The Kiss that Sparked it All (Ellinor and Theo) novel Chapter 1733

Chapter 1733 

“Hop in the company car, Bartlett. You can fetch your own ride later.” 

Bartlett raised an eyebrow. “Why? Isn’t it more convenient if I drive?” 

Ellinor explained, “We’re both going for a site inspection. Taking the company car is more appropriate. It avoids any misunderstandings.” 

Bartlett frowned. “Ellinor, aren’t you being a bit too cautious?” 

Without further explanation, Ellinor headed straight for the company minivan. Bartlett reluctantly shrugged and followed suit. 

Bright and early, Sophia started preparing breakfast for Marcus. She was trying to make amends for upsetting him the previous day. She hoped her efforts would lighten his mood. 

She made oatmeal and boiled eggs and sauted a plate of spinach and shrimp. 

Marcus brought Tristan for breakfast and remained silent at the table. 

Sophia peeled an egg for Marcus. “Once we’re done eating, let’s take a stroll with Tristan. My father will wrap up his work soon, and we’ll have to head back to M State.” 

Marcus paused before accepting the egg. “Mmm.” 

Sophia looked at Marcus cautiously as she tried her best to please him. “What’s wrong, Marcus? Don’t you want to go back to M State?” 

Marcus looked back at her with a detached gaze. “Even if I don’t want to go back to M State, would you agree?” 

Sophia was taken aback by his blunt response. “Uh… Marcus, why wouldn’t you want to go back to M State? Our home is there 

He hummed dismissively. “Home? Everywhere feels like a cage to me. I have no freedom.” 

Sophia was stunned. “Marcus, are you blaming me for restricting your freedom?” 

Marcus didn’t respond. He simply lowered his head to sip his water. 

Sophia put on a pitiful face. “I only restrict your movements because I worry about you. With your legs in their current condition, I can’t help but worry. I’m only trying to look out for you…” 

Marcus interrupted her. “Do as you please! If you’re not actually seeking my input, don’t bother bringing it up. My opinions seem to be irrelevant to you anyway. Just make the decisions yourself.”
