The Kiss that Sparked it All

Chapter 36

Theo kept a poker face. “Maybe it wasn’t necessary before, but during our marriage it was. I won’t allow my reputation to be tarnished. So, any thoughts of getting cozy with other men can’t happen again.”

Ellinor rolled her eyes, turned her gaze to the street view outside the car window, and let out a sarcastic snort. “You can’t even hold yourself to that, yet you expect me to? Aren’t you also secretly meeting other women in public?”

Theo looked deeply at her. “Are you jealous?”

Ellinor seemed confused and pulled a grimace. “Jealous? We aren’t really husband and wife! I’m pissed off. I’m pissed off that you forcibly kissed me without any notice and nearly suffocated me!”

Theo lightly raised his eyebrows. “If I recall correctly, you didn’t give me any notice the last time you kissed me.”

Ellinor was momentarily speechless and her brows furrowed. “Cough! That’s different, isn’t it? I just pecked you lightly. I didn’t even use my tongue…”
