The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 2928

Was Francis still considering Regina his flesh and blood, or were his latter years now pinned on the unborn child in Imogen's womb, whose gender was yet to be revealed?

Nolan didn't bother with small talk. He pulled up a chair and sat down, decisively ensuring the Tanner household was now tightly sealed. Not even a fly could escape.

Francis, visibly annoyed, dropped his fork. "What's this about? Shouldn't you be putting more energy into finding your wife? What business do you have barging into my house?"

He was still holding a grudge against Nolan for hanging up on him twice before.

Meanwhile, Madeline couldn't help but avert her gaze upon locking eyes with Nolan.

Imogen instinctively held her belly tighter.

Nolan's suspicions were confirmed upon seeing Madeline's guilty eyes. Every time he had visited the Tanner Mansion for a meal before, Madeline was always glued to him, not wanting to miss a second. She was scared now, and he wanted to know how many people were involved in this.

He didn't even spare Regina's biological father from his list of suspects. He didn't trust the man one bit.

"Even the strongest guardian angel can't protect her if someone's out to harm her. I just need a straight answer from you — Regina will come back safe and sound."

Francis, not a fool, realized something was amiss from Nolan's pressing questions.

He slammed his hand on the table, standing up. "Madeline, don't tell me you're involved in this!"

Madeline, with a face full of horror, looked up and began to defend herself, "Dad, what are you saying? How could you doubt me like this, even if you don't trust me? How could I possibly be involved in this?"
