The Kiss that Sparked it All

Chapter 1722

Veronica had a sweet tooth, so whenever Moran asked her out, their meeting spot was always a dessert shop.

While indulging in their sweet treats, Veronica let out a wistful sigh, her face a picture of distress.

Moran couldn’t help but ask what was going on after seeing her like this. “Why the long face? Is something bothering you?”

Veronica could barely taste her dessert. “It’s just this thing between Ellinor and my brother. I’m worried.”

Moran knew this was a matter of great concern to Veronica and comforted her “I think you should trust that Ellinor can handle these situations. Your brother will return home safe and sound. He’s been missing for so many years, yet he’s still alive, which means there’s no immediate danger to his life. Don’t worry too much.”

Veronica shook her head as she pursed her lips seriously. “I’m not even worried about that anymore. I’m more worried that Ellinor might fall for someone else.”
