The Kiss that Sparked it All (Ellinor and Theo) novel Chapter 601

Chapter 601

At this point, Patricia's gloom had lifted.

It seemed Haillie wasn't as helpless as she thought. When push came to shove, this friend could be quite handy.

Patricia felt at ease and smiled, “Haillie, thanks for defending me in front of Grandpa"

Haillie replied, "Ah, it's nothing! Patricia, we're best buds. How could I just sit back and watch Ellinor bully you and steal your limelight?

I swear, she was totally out to get you today, pushing you down the stairs on purpose so she could hog the spotlight!

Patricia chuckled and put on her innocent act, pretending to be clueless, "Haillie, don't be so hard on Ellinor. I don't think she did it on purpose.”

"As if! Patricia, you're just too kind-hearted. You're giving her too much credit!" Haillie genuinely thought her friend was too nice and easily bullied. She felt a strong protective instinct for Patricia, who was also going to be her relative in the future and was determined to look out for her.
