The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 558

As Theo approached, Ellinor's eyes flickered uneasily, "Because I can't stand the smell of smoke!"

Theo frowned, leaning in even closer and mockingly blowing a puff of smoke above her head, his tone dripping with sarcasm, "Don't like the smell of smoke, huh? Then steer clear of me!"

After saying this, he extinguished his cigarette on the wall behind her and accurately tossed it into a trash can up ahead.

Since Ellinor had been walking along the roadside wall, she had no choice but to lean back when he stopped her until she had nowhere else to go.

Now, you could say Ellinor was cornered. She scrunched up her brows, glaring at the man unhappily, "How am I supposed to get away from you like this? Mr. Blanchet, do me a favor and step aside. I'll make sure to keep my distance!"

Theo seemingly saw right through her, his eyes narrowing into dangerous slits, "Ms. Mendoza, are you nervous?"

Ellinor was speechless.

He was way too close, beyond what was socially acceptable. Anyone would be nervous!

Theo made no move to back off; his gaze locked onto the girl's eyes, as if determined to see right through her.

Their proximity was uncomfortably close; their eyes met, and the tension was palpable.

Theo couldn't shake the feeling that she didn't really come off as married. It seemed like she was hiding something.

"Darling, I get a little jealous when I see you so close to another man at our doorstep!"

Suddenly, a gentle yet reproachful man’s voice came from the other side.

Theo and Ellinor turned their heads almost simultaneously.
