The Kiss that Sparked it All (Ellinor and Theo) novel Chapter 805

Chapter 805 

When Ellinor saw Patricia coming over, she quickly snatched the photo from the book and hid it up her sleeve. 

Patricia didn’t see the photo and only saw some baffling text. She frowned, “Ellinor, can you make heads or tails of this stuff?” 

Ellinor closed the book and put it back, I’m as clueless as a cat in a doghouse. Let’s check out something else!” 

But before Patricia could respond, there was a commotion. 

While putting the book back, Ellinor set something off. The towering bookcase moved, and a concealed door in the middle swung open. 

Ellinor was surprised to see this, “What?” 

Patricia scrunched up her face, looking a bit uncomfortable, “It’s nothing. That’s my dad’s study. The designer thought the hidden door was a neat touch. It’s just a room full of books, it’s nothing special. Let’s go, Ellinor!” 

Patricia, looking a bit antsy, grabbed Ellinor’s arm and started to walk away, clearly not wanting Ellinor to go into the study’. 

The more Patricia acted strangely, the more Ellinor wanted to see what was inside, “Since we’re here, I’ll just take a quick look.” 

“There’s nothing worth seeing. Don’t bother!” Patricia tried to stop Ellinor, but it was too late. 

Ellinor was quick, and before Patricia knew it, she was already in the study. 

Ellinor saw that behind the hidden door wasn’t a study but a small bedroom with a single bed. 

A bedroom inside a bedroom? What was the deal here? 

Ellinor thought for a moment, then asked, “Ms. Howard, do your parents sleep in separate beds?” 

Patricia looked a bit nervous, but she managed to keep her cool and said with a smile, They only sleep separately when they have a spat. What couple doesn’t have their arguments, right?” 

Ellinor raised an eyebrow, “If it’s a spat, your parents could just stay in the guest room for the time being. Your house is so big, I’m sure there’s an empty guest room. There’s no need to have such a hidden little room, right?” 

Clearly, this room was made to keep prying eyes away. Was it to hide the fact that the Howard family’s couple had been sleeping separately all along? 

Patricia shifted her gaze and explained, “Actually, it’s because my mom thinks my dad’s snoring disturbs her sleep, so she sometimes has him sleep alone in this small room. My mom took my dad’s dignity into consideration and didn’t want him to be seen by the house staff in the guest room. So this room was made. My parents’ relationship is really good; they always take each other’s feelings into account.” 

Ellinor gave a small smile, “I see!” 

Patricia knew that family matters should not be disclosed so casually. The fact that her parents have been sleeping separately for years was something she knew but could not let others know, especially not Ellinor!
