The Kiss that Sparked it All (Ellinor and Theo) novel Chapter 738

Chapter 738 

Patricia looked stunned. Balfour had never been this serious with her before. 

“But I really love Theo. Balfour, you’ve always known…” 

Balfour frowned, “Love takes two to tango, not just you. If he doesn’t love you, all your efforts are in vain. Let him go, and let yourself go too” 

As Patricia’s eyes reddened and tears streamed down her face, she asked, “What’s wrong with you, Balfour? Did Ellinor say something to you? You’ve become so cold and indifferent, don’t you care about me anymore?” 

As he watched Patricia’s tears drop, Balfour felt annoyed but also a bit of heartache. He thought maybe he was too hard on her. 

“Alright, stop crying. I’m just looking out for you. You’re losing yourself over Theo, you know?” 

Balfour patted Patricia’s shoulder to comfort her. 

With tears in her eyes, Patricia looked at Balfour, “But I really love Theo! Balfour, I can’t control myself…” 

Balfour rubbed his forehead; he felt a headache coming on. 

Was God playing a joke on him? Why did his two sisters fall for the same guy? 

Being a big brother was tough. 

After sending Patricia home, Balfour returned to the office. 

Only he and the driver, Quinton, remained in the car. 

Quinton asked “Mr Howard, how did your talks go with Ms. Mendoza? Did Ms. Mendoza recognize you as her brother?” 

In the back seat, Balfour leaned back and lightly pinched his brow. “Do you think she would recognize me?” 

Quinton paused for a moment and reassured, “Ms. Mendoza grew up in the countryside and has endured many hardships; she’s rather strong and independent. It’s understandable if she has difficulty accepting that she’s found her long–lost family” 

Balfour closed his eyes. He was tired and began to laugh sarcastically, “No, she’s known all along.” 

Quinton furrowed his brow, “Ms. Mendoza knew you were her brother all along?” 

Balfour let out a heavy sigh, “Yes. From the start, she endured all my extreme actions, even though I was her brother. But she didn’t say anything and treated me as 

a stranger. 

Do you think she’d want to recognize me?” 

Quinton was at a loss for words, it was indeed a tough situation. 

“But why didn’t Ms. Mendoza say anything if she knew it? Doesn’t she want to reunite with her family and receive their love?” 

“She probably hates me.” Balfour’s sarcastic smile was self–deprecating. 

Quinton also felt that Balfour’s previous attitude towards Ms. Mendoza was a bit over the top in order to protect Patricia. He sighed, “Mr. Howard, relax a bit. Given time, I believe Ms. Mendoza will come around” 

Balfour didn’t say anything, he knew his situation wasn’t optimistic. 

Pearl wasn’t just angry with him, she didn’t want to admit he was her brother at all! 

She didn’t care about his wealth and power or their family’s background; she didn’t care about any of it. 

Otherwise, why didn’t she come looking for him when she knew her identity? 

He had previously guessed that Ellinor was a gold digger. 

He really wanted to slap himself. 

He had been such a jerk!
