The Kiss that Sparked it All (Ellinor and Theo) Chapter 192

Upon seeing Collin, Elinor scowled and said. “How did he know I was in the hospital”

This moming. Theo only dropped her off at the Mendoza family’s front door

Did he have someone tailing me?

Collin explained, “Because you have his phone, he can track its location.”

“Oh.”

Elinor looked down at the phone in her hand, feeling a bit peeved at being remotely monitored.

Collin continued, “He also knew you called an ambulance, but because of an important meeting in the

company today, he couldn’t leave and asked me to check on you.”

“I’m fine, it’s my stepmother who got a bit hurt”

“Glad to hear you’re okay. Mrs Blanchet”

The way Collin kept addressing her as Mrs. Blanchet made Elinor feel uncomfortable

She remembered that before this, Collin always called her Ms. Mendoza, she wasn’t sure why he

suddenly changed his tune.

She didn’t want to delve into the issue of a simple address, so she asked, “Where does Theo want you

to take me?“,

Collin replied, “Nowhere in particular, he just ordered me to get you home safely.”

It seemed that last night’s kidnapping incident had made Theo more cautious

“Alright, let’s go then!” Elinor nodded, saving herself the hassle of hailing a cab.

She was worn out and just wanted to get home and rest!

As the car drove along. Elinor rested her cheek on her hand and stared out the window, lost in thought,

her emotions a jumble.

Today, Chase told her that she wasn’t Arnold’s biological child, and the news was a big blow to her.

If she wasn’t Arnold’s daughter, then whose daughter was she?

Who was her biological father? Why did he abandon her and her mother?

And why did Arnold take her back to the Mendoza family, raising a child with no blood ties to him?

What was his motive?

Moreover, Arnold didn’t really want to raise her. Not long after he brought her home, he sent her to the

countryside!

All these questions formed a giant puzzle in her mind.

By the time the car reached the Blanchet family home, Elinor had fallen asleep.

Collin carefully woke her up

“We’re here.”

Elinor rubbed her eyes and woke up. She looked out the window to confirm they were at the Blanchets,

then unbuckled her seatbelt and got out of the car.

Collin quickly followed, saying, “Wait a moment, please!”

Elinor stopped and turned around, asking sleepily, “What’s up?”

Collin went around to the back of the car and opened the trunk. “He had some stuff for me to give to

you; come see if it’s what you were looking for”

What stuff?

Elinor was puzzled, walked over, and saw in the trunk three beautifully wrapped paintings–the three

remaining works of her mother from the Bartlett Rex gallery!

Collin explained. “These are the three paintings he bought for you; check if they’re the ones you

wanted”

Elinor was momentarily stunned, then realization hit her: ‘Oh, yes! But how did Theo get this painting?

Didn’t Bartlett say he wouldn’t sell it?”

Collin explained, ‘Bartlett and Mr. Blanchet are old friends, and a lot of Bartlett’s business relies on

cooperation with the Blanchet family, so naturally he would give Mr. Blanchet some special privileges”

So that’s how it was!

Elinor gently stroked the paintings, feeling deeply moved. It felt like, through these paintings, she could

touch the warmth of her long lost mother….

So, when Theo said he would treat her well this morning, this was what he meant!
