The Kiss that Sparked it All

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.
The only journalist she had recently butted heads with was that slick colleague at
the office.
Regina rested her chin on her hand, pondering. Could it have been him?
In the world of journalism, evidence was key. Regina decided to probe him at the
office.
The man didn't seem bold enough to confront her directly, preferring instead to
engage in

petty subterfuge.
Before confronting her colleague, however, she paid a visit to Ablett.
In the end, Regina arranged for Ablett to stay at Daphne's orphanage, which just
happened to need a security guard. Ablett had the look of a gentle soul, and the
kids there would surely take to him.
Just as she was closing her car door, she saw a gaggle of kids swarm around
him.
He had cleaned up, shaved his beard, and even trimmed his hair dramatically,
shedding the disheveled vagabond appearance for a look of gentle
sophistication.
“Sir, Sir, I wanna play airplanes!”
“Me too, me too!”
“Alright, kids. I will take you all flying, but let's line up nicely, one at a time, okay?"

After playing airplanes with the kids, Ablett noticed Regina quietly observing him.
“Why didn’t you come sooner? Why no heads-up? How long have you been
waiting here?”
