The Kiss that Sparked it All (Ellinor and Theo) novel Chapter 998

Chapter 998 

McNeil asked with a bit of surprise, “You don’t mind Theo Blanchet taking the kid he adopted with Patri to live with him?” 

Ellinor glanced at McNeil, Whether I mind or not doesn’t matter. The kid is back in the picture, and someone has to raise him. Anyway, it’s not the kid’s 

fault.” 

McNeil looked at her with a hint of admiration. 

Where could you find a girl who is this open-hearted, willing to accept a child her husband adopted with another woman? 

At this point, the butler for the Howard family rushed over and whispered something in Dean’s ear, and his face instantly darkened, “What? Send more people to search immediately!” 

The butler nodded and took the order, then turned to leave. 

Dean looked at Ellinor with a complex expression, “Ellinor, why don’t you go home and rest for today? As for the kid, we’ll think about whether to let you and the Blanchet family take him.” 

Ellinor nodded and said, “All right, I’ll wait for your message then. I’ll take my leave now.” 

She then stood up, bid everyone politely, and prepared to leave. 

McNeil also stood up, “Let me walk you out.” 

Ellinor was pretty cold towards this irresponsible father. There was a hint of rejection in her eyes, “Please stay. I know my way out; no need for you to accompany me.” 

McNeil stopped in his tracks rather helplessly, “All right then, take care on your way.” 

“Mm,” Ellinor responded briefly, then turned to leave. 

Once she left the Howard family’s gate, she got into a black car that was waiting for her. 

In the car, Theo was sprawled out in the back seat, his long fingers tapping away at a laptop. Hearing Ellinor get in the car, he glanced at her, “Did you clear things up with the Howard family?” 

Ellinor nodded and retorted, “All explained.” 

Theo tapped a few more keys, then closed the laptop, gently caressing her cheek, “It was their people who framed you. Now that it’s all clear, you didn’t really need to explain anything to them anymore.” 

Ellinor said, “I’ve explained everything to the elders of the Howard family to prevent Patricia and her mother from finding more opportunities to prove their innocence and continue causing trouble. Their actions didn’t affect me much, but the losses to the Blanchet Corporation are irreversible. Although the Blanchet Corporation’s stocks are recovering, we still need to be especially careful and not give them more opportunities to stir things up.” 

Theo looked at her deeply, smiling slightly, “Not bad; are you thinking about me?” 

Ellinor ignored his joke, “By the way, I asked the Howard family for the custody of Baber. They said they would consider it and let us know.” 

Theo was slightly taken aback, “Why?”
