If you intend to control everything, you should be aware of whom you're up against. Raegan is now the daughter of the Foster family. She's no longer the vulnerable girl who endured mistreatment and captivity under your authority. If you ever dare to mistreat her again, both the Foster family and the Clifford family will not let you off lightly."

Mitchel's expression darkened considerably at the mention of the Clifford family. The Clifford family in the north! It was practically an autonomous nation.

In that land, the royal family served as mere figureheads, with the true power held by two dominant clans. One of the clans was the influential Maxwell family, and the other was the renowned Clifford family. The Clifford family, in particular, wielded immense wealth and influence within the country, making them unparalleled in power.

Mitchel couldn't believe that someone as seemingly mild-mannered as Stefan was actually a member of the formidable Clifford family.

Mitchel sneered, "I've heard that despite their immense power, the Clifford family places great importance on ethical principles. I'm curious why you would resort to such actions to pursue someone else's woman!"
