Self Denial Soon, Mitchel's handsome face turned normal and his voice was indifferent.

"Don't worry.

I won't make you do that." "Do what?" Raegan muttered with her hand still over her mouth.

The noisy wind drowned their voices a little.

His stare was intense as he amorously said, "I won't make you use your..." "Shush!" Raegan had heard enough.

She covered his mouth with her hand.

His soft lips felt so warm against her palm.

Raegan took her hand back as if she was scalded.

Mitchel’s eyes dimmed for a moment.

He pulled a chair over, placed the medicine box on it, and then sat on the edge of the bed.

He took out the disinfectant pad to gently wipe the wound and then picked a cool ointment to apply before wrapping it with gauze.

"Did Lauren come here this afternoon?” he asked.

Raegan scowled a little, blaming him for the unexpected visitor earlier.

Although he didn't receive an answer, he continued, "What did she say to you?” Raegan forced a smile and replied, "She asked when we would get divorced.” This didn't come as a surprise to Mitchel.

He knew Lauren wanted to be his wife so bad.

“Lauren was a spoiled kid.

She became gravely ill years back and fell into depression.

She hardly cares about people’s feelings.

I advise you to try to avoid her as much as possible.” Depression? Raegan wouldn't call Lauren depressed, and bitchy was the correct word, given Lauren's behavior.

Besides, being depressed was no excuse to treat others like trash.

Raegan ditched her smile and rolled her eyes.

"You know what she wants, Mitchel.

Once our divorce is finalized, I won't see either of you again.

So, why should I avoid her?" Mitchel’s expression became slightly unpleasant.

Raegan ignored it.

“After I get these stitches out, I'll go speak to your mother.
