The Kiss that Sparked it All (Ellinor and Theo) novel Chapter 735

Chapter 735 

Balfour looked shocked, “You knew?” 

Ellinor continued her nonchalant attitude, “Hmm, yeah, I knew.” 

Balfour was puzzled, “When did you find out?” 

Ellinor replied casually. “A long time ago, probably not long after I met you” 

Balfour was even more confused, “If you knew back then, why didn’t you tell me?” 

Ellinor chuckled as if mocking him, “Even if I told you, you wouldn’t have believed me. All along, haven’t I just been a plain Jane with ambitions in your eyes who just wants to get ahead using power? 

Just think about it, if I suddenly showed up saying I’m your long–lost sister, you’d probably think I’m a pain in the ass and that I’m full of tricks, trying to worm my way into your rich family, right?” 

Balfour’s face stiffened a bit. In front of the sister he lost and found again, he, as a brother, felt extremely awkward, “I was prejudiced against you back then, it was my bad. I’m sorry. How can I make it up to you?” 

Ellinor put down her bowl and waved it off, “No need! You don’t have to do this! You’re Patricia’s good brother, not mine.” 

Balfour understood Ellinor’s rejection of him, but he stressed with a frown, “Ellinor, we share blood. I am your brother and always will be!” 

Ellinor leaned back in her chair, looking indifferent 

“I accept we share blood, but to me, that’s all it is. In reality, we are just strangers who happened to have the same mother. Apart from the blood relation, we are from completely different worlds” 

Balfour felt very guilty. “I know I had a lot of misunderstandings about you before, and I did a lot of things that upset you. I’m sorry! Can you give me a chance to make up for my mistakes?” 

Ellinor chuckled, “Let’s set aside the blood relation for now. You don’t like a girl like me who grew up in the countryside without any manners, and I don’t like a man like you who thinks he’s above everyone else. We don’t have anything in common, nor do we have the bond of growing up together, so let’s not force this sibling relationship!” 

Balfour tried to explain, “No, it’s not as you think.” 

In fact, he admired Ellinor in his heart, but because of Patri, he had been prejudiced and hostile towards Ellinor from the very beginning. 

And now Ellinor finally understood why Balfour wanted to talk to her in person today. 

Although she didn’t know how Balfour found out the truth, Ellinor didn’t want to hear his pleas for forgiveness and recognition anymore. 

She smiled calmly and politely. “Thanks for the breakfast, I’m honored to have tasted your cooking.” 

Balfour said gently, “If you’d like, I can make this for you often…” 

Ellinor cut him off, “No need! Some things become boring after one taste. Sorry, I’m a bit tired now, I won’t be joining you for lunch! Devin, show our guest out!”
