The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 1845

Theo didn't hand it over. "No need; I'm not that weak. It's just a minor injury, so don't worry too much, darling. Let me recover a bit and redeem myself in front of Marlinie." He said in a stern voice.

Ellinor rolled her eyes. "Then go and impress my mom. Try to get her to like her future son-in-law."

Theo chuckled. "I'll do my best!"

...

Back in Marlinie's hospital room, Theo was again greeted by the attentive gazes of Marlinie, Bertha, and Lea.

Not for anything else, but because he had changed into a patient's gown.

What was going on?

Theo walked up gracefully and placed the gifts he was carrying down. "Madam, this is just a small token of my appreciation. I hope you won't find it insignificant."

Marlinie, reclining on her hospital bed, glanced at the gifts Theo had put down and immediately understood what the young man had been up to since his earlier departure.

He had gone to buy gifts.

"You're too courteous, dear! You didn't have to go out of your way to buy these, really!"

Theo responded humbly. "You're the one who's too kind for being so forgiving and generous. As your son-in-law, I can't be ungrateful."

Every time she heard Theo refer to himself as 'son-in-law' in front of her mother, Ellinor couldn't help but want to laugh.

Who knew that Theo could be so well-mannered and eager to impress?

And when she remembered that this side of Theo was only because of her, Ellinor couldn't help but feel a sweet sensation in her heart.
