The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 1421

After lunch, Ida went out to take a call again, leaving her alone in the hospital room.

Knock, knock!

The sound echoed through the quiet hospital room.

Ellinor knew that Ida wouldn’t knock when entering. Her eyes lit up with anticipation as she called out, "Come in!"

Bartlett came in, carrying a basket full of fine food delicacies. His handsome face was adorned with a warm smile. "Ellinor, it's been a while. Congratulations on the birth of your twins."

Seeing that it was Bartlett who came in, the light in Ellinor's eyes dimmed a little, and she forced a small smile. "Um, thank you."

Bartlett set the basket of food aside and walked over to her bedside.

"I've been quite busy recently, and I thought you still had some time before your due date, so I didn't want to disturb you. As soon as I had some free time, I gave Balfour a call, only to hear that you had already given birth, so I rushed over to see you."

Despite it all, Bartlett had always been considerate towards her, so Ellinor nodded appreciatively. "You’ve gone through a lot of trouble. You didn't have to come and see me, let alone bring such valuable gifts."

"How could I come empty-handed?" Bartlett chuckled, then looked around and asked, "Where's Theo? Why isn't he here with you?"

Ellinor fell silent.

After seeing her silence, Bartlett seemed to have guessed something. "Ahem… I must say, it's not like Theo to miss something as important as the birth of his children. No matter how busy he is, he should have prioritized this."

Ellinor didn't want to talk about that man now. It would just ruin her mood.

"Mr. Rex, there's some bottled water over there. Feel free to help yourself. I'm not in a position to entertain you at the moment."

Bartlett laughed. "It's fine. I'm not thirsty."

With nothing else to say, Ellinor turned her gaze towards the window, watching as a plane trailed a long white line across the blue sky.
