The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 324

"Since I took the subway with you last time, I have a little understanding of the city's subway line planning." Theo bent down to retrieve his subway card from the ticket gate, then took Ellinor's hand, turning her around to swipe his card and head towards the waiting area very naturally...

Ellinor, a little puzzled, even ignoring the fact that her hand was being held by a man, asked, "Why would you need to know all this? With your status, you have a private car for transportation, it's not necessary, is it?"

“I remember a girl tell me last time she wanted me to kick my lavish lifestyle to the curb?”

Ellinor was speechless.

She recalled that she did say those words. It was during their last encounter at the horse field.

At that time, she was just trying to contradict Haillie, to make a point. She didn't really want him to change anything!

"I was just speaking off the cuff then, you seriously decided to experience regular folks' life because of what I said in passing?"

"Am I not a regular folk?"

"Of course not, you're the greedy businessman type!"

"Did I exploit you?"

Theo chuckled at her words.

"Of course you did!" Ellinor declared confidently, "You exploited three precious months of my time and got me tangled up in all sorts of trouble!"

Theo suddenly stopped in his tracks and turned to look at her, "I'm sorry."

His sudden serious apology made Ellinor feel a bit uncomfortable.

"Err... let's forget it. I kissed you first, then you exploited me. We're both to blame. As long as you stop exploiting me once the three months are up, that's all that matters!"

"No can do."

"Didn't we agree to end it once the three months are up? You're not thinking of extending it, are you?"

"Are you that scared of an extension?"

"Of course! I can't possibly be stuck with the Blanchet family forever, taking orders from you, right? I expect you to keep your promise and give me back my freedom when the time comes!"
