The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 810

Ellinor quirked an eyebrow, her smile sharp as a knife, "Mr. Howard, you seriously think I give a hoot about what you think of me?"

Balfour fell silent as regret and shame washed over him for his past behavior. He could understand why Ellinor was rejecting him.

He knew that Ellinor didn't care about his attitude, let alone anything about the Howard family.

Still, he wished that Ellinor would come home to give him a chance to make up for his past mistakes.

Balfour sighed, asking softly, "Ellinor, what can I do for you to forgive me? To make you come home?"

Ellinor looked at Balfour's current attitude. Compared to his previous arrogance, he seemed to be groveling now. But this didn't move her at all.

"Mr. Howard, you must understand. I'm not mad about your past misunderstandings, nor do I hold a grudge because you treated me poorly. To me, we were just strangers who shared blood, and now, at most, we're acquaintances.

So, I think your doubts, misunderstandings, and even your dislike for me were all normal. Please don't play the forgiveness card with me; it just doesn't suit you."

Balfour was at a loss for words; he had never felt so helpless before.

Ellinor continued, "Also, I'm not coming back to the Howard family, nor will I have any relation with any member of your family. This has nothing to do with how you treated me before.

As far as I know, the Howard family once thought I wasn't their child. You guys even had a paternity test done and then drove my mom away. Why should I still carry the Howard family name?"

Balfour's eyes suddenly tensed, "You remember those things?"

Pearl was so young then; how did she remember that chaotic time?

Ellinor said sternly, "I don't remember, but I've found out all the information.
