The Kiss that Sparked it All

Chapter 1671

Ellinor shook her head. “Hatred stems from memory, Mr. Howard. I have no recollection of you. I don’t hate you, but I don’t like you either. I don’t want anything to do with you.”

McNeil looked at his headstrong daughter, feeling a hint of defeat. Despite her harsh demeanor, he felt this was the happiest moment he’d had in the past twenty years.

After a moment of silence, he laughed. “Ellinor, you’re so much like your mother. She used to talk to me like that too.”

Ellinor frowned and rolled her eyes in disgust. “Don’t mention my mother. You’re not worthy of her!”

McNeil was not surprised by her response. His elder son had said the same thing to him. He sighed. “I’m sorry, I…”

Ellinor had no patience for his empty apologies. “Enough! I’m here because your son begged me. He came to our house and got on his knees. I hope you can be responsible for your family and children from now on. Don’t cause them any more worry. Wake up, Mr. Howard! You’re not getting any younger.”

McNeil looked at his daughter, who was standing less than a meter away. Yet he couldn’t reach out to touch her.
