The Kiss that Sparked it All

Chapter 44

Chapter 44

At the entrance of the BBQ joint, Theo stepped out of the car and followed Ellinor inside

Standing by the car, Collin watched Theo’s retreating figure with awe

When Ellinor said she wanted BBQ, he dialed Theo on autopilot, informing him of Ms. Mendoza’s request. He didn’t expect Theo to agree to ditch their upscale dinner reservation for a BBQ joint.

Theo’s attitude towards Ellinor was clearly out of the ordinary

However, he wondered if Theo could stomach the smell of BBQ.

Inside the BBQ joint, the air was thick with the scent of grilled meat and smoke.

Ellinor sat by the window, pen in hand, ticking off dishes on the menu before looking up and asking Theo, “Can you handle spicy?”

Sitting across from her, Theo nodded and said, “Sure.”

Ellinor acknowledged and chose the spicy seasoning.

The seating in the BBQ joint was very close–knit. You could hear the conversations of the people next to you clearly

“Look at that guy, he’s so hot!*

“He really is!”

“Is that girl across from him his girlfriend? She looks a lot younger than him!”

“Maybe she’s his sister.”

“I’m so jealous, I wish I had a hot brother like that!”

“Well, I’m different. I don’t want a brother, I want a husband that handsome!”

A handsome man in a suit, sitting in a BBQ joint, stood out and caught the attention of the female diners at nearby tables.

Theo looked around the noisy environment, his face stern, “Isn’t there a quieter private room?”

Ellinor chuckled, “Who needs a private room for BBQ? It’s supposed to be eaten in a bustling environment, that’s when it’s the best!” This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

Theo looked at her, not understanding but choosing to comply with her wishes.

After Ellinor finished ordering, she handed the menu to Theo, I’m done; anything else you want to add?”

Theo took the menu, handed it to the waitress, and said, “A bottle of mineral water, please.”

The waitress had been staring at Theo’s face until he gave her a puzzled and impatient look. She snapped out of it, took the menu, and awkwardly smiled, “Okay, sir, please wait a moment”

After the waitress left, Ellinor pulled out her phone to play games while waiting for the food. She and Theo had nothing in common to discuss

Suddenly, there was a knock on the window

Ellinor looked over and saw Belinda standing outside the BBQ joint, her face pressed to the window, looking at them in surprise and joy.

Upon closer inspection, Ellinor noticed two other people beside Belinda. One was the curly haired bombshell with Theo at the Twilight Bar yesterday, and the other was the online friend who almost tripped her.

Belinda soon excitedly rushed into the BBQ joint to find them, “Uncle, I thought I had mistaken you! I didn’t expect you to dine in such a small restaurant!”

Theo looked at Ellinor seriously, nodding slightly, “She wanted to eat here.”

His tone was flat, but that short sentence shocked the young man and the woman with curly hair who had followed Belinda….

So he was willing to come here because she wanted to eat here Has Ellinor really achieved such a high status in Theo’s eyes?
