The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 281

Oh, he stayed up all night chatting with Patricia; how could he possibly sleep?

Seeing the girl's disgusted face, Theo frowned and said, "You got beef with me? What man doesn't grow a beard?"

Ellinor snapped back to reality, stood up from him, and moved slightly away before shaking her head, "No, I think you look hot with a beard too."

What does it matter to her whether he keeps his beard or not? Who is she to judge?

"You think I'm hot? Huh?" A flicker of surprise passed through Theo's eyes; compliments from her were hard to come by.

Ellinor was frank, "You being handsome is a fact; it has nothing to do with what I think."

"So why are you so cold towards me?"

"So, I should be all over you because you're handsome? There are plenty of hot guys in the world; should I be all over them too? Seriously?"

Theo's face darkened. He pulled her over to sit on the couch, forcefully put the cake on the table in front of her, and said coldly, "Get real! Eat your cake!"

Ellinor reluctantly sat down, huffing in annoyance.

Fine, she’ll eat!

Despite her swollen hand, she managed to pick up the small fork.

She stopped making a fuss and started eating the cake obediently on the couch, occasionally sneaking a peek at Theo's computer screen.

Theo also stopped messing around and focused on the documents on his computer, his long fingers occasionally tapping on the keyboard and making some annotations.

Ellinor felt bored and uncomfortable; she casually picked up the cake fork and asked, "When can I be discharged?"

"At least three days."

Three days! That’s too long...

She didn’t want to stay in the hospital any longer!

So, she tried to negotiate with him, "As long as I avoid what I'm allergic to, I can go home and rest, right?"

Theo turned his head and looked at Ellinor, who was about to eat her cake; his face showed slight movement, and his mouth opened...

Seeing this, Ellinor paused; he was wanting some cake too?

And, was there a hint of threat in his eyes?

If she wanted to negotiate, she’d have to feed him the cake first.

Getting the hint, Ellinor was a bit annoyed!

But she really didn't want to stay in the hospital for three days, so she was ready to put down the cake she hadn't eaten yet, get a new fork and feed him a bite.
