The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 942

Theo, after drying his hair, walked over to the bed and sat down, catching a glimpse of a message from Bartlett on her phone.

He seemed a bit downcast and asked, "You still keep in touch with Bartlett privately?"

Ellinor raised her head to meet his gaze. "Not really. He occasionally hits me up, but I never respond."

Theo sounded a bit miffed. "When did you start saving his contact info?"

Ellinor had no intention of beating around the bush. She answered truthfully, "The day we took our wedding photos. When we got back from Pearl Moon, he sent me a friend request. I didn't accept it at first, but he kept sending it every day. Eventually, I felt bad for ghosting him and accepted."

Theo moved closer to her, gently ruffling her hair with his large hand. "Don't pay him any mind when I'm not around."

Ellinor blinked curiously. "I wasn't planning to! But isn't he your friend? Shouldn't I be polite to your friends?"

Theo gazed into her eyes. "You don't have to be polite to anyone on my account. If you want to deal with him, do it. If not, don't. It's your call."

Ellinor squinted her eyes. "So, you're not too keen on your buddy Bartlett? I heard you guys grew up together?"

"Even friends you grow up with can be close or distant.”

“Oh... So, you're closer with Jonah and Mr. Larios?”

Theo slightly furrowed his brow. "We should get some sleep now. Stop worrying about them."

With that, he dove under the covers, carrying a hint of shower gel scent.

Ellinor blushed, immediately feeling something was off. "Hold on, I haven't showered yet! I'll go shower now!"

He wrapped his arms around her, holding her tightly as if he couldn't get close enough. "No need for a shower. Let me hold you."
