The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 1295

Sophia's voice came through, sounding a little anxious. "Collin, why can't I get through to Theo? Are you guys home yet?"

Collin responded. "Yeah, he's already knocked out."

Sophia sounded puzzled. "He's asleep? Then why isn't his phone connecting?"

Collin answered as instructed by his boss. "Maybe his phone died and shut down automatically. Don't worry, Ms. Sophia, he's alright."

"Alright, as long as he's fine. I'll try to reach him in the morning then."

After hanging up with Sophia, Collin turned to Theo and reported. "Mr. Blanchet, all sorted with Ms. Sophia."

"Uh-huh." Theo responded absentmindedly.

Collin thought for a bit and then said, "Mr. Blanchet, I heard Ellinor seems to have made herself at home with the Howard family. Do you want me to go get her back?"

Theo squinted slightly while looking at the sleeping Ellinor on his phone screen. "No need; she's safe with the Howard family. Let her decide."

He had noticed during the video call that her room wasn't the one she used to stay in.

Ellinor wasn't ready to come home with him yet; letting her brother Balfour take care of her for a while put his mind at ease.

...

Theo returned to the Blanchet villa, and as soon as he walked in, he saw Marissa Blanchet sitting in the living room, looking worried.

He took off his coat and walked over. "Grandma, why aren't you in bed yet?"

Marissa snapped back to reality, looked up at Theo, and smelled alcohol on him. "Theo, have you been drinking again?"

Theo looked seriously at Marissa. "Grandma, I promise she's fine. I'll bring her back home. Don't worry yourself and go to bed."

Marissa sighed deeply. "Theo, I know Sophia's been a great help to our family, but you need to draw a line between men and women. You should repay their kindness, resolve these issues quickly, and keep a proper distance from Sophia. Only then will probably Ellinor be willing to come back home, and she won't misunderstand you anymore!"

Theo understood her and nodded. "Yeah, I got it."

Seeing that Theo took her words to heart, Marissa didn't say anymore. She got up and let the maid help her back to her room.

After Marissa left, Theo leaned his head on the sofa, rubbing his temples.

Suddenly, he noticed a movement in the corner.

Theo's eyes narrowed. "Who's there? Show yourself!"
