The Kiss that Sparked it All

Chapter 796

The moment Ellinor heard the sound, she turned her head. She peered through the slightly ajar door and saw Fred

standing there.

When she came back, she purposely left the door a bit open to avoid any misunderstandings.

Byran might be young, but he was still a boy. And the Howard family was a bit of a minefield, especially with

Patricia, who could be a pain in the ass at any moment. It was better to be safe than sorry.

Ellinor walked over and opened the door. She politely replied to Fred, “Yes, Mr. Howard had a question he couldn’t

figure out, so I helped explain it to him.”

Byran in the back snorted, mumbling, “I didn’t ask for your help.”

Fred replied with a smile, 1 see. Sorry to trouble you. Lunch is ready, and Grandma Alyssa has some cookies she

baked just for you. She sent me to fetch

you.

Ellinor nodded, “Alright, I’ll be right there.”

Byran also put down his pen, “I want to try my grandma’s cookies too!”

Ellinor turned to him sternly, “Mr. Howard, you can’t go anywhere until you finish your homework.”

Byran didn’t take this lying down. He stood up to leave, I’m going! It’s my house; I can do what I want!”

Ellinor didn’t argue with him. She just calmly took out her phone, “Hello, Mr. Howard…

Byran immediately came back, grabbing her phone, “I give up! I’ll stay, okay? I’ll finish my homework.”

Ellinor put away her phone with satisfaction, “Good. Keep doing your homework. I won’t hog all your grandma’s

cookies; I’ll bring you some when you’re done.”

Byran glared at her unhappily. He had no choice but to go back to his homework.

Fred was a bit surprised by the whole scene. As they went downstairs, he couldn’t help but ask, “Ms. Mendoza, you

seem to know Mr. Howard pretty

well.”

Ellinor casually replied, “I wouldn’t say I know him well, but I do know the person he’s most afraid of is Mr. Howard.”

The Howard family’s lunch was quite fancy. It was specially prepared by Dean in his coffee room.

The coffee room had a great atmosphere, with one wall being a floor-to-ceiling window. Outside, you could see the

meticulously maintained garden. It was a relaxing spot that was perfect for dining and chatting.

The Howard family’s dining room was too big, and the table was too long and not conducive to conversation. It felt

very formal and was more suited for dinner parties

Alyssa added some more food to Ellinor’s plate, “Ellinor, we’ll keep lunch simple. Dinner is when Grandpa Dean will

have a feast prepared for you.”

Ellinor politely replied, “Thank you, Grandma Alyssa. This lunch is already quite fancy! Please don’t go all out for

dinner. Just stick to your usual standards; otherwise, I really can’t handle it.”

Dean said, “Ellinor, you’ve done me a huge favor. You can handle it. Now, no more being modest; eat up.”

Ellinor gave a helpless smile.

She knew it was pointless to say anything more, so she dropped the formalities, picked up her bowl, and focused on

her meal.
