The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 108

The maid answered, "Ellinor, Marissa Blanchet is about to hit the road."

Was Marissa leaving?

Ellinor was worried about whether Marissa had been affected by yesterday's incident with Veronica Blanchet. Then she heard Marissa calling her name in a soft voice.

"Ellinor."

She lifted her head and saw Marissa sauntering over from across the room.

"Granny, I heard you're about to split?"

Marissa smiled gently, sighing, "Yeah, I gotta jet. I need to go look after your grandpa. The stubborn old man hasn't followed the doctor's orders since his surgery. He needs me."

"Oh, I see." Upon hearing this, Ellinor didn't insist on Marissa staying. "Well, take care of yourself, Granny. Watch your step."

Marissa nodded and held her hand gently. "Ellinor, I know you've been having a rough time. Veronica really crossed the line! Don't worry, I'm gonna ship her off to her grandpa's. She won't be a nuisance to you guys anymore."

It's rare to find an elder who doesn't play favorites when it comes to their grandkids, even in the face of right and wrong.

Ellinor felt moved, "Thanks for understanding, Granny."

"After I leave, you and Theo have to keep your chins up, alright?"

Keep their chins up?

Ellinor was puzzled. She didn't immediately understand what "keep your chins up" meant. Seeing the meaningful smile on Marissa's face, she blushed.

She giggled awkwardly, "Don't worry, Granny, we will..."

Marissa laughed, "I'll be waiting for some good news then!"
