Chapter 2878
If Nolan had a girlfriend, Regina“d never let her old man pull a stunt like that. No matter how head over heels she was for the guy, she'd fight tooth and nail against it. You can't just use your own feelings to help the person you're smitten with, can you?
“You're talking nonsense. When were you two ever an item? You're just green with envy because we tied the knot,” she shot back.
“Heh,” Dahlia said, her urgency fading into a smirk, “Why the act? My relationship with him is out there for everyone to see. You just swooped in and stole him away. Be honest with yourself-do you really have a clear conscience?”
After turning away, Dahlia’s tone shifted again, now playing the part of the heartbroken lover.
“You know Nolan, he's such a mama's boy. His folks have been on his back to settle down, and I bet he rushed into marrying you just to save face in front of the family. But he promised, didn't he? That after the holidays, we'd take a trip to Paris and elope?
If it wasn't for his family pressure, he'd never in a million years marry someone like you. Could you, I don't know, maybe let us be? Once we're married, I swear I'll make it up to you. Please, I'm begging you, just let us go.”

She despised those who meddled in others’ relationships-how could she allow herself become the other woman?
Fortunately, Nolan arrived not long after.
As soon as she saw Nolan, Dahlia stopped her theatrics. Quickly releasing Regina’s hand, she stood to the side, wiping away her tears.
Nolan headed straight for Regina, taking her hand gently to check for any injuries.
Regina, feeling shy, withdrew her hand.
“Are you hurt?” Nolan asked, concern in his eyes.
Regina smiled briefly and shook her head. “I'm fine. Why don't you check on Dahlia? She

seems to have some misconceptions about us. If there's truth to what she's saying, I'll head to the city hall and file for divorce right now. I won't force you to marry me. I'll try my best to handle things with my dad.”
Hearing her say this, Nolan's temper flared.
“If you could really persuade your father, would we even be having this conversation? Don't bite off more than you can chew. I'll handle things with Dahlia on my own. You don't need to stick your nose in it.”
With that, he dropped Regina's hand. She hugged her arms, confused by his sudden change in attitude. Wasn't he the one who had been reluctant to marry her all along?
