Chapter 2425


    Seren bit her lower lip, a silent prayer in her heart that Mara would remember their bond.


    Meanwhile, Mara remained unconscious in her hospital bed, and Balfour ensured she had no issues


    before departing.


    However, instead of heading home, he found himself driving to Ivy''s dorm building.


    He sat quietly in his car, the reasons for his presence there blurred in his mind. All he knew was that


    on this particr night, he had an overwhelming urge to see Ivy.


    Ivy was utterly baffled when her phone rang, and Balfour''s name shed on the screen. After being


    swamped with rehearsals all day, she didn''t get back to her dorm until ten at night.


    “Hello?” she answered, her eyes still heavy with sleep, barely registering the gentle breathing on the


    other end.


    Blinking away the grogginess, Ivy pulled the phone away to double-check the caller ID. Balfour?


    "Why are you calling at this hour? Hello? Why aren''t you saying anything?”


    Was something wrong?


    Suddenly wide awake, Ivy sat bolt upright in bed. “Come on, talk to me. What''s going on?”


    “It''s nothing urgent,” he finally said, his voice cutting through the darkness like a beacon. “I just


    wanted to see you.”


    Her voice came out a bit raspy, “Aren’t you supposed to be with Ms. Lewis?”


    “I want to see you. What does she have to do with it?"


    For some reason, just hearing Ivy''s voice seemed to rx Balfour. He leaned back in his seat, closing


    his eyes and picturing her in her bed, talking to him, and he felt an immense sense offort wash


    over him.


    Ivy couldn“t help the acidic tinge in her voice. “Didn''t you think I was guilty of that thing? Why call


    me now? Don''t you find me, this vile woman, loathsome?”


    Despite her joking tone, bitterness lingered in her heart.


    Upon hearing Ivy bring up the incident, Balfour straightened up, his tone serious as he apologized.


    “I was just panicked back then. I know I was wrong; I''ve never really thought you would do such a


    thing.”


    Ivy froze, the apology and the dyed trust from Balfour finally reaching her after all this


    time.

    She turned her face away, sniffling. “I''m not angry. I wouldn''t hold a grudge over something like


    that.”


    Balfour chuckled softly. “Of course not. Ms. Dunhill, you''re too generous to bother with


    the likes of me.


    His deep voice sent a shiver through Ivy as it traveled from the phone to her ear.


    "Ahem, if you''ve got something to say, say it. It''ste. What do you want?”


    The moment Ivy had picked up the call, she felt nothing but concern for Balfour, not a trace of


    impatience.


    Balfour, realizing this, felt a sense of satisfaction. No matter what, this woman would always open


    her heart to him.


    “I want to see you. It''s as simple as that.”


    Ivy fell silent, unsure of how to respond. She feared she might be reading too much into it. Could he


    just be joking?This content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org .


    She didn''t want to be the only one taking everything seriously anymore. After everything they''d


    been through, if she was the only one who cared, wouldn''t that be just pitiful?
