The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 1481

Ha! This was nothing short of absurd.

Three years ago, Theo snuck into the maternity ward to steal away a child from Ellinor, all for the sake of starting a family with Sophia? Had they been living this shameless charade ever since?

Balfour, his gaze as deep as the ocean, gave an order. "Quinton, guard the front door. Keep a keen eye on the peephole. If anyone comes in or out, report it to me immediately."

"Yes, Mr. Howard." Quinton accepted the order, promptly turning to stand by the flat's entrance. He watched the peephole without a moment of laxity.

Balfour rubbed his temples as his gaze turned pensive.

He hardly cared if Theo was alive or dead.

What mattered to him from the very beginning was his sister.

If Theo had deliberately stolen a child from Ellinor and abandoned everything to be with Sophia...

How could Ellinor face the truth?

What did her waiting, searching, and hoping for the past three years amount to?

She would be devastated.

If Theo truly betrayed Ellinor, it would be better if he were dead. At least in death, Ellinor's pure heart wouldn't be so thoroughly wounded.

And as long as Theo's death wasn't confirmed, a glimmer of hope would still reside in Ellinor's heart. Perhaps after a few years, she could entirely forget this love.

...

Meanwhile, inside the flat across the street.

Sophia received a phone call from the auction house, asking her to verify her identity. They claimed a client had questioned if she was the daughter of the owner of Blue River Estates and had manipulated the auction by hyping up the price.
