The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 1377

In the restaurant, the moment she stepped into the private room and saw Theo already seated there, her brows furrowed in an instant.

"Why the heck is he here?"

She asked Balfour, who was beside her, in a somewhat disgruntled tone, blaming him for not letting her know in advance that Theo would be there.

Balfour could tell that Ellinor was ticked off, but it was something he had anticipated, so he gently explained, "He's the one footing the bill today. Ellinor, Mr. Blanchet is heading abroad for a bit. He’s here to say goodbye."

Hearing this, a strange feeling arose within Ellinor. He was going abroad again?

Her smile was tinged with sarcasm. Her chest felt stuffy and uncomfortable.

Theo slowly got up and came over, pulling out a chair for her himself. "You wish I'd never come back, don't you?"

Ellinor snorted, "Do I even have a say in your travel plans?"

Theo didn't rush to make excuses; he simply pointed to the chair he had pulled out with his chin. "Sit."

Without any fuss, Ellinor went over and sat down.

At this moment, Byran leaned in and asked, "Theo, which state are you heading off to this time? How long before you're back?"

Theo answered Byran, "M State. I'll be back in three days, barring any unforeseen circumstances."

Ellinor took a sip of the lemon water on the table. She was lost in thought and didn't speak anymore.

Theo raised his hand again, inviting Balfour and Byran to sit down as well, and only then did he pull out the chair next to Ellinor and sit down.

The group discussed and ordered their dishes. Ellinor didn't utter a word throughout; the ordering was done by Theo and Balfour.

It was only when the food arrived that Ellinor finally lifted her head. She had been deep in thought. Who knew what she was pondering?
