The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 403

"???"

Ellinor looked utterly baffled. She stared at Patricia, who was putting on a show on the ground like she was a lunatic.

Balfour Howard, who had just emerged from the villa, quickly rushed over, pushed Ellinor aside and asked coldly, "Beat it! What are you trying to do to Patri?"

Without waiting for Ellinor to explain, he quickly bent down to help Patricia up from the ground, his heart aching for her.

"Patri, are you okay? Nothing serious, right?"

Men were always much stronger than girls. Even though Ellinor was steady on her feet, she was almost knocked over by Balfour's push.

She stumbled backward, trying to steady herself, but unfortunately slipped on the cobblestone path specially laid out for the villa and fell into a nearby fish pond.

The pond wasn't deep, but the villa was near the mountains and the temperature was quite low at night. She felt a chill down to her bones after falling into the water.

She managed to get her head out of the water but still looked like a drowned rat.

Just as she was about to get up, a tall figure suddenly jumped down into the pond and swam towards her. The man reached out with his long arm and scooped her up.

It was Theo!

Ellinor shivered, "Theo, I'm cold..."

Theo lowered his head to look at the bedraggled Ellinor in his arms and asked in a deep voice, "What happened?"

Ellinor paused, then hopped out of Theo's arms and said calmly, "There's no surveillance here, so whatever I say can't be proven! But I won't accept being framed for something I didn't do. If you don't believe me, call the cops and have me arrested again!"

After that, she walked alone into the villa, just wanting to warm up.

Falling into the water and getting cold could cause a cold, and she wasn't going to risk her health.

As for Theo, since he didn't trust her, so be it! She didn't care!
