The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 885

"Theo, you're off work so early today?" Ellinor asked casually, without the usual formalities one would use with strangers.

"I finished my meeting and had nothing else to do, so I came to get you." Theo reached over to tuck a stray hair behind her ear and huffed, "You've been eating spicy food behind my back again, haven't you?"

Ellinor pouted, "I just can't resist!"

Moran watched this exchange with a sinking heart. He had no idea that Ellinor, the woman he had been crushing on, was already married.

He had thought that if he could just better himself and wait until after graduation, he could pour his heart out to her.

But now, she was someone else's wife.

As Moran sat back down, he laughed awkwardly, "Ellinor, when did you get married?"

Ellinor thought for a moment, "Just before graduation."

Strictly speaking, she and Theo were not really married then. They were just business partners.

But they were a real couple now, so they might as well count from then.

"I see..." Moran's heart sank. He didn't chatter on about the funny story he was just telling.

He wanted to leave, but saying it out loud felt awkward.

So he quietly ate for a while before getting up, "Thanks for having me. I'll treat you and some other classmates next time. I need to continue handing out flyers."

Ellinor nodded, then turned to Veronica, "Veronica, you've had enough to eat, right? Why don't you go help Moran with the flyers?"
