The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 1585

So what if they were seen dining together?

Ellinor's irritation grew as she mulled over his words. "So, you thought I was on a date with another man and decided not to interrupt, hoping I'd develop feelings for him?"

Marcus fell silent for a few seconds. "I'm now a disabled man. How could I stand in the way of your pursuit of happiness?"

Ellinor's face darkened. She glared at him and snapped. "Theo, what in God's green earth did I do in my past life to deserve you?"

Upon hearing her call him Theo, Marcus felt a familiar pain in his heart.

"I'm sorry I couldn't make you happy."

Ellinor placed her hands around his neck, exerting some pressure. "I should just strangle you!"

Marcus closed his eyes, not resisting her grip.

Ellinor didn't continue her assault but instead looked at Marcus' serene face. She stared at the man she hadn't seen in three years, who no longer remembered her, and she felt a lump form in her throat.

Suddenly, Marcus felt her breath hitch. He opened his eyes and found her face inches away from his. He was startled.

In that moment, he understood why his past self had fathered three children with this petite woman.

She was indeed very beautiful. She was like a pixie.

Ellinor despised him, yet she couldn't bring herself to harm him. She couldn't control her desire to see and be close to him.

She even felt grateful that he was still alive, even if he didn't remember her and even with his physical disabilities.

As long as he was alive, it was a blessing.
