Chapter 2506
“Do you really think Alyssa won’t see right through that store-bought gift? She’ll just think I didn’t put my
heart into it.”
Deep down, Ivy was more than willing to craft something with her own hands to give to Alyssa, but
such a gift might seem a bit too “modest” for someone of Alyssa’s standing.

To those high society folks, sincerity is ironically the cheapestmodity. Ivy knew she had to present
something of tangible value to Alyssa to properly show her respect.
Balfour leaned in and nuzzled Ivy’s cheek, which was as soft as a baby’s skin.
He couldn’t resist doing it every time, and though Ivy yfully swatted at his face when she got fed up,
her touch was so gentle it barely counted. Regardless, Balfour continued to do as he pleased, leaving
Ivy to her solitary fretting.
“If you start thinking like the rest of those snobs, that’s when Grandma will truly be heartbroken. She’ll
treasure whatever you give her. If you really want to show her how you feel, then put your own touch on
something,” he said.
Their family had climbed the socialdder to this lofty position, and if Ivy couldn’t even do what she
wanted, then what was the point of all their efforts?
Balfour had always said Ivy shouldn’t worry so much. Whatever she chose to give to Alyssa, people
would p and cheer anyway. The line of those looking to curry favor with Ivy could stretch from here
to the moon.
Now, as the legitimate granddaughter-inw of the Howard family, who would dare give her the cold
shoulder?
Even if some turned their noses up at Ivy’s gift, they’d only do so behind closed doors. Those who
couldn’t help but make snide remarks to her face wouldn’t be caught dead at a Howard family
gathering.
With Balfour’s reassurances, Ivy sighed and said with a pout, “Alright then, I’ll knit her-a scarf. It’s been
chilly when we go outtely, and she loves her strolls in the garden. A scarf could keep her warm. What
do you think?”
To Balfour, nothing could represent Ivy’s sentiments better than her handiwork, but he couldn’t help but
quip, “I haven’t even received a scarf you’ve knitted for me.”
Ivy just pinched his lips shut. Their romance hadn’t followed the typical path. Most couples would get to
know each other, fall in love, and exchange handmade gifts. But Ivy and Balfour had skipped all that.
“I’ll knit hers first, and then we can talk about yours,” she said, a mischievous glint in her eye.
But a mere scarf wouldn’t suffice. She convinced Balfour to also pick out a stunning ald brooch for her
