The Kiss that Sparked it All (Ellinor and Theo) novel Chapter 485

Chapter 485 

Balfour couldn’t figure out why he was feeling this undeniable concern for Ellinor, who was someone he didn’t particularly like 

He rubbed his temples, thinking maybe he was overworked and that was messing with his head 

Soon, their car pulled up to Pearl Moon, 

Ellinor followed Balfour out of the car and into Pearl Moon. 

After a few steps, Balfour stopped suddenly, turned to look at Ellinor, and asked, “Cold?” 

was a winter night, and the temperature had dropped significantly 

Ellinor, in her thin dress, had arms going red from the cold, but she replied calmly. “I’m fine! 

Balfour stared at her for a moment, then turned to Quinton and said, ‘Quinton, get my coat from the car for Ms. Mendoza 

Quinton looked surprised for a moment but did as he was told. 

When Quinton draped a brand new coat over her shoulders, Ellinor was a bit taken aback. “Thank you for your concern.” 

Balfour replied nonchalantly, “Don’t read too much into it. I just don’t want you catching a cold and spreading it to me at work tomorrow.” 

Ellinor smiled, “I’m not overthinking it. I should be thankful for your care, no matter the reason. It’s just common courtesy 

Balfour gave her a glance but didn’t say anything else and walked towards the banquet hall with Ellinor trailing behind. 

Pearl Moon was the private property of the Howard family. At the entrance of the banquet hall, guests needed to sign in with their partners before they could enter 

No exceptions, no matter who you were. 

This was a tradition of the Howard family for celebrating birthdays 

So, every year, Balfour would bring a date. 

Inside the banquet hall, Balfour’s arrival caused a bit of a stir 

Balfour rarely attended such events, and his appearance drew everyone’s attention. Only someone like Aunt Bluna could possibly cajole him into showing up 

“Look, Mr. Howard brought a date!” 

“Whose girl is that? I don’t think I’ve seen her before.” 

“She’s stunning! And she’s wearing Mr. Howard’s coat; they must be close.” 

“It’s not unusual, Mr. Howard’s of marrying age now. It’s totally appropriate for him to bring a girlfriend to Aunt Bluna’s birthday”
