The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 1293

Chase and Ida had been blowing up Ellinor's phone, but the one who had really called her nonstop was Bartlett.

She was debating on whether to shoot him a message to let him know she was okay.

Her social media was also flooded with messages from Bartlett, asking where she was and how she was doing.

Ellinor was touched, so she texted him back. "I'm okay; I just had a dead phone."

Bartlett fired back right away. "Ellinor, where are you?"

"Don't wanna say."

If she told him, he would definitely come looking for her.

Given Bartlett was Balfour’s friend, Balfour wouldn't dream of barring him at the door.

Bartlett fired off another message. "Why won't you tell me where you are?"

"You'll find out. I'm beat, so I’m going to bed."

After hitting send, Ellinor bailed out of the chat. She was about to lock her phone when she caught sight of a friend request.

It was from Theo.

This was a new account she set up to ghost Theo after she axed her old one.

Why was this guy trying to friend her again?

After giving Theo the cold shoulder, she put her phone aside and started blow-drying her hair.

When she was done, she plopped onto her bed for some phone time, and there was yet another friend request from Theo.

This time, he had left a note. "Don't you want that painting anymore?"

Ellinor was at a loss for words.

She was fuming and couldn’t help but grip her phone tightly.

Theo knew her too well; he knew she was pissed but also that she couldn't escape him.

For the sake of the painting, Ellinor accepted his friend request but didn't respond.
