The Kiss that Sparked it All (Ellinor and Theo) novel Chapter 2444

Chapter 2444 

What had she been doing all these years, anyway? 

In the end, with no other choice, she reluctantly dialed Finn’s number. 

Finn was all riled up in his office as he recognized the caller as an officer. 

“Officer, I don’t suppose you could hand your phone to my wife Tessa? I’ve got a thing or two to say to her directly.” 

Finn struggled to keep his rising temper at bay, but when Tessa’s timid voice finally came through on the other end, he completely lost it. 

“Have you lost your mind? Why on earth did you go looking for that piece of work Ivy?” 

“It wasn’t my idea, Finn! It was Clara who sent me!” 

Tessa was livid. She had poured so much into this family, and yet, both Clara and Finn seemed to think of her as nothing but a burden. 

“Clara’s young and you’re such a mature woman. Can’t you tell right from wrong at your 

age? 

Didn’t I warn you just yesterday to stay away from Ivy? We’re done with her, cut all ties – why in the world did you go after her anyway? 

Now you’ve landed yourself in a police station. You’re no spring chicken, Tessa. Doesn’t this embarrass you? What on earth do you want from the Dunhill family?” 

“I don’t want anything from the Dunhill family. Your daughter told me to do it. How could I possibly say no to her? All these years she’s treated me like dirt, Finn. Don’t tell me you haven’t noticed. 

If you cared about me even a little, you’d understand the predicament I’m in. The mome refuse one of her demands, she throws a fit and threatens to go find her birth mother. D you have any idea what I’ve been through all these years? I knew that if I ever failed to please her, she’d run crying to you. How could refuse her under those circumstances?” 

Tears streamed down Tessa’s face, and the officer on the other side started piecing together the family dynamics. 

But what shocked her was that this mother had been so harsh with her own flesh and blood just to appease her stepdaughter. 

It was utterly absurd. 

Finn fell silent, his silence stemming from his guilt. He wasn’t oblivious to the undercurrents at home, but as the head of the household, he had chosen to remain silent.

He believed these trivial matters didn’t require his intervention. 

Besides, if he had to step in for something so small, what was the point of having Tessa 

around?
