The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 1819

After putting the three kids to bed following their evening bath, Ellinor found herself exhausted. She leaned against the bedpost and absentmindedly scrolled through her phone.

Bertha had sent her a message earlier in the evening, updating her on Marlinie’s new hospital and room number.

However, the message she’d sent to that man remained unanswered.

Playing the disappearing act again, was he?

Ellinor sighed, feeling worn out by these games of hide and seek. They were tiresome and draining.

Feeling weary, she decided to call it a night.

Tomorrow morning, she needed to take the kids to the preschool to process their withdrawal. After what happened with Baber, Ellinor had no intention of sending her children back there.

It was disheartening to see her children being used as pawns in this game of rumor-mongering. Too many whispers were circulating about Baber's biological parents.

Rumors were a beast impossible to tame.

She decided to withdraw them from the preschool, let them rest at home for a while, and then find another preschool.

The following morning, after breakfast, Ellinor and the kids left the house.

There was a balloon vendor near the preschool entrance who bore a striking resemblance to the figure she had seen the previous day near the Mendoza family home.

Subconsciously, Ellinor led the kids around the balloon vendor and into the preschool.

She had their respective teachers help them pack up their personal belongings, then she went to see the Director, Jessica, to finalize her kids’ withdrawal.

Jessica was oblivious to Ellinor's real identity and offered only polite platitudes. She didn’t make any real effort to retain them, probably not wanting to offend the other child's more affluent parents.
