Love Unbreakable

Chapter 16

Drama Queen The shop assistant's hand flew to her mouth as her eyes widened in surprise.

She then eyed Lauren.

The nerve of side chicks these days! This woman was holding someone else's husband, yet she was so rude to the real wife.

How shameless of her! Lauren's face turned pale with embarrassment when she saw the look the shop assistant was giving her now.

"You!" "What? Did I say anything wrong?” With regal grace, Raegan walked to the rest area and sat down.

She then added, "If you have got anything to say, just say it.” The VIP lounge of the jewelry store was very private.

The shop assistant left them alone after serving two cups of coffee.

Suppressing her anger, Lauren sat down again.

She set the gift bag on the table and said softly, “Guess what gift Mitchel got me?” "Your attempt is to show off what my husband spoils you? If so, I'm not interested.” The word "husband" made Lauren's face a little cold.

But the next second, she smiled again.

She took out a red velvet box from the gift bag and placed it on the table.

"Stop acting nonchalant, Raegan.

Are you sure you don't want to see the ring he bought me?” Lauren asked, folding her hands on her knees.

Raegan was stunned and couldn't believe it.

Was the gift Mitchel gave Lauren a ring? Despite the lack of response, Lauren took out the ring and put it on gently.

She then raised her hand and shook her fingers.

“Isn't it so beautiful?” The diamond glistened under the dazzling light.

It was inlaid with a very rare blue diamond.

Raegan had once heard that such a diamond was called Blue Tears, which was priceless.

Raegan's knuckles turned white as she clutched the shopping bag in her hand.

The fingernails on her other hand sank into her palm and it began to bleed a little.

However, she didn't feel any pain.

Calm down, Raegan! She told herself, expelling a breath slowly.

It was a trap.

Lauren must want her to fly off the handle so she would be painted as the hostile one.

Yet, no matter how hard she tried to stay calm, there was still a boulder in her gut.

She couldn't breathe properly.

Lauren smiled sweetly and said, “I think Mitchel bought this diamond ring because he wants to propose to me.

He asked you to wait here because he wants you to witness our happy moment.

Oh, I can't wait! Do you know that he flew to Swynborough many times in the past two years just to see me? I was so stupid to have let such a good man go.

Now, I'll make it up to him for the lost time.

We are going to live happily ever after." Lauren had dreamy eyes as she remarked.

She continued, “If I hadn't gone abroad in a fit of pique, how would Mitchel have married someone else on a whim just to please his grandfather? I know he only did that to get back at me.

Now that I'm not feeling well, he’s so worried about me.” "That's impossible!" Raegan blurted out with a pale face.

Raegan found it hard to believe that her two-year marriage to Mitchel happened just because he wanted to get back at Lauren.

If it was true, what did that make her? A pawn in their game? Raegan refused to believe it.

Her hands kept shaking, and even her body couldn't help trembling.

Mitchel told her that he made her his wife because she was the most suitable woman for that title.

It made her feel very special.

She thought they were destined to be together. novelbin

But now, she was learning that it was all fake.

How could that be? An orphan like her was defenseless.

In case of maltreatment, she would have no choice but to suck it up.

Maybe Lauren was telling the truth.

Mitchel must have felt she was the most suitable because he could easily dominate her.

Oh, what a fool she had been! Seeing Raegan’s pale face, Lauren knew was making headway now.

Lauren reached out and held Raegan's hand.

The smile on her face became softer.

"Raegan, I know it's hard to accept the truth, but my conscience has been pricking me for far too long.

I felt that you deserved to know the truth now that you two are getting divorced.” Then, Lauren slid over a bank card and continued sympathetically, "This card contains five million dollars.

It's compensation from me and Mitchel.

1 hope you won't hold a grudge against us and forget everything about the Dixon family.” This was like a slap in the face for Raegan.

Raegan couldn't deny that Lauren defeated her now.

But the game was rigged against her from the onset! Memories came flooding into her mind like a tidal wave of horror.

In the past two years, Mitchel went on several business trips to Swynborough.

He spent many days on each occasion.

No matter how hard she begged, he refused to take her with him.

To make matters worse, he wasn't the one who bought her the wedding ring in her hand.

It was Matteo who handed it to her before she got the marriage certificate.

It appeared Matteo bought the ring on Mitchel’'s orders.

But even so, Raegan had cherished the ring so much that she never took it off even when she was taking a shower.

Now, it dawned on her that she'd gotten the barest minimum.

Her heart was torn into shreds at this moment.

The wound inside her was worse than having her leg crushed by a truck.

Mitchel was so cruel.

Why did he hurt her in this way? Raegan felt suffocated.

Unwilling to listen to any more of this, she leaped to her feet with the shopping bag in her hand.

"Aren't you gonna wait for Mitchel to get back?" Lauren also stood up.

Raegan suppressed the surging pain in her heart and sneered, “Lauren, you have gotten what you wanted.

What else do you want from me?" The smile on Lauren's face froze.

She said with fake innocence, “What do you mean? I only told you the truth because I felt sorry for you.

Why are you making it seem like I'm the problem here?” "What are you so afraid of?” Raegan asked her directly.

She was a little naive, but she was no fool.

It was crystal clear to her that Lauren said all that just to get her to give up her feelings to Mitchel.

But did Lauren have to go to that length? Mitchel clearly didn't love her and that was why she lost the game.

As a result, Raegan didn't understand why Lauren was still feeling insecure.

For a fleeting second, Lauren's face changed, but her calm and confident smile returned like it never left.

Lauren pointed at herself and said, "Me? Afraid? Why would I be? Everyone knows that I am the love of Mitchel’s life.

He might have slept with you a few times, but that doesn't change a thing.

I’m abroad and can't satisfy his sexual desire.

Men always have needs.

I can understand him." Lauren portrayed herself as a warrior who sacrificed for her love as if Raegan had stepped into their relationship.

"Since you are so confident, why are you still trying to push me to anger?” Raegan found this amusing.

With one hand on her hip, she looked at Lauren and asked, "Why are you telling me all this now? Are you trying to exaggerate your place even though you are still nothing but a side chick?" "You!" Lauren pointed at Raegan as her cheeks puffed in anger.

"Let me get this straight.

If you feel cheated, that’s on you.

I never did anything to hurt you.

I do not need your fake kindness nor do I owe you shit!” Raegan's words irritated Lauren to the bone.

Just as Lauren was about to charge at Raegan, she froze.

"Ah!" Lauren screamed.

Somehow, the cup of coffee in front of her spilled on her body and hands.

She looked a mess.

Raegan's eyes narrowed.

This crazy woman was up to no good again! Lauren blinked hard to force out tears.

She looked at Raegan pitifully and said, "I have been nothing but nice to you, Raegan.

I really don't get why you hate me.

But if you want to vent your anger, just hit me.

I promise not to fight back." Suddenly, she held her head and staggered back as if she lost all her strength.

“Lauren!” A tall figure appeared out of nowhere and caught her in the nick of time.

"What happened?" Frowning, Mitchel asked coldly.
