The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 777

Veronica grumbled with a hint of displeasure, "Well, you got what you wanted, so why the long face?"

Ellinor glanced at the mess in the room, "Before I had you do these chores, it was you who started the fight, trying to get me to do them. Feeling the pinch now, huh? You should know better than to force people to do things they don't like!"

Veronica's resolve seemed to waver, but her pride wouldn't let her admit her mistake, "You... Don't lecture me. Who do you think you are?"

Ellinor calmly asked, "How old are you this year?"

Veronica glanced at her, "Twenty-one, so what?"

"Hmm, you're a year older than me, yet you're at home waiting for others to do everything. Usually, people your age are starting internships or working."

Veronica shrugged it off, "I don't want to go out and work like the rest of the world; I'm not short of money!"

Ellinor nodded slightly, "True, you're well off, so there’s no need to worry about your future livelihood. But if one day you meet someone you like, what do you think he'll like about you?"

Veronica fell silent.

She did have someone she liked, the boy she wrote a love letter to before, but he didn't like her back, and she didn't know why.

Ellinor continued, "Would you rather your future partner be with you for your wealth or because he loves your kindness, independence, and unique charisma? Which kind of affection do you think is more enduring and more real?"
