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…”

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.
