Chapter 39
All I Can Give You Is The Title Of Mrs.
Dixon As Mitchel spoke, his eyes never left Lauren's face.
It was as if he wanted to see through her through her reaction.
Sure enough, a trace of panic crept across Lauren's face when she met his scrutinizing gaze.
Actually, Lauren knew about it from the maids.
She asked Jocelyn to bribe the maids in Mitchel’s house to get some information.
But, of course, this couldn't be known by Mitchel. Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.
"Lauren, what I hate the most are people who lie to me," Mitchel said with a hint of warning when he noticed that Lauren fell silent.
He slowly approached her while staring at her with cold and piercing eyes.
"Mitchel, are you doubting me?" Lauren instantly burst into tears with an aggrieved look.
Tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.
She continued between sobs, "How can I know that? Of course, I'm Just guessing.
After all, you treat Kyler so well.
You wouldn't want to upset him.” Mitchel just looked at Lauren without saying anything.
His face was cold and expressionless.
Judging from his reaction, Lauren Knew that he didn't completely believe her.
She was so angry that she blurted out without thinking, "Mitchel, are you in love with Raegan now? You don't want to divorce her, do you?" Mitchel’s brows furrowed tightly.
He was getting pissed off because this topic had been brought up repeatedly today.
Why did everyone think that way? Had he really fallen in love with Raegan? No, it couldn't be possible.
He wouldn't fall in love with anyone.
Then suddenly, Raegan’s image appeared in his mind.
Her red eyes and the tears that streamed down her face seemed to break his heart apart.
Mitchel didn't want to admit that he had fallen in love with Raegan.
But he also couldn't say out loud that he didn't love her.
Mitchel's silence intensified the anger and desperation in Lauren's heart.
Since he couldn't answer her question, it meant he acquiesced in it.
Lauren was about to question Mitchel again when Jocelyn suddenly came in.
Jocelyn clutched the corner of her clothes and gently shook her head.
Then Jocelyn cried exaggeratedly, "Oh, Miss Murray! Didn't the doctor tell you that you can't get too upset? It's dangerous.
You are risking your life.” Lauren immediately understood Jocelyn's hint.
Echoing Jocelyn's acting, Lauren hugged Jocelyn tightly and cried sadly.
When Mitchel saw Lauren and Jocelyn crying together, his heart softened.
He recalled that Lauren was still a patient.
With that, the arrogance in him instantly vanished.
He said calmly, "Lauren, before you insist on marrying me, think about it carefully first.
From the very beginning, I have made it clear to you that I can only give you the title of Mrs.
Dixon.
Nothing more.
After all, I don't have any feelings for you.
If you ask me, I don't want you to suffer by my side.
I want you to be happy, not to live in resentment.” Mitchel's words came like a bolt from the blue.
Lauren was too shocked to react for a while.
Back then, she took advantage of Mitchel's drunkenness and seduced him.
She did it because she wanted to sleep with him.
But unfortunately, even if she stood naked in front of him, he didn't even look at her.
He explicitly stated that he would never touch her.
Mitchel could treat Lauren well, but he could never touch her.
Lauren's pride couldn't take it.
She was so hurt that she decisively flew abroad the next day.
Lauren thought Mitchel would go after her and appease her.
But she didn't expect that as soon as she left, he suddenly got married.
She was hurt even more.
Now that she had returned, she thought she could take Mitchel back.
But it seemed like history repeated itself.
However, she was determined to firmly hold him this time.
She would never leave him again.
Aside from the title of Mrs.
Dixon, Lauren also wanted to win Mitchel’'s heart.
His heart, body, and soul must belong to her! Lauren saw that Mitchel was about to leave.
She panicked even more.
Then she came up with an idea.
Without hesitation, she dropped her body from the bed.
A loud bang sounded in the ward when her body hit the floor.
As expected, it attracted Mitchel's attention.
He stopped in his tracks and turned around.
But he didn't approach Lauren.
Instead, he looked at the stunned Jocelyn next to him and said sternly, "Why don't you help Miss Murray up yet?" It was only then that Jocelyn stepped forward to help Lauren.
However, Lauren shook off Jocelyn's hand and crawled toward Mitchel.
As Lauren crawled, she cried emotionally, "Mitchel, you know how much love you.
Please don't leave me like this.
My life is meaningless without you.” She continued to drag her powerless legs on the floor toward Mitchel laboriously.
Lauren looked so miserable that anyone who saw her like this would feel sorry for her.
Mitchel's brows furrowed tightly, and his feet moved slightly.
But at this moment, his phone rang.
He pressed the answer button without looking at the screen.
Then Luis’ nonchalant voice came from the other end of the line.
"Mitchel, I've been watching Raegan.
At this moment, eleven men had already tried to approach her.
If you don't want your wife anymore, tell me.
I'll grab her first." The creases on Mitchel’s forehead deepened.
"What are you talking about?” He didn’t understand why Luis suddenly talked about Raegan.
As far as he could remember, he let the driver take her home.
She was supposed to be resting now.
Luis explained, "I'm at Temple Bar.
Your wife is here, too.” Mitchel's beautiful, deep-set eyes darkened at once.
He said coldly, "Keep an eye on her, and don't let others approach her.
Otherwise, I'll shut that bar down." Luis hissed.
“Really? Do you have the heart to shut down your friend's side business? Are you that cruel? I think you're going a bit too far.” Mitchel didn't say anything more.
He hung up the phone, bent down, and picked up Lauren.
Lauren still looked pitiful on the surface.
But deep inside her, she was celebrating her triumph.
She had exerted so much effort in her acting.
She didn't believe Mitchel's heart wouldn't be moved by her miserable appearance.
In the end, he still came and held her up willingly.
Lauren and Mitchel had been getting along for many years.
So Lauren didn't believe that Mitchel had no affection for her.
She assumed he must have developed some feelings for her.
It was Just that he didn't realize it yet.
That was why she would do her best to help him recognize her importance in his heart.
Lauren wrapped her slender arms around Mitchel’s neck and looked at him affectionately with teary eyes, thinking they would finally have an intimate moment this time.
But to her dismay, he only put her down on the bed.
Then, he turned to Jocelyn and said coldly, "If you can’t take care of Miss Murray, you can retire and rest at home now.
I'll find someone capable." There was a hint of instruction and warning in his words.
Jocelyn's heart skipped a beat.
She had been taking care of Lauren all her life.
Although she was just a nanny, she treated Lauren as her own daughter since Lauren was born.
Mitchel was very well aware of this, too.
That was why Mitchel always treated her with respect.
It was the first time that he had said such unkind words to her.
Jocelyn was shocked for a moment, but she quickly recovered.
She replied in a low voice, "Don't worry, Mr.
Dixon.” After hearing this, Mitchel turned around and left.
Lauren's eyes widened upon seeing this.
She was about to get off the bed to follow him when Jocelyn suddenly held her arm.
Jocelyn looked at her, shook her head, and reminded, "Miss Murray, don't wear out Mr.
Dixon's affection for you.” Lauren realized that Jocelyn made sense.
She had no choice but to collapse on the bed.
But tears kept streaming down her face uncontrollably.
She looked up at Jocelyn and said between sobs, "Jocelyn, I’m scared.
What if Mitchel abandons me? What should I do?” Jocelyn patted Lauren on the back and _= said comfortingly, "Miss Murray, Mr.
Dixon didn’t say he wouldn't divorce Raegan.
He just can't divorce her for the time being because of Kyler.
But don't worry.
We have many ways to make them divorce as soon as possible.
The most important thing now is to stay calm and be patient.
Relax.
Mr.
Dixon's affection for you is your leverage.” Jocelyn's words reignited the extinguished fire in Lauren's eyes.
Lauren realized Jocelyn's words made sense.
Mitchel just couldn't divorce Raegan for the time being because of Kyler.
If it weren't for Kyler, Mitchel and Raegan would have divorced long ago.
Her biggest concern now was the baby in Raegan's belly.
Raegan could use it to get a hold of Mitchel.
So, that baby must disappear.
After thinking for a while, Lauren sat up straight, slowly wiped the tears off her face, and returned to being a gentle and generous lady.
She took her phone and opened a document that contained the details of Raegan's schedule.
According to Raegan's schedule, she was in a bar right now.
Lauren remembered Mitchel’s phone conversation just now.
A trace of gloom flashed through her eyes.
Mitchel must have gone to find that bitch Raegan.
Lauren looked at Jocelyn and said, "Tell Tessa that I agree with her investment plan.
AndI want to see her.” Jocelyn nodded.
“All right.
I'll make arrangements." With a plan in mind, Lauren lay down leisurely on the bed and looked at the ceiling with eyes full of malice.
She had to make sure that Raegan and her child died together.
Only in this way could she have Mitchel without any obstacles.
Raegan and Nicole were still in Temple Bar at the moment.
Raegan wore a light beige cardigan paired with an ankle-length skirt.
The style of her outfit was very incompatible with the ambiance of the bar.
But the more she looked different from the others, the more attractive she became.
She was like a little white rabbit that had fallen into a wolf's den, tempting every wolf to take a bite.
At this moment, Nicole was already a little drunk.
She could no longer remember how many advances she had rejected.
She giggled, winked at Raegan, and said, "Raegan, you are something! I think those women who are here to pick up men will go home in tears tonight.
After all, those men have their eyes only on you.” When Nicole saw a man approaching, she gave Raegan a nudge, raised two fingers, and balled her fist.
She meant twenty.
The man coming was the twentieth person who had approached them tonight.
Raegan definitely broke the record! Nicole frequently went to bars to have fun.
Based on her experience, the highest number of men who approached her were only a dozen or so.
Tonight, Raegan broke her record effortlessly.
"Hi, ladies! Can I join you?” The man who approached them wore a shiny jacket and a lewd expression.
"Oh, sorry.
We're with someone." Of course, Nicole immediately refused.
Was this man joking? Why would they share a table with a stranger? However, the man seemed impervious to rejections.
He said, "You're lying.
I've been observing you from afar since you came in.
You are not with someone.”
