The Kiss that Sparked it All (Ellinor and Theo) novel Chapter 797

Chapter 797 

She was starving too, and on top of that, she also had a bun in the oven. 

The kid was getting bigger by the day, so she had been eating more and getting hungry more often. 

Most old folks were all for kids with big appetites, and Dean and Alyssa were no different. They watched Ellinor chow down with nothing but love in their eyes, taking turns to pile more food onto her plate.. 

Alyssa handed Ellinor a chicken wing and suddenly noticed the way she was holding her fork. The old woman paused and looked up at Ellinor’s profile as her eyes flickered. 

The way Ellinor held her fork, with her thumb slightly upturned, was exactly how their great–granddaughter, Pearl, used to do it when she was little. 

She remembered how they had tried so hard to correct Pearl’s fork–holding technique, but they never quite managed. 

Alyssa felt a pang in her heart as she thought of Pearl, who had been missing for years. 

She looked at Ellinor, who bore some resemblance to her missing granddaughter, and her mind filled with doubt and speculation. 

From the moment Alyssa first laid eyes on Ellinor, she thought the girl resembled Pearl, and their ages were even similar. 

People’s faces change as they age, but their demeanor and some habits often don’t. 

At first, Alyssa thought she was overthinking. 

But could this really be a coincidence? This kid not only resembled her granddaughter, Pearl, in demeanor, but even their fork–holding habits were the 

same! 

But Pearl had a distinctive mole in the middle of her eyebrows, which Ellinor didn’t have. 

As Ellinor put down her fork to sip her soup, Alyssa ventured to ask, “Ellinor, I just want to know a little about your family. You said your mom passed away. Is there anyone else in your family?” 

After hearing Grandma Alyssa’s question, Ellinor paused her soup–sipping, then replied, “No one else.” 

Dean thought it was rude for his wife to ask such questions, so he chided her, “Why are you asking things like that? Let the kid eat in peace!” 

Alyssa ignored her husband. She was too eager to confirm her suspicions. She looked deep into Ellinor’s face, “No one else? You mean you’re all alone?” 

Ellinor nodded, “Yeah, you could say that.” 

Alyssa asked again, “So, all your family members are deceased?” 

Dean discreetly kicked his wife under the table, signaling her to stop asking.
