The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 878

Bartlett leaned in with his handsome face, "Help me shake off this blind date without offending her family."

Ellinor frowned, not hiding the displeasure in her eyes, "If you think she's not suitable, just tell her directly so nobody's wasting time! Why are you pretending to be all gentlemanly? You’re bringing her to buy bags and making her think you like her too!"

Bartlett shrugged, "I did tell her, but she insists that feelings can be developed over time. We've eaten and seen a movie; I really have no idea what else to do with her. I offered to take her home, but she refused, so here I am, dragged along on her shopping spree. Ellinor, you're always the smart one; can you help me out?"

Ellinor took a sip of her coffee, surveying Bartlett, who had a hint of worry in his eyes.

With Bartlett's good looks and privileged background, it was hard for girls not to fall for him. If a girl set her sights on him, she was likely to hold on tight.

In their social circles, the partners their families arranged for them were always well-matched. Whether things worked out or not was not just their business, but a matter between two families.

It was not easy to handle such situations. If not handled well, it could lead to grudges, making it hard to explain to their families.

Ellinor responded lazily, "I'll give it a shot!"

Bartlett beamed, "Thanks a lot!"

Bartlett's blind date, probably not trusting her potential beau alone with another pretty girl, came back soon after.

The girl was carrying a new bag, with two shop assistants trailing behind her with smiles.

"Bartlett, how do you think this bag looks on me?"

Bartlett looked up and nodded with his usual smile, "Hmm, it looks pretty good."
