The Kiss that Sparked it All

Chapter 1430

Ellinor snapped back to reality and shook her head. “Nothing really. After work, I’m going to pick up Baber and the twins from the daycare. Are you coming with me, or do you want to head home first?”

Without a second thought, Veronica replied, “I’ll come with you. I promised Baber and the twins that I’d treat them to pizza today.”

Ellinor hummed in response as she set down her bottle of mineral water and waved Veronica off. “You go ahead. I still have some work to finish.”

“Oh, okay…”

After Veronica obediently nodded, left, and closed the door behind her, her cheerful demeanor swiftly changed into a gloomy one.

Ellinor, her sister-in-law, had it tough. She managed her brother’s company while looking after three kids, one of whom was adopted due to certain circumstances, but she treated him as her own without any bias anyway.

Her brother, on the other hand, had been MIA for the past three years, leaving no trace or news behind.
