The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 1656

"Lea, go and pick a guest room for yourself. This house belongs to a friend of mine. Though they're not currently living here, we must respect their belongings and only occupy one room."

Lea, always understanding, nodded and then asked, "Mom, what about my books and homework? They're still at that hotel, right?"

Bertha sighed, "We'll figure out how to get them in a few days."

"Okay!"

Lea obediently headed off to pick her room.

After Lea left the room, Bertha sat alone on the couch, pondering over her marriage with Thaddeus. Suddenly, her mind drifted to the lady who had helped her today.

That lady, Ellinor, was quite unique. No wonder Marcus, even with his amnesia, didn't fall for Sophia. Sophia was simply too selfish compared to Ellinor.

Moreover, Bertha couldn't shake the feeling that Ellinor looked a bit like...

Speak of the devil, her phone rang!

Bertha's train of thought was interrupted by her ringtone. She pulled out her phone and saw that it was her best friend.

Upon answering, the anxious voice of her friend Marlinie came through, "Bertha, where are you? Thaddeus is looking for you. He even called me!"

Bertha had already guessed that Marlinie was calling because of Thaddeus, who she didn't want to talk about at the moment.

"I'm fine. I’m staying at a friend's house in Greenhaven. Don't worry, Marlinie, and please don't tell him about it."

Hearing that Bertha was safe, Marlinie let out a sigh of relief, "What happened? You two had another fight? You were just fine when we talked earlier, how did you run away with Lea again?"

Bertha replied, "Let's not talk about him. It just makes me angry."

Marlinie said, "Alright then! It's good for you and Lea to have some peace, but please be careful, okay?"
