The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 1533

Ellinor nodded. She watched him drive away, then she carried her son and entered the Blanchet family's door.

As soon as she entered, she bumped into Veronica, who was sneaking around near the front door.

Veronica emerged from behind an old tree, frowning as she asked, "Sis, weren't you supposed to be out with Belinda? How come it was the guy from the Rex family who brought you home? Do you usually keep in touch with him?"

Ellinor glanced towards the garden. Sure enough, Baber and Layla were flying something. When she looked up at the sky, she was surprised by the kite's design.
