The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 2180

Afterwards, Balfour made his way upstairs to the study.

With Ivy in the company of Dean and Alyssa, he felt at ease.

"Ah, Ivy, you're finally back. If Balfour hadn't texted me to say you were with him, your grandfather and I would have been worried sick!"

Ever since Ivy had a scare near the bookstore last time, the elderly couple had been extremely concerned about her.

Not only did they insist on chauffeured rides for her commutes, but they also demanded that Balfour keep them informed. If he was available, they wanted him to pick up Ivy.

Ivy had been touched more than once by their care.

But in most families, it was rare for grandparents to go to such lengths for their granddaughter-in-law.

"Grandma, Grandpa, don't worry. I'm back safe and sound, standing right here in front of you, aren't I?"

Alyssa chuckled and pulled Ivy to sit beside them.

"We're just being cautious. After all, it's better to be safe than sorry. We can't let what happened last time happen again."

Dean nodded solemnly, "Your grandma's right. We were lucky last time, but who knows about the next..."

"Knock on wood, you old man, don't talk such nonsense!"

Alyssa smacked Dean a few times.

Ivy gave a light smile, "Don't worry, Grandma and Grandpa. The issue has been resolved smoothly. Otherwise, how could I come back so light-hearted to see you?"

Alyssa patted her hand, "That's good to hear! If anything comes up, just call Balfour. Don't try to be a hero on your own! Ivy, Balfour is your husband, and you can rely on him openly!"

Ivy felt a bit embarrassed.

Alyssa didn't know that they were still in a contractual relationship; it wasn't right to bother Balfour with every little thing.

Alyssa held her hand with a loving expression.

"Ivy, I'll say it again, just do what you want to do, and leave the rest to Balfour. Go for it. If you want to be a good actress, then just act. Prove yourself with your performances. The Howard family has enough resources to get you the scripts you desire."
