Chapter 2469


    “Grandma, it’s gettingte. Maybe skip the coffee tonight? Too much, and you’ll be tossing and turning


    all night.”


    Alyssa offered a gentle smile, d that Balfour had be 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 ying coy, are we? Haven’t you two taken your rtionship 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.


    But she was right – his rtionship with Ivy had transformed. They had be inseparable since the


    night he poured out his heart to her. Any walls between them had crumbled.


    Now, a single nce 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 ns 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 ising to stay in the country soon, and they’ll be moving out to ce. 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 gettingte. You should head to bed.”


    “Alright.”


    It wasn’t until the film wrapped up that Ivy learned about the episode between Balfour and ra. But


    the past was the past, and Balfour had exined everything, so she wasn’t too upset.


    “I’m just d 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 vignt next time?All rights ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Don’t go falling asleep in empty rooms. And with someone barging in without you noticing. Honestly,


    how do you expect to run apany like that?”
