The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 400

Ellinor didn't exactly get along with Patricia, and she really couldn't care less about what she had to say.

But it seemed like Patricia was itching to spill some beans.

Might as well hear her out. It was better than her scheming behind her back.

Drawing her arm back, Ellinor dusted off her sleeve, nodded at Patricia, and said, "Alright, let's shoot the breeze then."

Patricia froze for a second, thrown off by Ellinor's clear rejection of her touch. She put on an innocent and pitiful face, as if she had no clue what she had done wrong.

They settled down in a little gazebo in the villa courtyard, and Patricia broke the silence first, "Ellinor, I've noticed that Theo is really into you. He treats you well, doesn't he?"

Before coming over, Ellinor, fearing a dull conversation, brought along a couple of skewers of barbecued meat. While munching on it, she nonchalantly replied, "Oh, really?"

Patricia mustered up a wry smile, "Yeah. Theo is so good to you, you must be on cloud nine, huh?"

After some thought, Ellinor answered bluntly, "It's alright."

Patricia forced another bitter smile and sighed, "It was the same when Theo and I were together. Every day felt like a dream. But alas, men are fickle. Once a new flame comes along, they forget the old one..."

Ellinor, busy enjoying her barbecue, paused and turned to look at Patricia with her brow furrowed, "When were you two together?"

Patricia quickly covered her mouth, feigning shock as if she just realized she had spilled a secret. "Oh my, didn't Theo tell you? Ellinor, I'm sorry; I shouldn't have said that. Just forget I said anything; don't let it bother you, okay?"

Ellinor smiled and nodded, "Sure."
