The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 1449

"Mommy has a man she fancies. Because of this man, she can't date anyone else."

Layla curiously inquired. "Who is this man Mommy likes? Where is he? Why doesn't he come and date Mommy?"

Ellinor was speechless.

Every child seemed to be a never-ending book of questions, didn't they?

If anyone else asked her this question, she wouldn't think about answering it. But for her own daughter, she couldn't ignore it.

With a sigh, Ellinor responded. "The man Mommy likes is away dealing with some matters. When he returns, he'll naturally be there to date Mommy."

Layla posed another question. "Is the man Mommy likes Daddy?"

Caught off guard, Ellinor candidly nodded at her daughter. "Yes, the man Mommy likes is indeed your Daddy!"

But this didn't please Layla, who pouted unhappily. "I don't like Daddy!"

Confused, Ellinor asked, "Huh? Why don't you like Daddy? You've never even met him."

With a huff, Layla retorted. "That's exactly why I don't like him. In fairy tales, the prince always shows up to rescue the princess when she needs him most, even bravely fighting dragons for her. But Daddy has never been there for Mommy. Daddy doesn't like Mommy. So, I don't like him either!"

The logic of a child could sometimes be amusingly baffling, yet somehow it also struck a chord in Ellinor's heart.

"Before you were born, he would always show up when Mommy needed him and protect me." Ellinor said, her voice heavy with emotion.
