The Kiss that Sparked it All (Ellinor and Theo) novel Chapter 1394

Chapter 1394

Thaddeus replied nonchalantly, "Don't sweat it. I've been around the block a few times; I've got my own code of honor."

Theo stealthily slipped his hand into his pocket, ending the call he'd been keeping on hold, and smiled at Thaddeus. "Alright, Mr.

Thaddeus, your show."

Well, it seemed like Theo wouldn't be his son-in-law then. Thaddeus clenched his fists tightly, ready to go all in.

"You asked for it; no take-backs."

Theo handed his coat to Collin. "Wait for me outside."

Collin was worried sick and began trying to talk some sense into Theo. "Mr. Blanchet, Thaddeus is known for his brute force. A hundred hits from him could be lethal."

Theo's face was stone cold. He had no intention of backing down.

He simply instructed, "If Ellinor calls again, tell her I'm okay. Tell her I was exhausted and fell asleep."

Collin was on edge. "Mr. Blanchet..."

Ignoring Collin's advice, Theo calmly faced Thaddeus. "Let's get this show on the road!"

Thaddeus flexed his wrist, and without any mercy, he swung his bat down hard.

Theo grunted but stood his ground.

The first blow landed on Theo's back. The intense pain caused beads of sweat to form on his forehead.

Collin didn't leave. He'd never seen anything like this before and attempted to intervene. “Mr. Blanchet...

Without looking at Sophia, he stared at Thaddeus. His voice was shaking slightly from pain. "...ten more, keep going!"

After ninety blows, Thaddeus's anger was pretty much spent. But he couldn't help but admire Theo's tough spirit. He was indeed a stubborn lad.

Alright, then, he'll give him what he wanted.

As Sophia saw her father raise his bat again, she immediately threw herself in front of Theo. "Dad! Stop! You can't hit him anymore!"

Thaddeus frowned at his daughter. "Sophia, move! I'm punishing this cheating bastard. I'll find you someone better."

Sophia, with tears streaming down her face, shook her head firmly, refusing to move. "Dad, didn't you promise me you'd talk things out

with Theo? Why are you hitting him? You could kill him! If he dies, I don't want to live either!"
