The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 27

After an intimate moment, Ellinor instantly pushed Theo away.

With a heart full of joy, she took the painting from Collin, tucked it under her arm, and walked away. After a few steps, she turned back, winked, and gave Theo a thumbs up, "Mr. Blanchet, thank you! You're looking sharp today!"

Theo gazed at her meaningfully.

So, she only thought he was handsome when she got gifts?

Watching Ellinor trot happily into the yard, Collin couldn't help but smile, "Mr. Blanchet, Ms. Mendoza is quite endearing, isn't she?"

Theo shot Collin a cold look, "Are you still staring?"

Startled, Collin looked away, "Mr. Blanchet, where are you headed next?"

"Work." Theo said.

"Right!" Collin said.

The next day.

While enjoying a nutritious lunch prepared by Marissa, Ellinor received a call from Belinda.

"Ellinor!" Belinda said.

Ellinor didn't have Belinda's number, but she recognized her voice, "How did you get my number?"

"I asked Theo for it!" Belinda said.

Ellinor was even more confused, "How does he have my number?"

"He's your husband. Is it strange that he has your number?" Belinda asked.

"Hmm, fair point!" Ellinor said.

"What are you doing? If you're free, come have a drink with me!" Belinda said.

Ellinor frowned, "Why do you want to drink?"

Belinda's voice was tinged with a reckless drunkenness, "I'm a broken-hearted woman, I need to vent! Come find me. I'm bored alone!"

Just as she hung up, she received a text from Belinda with the address of a bar.

Overnight, Belinda had dyed her hair pink and was dancing wildly in the club. Was this what a broken-hearted woman supposed to be?

"Dear Ellinor! You're here! Let's have fun together!" Upon seeing her, Belinda ran over, hugged her, and tried to drag her to the dance floor.

But Ellinor didn't want to dance, "Let's go! I'll take you home!"

Belinda pouted, "I don't want to go home, it's boring!"

It took some effort for Ellinor to get her to sit down and rest for a while. Then she ordered a juice.

But Belinda didn't like juice. She downed a glass of alcohol instead, "Ellinor, I have great news for you. Connor's hand is injured!"

Ellinor raised an eyebrow, "What happened?"

Belinda gave a bitter smile, her expression complicated, "I heard he was attacked on his way home last night. Both his hands were injured and even if they heal, he won't be able to use them like before. His life is ruined!"

Ellinor was slightly puzzled.

Suddenly, Belinda frowned, pointed upstairs and shrieked, "Ellinor, look! Isn't that your husband? And there's a woman with him! Geez! I didn't think he'd cheat too! All men are the same! Let's go expose them!"
