The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 487

"Haillie, Ellinor came with Balfour because of work. It’s not what you're thinking! Alright, you've had too much to drink. Let's go to the balcony and get some fresh air to sober you up!"

Haillie looked a bit pissed off. She wanted to confront Ellinor but Patricia managed to calm her down. She shot Ellinor a dirty look before following Patricia to the balcony.

The evening breeze on the balcony was chilling.

Haillie sobered up a bit but her resentment didn't subside. "Patricia, you shouldn't have stopped me. I should've put Ellinor in her place!"

Patricia shook her head with understanding and patience. "Haillie, you were too hot-headed. Don't forget it's Aunt Bluna's birthday party!"

Haillie shivered as she realized this and instantly regretted her actions.

She almost forgot that this party was for the elder of the Howard family, Aunt Bluna.

Aunt Bluna was a tough cookie, and causing a scene at her birthday party would be a surefire way to get on her bad side.

If that happened, not only would Haillie be kicked out on the spot, but she'd also lose Aunt Bluna's support for her relationship with Balfour.

"Patricia, thank god you stopped me. Otherwise, I would've pissed off Aunt Bluna, and that would've been a mess!"

"As long as you understand, Haillie."

After acknowledging Patricia, York's gaze immediately landed on the dolled-up Haillie.

"You must be Patricia's good friend, Haillie, right? Long time no see. You've changed a lot. You look better."

York's gaze was uncomfortably intense. Haillie stepped back. If he wasn't Patricia's cousin, she'd have slapped him already.

Patricia, of course, noticed his inappropriate behavior. She quickly changed the subject, pointing in a certain direction in the banquet hall. "York, look over there! That beautiful girl is just your type, and she's single!"

York's gaze finally shifted from Haillie and followed where Patricia was pointing. His eyes lit up when he saw the ethereal beauty, Ellinor.
