The Kiss that Sparked it All

Chapter 1497

Ellinor chuckled lightly. “What brings you here so early, Bryan?”

Bryan shrugged. “Nothing major. Didn’t we agree yesterday that I would come to the Blanchet family’s house to see you and the kids? I’m still jet-lagged and couldn’t sleep at all last night. I’m tired this morning, but if I sleep now, I’ll never adjust to the local time. So, I figured I’d come over early, wait for you to finish work, and then we could go pick up the kids together. I haven’t seen my niece and nephews for three years.”

Ellinor glanced at him. “Aren’t you supposed to start working at the Howard Group? Mr. Howard did assign you there, didn’t he?”

Bryan frowned. “My brother did plan to position me in the company, but I just got back to the country. Shouldn’t I have some time to adjust?”

Ellinor thought about it and agreed. She sat down and took a sip of her coffee. “Speaking of which, I haven’t asked you yet. What was up with you yesterday? Are you running after Ida again?”

At the mention of Ida, Bryan’s face showed a complex expression. He leaned back, looking nonchalant.

“I didn’t go after her. I just happened to bump into her at a business event, so we had a chat.”
