Love Seduction
Chapters 28. Uneasy

Reggie was restless and with every sense of it coming, he chose to keep himself busy by cleaning up Mike's entire apartment. He swept, mopped and cleaned the entire room in the apartment.

Mike puts Reggie in the room next to his room.Reggie is grateful that he does not need to share the room with the man.

It was late and Mike wasn't home yet. He wanted to hear the news of his nona being picked up today from the Sanchez family's place. It was curious to know what the family mansion was like and the people who lived in it.

Reggie opened the refrigerator door, looked inside to see what he could do for dinner. He was never good at cooking. But to just fill the stomach, he can make omelets or sandwiches. Actually he's not hungry .. he's restless, that's all.

Mike walked into the kitchen in a slow voice. He returned and saw his clean and shiny apartment. Mike was sure Reggie was back to cleaning it, not the usual cleaner. Because the results are so different. Everything was neat, Mike's stuff was arranged and even moved, arranged according to the girl's wishes. Mike finds Reggie bowing in front of the open refrigerator door, not knowing what the girl is looking for.

"What do you see?" Mike folded his hands and leaned against the kitchen table. The coat he had opened was covered in the dining chair.

Mike's sudden voice nearby made Reggie jump in shock.

" Mike! You're home yet?" Reggie cringing. How could he not hear the footsteps of the man.

"You're pensive again Regina. This time even in front of the open refrigerator door."

"No. .. I'm looking for ingredients to cook . But I'm confused because I'm not very good at processing food."

"You hungry?" Mike came closer and peeked into the fridge.

"No." Reggie shook his head, "it's just .. what we'll eat if no one cooks anything" Reggie said.

"No cooking, Regina. We'll have dinner at Langton's Mansion anyway." Mike pulled Regina closer in his arms. Hugged the girl and looked down at her black eyes.

"Now tell me what makes you nervous. Amy's gone home without anything. You don't have to worry about it anymore, because Derek's gonna take care of her, Regina."

Reggie shook his head quickly, He took his eyes off the sharp gray eyes probing it with a deep bow.

Mike lifted Reggie's chin so they looked back.

"I can't help you if you don't tell me, Regina."

The girl's headband made Mike take a deep breath. This stubborn girl would not say it even if she was forced to.

"You have nightmares almost every night. I hear you screaming sometimes. There must be a cause .. or do you need counselling? Derek's got the best line of doctors who can help."

Reggie smiled, Mike's attention warmed his heart. Ever since being locked up by Mike and living in the man's apartment, Reggie has given up on insisting on protecting his own. That's not possible. It needs the Langton Clan to take care of it.

Arthur Sky's daughter is the current owner of the Sky family fortune. A very beautiful heir to great wealth. Mr. Arthur once told him that his daughter would be the rightful owner of his entire fortune when he was 21 years old or if he was married. Amy is 19 years old. The treasure hunters will race after the girl. Reggie couldn't possibly take care of him. Especially with the Sanchez family who will now be free to enter the Langton and Sky regions.

Reggie doesn't know, maybe one day he'll even have to suddenly leave Amy. He'll be calm if Derek Langton's guarding and protecting his nona.

Reggie wrapped his arms around Mike's body, leaned his cheek against the man's chest and closed his eyes. He inhaled the man's distinctive fragrance and pecked it in memory.

The sudden hug took Mike by surprise. But he let Reggie do it. Something is really bothering this girl. Otherwise, there was no way he would hug Mike and lean his head like that. It was like finding calm in his arms.

"You're going to have dinner and meet Amy, right? Or I could tell her you're not feeling well, so you don't have to go." Mike suggests, If Reggie takes time to tell something that bothers him, then Mike will wait and will not force it.

Reggie shakes. "I'm going to go. I need to see it."

Reggie then let go of his embrace and smiled.

"I'll go to the room first. You take a shower and rest for a while before we leave. "

Without waiting for Mike to answer, Reggie turned around and left the kitchen. He walked quickly to his room and locked the door, then he jumped on the mattress while hugging a bolster pillow, hiding his face that felt very embarrassed thinking about his behavior earlier.

"Oh my God .. I hugged her like I used to do. What he thinks ...." Reggie whispered under his pillow roll.

Reggie listened carefully. Lucius Sanchez was mentioned by Amy several times. The man who saved her during the accident and guarded her while Derek recuperated from a gunshot wound.

They moved to the lounge, Reggie more silent and repeatedly rubbed his arms. He felt cold and uncomfortable whenever the name Lucius Sanchez was called.

Mike and Derek knew it. Reggie was a little pale and moved uncomfortably.

"You okay? You don't look well." Amy held Reggie's forehead, then both of her arms.

"I'm fine, Miss." Reggie smiled at the worried Amy.

"You've been rubbing your arms since, you're cold? Your dinner was just a little." Amy clasped Reggie's hands together.

Back he scanned Reggie's entire body from head to toe.

"Mike didn't do anything to you ...."

The sudden question made Mike who was just about to gulp his coffee chokes and coughs. Derek chuckled amusedly looking at his right hand as he patted his back.

Reggie finally laughs, Amy can always make him feel better.

"What do you think, you prickly girl. You know I was handed over to him from the very beginning we were caught" said Reggie amusedly.

"Oh .. From now on you will stay with me. Wherever I go, you come with me" Amy said excitedly.

"We can't decide that, Miss. We're prisoners here anyway." Reggie looked at Mike and Derek in turn, wanting to confirm whether their status had changed.

"You're right. Are we still prisoners here, Derek?" amy asked while squinting at Derek who raised his eyebrows at the sharp question.

"Of course not Sweety. If you're a prisoner, then your place is the dungeon of this mansion. Aren't you free to go anywhere now?"

"Well .. You heard, Reggie. We're no longer prisoners." Amy turned to Reggie, who looked at Derek. Judging the seriousness of the man.

"But of course it's still under my control." The words Derek spoke firmly made Amy turn and turn her eyes back towards Derek.

"Why should I be watched?" Amy sizzled her question.

"My phone's right. If we're free, we can go home ...." Reggie wants to know if Derek's gonna let go.

"There's nothing waiting for you in that mansion. The entire Sky family's assets have already fallen into the hands of the Langton family, that includes you." Suddenly Mike made a sound.

"Who said that!? Nonaku has his own rights to the Sky family's wealth. He's the rightful heir who's still alive!" snapped Reggie.

"Not until he's 21 or he's married! Don't forget that!" Mike chimed.

"Yes, right. But while waiting for him to turn 21, can't we stay wherever we like?" deny Reggie again.

Reggie's words made Derek smile.

"Stop arguing! I decided you guys would stay here. With me. In protection. Point." Derek's words are final and that's exactly what Reggie's waiting for. Derek gave his protection to his nonanya.

Mike looked at Reggie's black eyes again. An uneasy feeling ambushed him, the eyes were as if they were not in this room, looking far away as if they were alone.

Reggie's brain is like concocting a plan and Mike can feel any plan it won't involve him in the least. To his surprise, Mike found that feeling to be very disappointed.
