The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 909

Back then, Ellinor had a nosebleed after drinking the nutritious soup that Marissa cooked.

Marissa felt a bit ashamed to be reminded of that embarrassing incident by her own grandson. She shot a glare at him, then offered a slightly guilty and worried smile to Ellinor.

"Ellinor, I swear I didn't mean to make you drink that much soup last time. I was just worried because you're so skinny. Having some once in a while won't do you any harm."

Ellinor nodded and smiled, "I know you mean well."

Marissa found her to be adorable, obedient, and understanding, which made her very fond of Ellinor. However, she wasn't as satisfied with Theo, and she frowned as she chided him, "Theo, what on earth have you been doing? Look at how skinny Ellinor has become!"

Theo, sitting next to Ellinor, took a good look at her and gently patted her head, "Yeah, she is too thin. Grandma's right, we should take better care of her!"

His touch was delicate, as if he were caressing a little kitten or puppy.

Then he leaned in and whispered, "Just taste the soup Grandma cooked for you later. If you don't want it, I'll drink it. Don't force yourself."

Ellinor nodded. She wasn't hungry at all and was worried about how she was going to handle Marissa's soup, so his offer was a relief.

However, their whispered conversation made Marissa very happy. She flashed a loving smile, sat next to her husband, and nudged his arm, "Look, Theo’s finally learning how to care for people!"

Putnam, a man of few words, watched Theo's gentle behavior towards Ellinor silently and did not respond.

Ellinor could feel that Putnam's gaze was always tinged with a certain complexity; clearly, he didn't share Marissa's fondness for her.

At dinner, Marissa still paid a lot of attention to Ellinor, constantly serving her food and urging her to eat more.

Ellinor was overwhelmed, but thankfully, Theo was attentive enough to eat all the food Marissa served her, solving her problem.
