The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 451

Theo glanced at his wristwatch, "Sure thing."

Balfour helped Patricia up, gracefully stood himself, and grabbed his coat. "Let's take Patri out for lunch and have a chat while we're at it."

"Alright."

Ellinor, listening from behind the bookshelf, unconsciously placed her hand on her two-month pregnant belly, her gaze cold and sarcastic.

The matter Balfour wanted to discuss with Theo probably involved Theo and Patricia's upcoming engagement.

The two of them already had a child together; their parents definitely couldn't object anymore.

It was likely that the elders of the Blanchet and Howard families had already reconciled and broken the deadlock.

Balfour, with his arm around Patricia's shoulders, walked with Theo toward the office door. Suddenly, he stopped as if remembering something, he said.

"Theo, something urgent came up; can you take Patri there first? I had Quinton make a reservation. You guys go ahead and eat. As soon as I'm done here, I'll come find you."

Theo agreed. His tone was calm and emotionless.

"We'll head to the restaurant first then! Make sure you catch up with us soon!" Patricia said sweetly.

Balfour smiled indulgently, "Sure!"

Ellinor breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing that Theo and Patricia were about to leave. Thankfully, she hadn't been discovered.

But suddenly, she felt a wave of intense nausea. She instinctively covered her mouth and did her best to suppress any noise.

Her morning sickness had worsened recently, perhaps due to stress or a lack of rest.

Feeling incredibly sick, Ellinor took a step back with her hand still over her mouth. Finally, the nauseating feeling in her stomach made her cough softly.
