The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 1220

In the restaurant.

Ellinor and Theo took their seats after being led by the restaurant manager.

Since she had been pregnant for eight months now, Ellinor's belly had become quite large.

Despite the waiter pulling out the chair for her, the space between the chair and table seemed a bit cramped for a pregnant woman. She attempted to sit down, but found it uncomfortable. Consequently, she reached out to pull the chair back a bit further.

However, before her hand even touched the chair, Theo's long arm extended. His big hand landed on the chair’s back before hers did, pulling her chair back another few inches.

Ellinor paused for a moment and looked up at Theo. Although she didn't feel any affection for him, she politely muttered, "Thank you."

Without giving her another glance or response, Theo withdrew his hand, elegantly walked to the chair opposite her, and sat down.

Just the day before, the two sat across a dining table, having a meal.

Yesterday, she wore the mask that Bartlett brought her, believing she appeared flawless and ate comfortably.

But today was different. She was facing Theo as Ellinor; it was not as easy to pretend that nothing was going on.

Not wanting to make too much eye contact with Theo, Ellinor turned her head to look outside the restaurant. "Where's Belinda?"

She was sure she saw Belinda enter the restaurant with her, but now she couldn't see her anywhere near their table.

Theo's eyes flickered, and his tone seemed sarcastic. "What? Does being alone with me make you uncomfortable?"

Theo's straightforward question annoyed Ellinor; she glared at him and laughed. "No, I'm just hungry and want to order. How can we order if everyone's not here?"
