The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 1531

Ellinor recalled that when they first arrived at Dr. Callum's place, they were informed by his housekeeper that he was upstairs meeting with a friend.

With that, she temporarily put her suspicions about Bartlett to rest. "So, you're friends with Dr. Callum too?"

Bartlett, with his devilishly handsome face, gave a charming smile. "Well, I'm quite popular. I have friends all over the world."

Ellinor scoffed, pulling a face. "Clearly."

Bartlett jingled the car keys in his hand. "Let's go. I'll give you a lift."

Ellinor glanced around the quiet surroundings. There was not a single taxi in sight. She looked at her son, still a little bewildered from their recent reunion, and, after some consideration, decided to accept Bartlett's offer.

"That would be much appreciated, Mr. Rex."

Bartlett sighed in a slightly annoyed manner. "Ellinor, considering our relationship, you really shouldn't be so formal with me."

Ellinor gave him a sidelong glance. "Even though we are friends, it's best to maintain some formality. I wouldn't want to give people the wrong idea."

"Fair enough." Bartlett responded, though secretly wishing for such misunderstandings.
