The Kiss that Sparked it All (Ellinor and Theo) novel Chapter 2719

After some digging, it was clear that Nolan had been a paragon of virtue for all these years; he hadn't so much as glanced at another woman.

Dahlia was confident that she had been the queen of his heart throughout all that time.

But whenever Dahlia tried to take their relationship to the next level, Nolan would push her away with an indifferent, almost cruel attitude.

She knew he was trying to punish her, but hadn't enough time passed already?

Another argument ended in exhaustion, and Dahlia, feeling defeated, took a step back and conceded, "Alright, alright, let's just drop it. I know I messed up. I just wanted to cheer you up today, but it turned out to be a big misunderstanding.

Let's not talk about it anymore. I'm heading home. There's a charity event this Sunday. I'll save your usual spot."

Nolan remained silent until Dahlia was about to leave. Then he asked, "That number you left for me last time, was it really seat 008?"

"What?" Dahlia spun around, half expecting Nolan had found out about the mix-up with the staff. She forced a smile. "Why would there be a mistake? I never mess up these little details."

Nolan frowned as he said, "Did your staff get it wrong but didn't tell you? Regina doesn't strike me as someone who would lie about the trivial things."

Dahlia's expression darkened as she asked, "Are you questioning my integrity over a woman you've barely known for a few days? How many times have I reserved a seat for you without issue? Just because she bought a scalped ticket and ended up next to you, you doubt me? Nolan, in all the years you've known me, when have you ever seen me half-hearted about dance?"

Cornered, Nolan could only nod dismissively. "I get it. Now go on home."

He couldn't explain it, but he felt an unaccountable trust in Regina. Perhaps it had something to do with her profession.
