The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 921

She really wanted to ask Theo if he could maybe act a bit more properly around the elders.

Ellinor, not exactly pleased, scooted away, trying to put some distance between her and Theo.

But Theo wasn't having it. He reached out to her and pulled Ellinor straight into his arms. Just as Ellinor was about to struggle, his handsome chin neared her ear, saying in a half-adoring, half-threatening tone, "Easy there, don't move, or I'll have to kiss you in front of everyone."

Ellinor was so mad that she could faint. She didn't know how she would face Grandma.

But she knew that once Theo said something, he'd do it, no doubt about it. If she struggled, she might really get a kiss in public.

Whatever! Ellinor decided not to argue anymore; she just buried her face into his chest, ignoring everything and pretending she didn't exist.

Marissa watched their affectionate interaction, and her eyes grew softer. Her hanging heart loosened a bit.

If Theo trusted Ellinor this much, then he must know enough about her past.

That was good; trust was the most important thing between a married couple.

Ellinor was a good kid; she shouldn't doubt her just because of what others said. She was indeed a bit confused just now.

The middle-aged woman who came for justice looked pretty pissed. She didn't get what she wanted; instead, she was left dumbfounded by their affectionate actions.

Theo's gaze suddenly turned cold, "As my wife's foster mother, you're helping a stranger slander your foster daughter. Seems like you didn't really care about her when she was growing up."

Tracy's face changed instantly; she hastily explained, "No, it's not like that... Actually, it's because Ellinor forgot about all the kindness we showed her; she no longer respects us. I saw her true colors; she’s ungrateful, and I'm afraid she'll end up deceiving you too..."

Theo stared at Tracy's ugly face for a while with an ice-cold gaze. He spoke in a deep tone, “State your purpose! You’ve been making a fuss here for a while; what do you really want?”

Realizing that their actions had no effect on Theo, she didn’t dare say more. She just hinted to the middle-aged woman from the countryside with her eyes, signaling her to speak.

The middle-aged woman took Tracy’s hint, blinked, then turned to Theo and said, “I just hope Ellinor can compensate us for my daughter's unfinished college education, help her get a decent job in the Blanchet Corporation, and give my daughter a bright future."
