The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 1722

Veronica had a sweet tooth, so whenever Moran asked her out, their meeting spot was always a dessert shop.

While indulging in their sweet treats, Veronica let out a wistful sigh, her face a picture of distress.

Moran couldn't help but ask what was going on after seeing her like this. "Why the long face? Is something bothering you?"

Veronica could barely taste her dessert. "It's just this thing between Ellinor and my brother. I'm worried."

Moran knew this was a matter of great concern to Veronica and comforted her. "I think you should trust that Ellinor can handle these situations. Your brother will return home safe and sound. He's been missing for so many years, yet he's still alive, which means there's no immediate danger to his life. Don't worry too much."

Veronica shook her head as she pursed her lips seriously. "I'm not even worried about that anymore. I'm more worried that Ellinor might fall for someone else."

Fall for someone else? Moran was taken aback, then burst into laughter. "You certainly don't need to worry about that. It's not going to happen."

Veronica furrowed her brows. "How can you be so sure?"

"I've known Ellinor for many years, and I know her character well. She's not the type to fall for a guy easily. Back in school, there were plenty of good-looking, successful guys who pursued her relentlessly, but Ellinor remained indifferent.

How could such a hard-to-impress person fall for someone else so easily? It's impossible!"

Veronica bit her spoon, feeling a bit uneasy. "So, you were one of those guys pursuing Ellinor, huh?"

Moran looked at her with an expression that showed his indifference towards the past. "Here you go again. Didn't I explain this to you before? Yes, I did have feelings for Ellinor, but I never acted on them. Before I had a chance to express my feelings, your brother had already won her over. And now, I've moved on. The one I like now is you."

Veronica felt a warmth spreading in her heart.
