The Kiss that Sparked it All

Chapter 945

Chapter 945

She didn’t mean to butter up Marissa Blanchet; she was merely complimenting her hard work, and she genuinely

thought the seafood soup tasted great.

Putnam had made it clear he didn’t like her, so no matter what she did, it was never good enough for the old man.

She could be polite to the elders, but if he really couldn’t stand her, she wouldn’t force it.

Marissa felt super awkward, shot Putnam an annoyed look in secret and sighed helplessly. Then she said to Ellinor,

“Ellinor, ignore him. If you like it, have more. There’s plenty more in the kitchen!”

Ellinor didn’t give a damn about Putnam’s attitude and smiled sweetly.

“Sure!” she replied cheerfully.

As she was having her soup, her phone buzzed twice. Ellinor took it out while eating.

It was a message from Chase.

Chase: Just as you predicted, Tracy Mendoza and Sheila Mendoza left early this morning to meet Patricia Howard in

a park. Patricia gave them a suitcase, probably filled with cash.]

Along with the message, he sent a photo.

Looking at the message from Chase, Ellinor wasn’t surprised at all. She calmly continued to have her soup while

opening the photo in the

message.

The photo was taken from a hidden angle. Behind some greenery, Patricia was handing a black suitcase to Sheila.

At that moment, the man next to her stood up.

After a few bites, Theo got up, took his coat, gave a quick greeting to Marissa and Putnam, then turned to leave.

Seeing him about to leave, Ellinor took a sip of water, stood up, and said, “Putnam, Marissa, I have some business

to attend to with Mr. Blanchet. Take your time with breakfast.”

Then she turned to Moran and Veronica and said, “You two eat more, then study hard.”

After saying this, she followed the man’s steps and left the house.

Once outside, Theo gave the girl a cold sidelong glance and said in a low voice, “What are you doing following me?”

Ellinor raised an eyebrow, “Can’t I follow you?”

He snorted, “Your classmate even came to your house, why are you following me? Shouldn’t you stay at home and

keep him company?”

Ellinor knew it was about that. She shrugged, “Theo, haven’t we talked about this already? Moran is your sister’s

crush. I brought him to tutor Veronica’s classes to create opportunities for her! Otherwise, if she ends up bringing

you a good–for–nothing brother–in–law, you’ll be even more upset!”

Theo glanced at her, still sulky, “If my brother–in–law has designs on my wife, wouldn’t that be even more

annoying?”

Ellinor gave a slight smile, “Teenage boys always have some unrealistic desires. In fact, I don’t know him well! Just

like you and me, we weren’t each other’s ideal type before, but we still ended up together, didn’t we?”

“Huh, yeah, this old man fell into the hands of a little girl like you!” Theo’s face finally softened a bit. He looked like

he couldn’t stay mad at her. “Why didn’t you wear a coat when you came out?” he asked, removing his coat and

placing it on her shoulders.

Ellinor gave a pout, “You left so fast. You didn’t even wait for me.”
