The Kiss that Sparked it All

Chapter 2727
“Mr. Tanner, with the rain pelting down like this, Regina will definitely catch a cold
running out there by herself.”
Francis's tone was stiff, “If she gets sick, it's her own doing. Did I send her out
into the
storm?”
Sensing his resolve weakening, Emma quickly added, “Why not let me go with
Miss Regina to look for it? That painting is like a cherished memory of better
times for her. Sir, it's no wonder she’s so frantic.”
With a heavy sigh, Francis waved a dismissive hand, and Emma hurried out into
the downpour.
It was a lapse on their part, the staff, that they hadn't noticed where the painting
that had hung for over a decade had been discarded. They knew only that it had
been taken down, but not where it had ended up. A real shame, indeed.
Worried to the core, Emma didn't hesitate for a second before dashing into the
rain.
In the end, Regina found her prized painting in a small storage shed next door,
amid a pile of household odds and ends.
There it was, the once immaculate frame now carelessly tossed on the ground,
gathering dust. It was as if only Regina cherished the memories of her family’s
past.
Finally, the dam broke, and Regina began to sob.
“Mom, I miss you so much.”
Regina returned to the Tanner Mansion, a shell of her former self. Throughout it
all, only Emma stood by her, not a single other family member in sight.
Emma, her eyes brimming with pity, dried Regina's drenched hair.
“Miss Regina, what were you thinking? You've been out in the rain, and you've
always been frail. You're bound to be feverish by morning.”
Seeing Regina clutching the painting, her face a blend of tears and rain, not
making at sound, completely shutting out the world, Emma's own tears began to
fall.
“If your mother were here, she wouldn't let you end up in such a state, would
she?”
Indeed, if her mother were still alive, how could she let Regina be treated so
poorly?
Her longing for her mother was palpable, yet in the vastness of the Tanner
Mansion, there seemed to be no room for such sentiments.
Regina had no choice; her defiance in her father's eyes was nothing but a
nuisance. She disrupted the peace of their home.

With great care, she took the painting she had struggled so hard to find back to
her room.
Perhaps only there could it hang without disdain.
But Regina didn’t hang it up again. Instead, she hid it away in the deepest
recesses of her closet. Painted on it was a warm family portrait of her with her
parents-a time of such happiness. She resented the man Francis had become,
unworthy of the painting's past joys.
She couldn't bear to display it any longer.
