The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 971

After calming down, Ellinor took Theo's hand and sat back on the couch, curiously asking, "Mr. Howard, you don't live here. Why would you have a dog in this house?"

Balfour petted the dog's head, "It's not mine."

Ellinor was slightly surprised, "This is your house, but the dog isn't yours?"

Balfour patiently explained, "A friend of mine went abroad. She couldn't take her dog with her, so she left it here for me to take care of for a while. Someone comes to walk and feed the dog every day. I just drop by occasionally."

To Ellinor, Balfour was a man with strong class consciousness who always put his interests first when dealing with others. Would he agree to help others take care of a dog?

Ellinor's curiosity was piqued, "Is this friend a guy or a girl?"

Caught off guard by her question, Balfour paused, then laughed, "You're interested in my personal life now?"

Frowning, Ellinor popped open a drink, "Just asking. If you don't want to answer, then don't!"

Balfour honestly replied, "A female friend."

Ellinor squinted, "What's your relationship? Lovers?"

Balfour shook his head, "No, just ordinary friends."

Ellinor snorted, "I don't believe you."
