The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 586

Ellinor didn’t budge. She knew Patricia was up to something and was trying to frame her. So she avoided Patricia's gaze.

"Ms. Howard, you said this is a gift you carefully prepared, so there shouldn't be any problem, right? Plus, even if I give suggestions now, there's no time for you to make changes. Gifts are all about the thought, as long as your heart is in the right place, other people's opinions don't matter that much. I don't think I need to help you check it."

With a face of innocence, Patricia moved closer to Ellinor, trying to catch her hand again, "Ellinor, you're right. Gifts are all about the thought put into them, but I want to make sure the gift is as perfect as possible! Also, Ellinor, if you give me advice now, there's still time to make changes. Because I have two options for the gift I prepared for Grandpa. I'm a bit hesitant and don't know which one to choose.

So, I want you to help me decide which one is better. Ellinor, the gift is in the rehearsal room behind the stage; I don't think it will take up much of your time."

Patricia's sweet talk didn’t move Ellinor; it only made her impatient.

But she couldn't be too harsh with Patricia.

So, Ellinor backed away step by step, like avoiding the plague, then purposely hid behind a tall man, letting him block Patricia to prevent her from bothering her again.

Patricia followed closely but stopped when blocked by the man. She looked at the man and said in her usual gentle voice.

"Theo, let me pass. I just want Ellinor to help me check the gift for Grandpa!"

Theo didn’t move; he just coldly looked at Patricia and said, “She's an outsider. She’s just here for the show. There’s no need for an outsider to see your gift.”

After hearing Theo say this, Patricia became even more certain that Theo was very dissatisfied with Ellinor.

So, she didn't refute him but instead smiled faintly, lightly tugged at his sleeve, and whispered, "Theo, you make a good point. Why don't you help me choose? I trust your taste the most!"

Before Theo could reply, Byran frowned and protested, "Sis, didn't you just say only girls could see the gift you prepared for Grandpa in advance? Now you’re willing to let Theo help you? Is Theo a girl?"

Patricia's face stiffened. She then let out a shy laugh and gently scolded him. "Byran, it’s because you're still a kid! Theo and I are adults; he can give me more mature advice."
