The Kiss that Sparked it All

Chapter 1830

When Veronica got the news, she was out on a date with her boyfriend, Moran.

Upon receiving the call from home, she rushed back immediately, bringing Moran along. After bursting through the door, she excitedly threw her arms around Ellinor. “Ellinor! Ellinor! My brother’s back, right? Is it true?”

Ellinor was almost knocked off balance by Veronica’s enthusiasm. She steadied herself before responding, “Yes, it’s true.”

Tears of joy spilled from Veronica’s eyes. “He’s really back! Where is he? Where’s my brother?”

“He’s taking a shower.” Ellinor replied. “Let me go; I can barely breathe. You’ll see him soon.”

Realizing she was gripping Ellinor too tightly, Veronica quickly released Ellinor. “I’m sorry, Ellinor. I’m just… I’m just so overwhelmed!”

Her excitement was so palpable that she almost fell backwards. Fortunately, Moran was there to catch her.

After steadying Veronica, Moran turned to Ellinor with an embarrassed smile. “Sorry, Ellinor. She doesn’t know her own strength.”
