The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 1183

Theo gave strangers the cold shoulder most of the time.

The issue now was that she was eight months pregnant, and if she went out and about, she would stick out like a sore thumb. She was a walking billboard!

If she didn't go, the Blanchet Corporation wouldn't cough up the final payment, and Crescent Society would be up shit creek without a paddle; they would even be on the brink of going belly up.

This was the company she had busted her hump to build from the ground up. How could she bear to watch it crash and burn?

Besides, she had a kid on the way now and needed the company so she could bring home the bacon.

The more she thought about it, the more worried she became. She couldn't figure out a perfect solution for love or money.

Just then, the doorbell rang at the villa.

Ellinor snapped back to reality and was immediately on high alert. Who could that be?

There was usually no one coming here except for the supply truck sent by Bartlett.

But they just dropped off supplies yesterday. There was no way they'd send someone again today.

Ellinor watched with a furrowed brow as the servant went to answer the door.

After seeing the servant bow respectfully to the visitor, Ellinor finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It was Bartlett!

But what the heck was he doing here?

This place was a stone's throw from the city. It took two hours to drive here and another two to drive back. Didn’t he find the drive annoying?
