The Kiss that Sparked it All (Ellinor and Theo) novel Chapter 2432

Tessa had always believed that dirty laundry should be washed inside the house, not aired out in public. Even though Ivy had stirred up her fair share of trouble over the years, taking it to the internet seemed a bit like airing the family's dirty laundry for all to see.

Tessa had paid little mind to the gossip until Clara brought it up during her last visit home.

These past few days, Tessa hadn't found the time to carry out the task Clara had entrusted to her in Ivy’s place.

Now, Tessa was pacing her living room, restless with anxiety.

"I'm back!" Clara announced as she barged through the door, kicking off her sneakers haphazardly.

She crashed onto the couch, and Tessa immediately approached. She stood beside her with a look of urgency on her face.

"Clara, there's something I need to ask you about."

Clara internally rolled her eyes but kept her face neutral. She shifted on the couch to face Tessa without bothering to sit up. "Just spill it, Tessa." she asked.

"It's about that thing, you know, the one you asked me to do. I’ve been swamped and haven’t gotten around to it yet. But I saw what you posted online. Why'd you have to stir the pot like that? Ivy's not the same person she used to be, and messing this up isn't going to end well!
