The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 178

Theo's eyes were full of desire, like a predator eyeing its prey. He said, "What if I told you I'm interested in you right now?"

Just as he finished, a thunderclap sounded outside the window.

Suddenly, the rain got even heavier, rolling like waves.

Elinor looked at him in surprise and then laughed, "Did you hear that? Even God doesn't let you lie, Theo. He wants to punish you!"

Theo was furious.

Elinor sighed. "Theo, you might just be hallucinating from food poisoning, thinking you want to bed every woman you see. I get it."

"You're right!" Theo's breath was heavy, his chest heaving as if he were losing control. Then he bent down and kissed her.

She was in a panic, looking up at him. Theo turned and walked towards the guest room door.

Elinor let out a sigh of relief, then asked uneasily, "Where... where are you going?"
