The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 459

Even though the other party had hit the nail on the head, Theo's expression remained unchanged.

"True, we're not legally married, but we've held a wedding ceremony, which is considered a marriage.

I get that you're concerned about Patricia, and I'll spend the rest of my life making up for what she's lost because of me. But I can't offer her a marriage or the happiness you define. I'm sorry."

At this point, Theo glanced at his wristwatch, "I've finished eating, and I have a meeting at the company this afternoon, so I need to get going."

He got up and decisively turned to leave.

Balfour, watching Theo's indifferent reaction, was at his wit's end and couldn't hold his anger any longer, "Theo! Do you even have a conscience?"

Just then, Patricia came back with a piece of cake. She saw Theo about to leave and Balfour fuming. She was clueless about what had happened and asked blankly.

"What's going on? Theo, where are you going? I've just brought back a piece of cake. Let's share it!"

"No need. I have other things to attend to."

Theo passed Patricia without any expression and walked out of the door.

"Theo..."

Patricia called out to him reluctantly, but he didn't turn back or stop.

In the end, she could only watch his retreating figure leave the restaurant despondently. Then she turned around and glared at Balfour a bit resentfully.

Just as Balfour was about to answer Patricia's question, his phone rang.

It was Quinton calling.

Looking at the caller ID, Balfour squinted his eyes, anticipating that the client had completely rejected cooperation and was preparing to fly back home.

The loss of such a big partnership, although not enough to plunge the company into trouble, was still a bit of a bummer.

Balfour frowned, picked up the phone, and before he could even say "hello", Quinton's anxious voice came through.

"Mr. Howard, we've made it! Ellinor has reached an agreement with the client. They will come to the company tomorrow morning to sign a contract for a ten-year mineral cooperation!"
