The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 1662

If it hadn't been for McNeil's reckless antics years ago, his mother and sister wouldn't have been driven away. They wouldn't have had to endure such hardships!

Balfour tenderly placated his grandparents, but his tone carried a hint of sarcasm, "Dad has been doing just fine all these years. It makes no sense for him to suddenly go off the rails. Don't worry, I'll bring him back safe and sound."

Having said this, Balfour turned around to thank the policemen, who had been working tirelessly, before making his way upstairs with a serene demeanor.

Alyssa and Dean exchanged glances upon witnessing Balfour's nonchalance. A sense of guilt flashed in their eyes.

It was they who had driven Balfour's mother away all those years ago. Even though Balfour never mentioned it, they were certain he held a grudge against them as well.

McNeil had developed severe mental illness after the departure of Balfour's mother, and could only act normally with medication.

At that time, McNeil was in the prime of his life, but his mental illness had rendered him incapable of managing the company. Balfour, despite his tender age, had to step in and take over.

Come to think of it, all the misfortunes that befell their family began after the departure of Balfour's mother and sister!

After climbing the stairs, Balfour tossed his coat onto the sofa and dialed his wayward younger brother, Byran’s number.

Byran, who was enjoying his time with Ida, didn’t dare ignore his brother's call. Clearing his throat, he tried to sound as serious as possible, "Bro, what's up? It's late, I'm not coming home tonight!"

Balfour responded in a stern tone, "Get back here now!"

Byran was slightly taken aback, "What's the matter, Bro? I'm a grown man now. There's nothing wrong with spending the night out every once in a while, is there?"

Balfour retorted, "Our father is missing! Get back here and help look for him!"

Upon hearing this, Byran jumped up from the bed, "What?"

Balfour had no patience to explain further over the phone. "If I don't see you at home within half an hour, don't bother coming back ever!"
