The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 2759

Regina grabbed her purse and walked out of the house yet again. Ever since she had come of age, it seemed all she ever did was come and go, like a transient visitor in her own home.

Francis had so much he wanted to say, but as he watched her resolute figure stride away, the words just wouldn't come.

He wanted to tell her he understood her temperament, that if something were truly wrong, she wouldn't be standing there so calmly.

He wanted to tell her that it was precisely because he understood that he didn't ask.

Even from the moment he had appeared on the second floor, he had eyed his daughter carefully. She was standing there alright, so she must be fine.

But to Regina, all these observations just translated into his lack of care.

He sighed heavily, his fingers subconsciously tracing the emerald ring on his ring finger, a keepsake from Regina’s mother Magina.

After all these years, it was the only ring Francis wore. Even when he married Imogen, there was no wedding ceremony. He had given Imogen plenty of jewelry over the years, everything but a ring.

Because the one on his ring finger was enough.

"Magina, am I such a lousy father that I always leave Regina dissatisfied? Teach me, what should I do to raise our daughter right?" he murmured to the memory of his late wife.

Regina had to drive around the block a few times to cool off.

All things aside, her dad was right about one thing: whatever the reason, she needed to make things clear.

Who else would have been there that night, sneaking around?

Regina’s thoughts deepened.

She ruled out the senior members first; they had left the area by mid-afternoon.

Moreover, there was no history between them, let alone a conflict.
