The Kiss that Sparked it All (Ellinor and Theo) novel Chapter 2739

Nolan’s number had been the desire of many, but when it finally landed in Regina's hand, it felt as heavy as a sack of gold coins.

Regina hesitated, her voice caught in her throat.

Nolan picked up his phone and, seeing the unknown number, asked, "Spam call?"

His tone suggested he was on the brink of hanging up.

Panic surged through Regina, and she blurted out, "Don't hang up! It's me!"

Recognition dawned on Nolan, and his lips curled into an intrigued smile as he leaned back in his office chair. "Ah, Regina, to what do I owe the pleasure?"

Nolan's voice, poured through the phone, seemed to set Regina's cheeks ablaze.

"I—I wanted to ask you something. I hope it's not too forward."

"If you think it's forward, then maybe you shouldn't ask, right? Simple."

Regina's heart raced with urgency, fearing he might just end the call, but Nolan didn't hang up. He seemed to be enjoying this little game of cat and mouse.

"But it's something I need to ask."
