“Are you a man or not? How could you hit your ex-wife?!”Mitchel’s face turned pale. He wanted to approach Raegan and apologize, but Nicole blocked his way.
At the same time, Eloise came out of the restroom. Upon hearing from Nicole that Raegan was Mitchel’s mysterious ex-wife, shestood there, utterly stunned.
She feared Raegan might attempt to rekindle her relationship with Mitchel. It was not impossible, considering Raegan was pretty.Without thinking, Eloise rushed to Nicole and snapped, “How dare you push him! Don’t you have any manners?”
Indignant on Raegan’s behalf, Nicole retorted, “I’d push him again if | could. He’s a jerk!”
Eloise then glared at Raegan and began berating her.
“So, you're Mitchel’s ex-wife. Have you no shame? How could you show up at his office when you're already divorced? Havesome self-respect. Don’t bother Mitchel. Don’t stoop so low.”
The noise around them grew. For a moment, Raegan felt a wave of dizziness.
As the scene before her appeared to recede, Raegan’s memory took over, and she recalled the times Mitchel had done similarthings but with Lauren.

Raegan left him,” Nicole sneered.
Nicole and Eloise’s argument escalated, drawing the attention of everyone around.“Nicole, please, no more fighting,” Raegan interjected. Her voice, though not loud, cut through the heated exchange.

| found it and intended to return it. Please, don’t misunderstand.Not everyone wants to get back with their ex.”
With those words, Raegan grasped Nicole’s hand and walked away, avoiding Mitchel’s gaze.
