The Kiss that Sparked it All

Nolan still shuddered when he thought back on it, but Regina soothed him by gently touching his forehead, saying, “I knew you’d come for me, just like you always do. I love you, Nolan.”

Her confession of love wasn’t new; she’d whispered those words during a moment of vulnerability before. But now, fully awake and with a hint of a smile, her declaration seemed to carry even more weight, making Nolan blush.

“I love you too,” he managed to say.

Regina didn’t stay in the hospital for long, quickly returning to the Harris Mansion.

As the elders had predicted, Regina’s health wasn’t in serious jeopardy. Staying in the hospital only seemed to slow her recovery. It was better for her to be home, where she could be looked after properly.

Nolan avoided bringing up Regina’s work, but she took the initiative to resign from New Blossom Press herself. Her current condition wasn’t suited for delving into investigative cases anymore, especially since Nolan had already handed over the evidence to the police. They would handle it from there.

Nolan was pleasantly surprised when he heard the news.

Regina, with a playful smile, asked him, “Don’t you want us to have a chance to enj honeymoon? I’ve been looking forward to it.’

Nolan had hinted at the idea more times than he could count, but Regina hadn’t be to give him a straight answer while she was still employed. Now, free from her job, had all the time in the world to spend with him.

Overjoyed, Nolan scooped Regina up from the couch, spinning her around. “This is wonderful!” He planted a kiss on her cheek, the sound crisp and affectionate. Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

Regina, a bit embarrassed, buried her head in his chest. He always knew how to make heart flutter.

However, Regina never went back to the Tanner Mansion again. She knew her father’s indifference all too well.

After hearing Nolan’s tales, she felt detached; she had always known Francis prioritized his interests above all else.

Learning that Imogen had sent Madeline to stay with Domingo wasn’t shocking, but it was still surprising “She’s schemed within the Tanner family for years. Now that I’m finally free from returning, she wouldn’t let her daughter ruin her plans with the Tanners. Especially since her unborn child is a Tanner heir. She won’t let go easily. But none of this concerns us anymore.”

Regina and Nolan held hands tightly, their noses brushing against each other in an intimate gesture. “Yeah, none of this concerns us anymore.”

Madeline never got to enjoy the stability of the Tanner family life again. Especially Domingo, who ended up behind bars for years, making her life even more difficult.

A year later, Regina gave birth to twins, a delightful surprise that brought endless joy to the family elders, who doted on them constantly.

Nolan named the twins Roundy and Fuller, symbolizing how his life became complete with Regina in it.

Once the twins turned two, Regina returned to her career as a journalist. She loved her profession, and with Nolan’s unwavering support, their family thrived in harmony and prosperity.
