The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 1215

Ellinor had just come down the stairs when she noticed Theo. She gave him a quick glance, then swiftly looked away.

"I appreciate his offer, but I don't want to grab a bite. I've got other stuff to do." Ellinor politely declined Belinda.

Belinda was a bit ticked off. "Auntie, what's up with you? Why don't you even want to share a meal?"

Ellinor didn't answer her question. Instead, she only smiled. "Belinda, I think it's better if you just call me by my name now."

Belinda was a tad peeved. "Auntie, haven't I always called you that? Why...?"

"Just lay off calling her Auntie if she doesn't want it."

Before Ellinor could respond to Belinda, the window slowly lowered in the back seat of a distant black business car, revealing Theo's stern face.

He was the one who just spoke.

Belinda rolled her eyes in frustration. "Fine! Ellinor, come dine with us, or if you're heading somewhere, my uncle can give you a lift."

"No need." Ellinor shook her head, ready to walk past Belinda and leave.

Theo's voice rang out again. "Get in the car, Ellinor. Don't we need to settle this once and for all?"

Ellinor paused; her heart felt like it was clenched in a vice grip.

He was right; it was high time they settled things.

Apparently, Theo didn't have much of a hold on her, nor was he planning to be a clingy pain in the ass.

She had wasted half a year hiding for nothing, completely overthinking things.
