The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 1450

Gathered on a picnic blanket with three children, Ellinor enjoyed the sweet treats and sushi Marissa had made for their lunch.

A little distance away, Moran and Veronica were engaged in a deep conversation. Having just cleared the air about something, both were a tad bit shy.

Baber's face was smeared with sushi sauce. Ellinor handed him a napkin. "Eat slowly. Don't choke."

Baber nodded obediently.

Adrian, on the other hand, had his eyes glued to the Mechanical Hero Kite soaring above them. Seeing the kite drift off, he hastily crammed the remaining sushi into his mouth and stood up. "Mommy, I'm full! I'm going over to Aunt Veronica!"

Ellinor turned to her youngest. "Run slowly. Be careful not to trip!"

Adrian nodded and scampered off towards Veronica.

Ellinor watched as Adrian reached Veronica before she turned back to Baber and Layla, offering them some water from the bottle to prevent any choking incidents.

Baber and Layla were behaving beautifully, quietly eating their lunch by her side.

Ellinor occasionally glanced towards Veronica, keeping an eye on Adrian.

Initially, everything seemed fine, with Adrian staying close to Veronica and watching the kite. However, when she looked again, Adrian was nowhere to be seen.

Ellinor felt a sudden chill as she stood up and began looking around.

"Veronica, where's Adrian?"

Hearing Ellinor's voice, Veronica, who was engrossed in conversation with Moran, looked around in surprise. "Adrian? He was just here watching the kite."
