The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 772

Patricia looked at him with clear eyes, "Bartlett, do you have a thing for Ellinor?"

Bartlett paused for a bit, "What makes you think that?"

Patricia replied, "The first time I came downstairs, I saw you looking at a photo on your phone, and I saw you crop out just Ellinor's photo and save it in your private album. If you're not into her, why would you secretly keep her photo?"

Bartlett was caught off guard, and then he said frankly, "Well, yeah, I do like Ellinor. But she's already taken; I missed my chance, and I can't force it.”

Patricia shook her head, "If you're really into someone, you'll always find a way. Bartlett, we could join forces!"

Bartlett looked like he was deep in thought as he gazed at Patricia with a hint of a smile on his lips, "Join forces? Patri, how would we even team up?"

Ellinor and Theo were in the back, his hand tightly holding hers, never letting go.

He gently touched her head and spoke like he was praising a child, "You did well just now. You even stood up for me."

Ellinor lazily glanced at him, "Because you're so indecisive! You've been morally blackmailed for so many years; don't you know how to fight back?"

Theo's eyes darkened.

He knew Ellinor had a point. Over the years, he was indeed tied down by Patricia's favor and couldn't break free.

He was actually tired of it. Patricia's feelings for him were obvious, and many of her actions had crossed the line.
