Raegan, feeling touched, expressed her gratitude, “Thank you.

” Though Mitchel could be domineering at times, he showed caring actions.

Raegan’s gentle thanks seemed to ease Mitchel’s irritation, and he found some comfort in watching her take the vitamins.

Mitchel thought Raegan just wasn’t ready yet.

There was no need to rush.

They had all the time in the world.

The car engine hummed to life once more.

Before long, they reached Raegan’s studio.

Just as Raegan was about to exit the car, Mitchel caught her hand softly, clarifying, “I’m not against assisting Miss Lawrence, but this matter involves deliberate harm.

And with Jarrod not pressing charges against Miss Lawrence, it’s hard for me to step in.

Raegan got it.

The situation between Nicole and Jarrod was indeed complex, not really open to interference from others.

Considering Nicole’s decision to look after Jarrod, Mitchel’s hands were tied.

Raegan nodded.

“Okay, I understand.

A quiet moment passed between them.

Mitchel didn’t open the door, seemingly hesitant to let Raegan go, and Raegan sensed he might have more to say.

However, after a brief silence, Mitchel just looked at Raegan, his eyes holding her in a mesmerizing gaze.

He simply didn’t want to let her go!

Raegan felt her cheeks warm under his intense look and broke the silence.

“Thanks for the ride.

I need to head to my office now.

Mitchel wished she could stay longer with him but found no reason to ask her to, so he let her leave, though with a sense of reluctance.

Watching her from the car window as she left, Mitchel felt compelled to say, “If there’s anything you need, just come to me, and…”

He added softly, “I’ll come to pick you up this evening.

Even though Mitchel had vowed not to try to charm Raegan over again this morning, here he was, doing just that in the afternoon.

Raegan was taken aback, not expecting this.

Mitchel had been quite mad earlier in the day.

Why the sudden gentleness? She declined.

“Don’t bother.

The driver from my family…”

Mitchel cut in, “We agreed I’d be your driver, and I happen to have something to do in that direction tonight anyway.

Raegan didn’t object to his offer since something just crossed her mind.

“Just one second.

Mitchel’s expression changed subtly, his smile appearing naturally.

“What’s on your mind?” His tone was gentle and unhurried.

Raegan took out a check from her purse and passed it to him through the car window.

“Just the other day, I bumped into Brent.

He mentioned he had demanded five million from you.

Here’s the repayment.

Raegan had planned to settle this debt the day before yesterday, but got caught up in Nicole’s issues and forgot.

Now was as good a time as any.

She wasn’t one to delay.
