The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 86

"Alright, time to get real," Ellinor looked at Veronica, her relaxed demeanour shifting to something more serious.

"I'm telling you all this because there's really no need for you to go out of your way to get rid of me from the Blanchet family. Because when the time comes, I'll leave on my own accord. You couldn't make me stay a second longer even if you wanted to."

Veronica looked taken aback and confused, "What time? When?"

Ellinor raised an eyebrow, "Don't you know? Your brother married me just to keep your grandfather's condition stable. Three months from now, when your grandpa's health is completely under control, my marriage with your brother will be over. Then, I'll leave on my own. Whoever you want to be your sister-in-law, go ahead and make it happen."

Veronica frowned sceptically, "How can I be sure you'll really leave? Hah, don't think you can fool me! Every woman I've ever met wants to get close to my brother!"

Ellinor laughed, "Ms Blanchet, did you misunderstand me, or did I not clarify myself? No matter how good your brother is, he's not my type. I want to get as far away from him as possible, as soon as possible. I hope these three months will pass quickly."

Veronica looked at Ellinor sceptically, lost in thought.

Was Ellinor really not lying? Did she really have no interest in her brother?

"By the way, if you don't want me to have any strings attached with your brother when I leave, it's best not to tell Grandma about the three months. You know her better than I do. She's dying to hold a grandchild. She'd definitely try to intervene if she knew that your brother and I don't have a real marital relationship. Get it?"

With that, Ellinor stood up, ready to leave.

She said all this hoping Veronica would stop causing trouble. She didn't have the time or energy to deal with it. Veronica, on the other hand, was a bit shell-shocked. If Ellinor never intended to stay in the Blanchet family, then all her efforts had been wasted! She had even landed herself in detention. Why, oh why!

"Ellinor!" Veronica called out to her again.

Ellinor stopped, turned, and asked, "What now?"

Veronica smirked arrogantly, "I believe what you just said! I won't oppose you for these three months. Get them to let me out!"

Ellinor smiled, "Sorry, but your actions today violated the law. Being detained is a reasonable punishment by the police. Just sit tight. It's only fifteen days. Time will fly."
