The Kiss that Sparked it All (Ellinor and Theo) novel Chapter 782

Chapter 782 

Fred, the butler of the Howard family, led all the servants to wait at the entrance for an important guest, just as his boss had instructed. 

The moment the car pulled up, before Ellinor could even open the door herself, Fred had already gotten there first, opening the car door for her. Bowing slightly, he said, “Ms. Mendoza, it’s an honor to have you here. Dean Howard has been expecting you.” 

Ellinor was at a loss for words. 

She felt a tad uncomfortable with such a grand welcome. 

Following Fred, Ellinor walked into the Howard family’s living room. Dean, who was enjoying a cup of coffee, immediately set down his cup and greeted her with a broad smile, “Ellinor’s here! Come! Come, take a seat!” 

Ellinor walked over and politely said, “Grandpa Dean, you really didn’t have to have people waiting for me at the door. I was just coming to visit.” 

Dean was very kind, but he also had that certain stubbornness characteristic of older people, “My savior is here, how could I not make a big deal of it? Of course I had to send people to greet you! Stop being so formal, Ellinor. Have a seat! Fred, serve our guest some coffee.” 

“Sure.” Fred nodded in response, then turned to order the servants to bring coffee. 

Ellinor took a seat on the sofa next to Dean, politely thanking the servant who served her coffee. 

With a cheerful turn of his head, Dean shouted towards the study on the second floor, “Alyssa, our savior is here! Come out and meet her!” 

After a short while, an elderly lady slowly walked out of the study, “Our savior is here? Where is she?” 

Dean gestured towards Ellinor, “Just arrived, right here!” 

Alyssa Howard was dignified and gracious, with a kind face. But when she saw Ellinor, it was as if her expression had frozen, she didn’t even blink. 

Out of courtesy, Ellinor stood up to greet her, “Hello, Grandma Alyssa 

Alyssa still stared motionless at Ellinor, taking some time to collect herself. 

Ellinor’s polite smile faded, and she started to feel uncomfortable under the intense gaze. 

Dean noticed his wife’s unusual behavior and found it quite inappropriate. He cleared his throat to remind her, “Alyssa, what’s with the daze? The guest is saying hello to you.” 

Alyssa finally snapped out of it and gave an apologetic smile, “Um, hello, you must be Ellinor, right? My husband talks about you a lot.” 

Ellinor gave a small smile, “Hello, Grandma Alyssa. Yes, I’m Ellinor.”
