The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 1168

Theo pulled up to Chase's apartment.

Although it was called Chase's apartment, it was actually shared between Ellinor, Chase, and Ida.

Last time, after Ellinor left the Blanchet household, Theo found her holed up here.

The moment Theo stepped out of the elevator, he started hammering on the door like a madman. When no one answered, he got antsy and kept banging away.

Thankfully, the building was designed so each elevator served only one unit; otherwise, the neighbors would've been onto him for the racket he was making.

Eventually, after Theo's relentless assault, the door swung open.

Chase, decked out in his pajamas and sleepy-eyed, ran his fingers through his hair and asked, "Mr. Blanchet, why are you here this late instead of catching some Z's at home?"

Without changing his expression, Theo cut to the chase. "Where's Ellinor? Get her out here now!"

Chase, nonchalantly, shrugged his shoulders, spread his hands, and said, "Mr. Blanchet, your guys have already searched my car. Why are you still hounding me? I actually wanna know where you stashed her."

Ignoring Chase, Theo barged right into their place.

"Ellinor, come out!"

Chase followed him in, frowning and clearly miffed. "Mr. Blanchet, do you realize you're trespassing? I could call the cops, you know!"

Theo ignored him. He made a beeline for the room where he'd last seen Ellinor packing, knocked, and, without waiting for a reply, barged right in.
