The Kiss that Sparked it All (Ellinor and Theo) novel Chapter 1826

Chapter 1826

Theo's touch left Ellinor trembling. "What are you doing?"

Theo stood up straight and pressed his forehead against hers. "What do you mean, what am I doing?"

His voice was warm and inviting, and his nose just missed hers as he tried to lean in for a kiss.

Quick as a flash, Ellinor put a finger to his lips as a warning crossed her furrowed brow. “That's enough!”

The man didn't get his kiss, so a regretful look appeared in his eyes. "Why?"

Ellinor stared at him. "Do you think this is the time for that? Let go of me. I have questions for you!"

Theo was reluctant to let go. "I won't run away. We can talk later, okay?"

Ellinor almost fell for his charms. She had to gather all her wits to keep her cool. “No! I can't escape either. You can... later...”

She couldn't finish her sentence. Her face turned a deep shade of red.

Upon seeing her like this, Theo chuckled and gently caressed her cheek. “Later... what?"

Ellinor was flushed with embarrassment and pushed the tall, handsome man away with all her strength.

“Nothing! Just behave!”

Theo finally agreed to let her go, but only to the extent of not pursuing his sex intentions. He didn't completely let go of her.

He picked her up, sat down on the office chair with her on his lap, and held her as if she were a precious gem.

“Okay. We'll continue later. Ask your questions.”

She was afraid of Marcus disliking her, so she rarely touched alcohol.

After sending Marcus off on a plane to M State, she felt a lot more at ease. At least for the time being, she didn't have to worry about Ellinor possibly trying to get Marcus back.

The house in M State was well guarded. Even if Ellinor went to M State, she couldn't get into their yard, let alone take Marcus away.

She should be happy, relaxed, and victorious. But for some reason, she felt a heaviness in her chest. It was a discomfort that wouldn't go away.

She went to a bar and drank a lot.

She used to be a social butterfly, with many friends. They would often gather for meals, drinks, and parties.

But ever since she started keeping Marcus by her side, she had become cautious. She was unwilling to be away fromm home for too long. She was afraid that Marcus would be gone when she came back.

Gradually, she lost touch with her friends.
