The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 706

Dean had a twinkle in his eye for Ellinor. "No biggie, I just wanted to meet the young lady who saved my life!"

Ellinor gave a small smile, "You're laying it on thick; I just happened to be passing by and lent a hand. I wouldn't say I saved your life; you're giving me too much credit."

Dean was adamant, "But you did! If you hadn't shown up, I could've been seriously hurt by that classless woman or even kicked the bucket at the hospital!"

Ellinor didn't know how to respond.

Dean flashed a warm smile, "Can't have the person who saved my life show up and not roll out the red carpet! Come, let's sit in the living room and chew the fat."

Ellinor was at a loss for words.

She was never too hot on the Howard family.

Despite being blood related, everyone in the Howard family had a hand in driving her mother away; not a single one of them stood up for her.

In her eyes, they were all the enemy.

But right now, she hadn't figured out the whole story behind what happened, so she couldn't avenge her mother yet.

Dean was too gung-ho. Ellinor tried to escape the situation, but her attempts were useless. Finally, she gave in, "Fine."

After hearing Ellinor agree to stay, Dean immediately ordered his staff to prepare top-notch coffee for her and led her to the living room.

That darn Ellinor! First, she stole her man, and now she was sucking up to Dean. What was she up to?

...

They sat down in the living room, and the staff brought in coffee and fruit.

Dean looked at Ellinor kindly, "Last time we met, I had temporary blindness from a chemical burn in my eyes during an experiment. I just recently regained my sight! Now I can finally see you; you're just as beautiful as I imagined."

He continued to gaze at Ellinor, nodding approvingly with a look of delight in his eyes.

Balfour, sitting on a single-seater sofa, felt it was a bit inappropriate for Dean to stare at Ellinor like that. So he cleared his throat to remind him, "Grandpa!"
