The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 1699

Ellinor sat in the car Balfour had sent for her to take her back to the Blanchet Villa, leaning against the window in solitary thought.

Balfour glanced at his sister and asked,"How's Theo holding up?"

Ellinor replied with a tired tone, "He's doing fine. It was nothing serious."

Balfour grunted in response,

"When do you plan to make your move?"

"Soon."

Byran dragged Ida back to his father's sickroom. Originally, Ida was going to leave the hospital with Ellinor, but Byran made a scene in the hospital lobby, pestering her relentlessly.

She couldn’t deal with the embarrassment, so she reluctantly followed him back.

It was awkward.

McNeil had already returned to his sickbed. After seeing the two of them return together, he quickly sat up and smiled at his future daughter-in-law.

Ida had never engaged in such erratic behavior, but since she had already followed the rascal back, she needed a plausible explanation to give to the elder man.

“Mr. Howard, I heard you were quite interested in Ellinor's situation. Byran told me you were not in the best mood today and only wanted to hear about Ellinor. Since I grew up with Ellinor, you can ask me anything you want to know about her. Perhaps it might lighten your mood.”

Sorry, Boss. Using you as a conversation topic was the only way to ease the awkwardness. Ida silently apologized.
