The Kiss that Sparked it All

Chapter 1378

Theo looked a bit surprised. “How can I deserve you if I don’t tackle this problem?”

Ellinor knitted her eyebrows. Her tone became serious as she clearly expressed her opinion. “The problem must be resolved, but there’s no need to rush. You can wait until after I give birth.”

Theo saw the worry in Ellinor’s eyes and squinted a bit, pretending not to understand. “Oh? Why’s that?”

Ellinor lowered her eyebrows, feeling a bit embarrassed as she voiced her concerns. “If something happens to you, I might go into labor at any moment, and I won’t be able to help you…”

Theo gazed deeply at Ellinor beside him as warmth radiated from his eyes. He had always been a self-reliant man; he had been solving his problems on his own since childhood. Everyone around him depended on him, and he had never experienced the feeling of being protected by someone else.

His parents had split up due to marital issues in their early years and went their separate ways, neither thinking about taking him, the product of their marriage, with them.

As a child, his elders constantly reminded him of his heavy responsibilities. He couldn’t cry or show weakness. He had to be strong to shoulder the responsibilities of the Blanchet family.
