StarNovelChapter 2830 “I swear, Imogen, if I'd known you were at the hospital, | wouldn't have dragged you into this mess. It could have been a scandal, and there is no need for the whole world to know about it.” Imogen turned away, feigning anger, and silently wiped away a tear. “Would you believeif | said it? It's so easy to find out the truth, yet you makeexplain it over and over. In the end, you just don't trust me.
Of course, no one can be as important as your daughter in your heart.
Yes, | get it. It's a matter of the Tanners, and how dare | meddle, right? But I've been a stepmom for years now, don't | have the right to care about Regina? Mr. Tanner, if you can’t even grantthat much, then I've got nothing more to say.” “Con now, please. I've never said such a thing. Aren't you just throwing a fit here? It's just... when | saw Regina in disarray, in the sroom as another man, it hithard as a father. You've got to understand that...” He let out a deep sigh. “Ever since her mother passed, I've been under so much pressure. I've been so afraid that | wouldn't raise her right. And now that she’s grown, she’s gotten herself into trouble.” Hearing this softened Imogen’s heart, and she gently smoothed the lines of worry from his forehead. “I know how tough it's been for you, and | understand why you marriedBut now that we're together, | don’t want you stressing over these things.

Regina is an adult, and her choices are her own. We can guide her, but we can’t control decisions, you see? Francis, it's tto let go.” Francis nodded thoughtfully. “I know, but how can a parent easily let go, especially since Regina is different from others. She lost her mother so young. You suggested we settle her down soon, but after giving it sthought, maybe she should stay witha little longer.” Imogen panicked at his words, calming herself before responding, “Francis, you're always looking at it from a man’s perspective.
Have you considered that Regina might not want to stay hthat long? She moved out a while ago; she’s been very independent. You can’t just keep her at hbecause you want to.
In my opinion, it's better to let her find a man she loves and settle down sooner rather than later. Of course, that's just my take. If you really want to keep her close, | won't object.” Francis was easily swayed, and Imogen’s words made him wonder if he should indeed consider Regina's wishes.
Seeing Nolan with Regina today had, in truth, been a relief. That was Nolan Harris after all. If his daughter could land a catch like that, it would bode well for the Tanners — their own group would have a smoother path with the Harris Group on their side. But he didn’t expect that Nolan would deny. His anger flared at the denial, which he took as a disdain for the Tanners.
“It wouldn't be so bad if Regina could really end up with Nolan.” Francis mused, more to himself.
Imogen tensed at his words. “They have already said they're just friends. Are you going to push them together against their will? Young people these days value love that's free.”
