The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 1164

"Veronica, why aren't you getting some shut-eye and instead making a ruckus in your brother's room at this ungodly hour?"

Marissa's weary voice came out of nowhere, and she pushed the door open to investigate.

Worries about Ellinor kept her wide awake, and after hearing her granddaughter making a fuss, she decided to check up on her.

Veronica immediately rushed to her grandmother, "Granny, my brother brought a chick home and claims she's his good friend. I suggested she crash in the guest room, but she insisted on bunking in Theo and Ellinor's room. She said the vibe in the guest room was off, and it’d mess up her luck. Granny, don’t you think she's pushing it?"

Marissa gave a puzzled look in the direction Veronica pointed, her face a mix of confusion.

Sophia greeted Marissa with a warm smile, "Hello! I'm Sophia; sorry to disturb your rest!"

Marissa snapped back to reality and nodded, "Since you came back with Theo, make yourself at home. But this room is off-limits; if the guest room isn't up to your standards, you can stay in Veronica's room, and she can sleep in the guest room."

Sophia grinned, "Alright, thank you!"

Veronica wasn't thrilled, "Granny, why should she stay in my room? I don't want anyone sleeping in my room!"

Marissa gave her a stern look, "You need to learn some hospitality! She's your brother's friend, and she came all the way here; we should make sure she's comfortable. Go clear out your room for Ms. Sophia, and be quick!"

Veronica was baffled. Why was Granny siding with this stranger?

"Granny, Baber is still sleeping in my room! It took me forever to get him to sleep; we can't just wake him up again!"

Marissa replied, "Then don't wake Baber. Just gently move him to the guest room."

"Granny!"

"Do as you're told! Now!"
