The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 871

Ellinor cocked an eyebrow, "Theo, Rome wasn't built in a day, ya know. Your sister turned out this way because you and your folks spoiled her silly when she was a kid. You can't just kick her to the curb. Maybe you should have some patience, go a few rounds with her, and let her figure things out so she can change on her own."
