The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 849

He heaved a deep sigh, looking at Ellinor standing opposite him with a helpless tone, "Enough, Ellinor. Don't say anymore."

Ellinor glanced at Balfour nonchalantly and chuckled a bit, "Mr. Howard, are you being a protective big brother again?"

Balfour fell silent.

He was stuck between a rock and a hard place, unable to make a decision between his two sisters.

Xenia put on a show of being a concerned mother. She stepped forward to defend her daughter, "Ms. Mendoza, I admit I've wronged you today, but my daughter is innocent! You can't insult her like this. She's already pitiful enough for being unable to bear children at such a young age; how could you say such hurtful things to her?"

Ellinor turned to Xenia, "Yeah! Your daughter is already so pitiful; why would you let her drink so much saffron today? Who hurt her more, me or you?"

Xenia's face changed. She was at a loss for words.

Patricia turned her face away from Balfour, her eyes filled with tears as she said, "Ellinor, I know my mom did something today that hurt you and might have upset you.

But it was just a moment of recklessness; it won't happen again. If you have any complaints, vent them to me. If you don't think it's enough, would it be acceptable to you if I kneel down and apologize?"

Patricia really started to kneel down before Ellinor as she said this.

Ellinor immediately reached out to stop Patricia from kneeling and chuckled, "No need for this! I can't accept this kind of apology. Ms. Howard, I was just teasing you guys; why are you taking it so seriously? Why are you crying and kneeling?"

Patricia's face changed again; her heart was filled with anger, and her expression was extremely unnatural.
