The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 1640

Ellinor looked at Lea with a sense of intrigue. "Hmm? What are you talking about? What's different?"

Lea's face was a mix of surprise and admiration. "Marcus' attitude towards you is totally different from the way he treats Sophia."

This topic seemed to pique Ellinor's interest. She propped her cheek on her hand and raised an eyebrow. "Oh? Really? How so? Do tell, I'm listening."

Marcus felt like slamming his fist on the table. If only he could stand up, he'd have scooped up this little chatterbox and sent her on her way.

"Ellinor, you..."

"Shh!" Ellinor held a finger up to her lips, signaling for Marcus to hush up and be patient. She then turned her attention back to Lea. "Go on. Continue with what you were saying."

Lea was more than happy to chat with Ellinor and obediently continued. "Marcus seems very concerned and attentive towards you, while he's quite indifferent to Sophia. He hardly ever initiates conversation with her, and his responses to her are quite cold. I don't know why she insists on keeping a man who clearly doesn't love her around."

Ellinor seemed satisfied with this answer. "Indeed! Why does she keep a man who doesn't love her around? Does she enjoy being the one always making the effort?"

Lea shrugged. "Who knows?! It's just self-sabotaging, if you ask me."

Ellinor chuckled. "She's your sister, yet it seems like you despise her more than I do."

The mere mention of Sophia made Lea feel repulsed. She made no effort to hide her disdain. "Yes, I really can't stand her! Every time our father loses his temper, it's because of her. Every time our parents argue, it's due to her instigating. Ever since I was little, I've wondered how such a vile person like her could actually exist! It's embarrassing having her as a sister!

Ellinor, I wish you were my sister."

A thin smile appeared on Ellinor’s face. "You're quite young, yet you see things so clearly. You even noticed Sophia's instigating."

Lea sighed. "I learned it the hard way. My parents used to argue because of Sophia all the time. Four years ago, my mom almost died in a car accident, and you saved her. Sophia caused that entire incident. She caused my mom to be falsely accused and made us run away from home."
