The Kiss that Sparked it All (Ellinor and Theo) novel Chapter 964

Chapter 964 

She tried to show off her body, hoping to stir up her husband’s desire. 

But McNeil just focused on her face, saying, “If you really want it that badly, I don’t mind if you find another man to satisfy you.” 

With that, he walked past Xenia, heading towards his room. 

Xenia felt deeply insulted. She was one of the campus beauties in her youth, and she had many suitors. But McNeil was the only one who 

didn’t care about her. 

This man, who was indifferent to her and only interested in her best friend, Marlinie Bagley, somehow made her fall head over heels. She was 

determined to win him over. 

“McNeil what’s wrong with me compared to Marlinie? You don’t even want to touch me? My body is way better than hers!” 

At the mention of Marlinie, McNeil paused, then said in a deep voice, “Don’t mention her.” 

But Xenia insisted, “She’s a fickle woman; she cheated on you and had a daughter behind your back and let you raise her! Am I worse than that kind of woman, McNeil?” 

‘Shut up or get out of this house!” McNeil suddenly snapped. 

Xenia was taken aback. McNeil was usually cold to her but rarely lost his temper. 

Just the mention of Marlinie made him react so strongly. After all these years, he still hadn’t forgotten about Marlinie? 

McNeil didn’t want to say more to Xenia, let alone listen to her. He went into his room and closed the door. 

Xenia had to awkwardly button up her clothes and sort out her thoughts. She decided to put her emotional issues aside and find a way to help her daughter get out of her predicament. 

On the other side. 

Ellinor walked out of the Howard family’s gate, heading towards the nearest subway station alone. 

It was hard to get a ride, and there were no bus stops near this wealthy neighborhood. 

A black car pulled up next to her. The window rolled down, and Balfour leaned out, saying gently, “Ellinor, get in. Your brother will give you a 

lift to wherever you’re going.” 

Ellinor glanced at him but didn’t stop, “I don’t have a brother.” 

Balfour was disappointed but couldn’t do anything about it. He sighed, “As a friend then, can I give you a lift?” 

Ellinor kept walking, not looking at him again, “Mr. Howard, when did we become friends?” 

Balfour fell silent.
