The Kiss that Sparked it All

Chapter 453

Ellinor, not in the mood to explain, retorted, “Mr. Howard, seems like you’re fine with Patricia marrying into the Blanchet family, that’s had beef with yours before?” Balfour’s expression screamed helplessness as he answered, “From a family perspective, I obviously wouldn’t want them together because I’d be roasted by the elders. But Patricia is head over heels for Theo; she can’t go on without him I can only do my best to protect her wishes and ensure her happiness. I won’t allow anybody to threaten Patricia’s happiness and safety, and I won’t be polite about it either Ms. Mendoza, I hope you get that.”

Ellinor looked at Balfour, a slight smile tugging at her lips. “Alright, I got it Patricia is lucky to have a brother like you”

Balfour didn’t care if Ellinor’s praise was genuine or fake, he just hoped she understood to steer clear of Theo and not mess with Patricia and Theo’s relationship

His love for Patricia included the feelings he had for missing Pearl Howard, two forms of affection wrapped into one.

Not being able to protect his mother and Pearl fifteen years ago was a lifelong regret.
