SWNOVELS Chapter 1309
Mitchel did not hide the fact that he had Matteo check on Raegan.
Discovering that she preferred the company of her dog over a visit to him left him disheartened, to the point where he lost his appetite and suffered from acute gastric issues due to the distress.
In a soft voice, Mitchel shared, “Whenever I’m not working at the hospital, my thoughts are filled with you.
”
Raegan’s cheeks turned a warm shade of red.
Mitchel’s ability to weave flattering words with such ease left her both flustered and charmed.
In a heartfelt moment, Mitchel took Raegan’s hand and placed it over his heart, professing, “In here, it’s always been only you.
”
Raegan’s cheeks deepened to the color of a ripe peach at his sudden declaration.
She looked down, attempting to pull her hand back, but he held on firmly, his eyes alight with genuine affection.
“Raegan, let’s give it another try, shall we?”
The intensity of the moment left Raegan’s heart racing.
After a brief pause, she stammered, “No… No.
”
His persistence was clear.
“If you still have feelings for me, why resist?”
Raegan’s mind went blank for a moment, and she blurted out, “My brother would never approve…”
Mitchel’s gaze intensified as he spoke.
“If you’re on board, convincing your brother will be a piece of cake for me.
”
Raegan knew Erick’s stubbornness all too well, a trait Mitchel seemed to underestimate.
Once Erick set his mind on something, he was Like a tree deeply rooted, unmovable.
Her curiosity piqued, Raegan questioned, “And how do you plan to convince my brother?”
Mitchel reassured her with a wave of his hand, “Leave that to me.
The moment he gives his nod, nothing will keep us apart.
”
Caught off guard by his assurance, Raegan protested, “Wait, ‘us being together? I haven’t said yes to anything yet.
”
Mitchel’s confidence didn’t waver.
“I don’t care.
I’ll make sure your brother sees thi
ngs our way,” he declared.
As the night crept upon them, Raegan attempted to retrieve her hand, saying, “It’s getting late.
I should head home.
”
But Mitchel’s grip remained firm, his voice dropping to a whisper.
“Please, don’t go tonight.
Stay with me?”
The memory of Mitchel’s allure that night flashed through Raegan’s mind, his striking figure etched in her memory, stirring a blush on her cheeks at the thought.
The possibility of repeating that night if she stayed crossed her mind.
Absolutely not!
Firmly, Raegan refused, “I can’t stay.
My brother will start looking for me soon.
”
Raegan remembered how her previous lie to Victor had easily unraveled, prompting Erick to tighten his watch over her.
He had taken to video calling her at night, making unexpected checks.
Mitchel, noticing her embarrassment, realized she was recalling their intimate moment the other night.
His resolve to negotiate with Erick grew stronger, understanding that only with Erick’s blessing could they truly be together.
Mitchel hesitated but didn’t want to press Raegan into a corner.
He let out a sigh, a mix of resignation and mischief coloring his tone.
