Love Unbreakable

Chapter 104

Come Home With Me Just as Raegan was about to call Mitchel for the third time, she hesitated and chose to send a text instead.

"Honey, are you free right now?" She rarely used that endearment, but Mitchel liked it whenever she called him that.

Feeling buoyed by their candid conversation last night, Raegan figured being a little sweet would not hurt.

She imagined Mitchel might be tied up with work but would smile when he saw her message.

Nearly half an hour had passed since she sent the text.

Still, no response came.

Raegan found herself glancing at her phone more often than she would like to admit.

It was like having a rock in her shoe, and her focus kept drifting back to her phone.

At last, her phone buzzed.

She eagerly checked, only to find a message from Nicole, asking if she wanted to hit the town for drinks.

Figuring a night out was better than stewing in her own thoughts, Raegan agreed.

Without further ado, she asked the driver to drive her to their agreed-upon destination.

Nicole and Raegan decided to meet up at South River Club, a swanky venue known for its blend of caffeine and nightlife.

Once inside, they opted for a small, private room.

While one sipped juice, the other indulged in wine.

Nicole had been having a relatively peaceful time for the past two weeks.

Because of the death of the grandfather of Jarrod's fiancée, Jarrod's wedding had to be postponed for three months.

Jarrod was wrapped up in comforting his grief- stricken fiancée, leaving him with no time to stir the pot with Nicole.

In the last two weeks, Nicole had other reasons to be happy as well.

Her dad was on the mend, and her family business had weathered its roughest patch.

Sure, they were still in debt, but things were looking up.

Although her life was getting better, Nicole was concerned about Raegan.

"So, how are you doing with Mitchel? I've heard you two are lovey-dovey these days.

Am I going to be a godmother soon or what?" Nicole had been keeping an ear to the ground.

She hadn't heard much about Mitchel and Lauren getting together lately, which led her to think that Lauren was not causing a ruckus anymore.

At the thought of this, Nicole felt like a weight had been lifted off her shoulders.

Her best friend had loved Mitchel for a whole decade, after all.

If things were going well for Raegan, Nicole would be over the moon.

After pondering for a moment, Raegan finally broke the news.

"You're gonna be a godmother soon.” Nicole's eyes widened in shock.

"Wait, you're actually expecting? How far along are you?" "About three months.” "And you kept this from me for that long? What, do you have a new BFF or something?” Nicole feigned indignation.

"No, it's not like that.

1 wanted to make sure things were stable first," Raegan explained.

"And what about Mitchel? How's he taking the news?" Nicole curiously asked, keen to gauge his reaction.

"He..." Raegan recalled the scene last night when Mitchel had lovingly placed his hand on her stomach and asked why their little one had not started moving yet.

"He's ecstatic.” Then, out of nowhere, Nicole burstinto tears.

"Oh my...” "Hey, what's wrong?" Raegan coaxed Nicole.

Nicole enveloped Raegan in a hug and sobbed.

"I'm just so happy you found your happiness.” Nicole believed that at least one of them should lead a happy life.

Tears welled up in Raegan's eyes.

She returned Nicole's tight hug and swore, "You're going to find your happiness, too.

No way you're missing out on that.” "Okay..." Both women let the tears flow for a little while in each other's arms.

Eventually, Nicole stood up and said, "Listen, you're expecting now.

You're practically more precious than a national treasure.

Don't stay up late.

You should go home now." Just as Nicole ushered Raegan out of their chamber, they saw a familiar face in the corridor.

Raegan froze.

Her eyes landed on Matteo who was standing at the entrance of another chamber.

It seemed he was equally stunned when seeing her, but he quickly recovered.

He bowed his head and offered a greeting.
