The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 435

Ellinor nodded, "Yeah, thanks."

She, as usual, slowly climbed up the stairs to her room. Halfway up, she paused on the stairs, turning around to ask, "Oh, by the way, Devin, did you receive the stuff I had sent over this morning?"

She had ordered the engagement gifts that she got from the Mendoza family to be sent back via local express delivery. They should have arrived at the Blanchet villa by now.

Devin said, "Got them; I've put them into the storage room for safe keeping. Want to take a look, Ellinor?"

Ellinor waved her hand lightly, "No need; just remember to tell Mr. Blanchet when he comes back."

Devin replied, "Sure thing, Ellinor."

After giving her instructions, Ellinor continued to go upstairs.

The engagement gifts from the Blanchet family were quite valuable. She needed to return them to the Blanchet family, so she didn't owe them anything.

Devin watched Ellinor's retreating figure with a puzzled look. Something seemed off, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

Not being able to figure it out, Devin shrugged it off and went to instruct the kitchen staff to prepare a light lunch for Ellinor.

Before Mr. Blanchet left, he specifically instructed them about Ellinor's diet. Ellinor had allergies, so all allergens must be completely avoided. Devin had to personally check the ingredients every day.

...

After returning to her room, Ellinor took a bath, changed into her home clothes, ate the lunch brought in by the maid, and then went to bed.

Perhaps it was because she was pregnant that she always felt very tired. Lying in bed, she finally felt more relaxed. She had gotten used to sleeping on this big bed in Theo's room recently and now she felt somewhat reluctant to leave it.

Eventually, with her thoughts in a jumble, Ellinor drifted off to sleep.

...

Late at night, the weather turned cold and windy.
