The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 1065

Ellinor didn't mention anything about Theo until the phone call ended, and Collin didn't bring up Theo's situation either.

Ellinor thought to herself that if Theo wanted her to know something, she would know it without having to ask anyone.

And since he didn't want her to know, there was no point in her prying into it. What a waste of time!

That night, Collin made a special trip to Ellinor's house to report the progress of the task she'd given him.

Due to the inconvenience of the bedroom, Ellinor invited Collin to talk in Theo's study.

In the study, Collin was respectful and serious. "You asked me to go to the Howard family’s mansion today to ask for Baber's custody, and I've done that."

Ellinor casually sat in Theo's computer chair, propping her forehead with one hand and tilting her head slightly, "How did that go?"

"The elders of the Howard family said that you had previously discussed the issue of Baber's custody with them, and they have seriously considered it. They think it's best if you and Mr. Blanchet raise Baber."

Ellinor raised an eyebrow, glancing at Collin, "Then why didn't you bring him here?"

Poor Baber was being used by Patricia when she adopted him, and was now being mistreated when she found out he was of no use. His situation was very similar to her own childhood.

Collin said helplessly, "Actually, the elders of the Howard family agreed to let you raise Baber, but now Xenia doesn't want to let go. She said that with Patricia arrested, Baber is her only comfort. If Baber leaves her, she doesn't want to live and even threatened to kill herself, not allowing anyone to take Baber away."

After hearing this, Ellinor couldn't help but chuckle coldly.

Now that Patricia couldn't play the role of a good mother anymore, was Xenia trying to play the good grandmother? When her daughter was abusing the child, where was she to protect Baber? Both mother and daughter were bad apples; there was not a decent one in the bunch.
