The Kiss that Sparked it All

Chapter 210

The sound of Haillie’s voice made Ellinor spin around, only to find Haillie leading a chestnut horse and watching her from a distance

“Haillie, has your foot already healed” Ellinor asked

Belinda had gone to another row of stables to fetch her horse, leaving the two of them alone. Haillie’s pretentious friendliness was gone as she openly showed hostility

towards Ellinor

“My foot’s still busted, but that little scratch ain’t stopping me from riding!”

Haillie had wailed so dramatically when she got hurt that any passerby might’ve thought she’d been maimed

And now, here she was, standing and leading a horse as if nothing had happened. She must’ve been pretending back then, otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to ride so soon

Ellinor simply smiled. “That’s good to know”

She didn’t want to engage with Haillie any further and without giving her another glance, she continued towards the horse she’d chosen.

Just then, Haillie scoffed, “Ellinor. I’d steer clear of that horse if I were you. Even if you manage to lead it out, you won’t be able to ride it!”

Ellinor paused. Haillie’s words didn’t sound like a taunt. She glanced at the horse, then back at Haillie, “What do you mean, Haillie?”

Haillie looked at her with disdain. That horse already has an owner, and it only listens to its owner. No one else has been able to ride it so far!”

Ellinor was curious. “And who’s the owner?”

“You’re not worthy of knowing who the owner is! If I were you, I’d pick another horse, otherwise, you’ll scare the living daylights out of the others!”

Haillie’s dislike for her was now clear.

Ellinor, however, found this conversation quite enjoyable and responded with a smile, “Thanks for the heads up, but can I ask you one more thing?” Haillie frowned and looked at her with contempt. “What now?”

Ellinor asked, “Haillie, do you dislike me because you have a crush on Theo?”

Haillie explained straight up. “Theo, Jonah, and I have been friends since we were kids. Our relationship is pure and not something a woman like you would understand!” Ellinor wasn’t bothered by her insult and asked, “If you’re not into Theo, why are you targeting me? The watch incident and today’s incident were both deliberate setups, weren’t they? You’re just trying to make Theo hate me, right?”

Without showing any guilt, Haillie nodded, “Since you’re so eager to know, I’ll tell you straight up. Patricia’s my best friend and I can’t stand by and watch a woman like you steal him it’d break her heart!”

Ellinor caught on immediately, “So your bestie is Byrans sister?”

“Exactly!

“She must be a wonderful person for you all to care for her so much.”

Haillie was proud and overjoyed when talking about her bestie, “Absolutely! Patricia Howard is the best girl in the world! She’s noble, kind, and academically outstanding You can’t hold a candle to her!”

“Is that so?” Ellinor asked nonchalantly

Haillie was irked by Ellinor’s indifference. Nothing seemed to bother her. So, she said fiercely, Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

“Ellinor, since we’re already talking about Patricia, let me tell you more about her! Theo and Patricia were great together. They only broke up because of family conflicts, but that doesn’t mean you can just waltz in and marry Theo!”
