The Kiss that Sparked it All (Ellinor and Theo) novel Chapter 2894

Francis' gaze lingered in contemplation before he finally withdrew it. "Well, that's good to hear. Don't let me find out you've been in touch with people you shouldn't be," he said with a hint of sternness.

"You're well aware of the lengths I went to when I pulled you out of that place. You promised me, swore on your word, that you'd never look back at the people and events of your past.

I believe I've fulfilled my duties to you and your mother over the years. Haven't I always provided whatever you desired?

And I don't want to hear about the past, especially from you, Regina. Don't think you can do whatever you please just because you're my daughter. You haven't even apologized for the incident earlier. Where did you learn to throw your silverware around like that? Back home, you were always so obedient. How come you've changed so much since marrying into the Harris family? How are you supposed to set a good example for your sister now?"

"Dad, are you getting senile? Since when do I have a sister? Don't tell me you've gone and treated someone else's daughter as your own flesh and blood. Am I expected to look after not only the child in her belly but someone else's daughter, too?"

"Sis, I know it's all my fault. I shouldn't have dawdled upstairs and upset you. It's all on me. Please, don't push Dad any further. I'm more than grateful to be living here with the Tanner family. How could I dare hope for your care in the future? I promise I won't cause any trouble for the Harris family.

That's your husband's family. We could never show our faces if we embarrassed you in front of my brother-in-law."
