The Kiss that Sparked it All

Chapter 1

“If we get hitched, you gotta quit your job and stay home. Take care of me, and pop out a healthy baby boy within a year!! don’t want a girl, cause girls need more parenting!”

The man said with a smug grin.

Ellinor Mendoza looked at her blind date, a balding, chubby man in his forties.

Her stepmother, Tracy, must have wanted her to settle for a less desirable man, hence the pressure to meet this unsuitable

date.

The middle–aged man had initially criticized Ellinor’s makeup, but seeing her slim figure and decent demeanor, he figured she was quite the catch.

He then asked, “How tall are you?”

Ellinor, bored stiff, stirred her coffee nonchalantly and replied softly, “5‘ 6“.”

The middle–aged man seemed pleased. “Hmm, your height is just about right for me. I’m about 5‘ 7“. You might need to stand on your toes when we kiss. But no worries, I can bend down a bit for you!”

Ellinor’s eyelid twitched slightly. “Sir, I think you might be misunderstood. A man who needs a woman to stand on her toes to kiss him should be somewhat taller than you.”

The middle–aged man frowned, displeased. “What do you mean?”

Just then, a tall and imposing man walked into the coffee shop, radiating a strong aura.

Ellinor glanced up and noticed the man. She got up and walked over to him.

“Excuse me, handsome. Could you come over here for a second?”

The magnificent man’s gaze turned cold. Before he could decline, Ellinor grabbed his tie, stood on her toes, and planted a precise kiss on his lips.

“See? You should at least be as tall as him to deserve a woman standing on her toes for a kiss.”

“You…”
