Chapter 2868


    “And I’m not sure when I’ll pay this clean if I continue my job as a journalist.” Reginaughed ruefully,


    but Nn’s brow furrowed in annoyance, “What, did I force you to change jobs? I never asked you to


    repay me. The leaked video has already tarnished my reputation enough. Do you want people to think I


    mistreat my wife too?”


    Regina shook her head vigorously, “Of course not. It’s just that, well, there’s no such thing as a free


    lunch. I don’t want my dad to think the Harris family is some sort of cash cow for the Tanners. It’s better


    to keep things clear and separate in case he borrows from you. again.”


    For some reason, Regina’s cheeks flushed when Nn said the word “wife”, even though their


    rtionship was so strained.


    The rest of the drive passed in silence, with only Regina’s flushed face to signal the tension as they


    arrived at the Harris estate.


    Regina knew Nn was wealthy, but the sight of the opulent manor still took her breath away. It


    dwarfed her family’s sizable home, making it seem like a modest guesthouse byparison.


    No wonder Nn had kept the information about the Harris family so well-hidden.


    As they got out of the car, Nn frowned briefly before catching up to stand beside her. “Remember


    what I told you in the car,” he reminded her.


    Regina suddenly realized her faux pas, “Sorry, I’m just not used to this whole meeting your dad and


    mom thing.”


    She carefully looped her arm through Nn’s, If you don’t like it, I could just cling to the hem of your


    shirt. You said we should act like a couple madly in love, so I figured it wouldn’t be ice-cold indifference,


    right?”

    To her surprise, Nn took her hand firmly in his, “Can you try to act a bit more natural? You look like


    I’m dragging you along against your will. How could my family not notice something’s off?”


    “Right,” she murmured. His palm was just as wide and strong as Regina imagined it would be while it


    was wrapping her whole hand in.


    Nn was thinking the same thing: how could her hand be so small, and how could it be soft as as a


    snowke?


    As they approached the entrance, Regina’s face was still flushed.


    Inside, Palmer, Aline, as well as Nn’s grandparents were already waiting-a sign of the importance


    they ced on this first visit from their new daughter-inw, as the whole family had gathered to greet


    them.


    Regina was taken aback by the grand reception and felt it improper to keep the elders waiting at the


    door. In a rush of urgency, she tugged at Nn, “Let’s hurry. We shouldn’t make them stand out here in


    the breeze.”


    Nn’s gaze darkened as she pulled his hand,


    Wouldn’t it be wonderful if things between them could always be this simple and pure?


    “Well, Nn’s back!” Aline eximed with a soft voice. After all, it was their first time meeting Regina,


    so it felt a tad awkward. Nn had never brought a girl home before.


    But Regina was more outgoing than they had anticipated while she was greeting them actively, “Hello


    everyone. It was such short notice today, so I didn’t bring anything with me,” she said, turning to shoot


    Nn a yful, reproachful look as if to me him for not arranging everything in advance. Her


    gesture made Aline smile, easing the atmosphere and allowing everyone to rx.


    “Now that you two are married, soing here is just like returning to your own home. There’s no need


    to bring anything,” Aline assured her with a weing smile.
