The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 176

The phone had been ringing for a while before someone finally picked it up.

"Hello?" Bryan Howard said cautiously, lowering his voice a bit. "Theo, I'm doing my homework. What's up?"

"It's me." Elinor chimed in.

"Elinor?" Bryan's voice lifted a bit in surprise, then he quickly tried to soften it again, sounding slightly irritated. "Elinor, why are you calling me from Theo's phone?"

"I was wondering, is your sister at home?" She asked.

Bryan was a bit puzzled. "Why? You need to see my sister?"

Elinor hesitated, feeling it was inappropriate to tell Bryan directly. "Theo Blanchet needs her right now. Could you check if she's available to come over?"

Bryan was even more confused. "My sister is abroad right now; it'll take her a while to get back. Why does he need to see her? Why doesn't he just call her himself?"

It was then that Elinor understood their predicament. The person they needed was miles away!

"Never mind then! Bye!" Elinor said it abruptly.

Bryan was annoyed. "Elinor, can you finish what you're saying?"

Elinor didn't have time for chit-chat and quickly hung up. She had originally hoped Bryan's sister could help Theo out with some issues. But Pearl was abroad!

Elinor sighed in frustration. Theo's phone suddenly buzzed again. She thought Bryan was calling back, but the caller ID showed it was Theo's friend, Jonah Wyton.

Her first instinct was to hand the phone to Theo, but given his current situation, she decided to answer it herself.
