The Kiss that Sparked it All

Chapter 34

As she was making her way towards that guy, Ellinor had to pass by Theo. She didn’t even glance at him, but she could feel his intense gaze on her.

She kept her eyes ahead and walked steadily, but outta nowhere, It felt like something tripped her and she ended up falling! Just when she was least expecting it, Ellinor, now off–balance, tumbled right into Theo’s sturdy chest.

The crowd watching went dead silent, like a graveyard.

Jonah, looking mighty pleased, let out a whistle, breaking up the tense silence.

Whispers started to circulate among the crowd.

“She’s really got the guts to pick Mr. Blanchet!”

“What kinda man is Mr. Blanchet for her to dare touch him!”

“She definitely did that on purpose!”

“Isn’t it obvious? Which Greenhaven woman wouldn’t wanna get with Mr. Blanchet?”

“I bet Mr. Blanchet will just push her away. His favor ain’t that easy to win.”

Ellinor lifted her head, her long eyelashes fluttering, her eyes filled with embarrassment and helplessness, “Mr. Blanchet.”

Theo arched his eyebrow, “What are you up to?”

Ellinor let out a sigh, explaining, “Mr. Blanchet, you’ve got it all wrong. I didn’t choose you.”

Theo’s eyes narrowed a bit, “Oh really?”

Ellinor nodded, “Yes! The guy I chose is over there! I just tripped and fell, I’m sorry. I’ll get up now.”

Just then, John ran over and yelled, “Are you out of your mind? You actually dared to touch Mr. Blanchet? Get up, don’t make Mr. Blanchet mad!”

Ellinor tried to get up, but Theo’s hand suddenly pressed down on her waist, stopping her!

He shot the guy a cold glance, “What if I don’t let her get up?”

“Ah, Mr. Blanchet. John was stunned speechless, looking terrified. Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Ellinor gestured towards the guy ahead to Theo, “Mr. Blanchet, I didn’t mean to touch you. I chose him, let go of me.”

Theo glanced at the guy, his gaze deep.

Ellinor tried to get up again, but as soon as she straightened up a bit, Theo’s hand pushed her back down, and she fell all over again. Their lips collided, even their teeth clanged together!

Before she could wrap her head around it, Theo was kissing her aggressively. Ellinor’s eyes were wide open, she was completely taken

aback!

Even though it was an accident, now that it happened, there was no need to go after someone else.

Soon, Ellinor accepted the reality and started counting down from 60 in her mind.

Her heart was thumping so fast it felt like it was going faster than her countdown, and she started to feel hot.

A minute finally passed, Ellinor was a little breathless. She rested her head in the crook of Theo’s neck and caught her breath, not daring to look at him, waiting for her blush to fade before getting up.

This was her real first kiss, and even though there were no feelings involved, she still felt a little shy doing it in front of so many people. Theo felt the little girl in his arms acting all shy and embarrassed. His rough hand gently caressed the back of Ellinor’s head, like he would to soothé a scared pet.

Then, he raised an eyebrow and glared at the guy who was now dumbstruck, “What’s the matter? Not satisfied? Want something else? Need me to join in your games?”

John snapped back to reality, frantically waving his hands, “No, no! Mr. Blanchet, you’re busy, we won’t bother you!”

With that, he turned to run.

“Stop right there!” Belinda, hands on hips, stomped over.

John stopped in his tracks, all his bravado gone, cautiously asking, “Miss, is there anything else you need?”

Belinda held out her hand, “Give me back my phone!”
