Chapter 4

This Regina must be an expert in romance to be able to neglect her own child.

"No."

I felt a wave of disgust. It seemed to be so.

"Really?" I felt disdain and contempt.

Regina seemed to have sensed my unfriendly attitude toward her and was somewhat curious. "What's the matter? You seem to have some misunderstandings about me."

I just smiled and remained silent.

My first meeting with Regina after so many years ended without any outcome, but I never expected our fate with each other to continue. One month later, she attended a friend's birthday party too.

"You came too?"

Regina and I stood together waiting for the elevator. She was the first to ask me.

I nodded and said yes.

"Nate?"

I heard a familiar voice and turned around to see Kayla standing there with Andrew beside her.

Andrew's complexion looked much better. He was not as frail as before.

Out of the corner of my eye, I looked at Regina standing next to me. What a chaotic scene this was.

Kayla looked at me nervously. "Who is this?"

Andrew's gaze fell on Regina, his eyes instantly glimmering with affection as he softly greeted her, "Hello, Ms. Summer."

I caught on immediately that they were superior and subordinate. Regina was quite cunning, using her position to sleep with her subordinate and even have a child with him.

Regina showed little expression as she nodded slightly at him and asked without a trace of emotion, "Are you feeling better?"

Andrew nodded hurriedly. "Thank you for your concern, Ms. Summer. I'm feeling much better."

Regina looked away and did not talk anymore.

Kayla and Andrew walked over, standing closer to us.

"Nate, are you alright?" Andrew suddenly asked me, yet his eyes were fixed on Regina.

"Why wouldn't I be?" I felt uncomfortable with his overly familiar form of address, so my tone was displeased.

He looked at me and then at Regina. "You know Ms. Summer too?"

I looked at his arm around Kayla's waist, while his gaze was unabashedly flirting with Regina. Suddenly, a surge of anger welled up inside me. Just then, a pair of delicate hands linked with my arm. I glanced sideways in confusion and saw Regina winking at me.

I immediately wanted to tease Andrew and Kayla, so I pretended to be very intimate with Regina and said with a smile, "We've known each other for almost ten years, haven't we?"

Regina echoed, "Yes, ten years."

Andrew was smiling, but his eyes were filled with hatred for me. He looked indifferently at me and smiled. "Ms. Summer, let me introduce you. This is my fiancée, Kayla Rowan."

'Engaged so soon?' I pondered.

Kayla looked away, ignoring us.

I thought I would be heartbroken, but I was surprisingly calm and completely unfazed.

Regina patted my hand. "The elevator's here."

I nodded. As I stepped into the elevator, I turned around to say to Andrew, "The three hundred thousand dollars I paid was included in the surgery fee your fiancée gave you. Remember to pay it back."

Andrew looked at Regina in a panic.

I sneered inwardly. He was engaged to Kayla, yet he still cared so much about other women's opinions. These two were perfect matches.

I went back after delivering my gift.

Regina was a prominent figure, so it was hard for her to leave once she got in.

As I was heading toward the parking lot, it suddenly started snowing. I rubbed my hands together, feeling a bit cold.

"Why didn't you wait for me?" A familiar voice suddenly rang behind me.

I turned around and saw Regina standing behind me, smiling. She probably had no idea how charming her smile was. Even after all these years, she was still the most eye-catching person in the crowd.
