The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 2686

"Talon, you wouldn't hold a grudge against a kid like me, right?"

Talon rolled his eyes so hard they almost got stuck in his head. If it weren't for Daisy giving his hand a light tap, he wouldn't have given those two the time of day.

"Alright, that's enough," Daisy said with a perpetual smile. "If you two are up for a makeover, just wait until I'm done with my hair, and I'll have my personal stylist set you up from head to toe. How does that sound? And don't worry about the cost; it's all on me."

Imogen was over the moon, though she played coy for a bit.

"Oh, how can we accept this? We just had a little misunderstanding; we can't let you foot the bill for us."

Imogen reached out, trying to link arms with her, but Daisy smoothly dodged the gesture, saying, "Don't mention it. It's no big deal. Just sit back and enjoy."

Once the stylist whisked them away, Daisy turned to Talon with a half-hearted scolding, "Look at the mess you've stirred up. If I weren't here, would you really be ready to go toe-to-toe with her?"

"Thanks. With you guys backing me up, what's there to fear?" Talon laughed heartily. Even without Daisy's support, he wasn't afraid to ruffle some feathers in the industry. Besides, his family wasn't exactly short on cash—if they were, he wouldn't have been able to start his own studio so smoothly.

Daisy's gaze then settled on Regina, who was standing nearby. "Regina, do you still remember me?"

Regina smiled sincerely, "How could I forget you, Aunt Daisy?"

"That's my girl. Your mom and I were thick as thieves back in school—we even went to the restroom together. Just remember, if you ever feel slighted at home, come straight to me. Don't let those two bully you. You're the real young miss of the Tanner family, and no one can take that from you. Got it?"

Regina always felt a rush of emotion when she encountered one of her mother's old friends. She wasn't alone in remembering her mother.
