The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 71

Ellinor halted, hearing someone calling her name.

A sunny-faced big boy huffed and puffed as he ran towards her...

He was a junior from the third grade.

Ellinor asked him puzzled, "Moran, what's up? You need something?"

The shy big boy, scratching his head awkwardly with a sincere smile, said, "Ellinor, congrats on your graduation!"

Ellinor smiled, "Thanks."

Moran seemed to want to say something, but then he noticed the imposing man standing next to Ellinor, "Uh…Ellinor, who is this?"

Ellinor promptly replied, "Oh, he's my uncle!"

Theo turned speechless.

Upon learning that this was Ellinor's relative, Moran immediately bowed politely, "Hello, mister!"

Theo didn't bother to respond, his face cold.

Moran didn't mind Theo's coldness. He blushed as he asked Ellinor, "Ellinor, can I talk to you alone for a moment?”

Ellinor nodded, "Uncle, just give me a sec."

After speaking, she followed Moran to a slightly distant place to chat.

They stood by the window in the corridor. In the middle of their conversation, Moran pulled off the second button from his jacket and handed it to Ellinor.

Ellinor took it and looked at it, smiling.

Watching this, Theo smirked.

Collin, always quick to notice, saw Theo's confusion and explained, "Mr. Blanchet, in Japanese manga, the second button of a shirt is the nearest to the heart, symbolizing one's feelings. That boy's gesture means he's willing to give his heart to Ms. Mendoza."
