The Kiss that Sparked it All (Ellinor and Theo) novel Chapter 2935

Imogen sat quietly to the side, tears streaming down her face, making no attempt to defend herself.

Only Madeline was trying futilely to explain, but no matter what she said, Francis wouldn't believe her. He had trusted Imogen and Madeline time and again in the past, but now he realized he had been gravely mistaken.

Regina had always been so understanding and well-behaved. Yet, it seemed that ever since Imogen and her daughter arrived, Regina had turned sly, constantly competing for his attention.

Now, he understood that Regina was only trying to get more attention, even just wanting fair treatment alongside Madeline.

But he had never seen it that way before, thinking instead that, as the older one, Regina should be the one to make concessions.

"If you're so fond of your biological father, then from now on, you can go live with him. Don't come back to the Tanner household. As for your mother, she's carrying a Tanner child, so of course, she can't reunite with her ex-husband."

Madeline, still tied to her chair, her tears not yet dry, asked in disbelief, "Dad, what do you mean? Are you really kicking me out of the Tanner family?"

Francis cut her off coldly, "You're not my daughter, so stop calling me 'dad.'"

Imogen had already accepted this outcome. She said, "Francis, even if you don't believe me, when the baby is born, it will prove that I had no intention of getting back with that man. You know how much he tormented me. I finally escaped that nightmare; why would I ever go back?"
