The Kiss that Sparked it All

Chapter 520

Theo eyed Chase’s eager invitation, then glanced at Ellinor, who seemed to have no resistance to Chase’s advances. His deep gaze held more than just the bloodshot signs of fatigue, there was a layer of complex emotions. His cold, sarcastic smile was rather gloomy. “Fine”

He walked around the table, passed the two of them, and strode out of the room.

Not until he had left and the door was closed did Ellinor let out a sigh of relief. Her feelings were a mess and too complicated to put into words.

His parting smirk made her squirm, and his deep, unfathomable gaze seemed to carry something shattered.

What had happened to him?

Why did he look at her that way before he left?

As Ellinor was lost in thought, Chase curiously asked, “Ellinor, how did Theo find our place?”

Ellinor, lounging on the couch, retorted, “Where’ve you been? I called and you didn’t pick up!”
