Ivy’s gaze lifted once again, colliding with Balfour’s across the room.
“Balfour,” she began, a hint of confusion lacing her voice. “The things you said to me earlier, did you
mean them because you have a little crush on me, or do you see me as someone easy to handle, fit to
be your wife? Just someone waiting at home, ready to attend to your every need?”
He just chuckled, the sound disarming in its simplicity.
“You’re overthinking it, Ivy. I don’t have any peculiar tastes, nor am I a chauvinist. I just want you to take
it easy. The showbiz world is a mixed bag-you know that. Since you joined the cast, how many times
have you been targeted? If you don’t care about getting hurt, well, someone else does.”
His words resonated within her, stirring something deep.
Was he implying he was that someone?
Sigh. He did have a point. Ever since she decided to act, incidents like these had become all too
familiar.
In the acting world, such drama was the norm and showed no signs of stopping.
She never felt she’d done anything wrong, nor stolen anyone’s spotlight. However, if everyone else
thought so, she would have a misconception that perhaps she should reflect on her actions.
Now, she understood. It wasn’t her. There were just too many in the industry dreaming of overnight
fame through underhanded tactics.
It wasn’t her fault that her mere presence made others see red.
Balfour’s protective stance made sense. He didn’t want someone he cared about to suffer such
unwarranted woes.
Seizing the moment, he said, “I know my request is sudden, and you can take your time to think it over.
I’m going to head to the restroom, give you a minute.”
Ivy smiled, nodding in agreement. “Okay.”
Truth be told, with Balfour sitting opposite her, focused thinking was nearly impossible.
Her cheeks flushed with sweetness as she contemplated Balfour’s attitude toward her today.
Just yesterday, she was in agony over his date with Giselle. But today was a complete turnaround-
Balfour had approached Giselle for her sake.
She felt a twinge of guilt for having misjudged Balfour so hastily and was ecstatic about

his declaration of affection.
“It seems he really does care for me,” Ivy mused. If he truly didn’t want her to continue acting, she’d
consider a career change for him,
She believed she could find another way to make a living-after all, if she could discover her talent for
acting, she was sure to light up other skills.
Once the decision was made, Ivy felt a weight lift off her shoulders, curious about Balfour’s reaction to
her choice.
She could hardly believe how quickly she’d come to a decision. It was Balfour’s confidence in her that
spurred her willingness to believe in a brighter future for them.
Taking a risk for Balfour seemed worth it now.
She thought she’d tell Balfour her decision when he returned, her hands fidgeting with excitement,
unable to contain her grin.
Leaving the limelight would also mean more time with the elders and Balfour-there was nothing wrong
with that.
Just yesterday, when Alyssa comforted her, she’d hoped to truly become a part of his family one day.
Now, it seemed that wish might just come true, and Ivy sincerely felt that all her past struggles were
paving the way for her present happiness.
