The Kiss that Sparked it All (Ellinor and Theo) novel Chapter 2825

Nolan gave a slight nod, conveying a measured apology, "Sir, can we please talk somewhere else? There are things I'd like to discuss just between the two of us."

Imogen chimed in with a hint of urgency, "Mr. Harris, I don't think this is appropriate. I'm Regina's mother; surely I have the right to know what's going on. When did you start to date our Regina? If you two are together, why haven't you told us? How can you be so irresponsible?"

Before she could finish, her daughter Madeline cut her off. "Mom, can you just zip it? They were just in a room, and it doesn't mean they're an together. Can you let Nolan finish before you start grilling him?

You're driving me crazy!"

Nolan cringed inwardly at Madeline's informal address, but his priority was to clear things up with the concerned father.

"Alright, I'll be asking the questions. You and Madeline just wait here."

Francis strode ahead towards the end of the hotel corridor, with Nolan following a step behind.

"Spill it. What's your explanation?"

"So what you're saying is that you and my daughter... there's nothing between you two? Not even a spark of affection?"

Nolan paused for a moment and then nodded.

"That's right. I came today because we're friends. This whole situation is an accident. I hope you don't hold any misconceptions, Mr. Tanner. If possible, please get Regina to a hospital fast. I don't know what drug she's been given, or how long she can last."
