The Kiss that Sparked it All (Ellinor and Theo) novel Chapter 427

Chapter 427 

“I reckon, now that you’re married into the Blanchet family, you should just enjoy your life and not dig up the past! I made a promise to your mom not to let your enemies find you 

Ellinor blinked, surprised at this ‘father, who shared neither blood nor affection with her. His words, however, seemed like a kind warning, maybe a reflection of his complicated feelings for his first love 

Ellinor smiled. “Thanks for the heads up I will live well and protect myself. Mr. Arnold, goodbye” 

With that she sauntered out of the study 

Arnold frowned deeply and let out a long sigh. He had managed to keep Ellinor safe till she turned twenty, which fulfilled his promise to his first love. Now that she was all grown up and ready to fly the nest, he couldn’t interfere anymore. 

Downstairs in the Mendoza house 

A few burly men were moving the gifts that the Blanchet family had sent for the engagement 

“Hey! Who are you guys? What gives you the right to barge into my house and move stuff around? Put those down! Those are my things; you can’t take them!” 

Sheila’s frantic voice echoed around the Mendoza house. 

Tracy also chimed in, “My daughter is right, you can’t move things in our house! If you don’t put the stuff down and leave my house now, I’m calling the police.” 

Ellinor strolled down from upstairs, “I asked them to move the stuff.” 

Sheila looked up, her eyes red with rage, “Ellinor, who gave you the right to order people to move stuff in my house? You bitch!” 

Ellinor smiled, “Because those are all my husband’s gifts, you got a problem with that?! 

Sheila gritted her teeth, “Ellinor, you stole my man, now you want to steal my dowry: I will kill you today!” 

With that, Sheila charged at her but Tracy managed to hold back her daughter. “Sheila, cool down, don’t be impulsive!” 

“What’s going on now? Why all this noise? Can’t we have a quiet day?” 

Arnold also heard the noise downstairs and went down to check 

Sheila pointed angrily at the men, “Dad, look! Your precious little daughter has people robbing our house!” 

Arnold looked closely and realized that the stuff being moved were gifts from the Blanchet family. He got anxious, “Ellinor, didn’t you say that if I told you about everything. you wouldn’t take the Blanchet family’s engagement gifts? You can’t just go back on your word!” 

Ellinor said calmly, “I was going to take the engagement gifts because they’re from my husband and they’re special to me. But Mr. Arnold, I won’t forget your kindness for taking me in all these years, so I will compensate you with an amount equal to the value of those gifts.”
