The Kiss that Sparked it All

Chapter 1644

Marcus’ eyes darted to Thaddeus’s face, swiftly changing the subject. “What? You didn’t get a chance to meet our savior?”

Sophia pulled out a chair and sat down as her gaze flickered over to Lea, who was heartily enjoying her meal, her voice laced with a hint of annoyance. “Meet who? There was no one in that upstairs booth. Whoever it was had their meal and left ages ago. I think Lea’s just bored and pulling our legs.”

Lea blinked, a frown appearing on her face as she glared at the sarcastic Sophia. Then her eyes flickered over to Marcus.

Marcus was outwardly calm, but inwardly he was impressed. No wonder Ellinor sat so confidently. She was already prepared, having cleared out the upstairs private room beforehand.

Following Sophia’s suggestive comment, Thaddeus really did think Lea was just messing with them. He grunted unhappily and sternly. “Lea, when did you learn to play pranks?”

Lea opened her mouth to retort, but after seeing the meaningful look in Marcus’ eyes, she changed her mind. “Well, you always favor Sophia, so I thought I’d play a prank on you to vent my frustration. Is that not allowed?”

Thaddeus’ eyebrows furrowed. “So you did it on purpose?”
