Love Unbreakable by Bank Brook -
Chapter 1803
Raegan chuckled to herself quietly.
This wasn’t her concern, after all.
Mitchel hadn’t even bothered to say hello, and perhaps some questions were better left unanswered.
Maybe it was better if they remained strangers.
“Mitchel.
” A woman’s slim arm linked with Mitchel’s.
“The dishes are ready.
Let’s eat together.
”
The atmosphere froze for a moment.
Raegan’s steps halted abruptly.
Mitchel didn’t particularly like the dishes in this restaurant, but here he was with Katie, likely creating fodder for tomorrow’s gossip columns with their public display of affection.
Katie sensed a coldness coming from Mitchel, chilling her to the bone, but she maintained her grip effortlessly.
She doubted Mitchel would reject her in Raegan’s presence.
As Katie expected, Mitchel didn’t pull away.
Instead, he replied in an even tone, “Alright.
”
Mitchel then began to walk away.
Katie wasn’t ready to let the moment end.
She paused, pretending to just notice Raegan nearby.
“Miss Foster?” Katie’s voice carried a tone of feigned surprise as she stepped forward.
“Are you dining here? Why not join us?”
Though Katie’s invitation was bubbly, Raegan wasn’t deceived.
When latching onto Mitchel’s arm, Katie had spotted her already.
This invitation was clearly a show.
What really shocked Raegan was Katie’s current appearance.
Although not breathtaking, the previous Katie was far from plain.
Typically dressed in designer clothes, Katie usually presented herself as a refined and dignified socialite.
Now, it might have been her pregnancy, but her face looked pale and drawn.
Her makeup was peeling, unable to hide the dark spots underneath.
This was a sharp contrast to Katie’s flawless image that the news often showed.
She was likely enhanced because the Dixon Group, which first reported on her, would naturally want the CEO’s wife to look good.
Pregnancy really changed Katie.
Raegan wasn’t interested in watching their affectionate display.
She responded indifferently, “Thanks, but I’m here with a friend.
”
The shock in Raegan’s eyes didn’t escape Katie’s notice.
Her grip on Mitchel’s hand tightened without her realizing.
If looks could kill, Katie’s stare right then was lethal, particularly after she saw Raegan’s face, smooth and delicate Like a fragile eggshell.
Jealousy and resentment bubbled up from within Katie.
Why did her pregnancy have to make her look so unattractive? She cursed the baby inside her for draining her beauty.
Yet, here was Raegan, stunning as ever with eyes full of emotion, seemingly trying to charm on purpose.
Katie was fuming.
But Raegan didn’t pay heed to Katie, oblivious to the latter’s vicious thoughts.
Seeing Mitchell not pushing Katie away, with their arms intertwined, Raegan felt a surge of nausea and disgust wash over her.
Erick had brought up the stagnant investigation into the kidnapping case involving Janey and Annis.
They had finally tracked down a thug linked to the kidnappers, but just as they were about to question the thug, a lawyer stepped in, and the thug disappeared.
They later found out the lawyer was connected to the Dixon Group.
Raegan had long harbored suspicions about Katie’s role in the kidnappings.
How else would Luciana have known where the kidnappers were? It had to be from the information Luciana got in return for meeting Katie’s demands.
Now, with Luciana being unavailable and the death of those kidnappers, the fact that the mastermind stood unharmed seemed to be solely due to Mitchel.
If he decided to shield someone, they were untouchable.
Feeling more and more uncomfortable, Raegan tried to leave but was halted by Katie’s extended hand.
“Miss Foster, about the dress you designed for me, I approved the draft earlier today.
Have you seen it?”
Raegan was taken aback by the abrupt change of topic.
Initially, Katie’s deposit appeared to be merely an attempt to embarrass her, and there hadn’t been any follow-up or confirmation since then, leaving the issue hanging.
Now, intent on turning the embarrassment into reality, Katie wasn’t letting it slide.
She purposefully said, “I got my wedding dress made last year.
Could you just make a couple of casual outfits for me to wear on the honeymoon, and maybe two suits for my husband too?”
