The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 409

Theo snapped back to reality and dusted off the ash, "The clothes belong to Bartlett's female secretary."

"And why would you bring it in?"

"I bumped into her at the door, and she asked me to bring it in for you." Theo conveniently left out the events that had just transpired outside the guest room.

"Oh, I see."

Ellinor vigorously rubbed her damp hair and walked over to the other side of the bed to check her phone for any unread messages.

"Come here!"

Theo snuffed out the half-smoked cigarette in his hand and beckoned her over.

Ellinor's face showed reluctance; she was irritated and didn't want to get close to Theo.

But she wasn't a fan of the silent treatment. After weighing her options, she put down her phone and walked over to him, "You called me over for something?"

Theo patted his thigh, "Come here!"

Ellinor was speechless.

Was Theo asking her to sit on his lap?

No, that was so awkward!

She did walk over, but she didn't plan to sit on his lap. She intended to walk past him and sit on the other side of the couch.

But Theo, as if he had anticipated her thoughts, easily scooped Ellinor into his arms and placed her on his lap.
