Love Unbreakable

Chapter 438 A Simple Goodnight

Raegan was about to correct Mitchel but decided it wasn't worth the fuss. She was tired of picking on every little thing he did. "Let's get inside, and I'll make up something else for you."

When Mitchel stepped into the living room, he noticed the table full of dishes, his expression turning grim. It was clear that Raegan had put in some serious preparation for this. Yet, he had disappointed her, which was unforgivable.

Knowing Mitchel hadn't eaten for almost two days, Raegan decided to prepare a comforting dish for him.

After Raegan added the noodles to the pot, she lowered the flame to cook the noodles softer.

The moment the noodles were served, Mitchel devoured them swiftly. He even seemed somewhat eager for more.

Raegan said, "No more for now. Give your stomach some time to digest.

It was late at night, and Raegan didn't want to summon the maid to do the dishes. She tidied up the table and was about to wash the plates.

Right then, Mitchel walked over to the sink and started to do the washing.

His tall stature made the sink look low by comparison, setting up a slightly awkward yet cozy and pleasant vibe.

With everything finished, it seemed like there was nothing else to do. But Mitchel lingered, asking in a gentle tone, "May I check on Janey?"

Raegan agreed and started to remove her apron, accidentally tightening the knot.

Mitchel offered to help, his voice deep. "Allow me.

As Mitchel skillfully untied the knot, his fingers sometimes brushed Raegan's neck, making her shiver slightly.

The way she stood facing the wall while he stood behind her gave off a daring vibe.

Raegan started breathing fast.

"Why are your ears so red?" Mitchel asked with a soft chuckle.

His lazy laughter echoed like the deep notes of a cello, filling every corner and sinking into Raegan's skin. It wasn't just her ears. Her neck was also blushing. "Are you finished?" she asked.

"Yes." Mitchel removed the apron and casually placed it on the kitchen counter.

Raegan found herself at a loss for words.

Mitchel's intense stare, reminiscent of a night creature's, made Raegan's cheeks warm. "You should leave after checking on Janey."

After seeing Janey, Mitchel hesitated at the door, not quite ready to go. "When might I spend the night here?"

Raegan felt her cheeks burn. "Only in your dreams.

With that, she forcefully closed the door.

Outside, Mitchel gazed at the door, feeling a strange sense of satisfaction. He began to feel a hint of hope.

On the way back.

Matteo reported, "Mr. Dixon, the security team just called in.

They've got a lead on the blood-sampling suspect who got away,

"Did they get any information from him?" Mitchel asked.

"No, by the time they located him, he had already been dead in his car for several days."

"Dead?" Mitchel's expression turned serious.

"Yes, after turning the case over to the police and consulting with a known forensic doctor, they determined the cause of death was a cardiac explosive device," Matteo revealed.

Mitchel's expression grew concerned.

Matteo added, "Seems like the implant was done manually, a method we haven't seen around here before. The suspect probably came in disguised and sent from abroad, maybe from the Aurora's Maxwell family. Rumor has it that the Maxwell family have a top-notch squad spread across different countries for secret missions.

Mitchel was puzzled about why those people targeted Raegan. He felt the need to consult Erick to find out if the Foster family had any enemies abroad. With the ability to implant cardiac explosive devices, those people were quite something. If it really was the Maxwell family behind this, then the future troubles could be significant. He could still keep Raegan safe at home, but it would be difficult going overseas.

The more Mitchel pondered, the more his worry deepened, his face weighed down by concern.

"Find out why Raegan is their target!" Mitchel's tone turned cold and serious as he directed, "Arrange two elite guards for Raegan and Janey, and make sure the guards appear only when necessary."

"Got it," Matteo acknowledged.

Over the next few days, Raegan was swamped with work. Whenever Mitchel had a spare moment, he'd drop by her studio himself to bring her meals.

It wasn't long before everyone in Raegan's studio started making a guess about their relationship, causing Raegan a bit of stress. It appeared Mitchel was making a point to be noticed.

Another thing that caught Raegan's attention was Katie hosting a press conference, making it clear that she and Mitchel were only colleagues and nothing more.

But Katie's behavior during the announcement didn't quite convince. She seemed anything but happy.

The press conference hit the headlines, sparking gossip that Katie had been kicked out by the Dixon family, resulting in a big hit to the Dixon Group's reputation.

Raegan realized that Katie seemed to be the only winner of holding this press conference.

However, Raegan didn't give it much thought. Recently, she'd been fully immersed in a "Charity Drive" project. Her mother had always been keen on helping others and was often involved in charity work.

So, representing Crescent and in partnership with the Children's Care Foundation, Raegan launched a charity project. She took this project to heart, not just providing financial support and supplies to children in need but also spending time with them personally.

Today marked the second day of the three-day outreach prógram.

Raegan planned to head back to Ardlens tomorrow.

Being apart from Janey for three days filled Raegan with longing.

Luckily, Mitchel was in Ardlens, dropping by to see Janey after work and even taking Janey for some fun.

Raegan felt thankful for Mitchel. She was comforted knowing Janey wasn't alone during her absence.

During their video call at night, right after Janey finished chatting with Raegan, Mitchel appeared on the screen, his good-looking face sharp and distinct. "Shall I come to pick you up tomorrow?" he asked.

Mitchel was ready to, yet he would like to know what Raegan preferred.

"There's no need. I'll head to the airport with the group on the volunteer bus," Raegan responded, choosing not to draw too much attention to their charitable efforts.

Mitchel nodded, his tone warm and gentle. "I miss you. Do you feel the same?"NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

Caught in Mitchel's intense, hopeful stare, Raegan felt her cheeks heated up. She shifted the conversation and said, "I should get some rest now.

With a touch of sadness in Mitchel's eyes, he said, "Sleep well."

"Goodnight."

After the call ended, Raegan couldn't shake off Mitchel's disappointed expression, making it difficult for her to fall asleep. She tried to force herself to sleep, aware of the busy day ahead.

But just as sleep began to take over, a sudden loud "boom" startled Raegan awake.

Suddenly, the ground started shaking violently.

Raegan, still feeling confused, heard things crashing to the ground.

From outside, a voice cried out, "Run! It's an earthquake!"
