The Kiss that Sparked it All (Ellinor and Theo) novel Chapter 2884

Nolan's tone was tinged with impatience, and as Regina listened, she couldn't shake the feeling that he might be mocking her. Her confidence waned, and she no longer dared to speak.

Might as well chalk up all those thoughts to wild imagination, she figured. No need to ask any further.

“Any more questions?” Nolan prodded, sensing her hesitation. When she simply shook her head, he knew she was holding back.

“You look beat. I'll grab you a bottle of water,” he offered, though he couldn't fathom why she seemed so down. He had made it clear that there was nothing between him and Dahlia anymore. What was this woman fretting over?

The source of Regina’s sorrow was deeper, tied to the Tanners. She couldn’t sever her ties with the Tanner family, nor did she possess a straightforward identity to express her fondness for Nolan.

How she longed to return to the past, before their lives became entangled in a web of mutual interests.

Back then, she would have asked without hesitation. Now, she was no longer the candid journalist she once was, her confidence a distant memory.

Regina sat outside for a while before finally buying a bottle of water and heading back. As she returned, she caught sight of Nolan, who had also left his spot, only to resume his seat upon her arrival.

“Where did you go to buy water? Did it have to take so long?” he asked.
