The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 1203

"Well, yeah." Bartlett said, "Take off the mask in the car. It must be stuffy having that thing on your face."

Ellinor closed her eyes to rest, feeling too lazy to move. "Let's take it off when we get home."

Seeing that Ellinor was clearly exhausted, Bartlett didn't say anything more. He sped up the car and headed for the outskirts.

Two hours later, they finally arrived at the villa in the suburbs.

Ellinor had been sleeping in the car, but it was anything but comfortable. She had a stressful dream where Theo wouldn't let her leave and wanted to take away the child in her belly.

In the end, it was Bartlett who woke her up.

She opened her eyes and saw Bartlett's face very close to hers. She instinctively placed her hand on him. "What are you doing?"

Bartlett gave her an innocent, wry smile. "We're home. I called you several times, but you didn't wake up. I had to get a little closer to wake you."

Ellinor straightened up a bit, looked out the car window, and confirmed that they were home.

She had been living here for half a year, but she never considered this place home; it was just a temporary residence.

"Thanks for taking the time to drive me home, especially with your busy schedule. I'm going in now. You should head back before it gets dark." Ellinor politely but coolly said.

Bartlett frowned. "Ellinor, I'm tired from driving so long. Aren't you going to let me in to rest a bit before I leave?"

Ellinor didn't want him to come in, but considering the fatigue he must have felt from the long-distance driving, she agreed. "Alright, come in and rest with me. I'm just worried about you driving back alone when it gets dark."

Bartlett chuckled. "Good, we're making progress! You're actually worried about my safety."
