The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 572

Ellinor snapped back to reality, "I wasn't thinking about anything. You wait here for Mr. Blanchet; I'm taking off."

With that, she prepared to hail a cab and leave.

Byran instantly grabbed Ellinor, "Why are you leaving first? Theo just said he'd take us both; why are you trying to get a cab?”

“I need to get back to the office. ASAP.”

Byran didn’t buy her excuse, “What’s the rush? You’re done with work, aren’t you?”

Ellinor forced a smile, “My morning work is done, but I still have work to do in the afternoon! Mr. Howard, you think work is that simple?"

Byran didn't believe her at all and he had his eyes fixed on her face.

"Ellinor, are you in such a hurry to leave because you're afraid to face Theo?"

Ellinor fell silent.

Byran thought he'd uncovered a secret and arrogantly said, "I’m right, huh? Now that Theo’s with my sister, you can't handle it, can you? I told you ages ago that you and Theo aren't right for each other and that he'd end up choosing my sister but you didn't believe me!"

Ellinor chuckled lightly, "Mr. Howard, can you stop making assumptions about other people's thoughts?"

Byran arrogantly answered, "Why would I need to make assumptions? If it's not as I said, then wait with me for Theo to take us both! Otherwise, you must be hiding something!"

Ellinor was taken aback by Byran's actions and ended up being dragged back to the antique store.

Inside the antique store.

Theo was already sitting there waiting and being personally attended to by the store's owner.

"Mr. Blanchet, have a look! This is an antique I brought in especially for you; do you like it?"
