On the way back, with light rock music playing in the car, Regina asked, "Why is the fruit on Grandpa's plate so sour?"

The man said frankly: "I picked out the sweet ones."

"......"

Somehow, although she didn't think it was good for him to poke fun at the old Williams like that, she felt sweet.

"You're not afraid that grandpa will find out and beat you up."

The man laughed, "You feel sorry?"

Regina gave him a look and did not respond to his words.

Perhaps Williams also felt that they are not good enough to make such jokes, so he returned to be a gentleman: "Where is your home? I will send you back."

"I ...... just find a hotel and let me down."

"Hmm?" He looked back at her.

Regina explained, "I'm not going back tonight. Antonio is sure to come for me and I feel annoyed."

"Go to my house."

"No, no, I'll just find a random place."

Without another word, the man continued to drive, and ten minutes later they entered a villa area.

Regina gave him a look and felt that Williams was conflicted. He looked quite gentlemanly, but sometimes he was stubborn, like now.

Sometimes he looked quite cold, but occasionally he was also very gentle.

"Here we are. Get off."

"It's not safe for you to stay in a hotel alone. As for your special identity and today's incident, the reporters might find out ......"

"Well, thanks."

Then Regina asked again, "Do you still want me to meet your parents?"

"Actually, I'm a little tired."

He knew what she meant, and he liked her straightforwardness.

"Don't worry. My parents don't live here."

"BesiDyce, I don't live here tonight, so you can sleep here."

Regina froze for a moment, not expecting him to say that, touched by his kindness and thoughtfulness.

When the two reached the door, Williams suddenly remembered that the box of jewelry given by Williams Sr. was still in the car, so he said, "Go in first. Something was left in the car."

"The door lock code is 7395301."　

Williams went back to the garage. When he returned with the box, Regina was still standing at the door.

"Hmm?"

"Is the code wrong? Why don't you go in?"

"You gave me the password. Aren't you afraid I'll burglarize the house?"

The man smiled, "I can give anything you want!"

Regina's heart beat much faster when she heard his words, and had to admit that she liked his appearance and gentleness.

Williams handed the box to her and opened the combination lock himself with his fingerprint.

The decoration inside the villa was arranged in a low-key luxury minimalist style.

"This is the guest room, this is the kitchen, this side is the dining room. If you are hungry, you can find everything in the refrigerator ......"

"This is my private number. Contact me if you need."

"I'll pick you up in the morning."

Regina looked at him to leave, a little embarrassed.

"Mr. Sweet, this is your home, so you don't need to leave for me."

"You stay, I'm sure you're ...... a good person."

Regina blushed. She felt strange that her reply was normal, but as if she wanted to retain him.

"I didn't mean that. I mean ...... we're both adults ...... not ......" Regina was a little anxious.

The man smiled and said naturally, "It just so happens that I have something to discuss with you."

"You sit down first. I'll get a bottle ...... of juice."

"Okay."

He originally wanted to say get a bottle of wine, as there is no reason to use juice to entertain guests, but he was afraid that she thought too much, so he could only say to get juice.

"You just said you had something to discuss with me, then what is it?"

"When do you plan to leave Andong Entertainment?"

After that, he added, "It's useless to follow someone like that."

"I definitely want to leave, but not yet, and anyway, I don't want to pay him a penny for breach of contract."

"And I can't let him use it for free for three years and then leave without collecting the debt he owes."

"Got a plan yet?"

"I have some ideas, but it's going to be a little difficult and needs timing."

The man spoke: "After what happened today, he will certainly use every means to get you to clarify for Abby next, and will even threaten you with a contract."

"Delaying too long will affect your plans. After all, Antonio has no bottom line and will do anything."

"However, I do have a suggestion here that you can refer to."

Regina nodded: "Well, go ahead."

Although she was capable of handling the matter, she would patiently listen to the advice given by others.

The man said, "I heard that Hua Bei Entertainment is preparing to hold a live program called 'The Sound of Heaven'."

"This program is different from the previous music talent shows. This time, instead of unpopular ordinary people, professional singers are invited."

"The program wants to have these solo singers form a team. Such a program is innovative and the program will be very influential."

Regina nodded: "I've also heard about this show, and Antonio is contacting Hua Bei Entertainment to get Abby to participate."

"But with the scandal Abby has been in these past two days, the show wouldn't let her in."

"After all, this show has a huge investment, and the ones invited must be popular singers, or flow stars. They wouldn't consider artists with scandals, ."

Williams shook his head: "I heard that the guests they invited this time, not only popular singers, but also ready to invite some singers who are no longer famous, or even newcomers and trainees."

"What they want is this kind of collision and heat between old and new artists to increase the show's appeal."

"What are you trying to say?"

"I think you and Abby can go on it together."

"Nominally to help her clarify, but actually to let the audience know the truth through the live broadcast."

"After all, the audience is very smart, and then everyone will naturally know how bad her singing ability is and how bad she is."

"The most important thing is that this live show is also a stage for you to show yourself."

"You can let the audience get to know you again, or you can open yourself on stage without having to be anyone's stand-in."

"You are who you are, a unique Regina."

Regina looked at him and was touched. He was the first person to encourage her in so many years.

Williams saw the way she looked at him and suddenly laughed, "Now doesn't that make you think it was a good decision to marry me."

Regina laughed out loud and looked at him again, with a playfulness in her eyes that made his heart flutter.

Ding-dong!

The doorbell suddenly rang, and Regina immediately put away the smile on her face and replaced it with a serious and nervous look to stare at the door.

"Who would come to your house at midnight? It's not like your parents."

"Don't be nervous. They don't know about this place."

At the end, he explained, "I had my assistant send the pajamas."

Regina froze for a moment, as she hadn't even thought about the pajamas, but he had thought of them and had his assistant send them.

The woman looked at his back and wondered what kind of man he really was.

Williams opened the door and was curious as the assistant handed him the bag.

He wondered who Mr. Sweet was preparing pajamas for.

Williams deliberately blocked his view with his body, but the assistant still saw Regina.

Williams closed the door directly and handed the bag to Regina.

"It's late. Take a rest early." After saying that, he added, "This is the makeup and clothes that the assistant picked out. If it doesn't fit, you can tell me about it."

Regina looked at those stuff and was grateful for his thoughtfulness.

"Thank you. It's been too much trouble."

"Not at all. We're a family." The man's tone was natural.

Family?

Regina froze for a moment. What did he mean?

"Thanks." Regina said it again.

Regina locked the door to her room and went into the bathroom.

Suddenly something that looked like a mouse crawled over her feet.

There was a fog in the bathroom, and with her nearsightedness, she couldn't see what it was squirming on the floor. She screamed and rushed out of the bathroom.

The door of the guest room was unlocked. Williams, unaware that she was in the shower, heard her scream and pushed the door in: "What's wrong?"

Regina rushed into his arms and wrapped her whole body around him like an octopus, trembling with fear.

Williams looked at Regina's body, his brain went blank as if it had exploded. He felt hot as if his sanity was put on fire.

The man's voice was hoarse and dry: "Out ...... out what happened?"

Regina pointed to the bathroom with a frightened face: "There's something in the bathroom ......, I don't know if it's a snake or a mouse."

Williams took a look toward the bathroom and opened the door only to find a turtle.

This is the cousin's daughter's pet. She came here last time to play at home and said it fell into the toilet and was washed away by the water. I did not expect it is here.

After making sure there was nothing dangerous inside, Williams grabbed a blanket from the bed to cover the woman and asked, "Do you ...... want to come down first?"

Regina could smell the man's strong testosterone scent and her body became hot.

The woman reacted and tried to push him away immediately, but her body was weak and she couldn't move at all.

"You ...... you carry me to bed, I ...... I'm a little out of breath."

Regina couldn't believe it was her own voice, surprisingly sweet like a moan.

Williams carried her to the bed, with sizzling fingers touching her slim waist, making her feel hot.

Regina immediately hid under the covers.

Williams watched her, a doting smile, then turned into the bathroom.

When he grabbed the little turtle and came out, Regina still maintained her previous scare.

The man's voice rang out, "Don't be afraid. It's a turtle."

"My cousin's child left it behind."

The person under the covers did not respond. Williams smiled, then closed the door.

Early the next morning, as if by agreement, neither man mentioned the embarrassing events of last night.

"Mr. Sweet, just park in front of the gate. My house is there. I guess they are already waiting for me at my house."

The man spoke, "Contact me anytime you need help."

"Okay."

"Also, I'll take last night's suggestion into consideration. Thanks for the advice you gave."

"How?"

Regina froze for a moment. She thought he would be a gentleman and say you're welcome, but she didn't expect him to ask that and she didn't really know how to thank him.

"Uh ...... I'll buy you dinner, okay?"

"OK, wait for you to contact me."

Regina looked at the distant car and felt that she had fallen into Williams' trap and could not yet escape.

When Regina went upstairs and had just pressed the combination lock, the door to her room was opened from the inside.

She knew the person who opened the door was not Dyce, because last night she let Dyce out to stay too, just in case Antonio was looking for her.

The person who opened the door was Abby.

"Regina, where did you go last night? I was worried about you."

Regina glanced at Abby and the man behind her and sneered, "Are you two here to invite me to the wedding?"

Antonio hurriedly explained, "Regina, you misunderstood. Abby and I didn't cheat on you. You can not believe the rumors on the Internet."

"I didn't really want to break up with you when I sent the breakup message yesterday. It was just in response to this incident."

"Regina, you know how much I love you."

Yes, last night Antonio tweeted a thousand-word-long apology.
