Regina immediately sat up, clutching the blanket tightly. She avoided eye contact with Henry. "Do you have no shame saying such inappropriate things?"Henry chuckled softly, sitting up beside his wife. "Inappropriate? Were you thinking that we would... I mean, not that, but if you're up for it, then—"Regina turned to Henry. "No, I don't want it. Stop teasing me, I'm really tired today."Henry got out of bed. "I've ordered a special drink for you. I'll have them bring it up.""You didn't order wine or any other alcohol, did you? I don't feel like drinking," said Regina."No, it's not alcohol."Henry chatted with someone on the phone to order room service. Regina could hear him clearly."Why did you ask for it to be delivered there?""We can't possibly talk in the dark like this. Something else might happen if we stay here." Henry stepped towards the door.***Regina sat on the couch, sipping the warm drink ordered by Henry. "What is this drink? It tastes strange, but it makes me feel

Regina and Henry arrived at the hotel. Kevin was thrilled to hear what Henry had to say. "So, is Mom really coming with us? Isn't she tired from work?" Kevin's excitement was tinged with concern.Regina smiled, "It's fine. Spending time with you is like a break for me."Henry grabbed an extra coat and put it on Kevin. "Dad, this is too much. It's uncomfortable.""You need to wear it. It's really cold out. What if you get sick and can't go to school? You'll be stuck at home all alone. You don't want that, do you?"Kevin pouted but didn't argue, letting Henry help him with the coat. Henry turned to Regina. "You too. Make sure you wear something warm. You're not exactly robust.""I know. I'll grab something from my room and get ready. Let's meet in the lobby in 20 minutes.""20 minutes is too long. How about 10?" Henry suggested."Alright." Regina didn't feel like arguing.***In her room, Regina grabbed her coat. A vibration from her bag caught her attention. Seeing the caller ID, her f

"Are you discussing my promise to treat you to a meal? Aren't you back in the capital now? I'll contact you when I—" "No. It's not about that," the man interjected quickly."Then, is this about Kevin? Did something happen to Kevin at school?""No. Actually, I wanted us to talk about business. A friend told me you're looking for a partner to collaborate with. I have the skills you need."Regina paused for a moment. "But aren't you a teacher?""Actually, that's not my main job. I work in a company. What if we discuss the details in person? Coincidentally, I'm still in town A.""Alright. Can I choose the location and we meet later for lunch?""Okay, Send me a message when you've chosen the place. See you later," Evan concluded the call.Regina sent a message asking her secretary to make a reservation."Regina Tan, are you going to waste money again by booking reservations for personal matters? Just do it yourself."Regina replied irritably. "This is for business purposes, I'm meeting so

Kevin shook his head gently, "That's not it, sorry, I didn't mean to say that about you, Mom. Please don't be mad."Regina looked at Kevin with regret. "Kevin, forgive me for yelling at you. I just felt more emotional because of the argument earlier...""Yeah, Mom. I get it. You're not like that anymore, unlike before."Regina gently stroked Kevin's head. "Are you talking about the first time we met or do you have another mother before me?"Kevin tightly sealed his lips, his actions always like this, every time it was mentioned. Regina felt curious, but until when should she wait for this child to speak? Regina asked people to investigate Kevin's background, but found nothing."Mom, why are you and Dad fighting again? Dad seems even angrier than usual this time," Kevin asked, changing the subject."Kevin, no need to think about adult problems. Have you eaten? Want to go to a restaurant?"Kevin shook his head. "You must be tired, Mom. Let's just go to home. If I get hungry, we can order

"CEO Tan, I'm sorry, but you cannot meet with our company's CEO without scheduling an appointment, and our CEO has stated that they have declined a meeting with your company," the receptionist conveyed politely.Regina stared at the receptionist with a sharp gaze. "Please inform your company's CEO that Regina Grace Tan will not give up so easily. I am willing to wait here until they give me the opportunity to speak.""CEO Tan, please don't make our job difficult. The CEO will not appreciate your overly assertive attitude like this. Could you please just go back?" The receptionist urged."Didn't you hear what I said? I will wait here until your CEO arrives!" Regina asserted."CEO Tan, it turns out you are more uncivilized than I thought."Regina turned to an older man. "CEO Jung, I apologize for the inconvenience, but allow me to speak with you about the project." Regina approached."It seems I have spoken clearly enough not to discuss this,
