Chapter 116 No Condoms
Regina dropped her eyes weakly, looking like she had something to say but couldn't.
Douglas was amused by her expression. "Maybe you'll soon find new 'evidence'."
Regina didn't understand what he meant.
Seeing her unhappy, he comforted her, saying, "Just think of 'finding evidence' as 'finding fun.'"
It was like playing one of those hidden object games.
Finding those hidden items could actually be quite an accomplishment, right?
Seeing that he was determined to do this, Regina couldn't say anything more. "Fine, I'll take my time looking."
Maybe one day, she would uncover more treasures!
As that thought occurred, her frustration gradually dispersed.
The sour feeling in her heart inexplicably carried a hint of sweetness.
On the weekend, Douglas decided to take Regina back to his home.
Since Christmas, the two hadn't properly gone back together.
First, because of the incident at the Seasons Hotel, they had not been on speaking terms for a while. They didn't even live together, let alone go back to Douglas's home. Then, Douglas was busy, often traveling across countries and leaving him with very little time.
Leo had been nagging about it a lot recently.
If they didn't go back together soon, Douglas's family might think their relationship had broken down again.
When Douglas and Regina arrived home, it was already one in the afternoon, and the family had prepared lunch waiting for them.
Leo frowned disapprovingly and quietly scolded Douglas, "I thought you usually had a good sense of time. What's going on today? Why did it take you so long? I think you didn't want to bring Regina back, did you?"
Douglas raised an eyebrow nonchalantly. "We got up late today. Didn't I call you around ten in the morning to tell you not to wait for us for lunch?"
Leo, nearly eighty, was still very robust, going to bed early and rising early, and could still walk around the garden twice in the morning.
So, upon hearing Douglas say they got up late, he frowned slightly.
He didn't want to interfere, but he felt that sleeping in so late was very unlike Douglas.
Douglas casually explained, "Regina was tired last night and couldn't get up this morning. What's wrong with sleeping a bit more?"
"What did you do last night to make her so tired?" Leo asked without thinking.
However, as soon as he asked, he saw Douglas's lazy and satisfied look and realized what he meant, his eyebrows furrowing deeply.
"Hey, you rascal..."
"What did I do?"
"Quite good, huh!"
"If you keep this up, I'll have a great-grandchild soon, won't I?"
Douglas didn't promise anything along his words.
Despite having sex, having a child was not on the agenda.
Every time, Douglas took precautions.
In the dining room, besides Leo, there were Douglas's parents, Nicole, and Douglas's little niece Nancy.
"Here, Regina, eat more."
Leo instructed the servant to serve Regina some soup. Regina accepted the kindness but felt she was about to burst.
If she left too much food on her plate, she would feel embarrassed, so she kept eating.
Douglas was amused by her and smiled.
Knowing her predicament, he took the bowl of soup in front of her and drank it all, not caring if she had drunk from it.
"Uncle, Aunt Regina, can you take me out to play this weekend?" Nancy asked, her mouth full, in her sweet childlike voice.
Douglas looked down at Nancy, who was wearing a bow headband, and asked, "Where are your parents?"
"Mom and Dad went out to play."
Douglas squinted his eyes. "So, they want me to babysit, huh?"
Nancy looked at Douglas, confused. "I'll be good."
Leo liked Nancy very much and was displeased with Douglas's tone. "You have free time this weekend anyway. What's wrong with helping your brother take care of his child? It's good practice, and besides, Nancy loves spending time with Regina."
Regina nodded and quickly agreed, "Okay, Mr. Leo Semona."
She liked Nancy very much too.
Nancy clung to Regina all day and even wanted to sleep in the same bed with her at night, so Douglas had to sleep in the guest room.
Nancy curled up in Regina's arms, sniffing. "Auntie Regina, you smell so good."
Regina patted Nancy's head, her eyes full of affection and love. "You smell good too."
"Auntie Regina, can I stop calling you Auntie Regina?"
Regina was surprised, "What do you want to call me then?"
"Can I just call you Regina?" Nancy asked.
"Why?"
"Because I feel like you're my friend."
Regina smiled. "Okay, you can call me Regina from now on."
"Yay!" Nancy hugged Regina's neck and kissed her on the cheek.
Maybe because Nancy was so cute, the thought of wanting a child flashed through Regina's mind.
The thought came so suddenly that it felt like a bolt of lightning in her head!
She stared blankly at the chandelier above.
The gentle light made her feel a bit dazed.
Regina felt that everything she had experienced in the past six months was like a dream.
At one in the morning, Regina's head suddenly ached. Seeing Nancy asleep, she quietly got up to find some medicine, but there was no water in the room.
She had to go downstairs to get some.
She went to the dining room, poured a glass of warm water, and took the pills.
Her mind suddenly cleared a bit.
She took a moment to gather herself and was about to go back to the room when she heard steady footsteps behind her.
She turned around to see Douglas, in a black bathrobe, walking towards her. "Nancy asleep?"
Regina softly replied, "Yes."
He called her in a low, husky voice, filled with desire, making her heart race. "So, is the rest of the night mine?"
Regina replied even more softly, "Yes."
Douglas took her back to the guest room.
The intense pleasure tugged at every nerve in Regina's body, and she quickly got into it.
After getting used to making love with him, she found herself actually addicted to the feeling.
Douglas couldn't wait any longer.
But when he instinctively opened the drawer by the bed, he realized this wasn't their house, and there were no condoms in the nightstand.
Plus, Regina wasn't in her safe period.
Without thinking, Douglas stopped.
He kissed her on the temple and laughed helplessly. "Forget it."
Despite hs strong desire, he was also very restrained.
Just as he was about to pull away from her, Regina grabbed his strong arm.
Her face flushed, she looked at him, dazed, and said, "We can do it without a condom."
