Chapter 2867


    As Regina stood outside her office building, pondering how she would make her way to Nn’s ce,


    a sleek ck sports car screeched to a halt in front of her.


    She didn’t recognize the car and shifted to the side to give it space, but to her surprise, the car inched


    closer too.


    Feeling frustrated-and already in a sour mood from the past few days-she was not in the mood for


    someone blocked her at the office entrance. She marched up to the driver’s side and rapped on the


    window.


    “Excuse me, sir, you can’t park here,” she said.


    But before she could finish her sentence, she was met with Nn’s icy stare.


    Regina’s words caught in her throat, “I’m sorry, I didn’t realize it was you. I’ve never seen this car


    before; I thought someone was just messing with me.”


    Nn’s eyebrows knitted together in impatience, “Now that you know it’s me, are you nning to get


    in, or do you want to stand there and make a spectacle of yourself?”


    Only then did Regina nce over her shoulder and notice the luxury car was already drawing attention


    at the office entrance. Her little scene had sparked a flurry of whispers among a few colleagues.


    Making yet another blunder in front of him, Regina quickly got into the car, clutching the seat belt as


    they sat in an awkward silence.


    She didn’t know what to say to ease the tension, even though they were a newly wedded couple, at


    least on paper. But right now, they felt colder than when they were mere acquaintances.


    “Um-”


    “Later when we-‘


    They both started to speak simultaneously, and Regina hurriedly deferred, “Please, you go first.”


    After a brief pause, Nn continued, “When we get home, I expect you to y the part of a wife. I also


    want you to treat my family with respect as if they were your own.’

    “What do you mean by that?” Regina was puzzled. Surely Nn’s family knew about their


    arrangement? Wouldn’t it be more objectionable for her to keep up a facade in front of them?


    “I told them I agreed to this marriage because of my feelings for you. They believe we’re in love, which


    means this whole marriage pressure is only rted to your father and not you. Even if it’s a pretense, I


    just want to keep my family at ease. Do you understand?”


    I understand, and I can do it. Rest assured, I’ll treat those elders with all the respect of my own.


    Consider it the least I can do to make up for all this,” Regina said softly, aware of her debt to Nn.


    After a long pause, she finally mustered the courage to ask, “Did my father borrow arge sum of


    money from your family?”


    Nn let out a scoff at her question, and Regina’s cheeks burned with embarrassment. She phrased it


    as ‘borrow’? It was an action of feigning innocence, he thought.


    “What? Do you n to pay him back yourself?” he asked.


    Regina nodded so earnestly, “I know this marriage wasn’t your choice, and your family isn’t obligated to


    support the Tanner Group. So, consider the debt noted as mine. I’m thinking about finding a new job or


    maybe even trying my hand in show business. You know, actresses can make a killing.”
