The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 906

Ellinor kept her poker face, showing no reaction to Putnam and Marissa's recent conversation. She replied with a smile, "I just went out for a chat with friends. Granny, I didn't know you and Grandpa were coming back today, or I would have stayed home to wait for you."

Marissa shook her head, "It's fine, Ellinor. Your grandfather and I decided to come back today on a whim. We didn't inform you in advance; even Theo doesn't know that we're back yet.

By the way, you must be tired after going out. Go upstairs and rest, when Theo comes back, I'll cook something delicious for you two!"

Ellinor nodded, "Alright, thanks, Granny."

She was indeed a bit tired; ever since she got pregnant, her energy levels had dropped a bit.

Marissa suggested she go upstairs to rest, and she didn't refuse.

Although she should've stayed downstairs with the newly-arrived elders, she felt that Marissa didn't really want her to stick around.

As she walked up the stairs, Ellinor glanced back and saw Marissa walk up to Putnam, give him a light pat, and whisper something in his ear, as if she were telling him to zip it.

Ellinor's gaze darkened. She turned away and headed back to her room.

It looked like the Blanchet family’s situation wasn't as simple as it seemed, and the reason why Theo didn't want to marry her wasn't simple either.

Once in her room, Ellinor felt tired. She wanted to sleep but tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

After who knew how long, the bedroom door was pushed open, and a man came in.

After he saw Ellinor laying on the bed with closed eyes, he walked over to tuck her in, but perhaps he was too abrupt because she suddenly opened her eyes.

Theo was taken aback when he noticed that Ellinor was awake. He then sat by the bed, asking softly, "Did I wake you?"
