The Kiss that Sparked it All (Ellinor and Theo) novel Chapter 1311

Chapter 1311 

Byran’s face suddenly got all serious. “Let me make this clear, I ain’t no kid!” 

Ellinor didn’t give him the time of day. “If you’re not gonna eat the meat, I’ll finish the whole thing!” 

“Who said I ain’t eating meat? I’m eating!” Byran proudly declared while reaching out to pile more barbecue onto his plate. 

This was a rare chance to chow down on barbecue, so he had to make the most of it. 

Byran’s upbringing was strict; he never had any extra dough. Balfour was always worried that if Byran got his hands on too much cash, he’d go off the rails. 

Apart from eating at the school canteen, he was always eating at home. Balfour also never let him eat fast food. 

It wasn’t until he met Ida that he got the chance to eat out more often. 

He felt a bit guilty. Ida footed the bill on every date. 

He didn’t have a choice; he didn’t have any money and couldn’t work right now. 

Once he got a job and started earning money, he was going to buy Ida loads of nice stuff to make it up to her. 

After stuffing her face, Ellinor wiped her mouth and headed upstairs for a shower. 

Even with the air conditioning on, the barbecue had her sweating buckets. A shower would cool her down. 

After her shower, she dried her hair while idly scrolling through her phone. 

The money she’d sent Theo had been sitting there for two hours, still unaccepted. 

Ellinor wanted to settle her debt with him, so she clicked on Theo’s profile and shot him a message to remind him to accept the money. 

Once he’d accepted it, she would block him, and they wouldn’t have to stay in touch. 

But Theo didn’t respond. He didn’t reply to her message or accept the money. 

Ellinor furrowed her brows, thinking that if he didn’t accept it today, she’d remind him again tomorrow. 

The portrait had been moved into her room by the housekeepers. It was leaning against the wall, not yet hung up. 

After looking at her mother’s self-portrait, a wave of vague childhood memories flooded her mind. 

Where was her mother? 

How had she been all these years? 

If her mother was still alive, why hadn’t she come back to find her? 

She was only a few years old when they separated, and now she was about to become a mother herself. 

Time really flew by. 

Ellinor gently rubbed her belly as her face softened. She’d be meeting her baby soon. 

Suddenly, her phone rang. 

After snapping back to reality, she picked up her phone and saw that she was receiving a voice call from Belinda. 

She was about to pick up when the call was canceled, 

She found it odd and worried that something might’ve happened. She called back, only to be declined.
