The Kiss that Sparked it All

Chater 472

Chapter 472

Patricia looked up with those innocent, helpless eyes that made you wanna shield her from the world,

like a harmless little deer. “But..”

Haillie got up, rapped lightly on Ellinor’s desk, then crossed her arms and said in a haughty tone, Listen

up, Ellinor! The kid’s asleep on the couch in Balfour’s office Patricia and I are stepping out for a bit, but

we ll be back soon! If anything happens to the kid while we’re gone, it’s on you!”

Ellinor didn’t even bother to look up and was ready to refuse

But Haillie didn’t give her the chance and took Patricia’s hand ‘Let’s go, Patricia”

Ellinor frowned, looking up just in time to see Patricia and Haillie’s backs disappear into the elevator

Ellinor was dumbfounded

Haillie’s actions were understandable, but Patricia was a mother How could she just hand her child

over to a stranger so easily?

Something about this just didn’t sit right

But whatever, it was none of Ellinors business what Patricia did

However, with Me Howard out and a kid alone in the office it was definitely not safe

After some thought, Ellinor took her laptop and headed to the CEOs office

The little boy just as Haillie had said was sound asleep on the couch covered with Patricia’s coat

Not wanting to wake him, Ellinor tiptoed over and placed her laptop on the table

occasionally glancing at the boy to check if he was awake or if he’d fallen off

During this time, Balfour didn’t return, and in a blink, over an hour had passed, and Ellinor finally

finished her translation task and stretched.

Seeing that the boy was still asleep, she decided to rest

for a bit too

Not long after, she heard the boy crying and immediately looked over

Patricia’s son had woken up and was sitting up looking around as if searching for his mother

When he saw Ellinor, he suddenly looked terrified and burst into tears

Ellinor was taken aback by his sudden crying and felt at a loss

Even though she was pregnant, she had no experience when it came to calming a child

“Uh… Your mom will be back soon, don’t cry!”

A one-year-old couldn’t really talk or understand adult words, so he didn’t stop crying

When Ellinor tried to get up to comfort him, he only cried harder at the sight of her approaching, as if

she were some scary monster

Not knowing what else to do, Ellinor stopped in her tracks, “Okay, I won’t come any closer, can you

stop crying now?”

He completely ignored her and climbed off the couch wobbling towards the door.

Ellinor couldn’t let a small child run out alone, so she quickly followed, “Wait..
