The Kiss that Sparked it All

Chapter 920
What did the middle-aged woman mean when she said ‘repair’? Everyone there was an adult, and they all knew what she meant.
Only Veronica didn’t get it.
Veronica frowned, unable to resist asking curiously, “Repair what?”
Her question drew disdainful looks from everyone present, leaving the middle-aged woman speechless.
Veronica’s grandmother smacked her hand in annoyance, “Kids shouldn’t interrupt when adults are talking!”

Veronica pulled back her slightly stinging hand, clueless about what she’d asked wrong. She sulked, “Grandma, I’m not a kid anymore; I’m even older than Ellinort”
Her grandmother frowned, “This isn’t your business; go back to your room!”
“Alright, I’ll shut up.”
She didn’t really want to go back to her room; she wanted to stay and see how things turned out.
Although she never really liked Ellinor, she didn’t believe Ellinor was the problem child the middle-aged woman was making her out to be.
She had tried to find out what was wrong with Ellinor but found that, apart from being average, Ellinor had no issues.
Seeing Theo silent, the middle-aged woman seized the opportunity to say, “Mr. Blanchet, you come from a prestigious family; you really shouldn’t marry a liar like Ellinor, she’s not worthy of you.
But it’s not too late; with your status and conditions, it would be easy for you to find a good girl after a divorce.”
Theo looked at the woman without changing his expression, “Ma’am, it sounds like you know a lot about this ‘repair’ procedure you speak of.”
“Uh…” The middle-aged woman was obviously awkward when it came to talking about ‘repair’ procedures; she said unnaturally, “I’ve seen some ads and heard some girls wi `repair’ themselves so they could marry into a good family. Mr. Blanchet, you must be careful!”
