Chapter 2469
“Grandma, it’s getting late. Maybe skip the coffee tonight? Too much, and you’ll be tossing and turning
all night.”
Alyssa offered a gentle smile, glad that Balfour had become more considerate of others after spending
so much time with Ivy.
“Don’t you worry, dear. I’m sipping on some chamomile, it’s harmless. You two have eased my mind a
lot since you’ve been back.”
Balfour arched an eyebrow, puzzled by his grandmother’s cryptic words.
“Still playing coy, are we? Haven’t you two taken your relationship to the next level?”
A blush tinged Balfour’s cheeks. He was in his twenties, and having his grandmother fuss over his love
life was embarrassing.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBut she was right – his relationship with Ivy had transformed. They had become inseparable since the
night he poured out his heart to her. Any walls between them had crumbled.
Now, a single glance was all it took to read each other’s thoughts.
Above all, he was certain of Ivy’s love for him. He wasn’t alone anymore; he had found his soulmate.
“But there’s one thing, dear, and pardon an old woman’s prattle. What are your plans regarding Mara?”
“Grandma, I’ve got it handled. Mara’s a person, not a possession. I can’t just snap my fingers and send
her packing. It takes time. But don’t worry, Ivy and I have talked it out. She understands there’s nothing
untoward between Mara and me.
Mara’s friend is coming to stay in the country soon, and they’ll be moving out to place. They won’t be
staying with us any longer. You needn’t fret over this, Grand in the loop, and we’ll handle it together.”
Hearing that they were working as a team put Alyssa’s mind at ease. She didn’t fea grandson leading
someone on; she trusted his character. Her main concern was tha might assume Ivy didn’t care and
thus keep her in the dark.
Regardless of whether Ivy minded about other women, Balfour had to tell her. It was th least he owed
his wife as a sign of respect.
“Okay, as long as you two are on the same page, I’m happy.”
“Don’t worry, Grandma. It’s getting late. You should head to bed.”
“Alright.”

Chapter 2469
It wasn’t until the film wrapped up that Ivy learned about the episode between Balfour and Clara. But
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthe past was the past, and Balfour had explained everything, so she wasn’t too upset.
“I’m just glad she didn’t take advantage of you. I’d be livid! And if she starts spewing nonsense online, I
couldn’t care less. I’ve been bad-mouthed enough already.”
Balfour chuckled softly. Ivy, it seemed, was still protective over the thought of someone taking
advantage of him.
“Who told you she nearly took advantage of me?”
With an exasperated roll of her eyes, Ivy retorted, “Do you think I’m jealous? This time, she just wanted
a kiss. What if next time she tries to poison you, Mr. Howard? Can you be a bit more vigilant next time?
Don’t go falling asleep in empty rooms. And with someone barging in without you noticing. Honestly,
how do you expect to run a company like that?”
