The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 705

Theo gripped her hand tightly, leading her slowly towards the door.

They'd just left the kitchen when suddenly a cane came swinging at them.

The cane was clearly aimed at Ellinor!

Theo reacted swiftly, grabbing the cane and shielding Ellinor behind him.

To his surprise, it was Dean!

Theo frowned, "Dean, what's the deal?"

Balfour looked just as surprised, "Grandpa?"

Dean ignored them. His aged yet sharp eyes were fixed on Ellinor, who was now protected behind Theo.

He took back his cane from Theo and pointed it at Ellinor, "Were you the one speaking just now?"

Ellinor was taken aback and frowned. What was up with the elders in the Howard family?

Regaining her composure, she nodded, "Yes, I was speaking. Is there a problem?"

Dean's pupils twitched, and he looked at her with a piercing gaze. He studied Ellinor with his deep eyes, "Have we met before?"

Instead of answering immediately, Ellinor glanced at Balfour. As expected, his handsome yet cold eyes held a hint of wariness.

If she acknowledged meeting him and explained the circumstances of their previous encounter, it would look like sucking up. Given Balfour's petty nature, he might think she was trying to curry favor with the Howard family by getting close to Dean.
