Ivy fidgeted with a nervous charm that Balfour found inexplicably endearing.
“I’m not joking about this, Ivy. I’m asking you seriously, would you consider giving us another shot?”
Balfour said, his voice carrying the weight of his sincerity.
Ivy’s face flushed a deep crimson, disbelief and hope mingling in her wide eyes.
Could this really be happening?
Was fate granting her this unexpected chance, making Balfour the one to break the ice?
Her heart raced at the thought that the man she harbored feelings for might just reciprocate those
emotions.
“Are… are you sure about this?” Ivy stammered, her insecurities surfacing. “I mean, in every way-
background, prospects-I’m not exactly the match one would expect for you.”
A frown etched itself deeper between Balfour’s brows.
“Why should you care about all that? If those were the things I cared about, I would have listened to my
family and settled down with one of those ‘suitable’ women they keep parading in front of me,” he
replied, his impatience with her reservations clear.
In his mind, if their hearts aligned, that’s all that mattered. Everything else would fall into place like
dominoes.
But Ivy wasn’t responding as he had anticipated. Instead of embracing the chance to change their
current relationship, she seemed even more anxious.
A small napkin in her hands was shredded to pieces, a testament to her inner turmoil.
What was there to worry about? They had lived under the same roof before, even when there were no
sparks between them.
“Ivy, talk to me. What’s worrying you? If you don’t share, we can’t move past this. I’m serious about us,
and I need you to consider this seriously too. Give us a new beginning,” Balfour urged.
Regardless of the past, he wanted her to give their potential future some genuine thought. As Ivy
hesitated, Balfour unexpectedly shifted gears. “And another thing-are you certain about continuing your
career as an actress? Consider the challenges that come with it.”
His question caught her off guard.
“What do you mean? If I don’t pursue acting, what else would I do?” Ivy replied, perplexed.
“I mean, you don’t have to repay any debt or continue acting just for the money. We can go back to
how we first started. You could just enjoy being Mrs. Howard at home, couldn’t you? I don’t want to see
you struggling in the complex world of show business” Raffour explained
A surge of warmth flowed through toy at his chiens digestion veas for her sake but abandoning her job
as an actress midway was definitely not something she would do
She understood his apprehension, that the pressures of the industry were weighing on her, thus his
subtle proposal for her to step away from the limelight
“Balfour, is this really what you are thinking? De you genuinely think that me quitting acting will solve
everything? My asked earnestly
“If you’re not in the industry, you won’t have to deal with the malice of others. You can live
simple, peaceful life, Balfour replied with a look of eamest affection
Finally, Ivy nodded, “I know you mean well. Just give me some time to think it over”
Acting had become a splendid dream for ly, allowing her to immerse herself in various roles, earning
admiration through her own merit. Since becoming an actress, the silent confessions and support from
fans who recognized her had been a massive source of encouragement. It was more than a career-it
had given her life purpose.
