The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 510

Baber reached out his arms to the man, mumbling something that sounded like "Daddy."

The guests began to whisper among themselves.

"Is that Patricia's and Mr. Blanchet's child she's holding?"

"I think so; the kid looks a lot like Patricia!"

"Are they still not married? How come they already have a kid?"

"What's the big deal? Mr. Blanchet and Patricia have been together for a while, but just because their parents don’t approve, they haven't tied the knot! But they're so lovey-dovey, it was only a matter of time before they had a kid, right?"

"Wow, Baber is so cute!"

Listening to the chatter, Ellinor felt a bit out of place and backed away a bit more.

Balfour also seemed to think she was out of place and he beckoned her over in a low voice, "Ms. Mendoza, come over here; let's go."

Finally, she could leave. Ellinor breathed a sigh of relief and obediently walked towards her boss, Balfour.

"Alright, Mr. Howard."

Haillie, however, reluctantly blocked Balfour's way, "Balfour, you're leaving so early?"

Balfour replied, "Yeah, you stay here and keep Patricia company for me."

"Okay, don't worry, Balfour, I will!" Haillie nodded readily but shot a meaningful glance at Ellinor.

Ellinor didn't take Haillie's look to heart and followed Balfour out of the noisy banquet hall.

Bartlett watched Ellinor's retreating figure as he took a sip of his red wine.
