The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 173

"That's a relief!" Collin heaved a sigh of relief. If anything happened to Ms. Mendoza, Mr. Blanchet would be hopping mad.

From the moment today's incident happened, Collin noticed that Mr. Blanchet's concern for Ms. Mendoza had far surpassed the definition of a contract marriage.

Mr. Blanchet cared about Ms. Mendoza. A lot.

"Mr. Blanchet, there's a thunderstorm coming up. The helicopter can't take off! I've arranged for a car nearby. It's here now. Why don't you get Ms. Mendoza in the car first?"

Upon hearing this, Ellinor realized something. So they came by helicopter! No wonder they arrived so fast!

Theo then ordered: "You stay here and wait for the police to arrive. Make sure they nab those guys - no one should slip through the net!"

Collin nodded, "Yes, Mr. Blanchet, I'll see to it!"

After giving instructions to his subordinate, Theo picked up Ellinor, turned around, and strode toward the car ahead.

Collin followed behind with an umbrella...

Ellinor felt a bit awkward, "Theo, I'm not hurt, I can walk..."

As she spoke, she tried to wriggle out of his hold...

Theo's strong arm tightened, gripping her securely, and warned, "Don't move! Keep fidgeting and I'll dump you in the ditch!"

Ellinor stopped moving immediately, rolled her eyes and pouted. This guy's good side doesn't last more than three seconds!

Theo placed Ellinor in the passenger seat, then personally buckled her seat belt...

The two were very close to each other.

Ellinor felt uncomfortable, instinctively tried to fasten the seatbelt herself, but accidentally yanked Theo who was bent over her...

Pulled by her, Theo's chin naturally rested on her collarbone. Turning his head, his lips unintentionally brushed against her fair neck...

Theo's throat went dry with heat. He swallowed, released her, and straightened up.

Due to the previous contact, Ellinor turned her face away in embarrassment, blinking awkwardly...
