The Kiss that Sparked it All

Chapter 1312

Balfour stared at her quietly for a while and then slowly cracked a smile. “No worries. You just seem a bit off today. Didn’t you sleep well last night?”

Ellinor replied, “I’m good. I just had a few dreams.”

Balfour stood up and gently patted Ellinor’s head. “Don’t overthink before bed, then you won’t dream.”

Ellinor nodded slightly.

Balfour turned to Byran beside him, his tone getting serious. “Byran, I got someone to call in sick for you today. Stay home and keep Ellinor company.”

Byran stared at him in surprise. What? Did he hear that right? Balfour actually helped him skip school?

Seeing his brother’s surprise, Balfour reminded him sternly. “Even though I got you off, your teacher left homework for you. It better be done before I get home from work.”

“Oh, got it…” Byran nodded obediently. He didn’t expect to have homework even on a day off. But hey, doing homework at home wasn’t that bad. He could even sneak out for a bit while Balfour was out.

After Balfour left, Byran turned to Ellinor in amazement.
