She paused mid-step and turned around.
Downstairs, Giselle spotted Balfour returning and quickly trotted over to him. “You’re finally back. I’ve
been waiting for you for ages!”
The man’s gaze darkened slightly at the sight of Giselle, clearly surprised. “What are you doing here?”
Balfour had no idea about Giselle coming over for dinner.
“Alyssa invited me for dinner. I thought she would’ve told you!” Giselle’s peripheral vision caught Ivy
standing at the top of the stairs, and she immediately reached out to help Balfour with his coat. “Come
on! Take off your coat. It’s warm inside. Let me hang it up for you.”
She was playing the part of the Howard family’s lady of the house, waiting for her working husband to
come home to help him out of his coat.
“No need.”
Balfour turned his body, subtly avoiding her touch.
Watching from the staircase, Ivy saw this exchange and could not quite name the taste in her mouth.
She quietly returned to her
room.
She decided to let the two of them show their affection downstairs if they wanted, not fearing Alyssa
discovering their marriage plans. After all, it would not be her responsibility if things were revealed!
Having changed his shoes with the help of a servant, Balfour glanced at Giselle. “How long have you
been here?”
“I’ve been here quite a while!” Giselle pressed her lips, showing a shy expression, “Balfour, Grandma
Alyssa is so good to me. She even cooked dinner herself. I wanted to help, but she wouldn’t have it!”
“If Grandma invited you, then make yourself at home. I’m going upstairs to change,” Balfour said
distractedly before ascending the stairs.
He had seen Ivy going up.
Although Giselle had not managed to take his coat off, their interaction had been somewhat intimate,
and that might have given Ivy the wrong idea.
Balfour reached his room and pushed the door open.
Just as he entered, he saw Ivy emerging from the bathroom wrapped only in a towel, her shoulders and
back pale and glowing.
Caught off guard by his sudden appearance, Ivy instinctively pulled the towel tighter, covering her
chest. “You… Why did you come in?”
Balfour snapped back to reality, his tone mocking. “This is my room. Is it strange that I enter?”
Ivy opened her mouth to argue but realized he was not entirely wrong.
Indeed, this was Balfour’s room, and he had every right to enter.
Seeing Giselle and Balfour so close together earlier, she had thought they would spend some time
chatting downstairs and had not expected him to come up so soon. She had not even dressed after her
bath!
Who would have thought Balfour would come up so quickly, leading to this awkward situation?
Ivy pouted, not wanting to face Balfour in such a state. She quickly grabbed some clothes from the bed
and retreated into the bathroom to change.
Dressed and with a towel in hand to dry her hair, Ivy walked out, “Giselle’s still downstairs. Why did you
come up so fast? Don’t you want to keep her company?”
“What? You want me to spend time with Giselle that badly?” Balfour squinted, watching her dry her
hair.
Ivy sat down at the vanity, busying herself with a brush through her hair, not wanting to look at his icy
face.
Seeing them together earlier had actually made her feel quite uncomfortable as if she had been
cheated on!
“No, I just saw you two chatting away and figured you must have a lot to talk about. Surely you’d want
to talk more.” Ivy forced a laugh, saying, “So, I thought I’d be considerate and stay in my room, not
wanting to intrude or be a third wheel!”
Hearing her say that, Balfour’s expression turned darker.
