The Kiss That Sparked it All Chapter 2865

Chapter 2865

He continued, “I’m actually helping you out here, so don’t bite the hand that feeds

you. Just look at him. If he had even the slightest bit of affection for you, he wouldn’t have said stuff like ‘don’t get your hopes up for anything else.’

You just wait. Forget about a fancy wedding. If he pulls together a marriage certificate to announce that you’re the new daughter-in-law of the Harris family, you should count your blessings. So, don’t get all hot under the collar with me here.”

Regina was so furious that she burst out laughing, “The whole marriage deal was us strong-arming the Harris family into it from the get-go. No wedding? That’s a given, isn’t it?

I’m not his cup of tea, so why the heck would he throw a wedding for me? And drop the whole certificate thing, will you? I don’t even know how to face him now. All this mess? Thanks to you, Dad. You’re a real peach.”

Regina slumped into the chair and seemed so defeated. She truly had no clue where her life was headed anymore.

Since leaving the hospital, it all seemed like a bad dream in which not a single session was her wishful one.

She had finally snagged the evidence she thought would clear the air with Nolan and erase the chaos between them, but it turned out to be a wild goose chase.

Or maybe she should never have met him in the first place?

Gazing out the window, Regina sighed. To Nolan, never having met her would’ve been the best scenario. She wondered if he regretted it now.

The wedding was hastily set, and within days, Nolan had unilaterally asked Regina for her personal details.

Regina, knowing she was at fault, always tiptoed around Nolan afterward. Unsure wh needed her details, she decided to call and ask. Even though she knew he didn’t want hear her voice, this was her only shot at any interaction with him.

“Hello?”

Nolan could feel her carefulness even through the phone. If only she knew then what she knows now, he mused.

“What do you want?” he asked.

Regina perked up; she hadn’t expected Nolan to actually take her call.

“Well, it’s about the personal info you asked for. I’m not sure what to include. What’s it for, exactly?”

Nolan’s reply was icy, “What are you implying? You think I’m going to use your details for some shady deal? Don’t worry, I’m not that desperate.”

Regina shook her head so furiously before realizing he couldn’t see her.

“No, no, I never thought that. I just don’t want to leave anything out. Like, do you need my Social Security number or anything else?”

“Let’s not bother each other with trifles in the future. I’ll give you Lucy’s number; she’ll coordinate with you.” With those words, he hung up, leaving Regina’s response stuck in her throat.

She forced a weak smile. She deserved this after what her father had done.

After sending the information, the two of them never spoke again. It wasn’t until a week later that Lucy handed Regina the marriage certificate.

Regina took the certificate with disbelief, even recoiling at the touch.

“Ms. Tanner, this is your marriage certificate with the CEO. Please keep it safe.”
