The Kiss that Sparked it All

“Auntie, I wanna go tool Belinda stood up, wanting to follow Ellinor, but Byran blocked her by stretching his leg across the seat
Annoyed, Belinda said. “Byran, what are you doing? Move it!”
Byran smirked. “You wanna get past? Well, why don’t you hop over!”
Belinda helplessly said, “Uncle, look at him.”
Theo’s gaze shifted from Ellinor’s disappearing figure back to the two. With a stern look, they immediately quieted down, not
daring to bicker anymore.
Bathroom
Ellinor exited the toilet and went to the sink to wash her hands.
Seeing her coming out, Haillie handed her the coat she just look off, saying awkwardly, “Ellinor, could you hold my coat for a bit?
I just realized there’s nowhere to hang it in here”
Ellinor nodded, dried her hands with a paper towel, and took her coat
Haillie also came out from the toilet in a bit of a while.
Washing her hands, she looked apologetically at Ellinor and said, “Ellinor, Byran has always been blunt. Don’t take his words at
the table to heart.”
Ellinor raised an eyebrow, “Hmm? What did he say?”
Stunned, Haillie smiled, “If you don’t care, that’s great! Ellinor, you’re so easy–going!”
Ellinor also smiled, ‘Am 17 You flatter me.”
Today’s Haillie was different from the one at the bar last night, she was dressed more casually, and her makeup was exquisite,
enhancing her natural beauty.
Ellinor thought this must be the sister that Byran mentioned. Byran tripped her yesterday for this sister, causing her to fall onto
Theo.

However, suppose Haillie really liked Theo, and Theo liked her, why wouldn’t he marry Haillie and introduce her to the elders of
the Blanchet family?
It was perplexing
Haillie had finished washing her hands and reached for a paper towel but accidentally knocked the box into the trash bin...
She sighed in embarrassment, “Oh no! The towels are unusable now! Ellinor, I must bother you with my coat again, my hands
are still wet.”
Ellinor was indifferent, “Hmm, no problem”
Theo was gone when they returned to the table, leaving only Belinda and Byran arguing.
Haillie looked around and confusedly asked, “Byran, Belinda, why is it just you two left? Where’s Theo?”
Belinda replied, “He went out to take a call it’s too noisy here”
“Oh, I see Haillie’s eyes drifted towards the window, seemingly searching for Theo...
Ellinor, unconcerned, sat back in her original spot and continued to enjoy her barbecue.
After a while, when everyone was almost done eating. Theo still hadn’t returned
Belinda suggested everyone go outside for some fresh air and wait for Theo there, as the barbecue shop was getting hot.
Everyone agreed with her idea.
As they were about to leave, Haillie stood up, put on her coat, and reached into her pocket, and her face suddenly changed, “Oh
no! Where’s my watch?”
Belinda helped her look for it on the table and under it. “There’s nothing on the table or on the floor! Haillie, are you sure you
brought it today?”
Haillie shook her head firmly. “No! I’m sure I wore it. I took it off because it was inconvenient while eating barbecue and put it in
my coat pocket! What should I do? I could

live with it if it was something else, but that watch is essential. It was the last birthday gift my grandfather gave me before he
passed away!”
