The Kiss that Sparked it All

Chapter 1311

Byran’s face suddenly got all serious. “Let me make this clear, I ain’t no kid!”

Ellinor didn’t give him the time of day. “If you’re not gonna eat the meat, I’ll finish the whole thing!”

“Who said I ain’t eating meat? I’m eating!” Byran proudly declared while reaching out to pile more barbecue onto his plate.

This was a rare chance to chow down on barbecue, so he had to make the most of it.

Byran’s upbringing was strict; he never had any extra dough. Balfour was always worried that if Byran got his hands on too much cash, he’d go off the rails.

Apart from eating at the school canteen, he was always eating at home. Balfour also never let him eat fast food.

It wasn’t until he met Ida that he got the chance to eat out more often.

He felt a bit guilty. Ida footed the bill on every date.

He didn’t have a choice; he didn’t have any money and couldn’t work right now.

Once he got a job and started earning money, he was going to buy Ida loads of nice stuff to make it up to her.
