The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 1056

"Thanks." Ida flashed a small smile, gently lifting his chin to examine the young boy's face, "Are you the rumored bashful kid? Do you always blush so easily? How adorable!"

Byran's face turned a bright shade of red as his chin was lifted. He quickly batted her hand away, "What... What are you doing?!"

Ida chuckled softly, taking her gold-rimmed glasses from him and putting them on before sitting down, "What? Did I say something wrong? You're not a kid? Then why are you blushing?"

Feeling embarrassed and humiliated, Byran retorted, "Why are you so blunt? Don't you have any sense of shame?!"

Ida let out a soft laugh, "I've been through a lot; what's there to be shy about? If you don't want to be teased, stay away from me!"

Byran frowned and was rendered speechless; he really couldn’t comprehend her.

He had never met such a straightforward woman; she was seemingly casual yet distant.

Finally, Byran managed to speak, "You're a real straight shooter, huh?"

Ida laughed again, "That’s the first time a man has described me like that; it’s quite amusing!"

Byran fell silent.

This woman was not only blunt but also shameless. She was absolutely brazen! He couldn't stand her at all!

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

Both Ida and Byran turned their heads to see a man slightly pushing the door open, asking courteously, "May I come in?"

Byran instantly recognized the man and walked over to open the door for him. He surprisedly asked, "Bartlett, what brings you here?"
