The Kiss that Sparked it All

Chapter 808

Chapter 808

Upon hearing a noise, Balfour turned his head towards one of the two rooms that he had deemed off-limits in the

Howard household the former room of his sister, Pearl Howard. The door was ajar, and he could see that Ellinor

was in the room, squatting down with a music box in her hands, seemingly deep in thought.

Upon hearing Patricia’s voice, Ellinor slowly lifted her gaze towards the siblings.

Suddenly, Patricia shrieked, “Ellinor, what the hell did you do to my sister’s music box? That was her favorite when

she was a kid!”

Ellinor was taken aback. She wasn’t surprised by Patricia’s accusation but simply stood up and calmly said, “I didn’t

do it.”

Shock painted Patricia’s face as she took the now broken music box from Ellinor’s hands. After inspecting it, she

exclaimed with regret, “What the hell? It’s really broken!”

Then, Patricia turned to apologize to Balfour, “Balfour, I’m sorry! I just went to grab a drink for Ellinor, and she

wandered into Pearl’s room and messed up the music box. It’s all my fault. Don’t blame her, blame me!”

Patricia was well aware of Balfour’s intolerance for anyone stepping foot in his sister’s room, let alone damaging

anything in it.

Once, a maid accidentally snagged the room’s curtain with her shoe while cleaning, making Balfour livid. So he

punished her severely.

That’s why the room was usually locked, and nobody dared enter it.

Everything in the room remained exactly as it was before Pearl disappeared.

Patricia was actually displeased with this room, but she didn’t dare go against Balfour. So she never touched

anything in it.

Today, under the pretense of Ellinor, she seized the opportunity to cause some havoc in the room.

Now, with Ellinor ‘breaking’ Pearl’s favorite music box, even as the woman who saved their grandfather’s life, she

would surely face Balfour’s wrath.

While Patricia couldn’t completely be rid of Ellinor, at least she could take some satisfaction in seeing her get a

taste of Balfour’s punishment.

Balfour walked into the room and took the broken music box from Patricia. After glancing at the shattered glass

bear on the floor, he simply sighed and said, “It’s cool; we can just get it fixed.”

Patricia was stunned; her eyes were wide with disbelief, “What?!”

What the hell?!

That was Pearl’s favorite music box, and some stranger just broke it!

And Balfour didn’t even lose his cool?!

Balfour had a mysterious look on his face as he told Patricia, “Patri, go check on the kid. I’ll take care of our

grandfather’s savior.”

Patricia didn’t get what she expected, so her heart was filled with frustration and confusion.

What the hell was going on? Why wasn’t Balfour mad? Why wasn’t he blaming Ellinor?

She didn’t want to leave, “Balfour, there’s a nanny taking care of Baber. Can I stick around with you and Ellinor?”
