The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 141

Burns were definitely more unbearable than other injuries. It was like a relentless burning sensation that kept spreading, making the pain impossible to ignore.

Ellinor nodded, "When I was a kid growing up in the countryside, I had to do everything myself, so at first, I was always getting burns. They hurt so bad I couldn't sleep all night!"

Theo asked anxiously, "How old were you when you started working?"

Ellinor replied casually, "I can't remember!"

She didn't want to talk much about her childhood. When it slipped out, she didn't want to keep talking.

The man's other hand unconsciously covered her head, petting her like a small animal, "Did you have a hard time when you were little?"

"It was okay!"

Ellinor didn't like the feeling of being pitied. So she disdainfully brushed away the man's hand on her head and explained seriously, "You probably don't understand my family. I think it's necessary to tell you. People from the Mendoza family are very greedy. If they find out about our relationship, it would not only bring trouble to me but also unnecessary complications for you. I guess you don't like trouble, right? So, I hope you can cooperate with me and keep our relationship as discreet as possible, avoiding others from finding out about it!"

Theo smelled the unpleasant odor of the ointment, his mood not good, "In the Mendoza family, does anyone dare to bully you? If necessary, I can..."

"No need!" Ellinor shook her head, interrupting the man, "I can deal with my own family issues! And I think, we don't need to do anything extra for each other. After all, we will end our relationship in three months. By then, we can pretend to be strangers who don't even have to greet each other when we meet!"

The warmth in Theo's eyes instantly disappeared, replaced by coldness. She kept mentioning the end of their three-month contract. How much was she looking forward to the end of this relationship?

After breaking up, they should be strangers who didn't even greet each other when they met? Why didn’t she want to get close to him?

Theo's eyebrows furrowed, he withdrew his hand indifferently, "You're overthinking. I don't have time to deal with your family affairs."
