The Kiss that Sparked it All

Chapter 2687

Talon sighed, the exasperation and fondness mingling in his voice,

“You know, Regina, you can be such a hardhead sometimes, always thinking
you'll be a burden to us. But when the chips are down, aren't you always the one
standing solidly by our side? If it weren't for you, I probably wouldn't be here
today.

Sometimes showing a little vulnerability isn't the same as throwing in the towel,
you get that? You're just too stubborn, which is why those two always seem to
get the upper

hand.

And lets face it, your dad is just a regular Joe. Men like him can't resist a damsel
in distress. So, I think you might want to ease up on the strategy a bit.”
Listening to him seriously instruct her on how to handle her stepmother and
stepsister, Regina couldn't help but laugh. “Do you think we're in some kind of
soap opera with all these schemes and betrayals?”

“I'm just saying it's good to be prepared. Learn a thing or two for self-defense,
right?” “Alright, alright, just help me get ready for tonight. Let's tackle this evening
first.”

Regina closed her eyes, weariness seeping through her voice. “I need to catch
some sleep. Didn't get much last night.”

“Sleep away, I've got you covered. I promise you'll outshine those two by a mile!”
As he looked at Regina, who had fallen asleep almost instantly, Talon couldn't
help but sigh. Yet, as his fingers brushed her flawless skin, he felt a twinge of
envy. Despite a sleepless night, not a hint of eye bags — life really wasn't fair!
By the time Regina woke up, Talon had already laid out her outfit for the evening.
“Wow, how long did I sleep? Feels like an age.”

“Just an hour or so. When was the last time you actually had a good rest? One
second, you're talking to me; the next, you're out like a light.”

Regina yawned and was about to slap her cheeks awake when Talon grabbed
her wrists. “Don't be daft; I've just done your makeup. You'll ruin my
masterpiece!”

“Sorry, I'm a bit disoriented from the nap.” She chuckled and flashed him an
apologetic grin.

“Wow, you've really outdone yourself. I can't see a single flaw; I'm glowing!”
“Hmph, only your canvas would allow me full creative license like this.”
Regina's beauty wasn't something Talon could fully capture with mere cosmetics.

“Doing your makeup is always
bittersweet for me. Sweet because

your natural beauty gives me so

much to work with, but oh so bitter
