The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 584

Ellinor shot him a smile and replied cheerfully, "Hi, old Mr. Bagley, I'm Ellinor. I just turned twenty this year."

Old Mr. Bagley squinted his old eyes and gazed at her intently, "Twenty, huh? And who are your folks?"

"I come from a plain Jane family. You probably don't know my parents, but they're alive and kicking. They live in Greenhaven." Ellinor answered.

If pushed further, she would say she belonged to the Mendoza family. She didn't consider them her kin, but she didn't want to spill the beans about her real family situation here and raise eyebrows.

Old Mr. Bagley gave a nod, "Did my wife scare you earlier? You look a bit like our long-lost daughter and granddaughter, so she got a bit too excited."

Ellinor smiled back, "No worries; she didn't scare me. I totally get where old Mrs. Bagley is coming from. It's an honor to resemble your daughter and granddaughter."

Old Mr. Bagley took in Ellinor's poised demeanor and her attire.

She wasn't decked out like other young gals, flaunting skin even in the dead of winter.

She wore a simple white shirt with straight pants. She looked low-key and not overly dolled up for the party, but she had a vibrant energy, the kind of get-up-and-go that was rare among young folks these days.

Old Mr. Bagley found himself warming to Ellinor at their first encounter. He gave a serious nod before asking her.
