The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 1229

Ellinor slapped Theo’s hand away, prompting an annoyed squint from him.

“Ellinor! Do you realize I…”

“Theo, heading for the bathroom too?” Sophia emerged from the restroom.

Theo’s words died on his lips.

Sophia slid up next to Ellinor, hooking arms with her nonchalantly. “Theo, I’ve already met Ms. Mendoza in the ladies’ room. Don’t worry, I’ll help her find Granny. Go on and do your thing!”

Theo shot Sophia an indifferent glance, said nothing more, and turned to enter the men’s restroom.

Once he was out of sight, Ellinor wiggled her arm free from Sophia’s grip, straightened her sleeve, and started striding away.

Sophia caught up with her. “Ellinor, seems like Theo cares about you, doesn't he?”

Ellinor snorted. “Does he?”

“Absolutely! I’ve known Theo for over 20 years, and I can tell when he’s got the hots for a girl. So cut him some slack, okay?”

Ellinor looked at Sophia with a skeptical gaze. “You, as Theo's legit wife, want me to make up with him?”

Sophia shrugged. “I was just honest with you about my feelings. I made it clear that I don't mind you and Theo temporarily making up. Did I say something that gave you the wrong idea? You walking out like this makes me look bad!”

Ellinor remained expressionless. “That’s sickening enough! You two are a match made in heaven! One pretends to be single and deceives others' feelings, even though he's married. The other plays the magnanimous wife, allowing her husband to hurt other women! You're both awful!”

Sophia laughed it off. “Oh, Ms. Mendoza, lighten up! Many girls wish they could get a chance to be hurt by Theo. And you even have his child. I think Theo is pretty good to you.”

Ellinor was about to throw up; her face was a picture of resignation. “Move!”

Sophia stood her ground. “No way! I already said that I can’t let you leave like this!”
