The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 506

Ellinor Mendoza's game plan got all scrambled up. She took a deep breath, steadied herself, and got ready to play her hand.

Out of nowhere, Theo Blanchet's big hand reached out. His rough fingertips pressed her card back into the pile, then picked a new one for her to play.

Ellinor stared at the card he played and had an epiphany. Playing the card his way was indeed unexpected and increased the odds of winning.

She didn’t understand why Theo, who was ignoring her just now, was helping her all of a sudden.

They locked eyes.

Theo showed no emotion. "What are you looking at me for? Look at your cards!"

Ellinor fell silent. There was no need to be so serious.

She wanted to thank him, but...

Anyway, Theo's reminder was well-intentioned.

But after he scolded her, Ellinor’s gratitude instantly vanished.

She pouted and turned her face away, frowning at her cards and feeling a bit annoyed.

Theo's action surprised everyone, but it was also expected.

Jonah Wyton and Kemp Larios exchanged glances, understanding each other without uttering a word.

Bartlett Rex squinted at Theo, then looked at Ellinor as complex emotions emerged in his eyes.

The girl, who had always been cold to him, always seemed calm and composed and did not frown no matter what happened.
