The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 1353

A few seconds later, Theo sent her another message. “Usually, they don’t eat at this hour, given their age. If you don't want to see me, it's cool. Just send one of the Howard family's servants to collect it."

Ellinor frowned. She knew Theo well enough to know that he wouldn't leave unless the stuff was taken.

He was always so stubborn; he never listened to others and pressured them constantly.

...

At the entrance of the Howard family's home.

Theo got out of the car with his hands in his pockets and stared at the Howard family's yard, awaiting someone to collect the stuff.

Collin also stepped out of the car, following behind him, carrying the packed barbecues.

But no one from the Howard family came out. Instead, a car approached from the distance, its headlights shining so brightly that it was blinding.

The car stopped at the entrance of the Howard family's gate. After switching off the headlights, the man in the car got out.

Bartlett got out of the car and walked towards Theo, asking, "Theo, I just heard from Balfour that you're back. You alright?"

Theo nodded slightly. "Yeah, I'm fine."

Bartlett smiled. "Good to hear. But what are you doing standing here this late?"

Theo replied with a straight face. "Waiting for someone."

Bartlett frowned slightly and thought for a moment. "Are you waiting for Ellinor?"

Theo didn't answer.

Bartlett took his silence as an agreement. He looked at the quiet Howard family's yard and said kindly, "Theo, if Ellinor doesn't want to see you, I think you shouldn't force her."

After that, he saw the package in Collin's hand, understood something, and added, "Is that for Ellinor? Need me to take it in for you?"
