The Kiss That Sparked it All Chapter 964
Chapter 964
She tried to show off her body, hoping to stir up her husband’s desire.
But McNeil just focused on her face, saying, “If you really want it that badly, I don’t mind if you find another man to satisfy you.”
With that, he walked past Xenia, heading towards his room.
Xenia felt deeply insulted. She was one of the campus beauties in her youth, and she had many suitors. But McNeil was the only one who
didn’t care about her.
This man, who was indifferent to her and only interested in her best friend, Marlinie Bagley, somehow made her fall head over heels. She was
determined to win him over.
“McNeil what’s wrong with me compared to Marlinie? You don’t even want to touch me? My body is way better than hers!”
At the mention of Marlinie, McNeil paused, then said in a deep voice, “Don’t mention her.”
But Xenia insisted, “She’s a fickle woman; she cheated on you and had a daughter behind your back and let you raise her! Am I worse than that kind of woman, McNeil?”
‘Shut up or get out of this house!” McNeil suddenly snapped.
Xenia was taken aback. McNeil was usually cold to her but rarely lost his temper.
Just the mention of Marlinie made him react so strongly. After all these years, he still hadn’t forgotten about Marlinie?
McNeil didn’t want to say more to Xenia, let alone listen to her. He went into his room and closed the door.
Xenia had to awkwardly button up her clothes and sort out her thoughts. She decided to put her emotional issues aside and find a way to help her daughter get out of her predicament.
On the other side.
Ellinor walked out of the Howard family’s gate, heading towards the nearest subway station alone.
It was hard to get a ride, and there were no bus stops near this wealthy neighborhood.
A black car pulled up next to her. The window rolled down, and Balfour leaned out, saying gently, “Ellinor, get in. Your brother will give you a
lift to wherever you’re going.”
Ellinor glanced at him but didn’t stop, “I don’t have a brother.”
Balfour was disappointed but couldn’t do anything about it. He sighed, “As a friend then, can I give you a lift?”
Ellinor kept walking, not looking at him again, “Mr. Howard, when did we become friends?”
Balfour fell silent.
He understood why his sister was rejecting him. After all, he hadn’t treated her well before and had said many hurtful things.
He didn’t have the courage to directly ask her for forgiveness. So he thought for a moment, told the driver to stop the car, got out, and decided to walk with her.
Ellinor noticed a tall figure next to her. She frowned and was not too pleased, “Mr. Howard, if you want to take a walk, can you choose somewhere else? You’re blocking my sun!”
“Sorry.” Balfour said awkwardly, slowing his pace and moving to the other side of his sister.
Ellinor gave him a sidelong glance but didn’t say anything else.
Although she was a bit annoyed, the road was public, and she had no right to stop Balfour from getting out of the car and walking.
The two walked in silence. After about ten minutes, they reached a crosswalk, with the subway station just across the street.
