The Kiss that Sparked it All (Ellinor and Theo) novel Chapter 1559

Chapter 1559 

Upon hearing Veronica’s thoughts, it was as if Ellinor had been pricked by a needle. She squinted her eyes again towards the balloon vendor. 

The helium balloons were flying high; even though the middle-aged vendor had already disappeared from sight, one could still see a balloon floating high above the garden wall. 

“Sis, I’ve got something to do. I have to go now.” Veronica was in a hurry, not having the time to think too much. 

Ellinor snapped back to reality, smiling with pursed lips. “A date? With Moran?” 

Veronica blushed. She was too shy to admit it. “I… I’m about to have dinner. I’ve gotta go. Bye!” 

With that, she darted off in her high heels. 

Ellinor smiled, retracted her gaze, and prepared to take the kids inside. 

At that moment, Layla tugged at her hand, asking sweetly, “Mommy, is Auntie going on a date?” 

Ellinor looked down at her daughter, answering with a mix of laughter and tears. “Yes. Your auntie is going on a date, and before long she’ll bring you a new uncle.” 

Layla looked up at Ellinor, her adorable, small face as radiant as ever. “I already know who the uncle is. It’s the gentleman who went on a picnic with us at the park, right? 

“Right! You little imp, nothing gets past you, huh?” Ellinor squatted down and pinched her daughter’s little nose. 

Layla rubbed her nose. “Mommy, Auntie is dating, so when will you start dating?” 

Ellinor pulled a face. “Mommy has you three. What’s the need for dating?” 

Layla said earnestly, “Just because you have us, you can’t date? Mommy, don’t you feel lonely on your own?” 

Ellinor pulled her daughter, who always seemed to think too much, into her arms. “How can Mommy be alone? Don’t I have you and your brothers with me every day? How could I be lonely?” 

Layla pouted. “It’s not the same! When it’s time to pick us up at kindergarten, all my friends’ moms have dads with them. I want my mommy to have someone she 

likes too.” 

Ellinor was taken aback, not because her daughter was worrying about her love life, but because she was concerned that the kids would feel left out when they saw other kids with both parents. 

Every parent wanted to give their children a complete family. 

“Do you want a daddy, Layla?” Ellinor asked softly. 

Layla first nodded, then shook her head. “I want a daddy. But if my daddy doesn’t come back, I want Mommy to have a strong man who can protect you, who can be with you every day, and who can love you.”
