The Kiss that Sparked it All

Chapter 1706

Ellinor peered into Layla’s snack bag, only to find a few crumbs remaining.

Meanwhile, Adrian was rolling around on the floor, playing with his toys like a wild child. His grubby hands would occasionally rummage through the snack bag every now and then to stuff his face, only to return to his play immediately after.

Adrian’s eating habits were far from appealing, and even the thought of Baber eating the leftovers was unpalatable to Ellinor.

So, she chose not to ask Adrian to share; instead, she gently patted Baber’s head, telling him he would get his share later. “Be a good boy, Baber. Mommy will buy you more snacks later.”

Baber obediently nodded, not causing any fuss.

Ellinor’s attention was drawn away by the alert of a message on her phone. She left her children to play and walked over to check her phone.

It was an encrypted message that required her technical expertise to decipher.

Ellinor, proficient in decryption, sat on the edge of the bed, typing various codes into her phone.
