The Kiss that Sparked it All

Chapter 49

Theo squinted his eyes slightly and retorted, “If it’s so important, why did you just hand it over to someone else so easily? Since you’ve given it to someone else, how it’s dealt with is her business.”

Haillie looked absolutely livid..

Byran explained to Haillie, “Theo, that woman, she…”

Theo sternly shot him, “And you, if you slander my wife again in front of me, don’t even think about calling me your friend” Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Wife? Theo actually referred to Ellinor as his wife!

Byran was utterly stunned!

Theo had already turned to leave.

Byran clenched his fists in frustration and shouted, “Then, if she’s your wife, then what does my sister mean to you?”

Theo paused bnefly but didn’t answer and quickly walked towards Ellinor.

Belinda snapped out of her daze and humed to catch up. “Uncle, Auntie, wait for me!”

Both Hallie and Byran looked extremely upset…

The onlookers were whispering amongst themselves. Annoyed, Byran glared at them and rudely said, “What are you all looking at? Go eat your barbecue!”

They first sent Belinda home.

With the chatterbox gone, the car became unusually quiet.

Ellinor rolled down the window and enjoyed the cool night breeze.

“That watch just now was worth a million.”

Upon hearing Theo’s calm voice, Ellinor sneered, “My innocence is priceless!”

Theo smiled faintly, “So, I still owe you this time?”

Ellinor gave him a resentful look, “Do you also suspect that I took Haillie’s watch?”

Theo gazed at her, “Does it matter if I suspect you?”

Ellinor frowned, “Although we’re a fake couple, we are real partners! I believe there needs to be basic trust between partners. Otherwise, our collaboration won’t be pleasant!”

Theo nodded calmly, “Hmm, you make a good point. But I didn’t suspect you today.”

‘Really?” Ellinor’s eyes lit up, a little skeptical

Theo reached out to smooth a few strands of hair that the breeze had ruffled on her head, “If you’re fond of money, my stuff would be worth more. You could take it directly from my house, no need for all this hassle.”

Ellinor laughed, “What if I plan to pack up everything valuable in your house after the three months?”

Theo’s usually aloof expression softened, “Everything at home is old, nothing good. If you need something, tell me, and I’ll have someone buy you a new one!

Huh, he had said before that he could give her anything except for his feelings within these three months. He really wasn’t kidding!

Ellinor sighed, “I just want these three months to end as soon as possible!”

Theo’s gaze darkened, his eyes narrowing in displeasure, “So, being with me for three months is a burden to you?!”

Ellinor frowned, “It’s just too much trouble! Your rich people’s lives are too complicated, I don’t want to get involved!”

Theo watched Ellinor’s annoyed face, a hint of displeasure creeping into his heart.

Did this girl really detest his family that much?

Beep beep!

Ellinor’s phone suddenly received a text message.

She picked up her phone and saw it was from an unknown number – [If you don’t want your relationship with Theo to be exposed, let’s meet at the coffee shop under the bridge at 3 pm tomorrow!]

The message also included a photo of her and Theo sitting across from each other at the barbecue restaurant. Judging from the angle of the image, it was taken from outside the restaurant window

Ellinor frowned, who was messing around?
