The Kiss that Sparked it All

Chapter 1843

The moment Theo raised his head, he saw the pained expression on Ellinor’s face. A face, usually so strong, was now threatening to spill tears.

His heart shattered. He didn’t bother fastening the last button of his shirt. Instead, he got up, cradled her face, and wiped away her tears. “Why are you crying? I’m okay; it doesn’t hurt. Silly girl, stop crying. What if your mom sees me making you cry? What if she decides not to accept me as a son-in-law?” Ellinor’s tears gushed uncontrollably as she sobbed. “You say it doesn’t hurt, but… How could that kind of wound not hurt?”

Theo pulled her into his embrace. “It does hurt a bit, but having you by my side makes me happy, and then it doesn’t hurt anymore.”

Ellinor rolled her eyes as she gently supported his wounded arm. “Don’t move it around.” She warned. “And stop sweet-talking me! From now on, you need to follow my instructions and let me clean and dress your wound on time!”

Theo obediently agreed. “Alright, I’ll listen to you, my dear wife. Please stop crying. Let’s make a good impression in front of your mom for me, okay?”

She wiped her tears with her sleeve and grumbled, “Make a good impression? You just left abruptly earlier on. Didn’t you think about the bad impression you left on my mom? Humph!”

Theo pinched her nose. “Isn’t that your fault?”
