The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 1459

Suddenly, they heard a knock at the door.

Aunt Veronica's voice echoed through the hallway. "Baber, Tristan, Layla, it’s dinner time. Tonight, we have your favorite barbecue ribs!"

Baber's eyes lit up at the sound of barbecue ribs. He grabbed Tristan's hand and excitedly said, "Come on, little bro! Let's go get those barbecue ribs!"

Tristan looked at Baber, then at Layla.

He still didn't know how to respond to Layla. He hesitated to admit that he wasn't her brother because he was afraid that if he were found out, he'd be sent back home before he had the chance to enjoy himself.

So, he didn't answer Layla's question and followed his big brother, Baber, to open the door for Aunt Veronica and head downstairs for dinner.

Veronica watched the two boys rush off, shaking her head and muttering, "Slow down, kids. The ribs aren't going anywhere."

The boys had disappeared downstairs.

Veronica turned to Layla, who was still sitting calmly on the side of the bed. She couldn't help but feel that no matter the age, girls were always more poised and elegant than boys.

"Layla, where's your mom?"

Layla hugged her doll and pointed towards the bathroom. "Mommy's still in there."

Veronica entered the room and peeked into the bathroom to find Ellinor gathering the kids' dirty clothes, preparing to hand them over to the housemaid for cleaning.

"Ellinor, let's eat!"

Ellinor emerged from the bathroom, holding the pile of clothes. "Alright, let's go."

Veronica glanced at the clothes in Ellinor's hands and noticed something odd. "Huh? Whose shirt is this?"
