The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 1557

Balfour gave her a nod. "That's right. I've asked a friend to arrange a time for me to fly over to M State to see her. I came here to ask if you want to come along."

Without a second thought, Ellinor nodded. "Yes!"

She paused, as if something sprang to mind, and she hesitated.

Balfour noticed her worry and patted her head gently. "Worried about the kids at home?"

Ellinor sighed and nodded. "Taking them along would be inconvenient, but leaving them behind is worrisome. And now..."

She trailed off, but Balfour knew why.

Because that man who disappeared for three years had resurfaced, she feared that she might miss him again if she left.

"If you're worried, stay here. I'll go over and take a look. Perhaps she's not our mother." Balfour comforted her as he patted her on the head.

Ellinor looked at Balfour. She undoubtedly wanted to go, regardless of the outcome; she wanted to meet that art teacher.

"Can we invite the art teacher to come here instead? I can cover her travel expenses."

Balfour shook his head. "My friend told me that she wouldn't agree to travel abroad or meet strangers. If we want to arrange a meeting, we can't tell her in advance. Otherwise, she wouldn't show up."

Ellinor frowned. "Then..."

Balfour understood her dilemma. "Alright, if you're torn, don't go. I'll go first, and no matter the outcome, I'll bring back a photo of her, okay?"

Ellinor considered this for a moment. "Let me think about it. When are you planning to leave for M State?"

"Early tomorrow."
