The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 856

Patricia was left dumbfounded by the question.

All these years, no one had ever asked her about these details, so she hadn't really thought about it.

Now that she was asked, she was afraid that an inappropriate answer would give her away.

"Ellinor, don't you believe me?" Patricia asked. "I told you from the start that it happened so long ago that I can't remember all the details, and neither can Theo."

Ellinor laughed and replied, "No, no, don't get me wrong, Ms. Howard! I was just thinking about how dangerous it was for you to be so young and alone in the mountains. Thank god you didn't run into any bad guys! Just thinking about it gives me the heebie-jeebies!"

After hearing this, Patricia felt foolish for overreacting and started laughing too.

"Ellinor, I'm not mad. I just thought you didn't believe me. And you don't have to worry about my childhood. Our villa was near the mountain. I used to sneak out, take a quick stroll, and come back. It was during one of those sneaky trips that I found Theo injured."

Ellinor nodded understandingly, "I see! So, what did Theo look like then? Was he still a young lad?"

Theo was dumbfounded.

“Was he still a young lad?” As if he were an old geezer now?

Did she really think he was old?

Patricia blushed a little, "Um... Theo was about nineteen then; he was pretty young and innocent."

Ellinor, quite intrigued, asked, "Was he cuter than his cold self now? Ms. Howard, can you describe him in detail?"

Theo's forehead vein throbbed.

The young CEO was a total knockout.

With his model-like features, he outshone her brother, Balfour, who she always thought was the most handsome man in the world.

That was the day she fell head over heels for Theo, swearing to marry no one but him.

But she really didn't know what color clothing Theo was wearing when he was injured.

Lost in her thoughts, a hand waving in front of her snapped her back to reality.

Ellinor's face was up close, "Hey! What's up, Ms. Howard? You zoned out on me?"
