The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 1480

Ellinor noticed that the child seemed a bit off. She crouched down to make eye contact with him and asked gently, "What's wrong, honey?"

Tristan looked worried. "Mommy, didn't you say you were going to ground me when we got home? I'm scared..."

Ellinor was taken aback for a moment, then she burst out laughing.

Tristan was puzzled by Ellinor's sudden laughter. He blinked his big, bright eyes, looking at her with confusion.

Despite not understanding why she was laughing, Tristan thought that Ellinor's smile was beautiful, sweet, and adorable.

Ellinor picked up the child and gently cradled him. "Silly boy! Mommy was just upset. You really think I'd punish you?"

Relieved, Tristan rested his head on Ellinor's shoulder quietly.

He had thought that she would spank him for running around.

The little guy snuggled into Ellinor. "Mommy, I wish I could stay with you forever and never leave."

But he knew he would eventually have to go back to his dad.

Ellinor found his sentiment amusing and a little strange. She ruffled his hair. "Silly boy, of course you can always stay with Mommy. But once you get married, you might think Mommy is a nuisance."

Tristan looked at her with a serious and determined expression. "I won't get married. I don't like wives!"

Ellinor laughed at his naivety. "Are you sure? You might change your mind when you meet a girl you like."

Tristan pouted and shook his head forcefully. "No way!"

The little boy didn't quite understand what a wife was yet.

Veronica approached and lightly pinched Adrian's nose. "You're going to grow up to be a mama's boy."
