The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 1717

His curiosity piqued, so he went to check on his younger siblings' progress, only to find unopened bags of snacks situated next to each of them.

The very same snacks that Mom had just told him were all gone.

Weren't they supposed to be out? Why did his brother and sister have fresh ones?

Did Mom not want him to eat them, choosing to keep them for his siblings instead?

He stared at the two bags of snacks with a heavy heart. He felt dejected, but he didn't exhibit any anger. He quietly turned around and left.

"Baber, where are you off to? Miss Ellinor was asking after you just now." The nanny, noticing him, inquired.

Baber answered listlessly. "I... I'm going to my room."

With that, he trudged off towards the nursery, his silhouette appearing lonesome.

The nanny, finding Baber's demeanor peculiar today but unable to figure out the reason, went back to her chores.

When Ellinor emerged from Marissa Blanchet's room, two hours had already passed.

Marissa hadn't asked her anything. She just rambled about her recent dreams, all of which were about Theo.

The elderly lady, missing her grandson, had a heart-to-heart with her granddaughter-in-law, both comforting each other.

Noticing that Marissa's complexion was off, Ellinor stayed back to give her a head massage, coaxing her to take a nap before she left.

Back in her room, Adrian and Layla were already asleep.

The nanny informed her that the pair had been practicing diligently and had fallen asleep due to exhaustion, so she had moved them to their beds.
