The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 758

Bartlett gave her a wry smile, "I've been crazy busy recently, either on the road or working abroad. I wanted to hit you up as soon as I got back, but it seems I'm a step too late."

"You're not late."

Ellinor's eyes reflected the blue fireworks in the sky.

After hearing this, Bartlett's eyes lit up a bit, "You mean there's still a chance for me?"

Ellinor said, "No, I mean, even if you weren't busy, even if you had time to come see me, there wouldn't be a chance."

Bartlett was taken aback, then a cold smirk appeared on his face, "Do I really fall that short in your eyes?"

Ellinor smiled, "Maybe you're a great guy, but when your heart is already taken by someone else, you can't see the good in others."

Bartlett stared at Ellinor's profile as she looked up at the sky, "So, Theo is the one who's taken your heart?"

Ellinor nodded and said simply, "Yes, I like Theo. No question about it."

Bartlett's smile was a bit sarcastic, "Do you think Theo's heart is completely taken by you, with no room left for anyone else?"

After hearing this, Ellinor frowned at Bartlett, whose eyes were gazing somewhere else.

She followed his gaze, only to see the hall empty as everyone went out to watch the fireworks. Only Theo was sitting on the couch, taking a call.

It must be Patricia; she was the only one who would call at this time.

Ellinor paused for a moment, "Theo has his difficulties. Patricia once saved his life, so he can't forget what she did for him."
