The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 1332

Veronica gave Sophia's number to Balfour.

After saving the number, Balfour muttered a thanks and turned to leave.

Veronica, feeling a bit uneasy, followed him. "Hold up, I'm coming with you guys to find Ellinor."

Balfour didn't stop or wait, but Byran did.

"Veronica, I think it's best if you just stay put. Your grandparents need you most right now. Don't worry, my brother and I will find Ellinor; no doubt about it!"

Veronica looked troubled. "But..."

Byran gently reassured her. "Theo is gone. If you don't take care of your grandparents, he'll be throwing a fit up in heaven."

With misty eyes, Veronica resigned herself. "Alright, I'll wait for news from you guys. The moment you find Ellinor, you must let me know."

Byran nodded. "Sure thing, no worries."

...

After they left the Blanchet villa and got in the car, Balfour dialed Sophia's number.

"Hello, what can I do for you?"

Sophia sounded pretty chill at the moment. A complete 180 from the meltdown she'd had when Veronica called earlier.

Without beating around the bush, Balfour asked, "Where's Ellinor?"

There was a pause on the other end before Sophia replied, "Oh, it's you, Balfour! Didn't I already make things clear to Veronica? You never let me see Ellinor, so how the hell am I supposed to know where she is now that she's missing?"
