The Kiss that Sparked it All (Ellinor and Theo) novel Chapter 1446

Chapter 1446 

Veronica fell silent. 

She had completely forgotten that picnics required the preparation of food in advance. 

“I have, I have! There’s food!” 

Marissa slowly walked out from the kitchen. “Ellinor dear! Grandma has prepared a bunch of desserts for the kids, including cookies and cakes. We also have plenty of rice. I’ll ask our housekeeper to make some extra sushi to take with you. That should be more than enough food for your picnic.” 

After hearing this, Veronica burst into laughter and hugged the elderly lady in joy. “Grandma, you’re a lifesaver! This is great!” 

Marissa, slightly irritated by her granddaughter’s lack of respect, pushed her away and turned her kind gaze to Ellinor. 

“Ellinor, you’ve been working hard at the company lately. Take today off and relax a bit.” 

Ellinor smiled. “Thank you, Grandma.” 

The three little ones also excitedly chimed in. “Thank you, Great-Grandma!” 

Marissa was getting on in years and was delighted to hear her great-grandchildren cheerfully calling her ‘Great-Grandma! 

“My three little darlings, wait here. I will get you some more tasty treats. And remember, when you are out playing, listen to Mommy and Auntie. No running away, alright?” 

Baber gleefully responded, “Okay!” 

Adrian, with a big smile on his face, said, “We will listen!” 

Layla also happily answered, “Great-Grandma, Layla will listen too!” 

Marissa chuckled. “Good, good! You’re all my best-behaved darlings!” 

Ellinor changed into fresh clothes and packed extra outfits and water bottles for the three little ones. They then went downstairs to set off. 

Marissa had already had the food packed into the car cooler. 

Once everything was ready, Ellinor and Veronica bid their grandmother farewell, loaded the kids into the car, and set off. 

The car stereo played children’s songs to match the sunny weather outside, lifting the spirits of the three little ones who sang along. 

Ellinor’s mood brightened considerably after seeing the children happy. 

Veronica suddenly instructed the driver to make a detour to Creston University to pick up someone. 

The driver obliged, turning the car in a new direction. 

Ellinor seemed to guess something and raised an eyebrow at Veronica. “What are you up to?” 

Veronica’s face turned as red as an apple. “What? What are you talking about? He’s just a classmate who wanted to join us. I said yes. One more person just means one more mouth to feed. Plus, he can help us look after the kids.”
