    Chapter 2245


    Ivy rubbed her temples and let out a weary sigh, “Nn.”


    There had always been a clear-cut, tonic air between them, so why did he have to drop such flirty


    hints in front of Balfour?


    But Ivy had called out for Nn first, further fueling Balfour’s simmering discontent.


    Struggling to keep his anger in check, he wanted Nn to vanish from his sight, posthaste.


    Nn, catching the plea in Ivy’s call, shot her a reassuring nce, only to find her gaze fixed firmly


    elsewhere. He managed a bitter smile.


    “Alright, I get it. You rest up, okay? I’ll drop by another time to check on you…”


    Sadly, Nn was cut off mid-sentence by the sound of the hospital room door mming shut.


    After Nn left, Balfour didn’t even spare a nce at Ivy lying on the hospital bed. He continued to


    unpack his things, enveloped in a frosty aura that made it evident he was anything but pleased.


    “Did you go home earlier? Did you water the geraniums on the windowsill? And did you bring the


    pajamas I always wear?” Ivy racked her brain for conversation, hoping to defuse his anger.


    She had been looking forward to Balfour’spany, and now she found herself in a rather awkward


    predicament.


    But Balfour was seething, clueless about what Nn and Ivy might have discussed in his absence.


    When did they be so chummy? And how on earth did Nn find out Ivy was in this hospital room?


    Once Ivy fell asleep, he resolved to pay a personal visit to the production set to investigate the ins and


    outs of the incident.


    Even though Ivy couldn’t recall the details, she felt as if she might have been entangled by seaweed, or


    perhaps it was just her own panic that prevented her from surfacing for air.


    But Balfour had a gut feeling that there was more to the story.


    “Why did you take so long toe? Didn’t you tell ra you’d be back in an hour?”


    Ivy’s tone held a tinge of gloom, which finally made Balfour turn around.


    “You had Nn forpany; did you really need me?”


    Ivy was taken aback, “I had no idea Nn knew I was here. I certainly didn’t tell him I was at the


    hospital!”


    “There’s no need to exin. You seemed quite happy calling out ‘Nn’ over and over, didn’t you?”


    Ivy’s brows furrowed, sensing Balfour’s jealousy. His tone, however, made her ufortable, almost


    as if he were using her of secret rendezvous with Nn.


    “Nn and I are simply friends, without any sleazy undertones,” she asserted, her tone growing sharp.


    Balfour, having finished unpacking, ceased his pretense of busyness to face her.


    “Then how do you exin his ambiguousments?” Balfour challenged, locking eyes with her.


    “How should I know why he’d say something like that out of the blue? I can only be responsible for my


    own actions, not others’. All I can say is, Nn is just a guy I know well-nothing more!”


    Ivy was irate, feeling like Balfour was ying a game of ‘do as I say, not as I do’. He himself was the


    one who had a questionable thing with that woman, Mara, and she hadn’t even pressed him on it. Yet


    here he was, ying the victim!


    Balfour snorted, “A guy friend? Seems to me he’s itching to be more than just a friend!”From N?velDrama.Org.
