The Kiss that Sparked it All (Ellinor and Theo) novel Chapter 895

Patricia had been giving her the cold shoulder from the get-go, and now it was even worse!

Ellinor stared ahead with determined eyes and replied coolly, "Seems like we're not heading in the same direction."

Patricia laughed cordially, "Even if we're not, I can take a detour and give you a lift! We know each other well enough. It’s no biggie to drop you off!"

"No need to go out of your way."

"Ellinor, you're not scared of me, are you?"

Ellinor chuckled lightly, "What would I be scared of?"

Patricia still had her best innocent smile on her face, "You're afraid I'll retaliate, aren't you? Ha ha, relax, Ellinor. After what happened last time, even if I wanted to get back at you, I wouldn't do it now, and definitely not in my car! That would just land me in hot water! I'm not that stupid to shoot myself in the foot!"

Ellinor gave her a sidelong glance, "So what's your game?"

Patricia looked dead serious, "I just want to have a chat with you. Is that okay?"

Even though Ellinor knew Patricia's sincerity was all for show, she still got in the car.

She was fed up with Patricia following her around, and she couldn't find a ride anyway!

Once she got in the car, Ellinor let out a tired yawn, "I need to get home, so you might as well drop me off!"

Patricia awkwardly said, "Ellinor, I need to drop lunch off to my brother at the office first. Can I take you home after that?"

Patricia smirked slightly, and she couldn't hide her irritation and let out a scoff, "Slightly better? The way my brother treats you now is way over the top! Not normal at all! Ellinor, do you and my brother have a secret or something?"

Patricia's probing made Ellinor cautious. Recently, Patricia and her mother Xenia had been investigating her in the countryside. Although she had Chase deal with it, she couldn't be sure they wouldn't accidentally find some leads.

She couldn't let them find out about her blood ties with the Howard family yet. It wouldn't help the investigation into her mother's past!

After a few seconds of silence, Ellinor chuckled, "Ms. Howard, are you jealous? Your brother, who's always doted on you, is showing a bit of affection towards another girl, and you can't handle it?"

Patricia was hit where it hurt. She gritted her teeth secretly; her smile was even brighter as she said, "Jealous? Why would I be? My brother has plenty of women around him. Why would I be jealous of them? Can any woman compare to his own sister in his heart? I'm just baffled; my brother never liked your type before!"

Ellinor smiled subtly, "Why don't you ask your brother then? Ask him why he changed his attitude towards me. He dotes on you so much, so he’d definitely tell you!"
