The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 1743

After glancing at her phone, Ellinor saw that it was a call from the director of her kids’ preschool.

Concerned about her children, Ellinor answered immediately. "Hello, Director. What's the matter?"

On the other end of the line, the director's voice was fraught with urgency. "Mrs. Blanchet, I need you to come to the preschool right away! Your son, Baber, has hit another child, and their parents are here and demanding to see you!"

"What?" Ellinor jumped to her feet, unable to believe that her normally well-behaved son, Baber, would resort to violence. Calming herself, she replied, "Alright, Director. I'm on my way."

After hanging up the phone, she left the dining table without a word to Bartlett and rushed out.

"Ellinor, where are you going? What's wrong?" Bartlett, realizing something was wrong, attempted to follow her but was halted by the waitress with the bill. By the time he managed to leave the restaurant, Ellinor was nowhere to be seen.

...

Preschool.

Ellinor instructed her chauffeur to stop and drove herself to the preschool, reaching it in just fifteen minutes. Her heart was pounding with worry for Baber.

Baber had always been considerate and polite. He was friendly towards all his classmates. What could have provoked him into hitting another child?

The parents were not satisfied. "That's not good enough! My son, who I don't even lay a hand on, has been beaten up in your preschool. Unless the parents of that child come and apologize to my son, this matter isn't over!"

They continued as tears welled up in their eyes. "Our son has always been well-behaved. Nobody has ever laid a finger on him. And now, look at him! Director, how could you dare say that this Baber is well-behaved? Could a well-behaved child do this to another child? And you even made such a violent child a class leader. What were you thinking?”

The director, at a loss, continued apologizing. Just as she didn’t know what to do next, she spotted Ellinor at the door.

Rushing over like she had found her lifeline, she said, “Mrs. Blanchet, I’m glad you’re here. Please have Baber apologize to the child he hit. Look, he even drew blood. His parents are really upset.”
