The Kiss that Sparked it All

Chapter 1216

Chapter 1216

Belinda subtly nudged Theo with her elbow. “My auntie actually enjoys her peace and quiet! She’s a lone wolf!”

What she meant was that she hoped her uncle would understand Ellinor. Since they haven’t seen each other in a

long time, they should sit down and have a good chat.

Theo stifled a laugh. “Didn’t she already tell you to call her by her name? Why are you calling her Auntie again?”

Belinda suddenly remembered that, but she couldn’t change her habit immediately.

Plus, she had no plans to change her way of addressing her anytime soon.

What did her uncle mean? Was he really planning to break up with Ellinor?

Theo’s words felt like a jab to Ellinor, as if he were implying that she was pretending to be aloof.

She was used to Belinda calling her that, but because she was distracted, she didn’t react immediately.

Belinda wanted to lighten the mood, but it only made things more awkward. She decided to zip it.

Ida’s office at Crescent Society.

Ida had just arranged for some snacks for Byran to munch on while she dealt with her work.

But when her assistant informed her that Ellinor had gotten into Theo’s car below the building, Ida shot up. “What?

Where is Theo taking her?”

The assistant shrugged. “They said they needed closure. Even Ellinor doesn’t know where they’re headed.”

Ida was annoyed. “You let her get into the car without knowing the destination? Why didn’t you go with her?”

The assistant muttered. “The car was full with Belinda, Theo’s former assistant, and Jacob from our firm. Plus,

Ellinor didn’t want me to come.”

Frustrated, Ida picked up her phone to call Ellinor.

Byran, who was lounging on the couch with a cola, saw Ida’s anxiety and reassured her. “Ida, why so tense? Ellinor

got into Theo’s car, not some crook’s!”

Ida shot him a glare. “What’s the difference between Theo and a crook?”

Byran disagreed. “I can’t speak for Theo’s behavior towards others, but he’s always been good to Ellinor. Don’t

worry, he won’t hurt her.”

Ida scoffed. “You think he hasn’t hurt her?”

Byran looked confused. “Theo hurt her? From what I see, Ellinor has always been the one hurting Theo. She left him

twice, which is more than anyone could take.”

Ida was very irritated. “If you have nothing else to do, go back to school. Stop hovering around me!”

Ida’s response made Byran immediately become submissive. “Ida, don’t be mad at me. I’ve got nothing to do with

this.”

“Then just sit here quietly and don’t cause more trouble!”

After saying this, Ida quickly left with her phone.

She called Ellinor, but no one answered. She was very worried, so she went to Chase to discuss a solution.

As she opened the door to Chase’s office, she saw him slumped over his desk in despair. If one didn’t know better,

they would think he was drunk in broad daylight.

Ida walked up and gently knocked on the table. “Wake up! We’ve got a problem!”
