The Kiss that Sparked it All (Ellinor and Theo) novel Chapter 281

Oh, he stayed up all night chatting with Patricia; how could he possibly sleep?

Seeing the girl's disgusted face, Theo frowned and said, "You got beef with me? What man doesn't grow a beard?"

Ellinor snapped back to reality, stood up from him, and moved slightly away before shaking her head, "No, I think you look hot with a beard too."

What does it matter to her whether he keeps his beard or not? Who is she to judge?

"You think I'm hot? Huh?" A flicker of surprise passed through Theo's eyes; compliments from her were hard to come by.

Ellinor was frank, "You being handsome is a fact; it has nothing to do with what I think."

"So why are you so cold towards me?"

"So, I should be all over you because you're handsome? There are plenty of hot guys in the world; should I be all over them too? Seriously?"

Theo's face darkened. He pulled her over to sit on the couch, forcefully put the cake on the table in front of her, and said coldly, "Get real! Eat your cake!"

Ellinor reluctantly sat down, huffing in annoyance.

Fine, she’ll eat!

Despite her swollen hand, she managed to pick up the small fork.

She stopped making a fuss and started eating the cake obediently on the couch, occasionally sneaking a peek at Theo's computer screen.

Theo also stopped messing around and focused on the documents on his computer, his long fingers occasionally tapping on the keyboard and making some annotations.

Ellinor felt bored and uncomfortable; she casually picked up the cake fork and asked, "When can I be discharged?"

"At least three days."

Three days! That’s too long...

She didn’t want to stay in the hospital any longer!

So, she tried to negotiate with him, "As long as I avoid what I'm allergic to, I can go home and rest, right?"

Theo turned his head and looked at Ellinor, who was about to eat her cake; his face showed slight movement, and his mouth opened...

Seeing this, Ellinor paused; he was wanting some cake too?

And, was there a hint of threat in his eyes?

If she wanted to negotiate, she’d have to feed him the cake first.

Getting the hint, Ellinor was a bit annoyed!

But she really didn't want to stay in the hospital for three days, so she was ready to put down the cake she hadn't eaten yet, get a new fork and feed him a bite.

Ellinor was taken aback.

Theo was moody one moment and cheerful the next.

Was there something wrong with his head?

She turned her face away, uttering a displeased “hmm”.

Theo always teased her for no reason! So annoying!

Just then, her phone started vibrating...

Ellinor put down the cake fork and walked over to the cabinet to get her phone.

She had been using Theo's phone recently, which was filled with his contacts. Only Collin and Jonah Wyton would occasionally call.

And now, the incoming call was from a number she hadn't stored.

Ellinor picked up the phone, her hand wrapped in gauze, making it inconvenient, so she used her chin to slide the screen and answer the call.

A terrified voice from Patricia came through the receiver, "Ah! Help! Don't, don't come any closer! I'm scared, save me, hurry up..."

Ellinor frowned without hesitation; she quickly walked over and handed the phone to Theo, "Theo, your Ms. Howard seems to be in some kind of trouble!"
