Chapter 2492

“Let's call it a day, Ivy. Your fan meet is just around the corner, and you've got the moves down. Noneed for any last-minute cramming,” Ms. Madison advised with a reassuring

smile.

"Got it. I'll be sure to remember everything. And I've saved a ticket for you. Make sure you come,okay?” Ivy replied, her voice bubbling with excitement.

Ms. Madison couldn't help but feel a thrill of anticipation as Ivy smiled and waved her goodbye;Ivy's fan meet was the hottest ticket in town, and to think she had reserved one especially for her —it was a sweet gesture that didn’t go unnoticed.

As Ivy and Balfour made their way out, Ivy hadn't even reached the door before Balfour, ever sothoughtful, had her jacket ready for her.

“Put this on now. You're all sweaty, and if you catch a cold draft outside, you might catch a chill,” hesaid with concern.

Ivy slipped into the jacket and leaned in close to Balfour, whispering, “Did I do okay in there?”

For some reason, Balfour's cheeks flushed a deep shade of crimson when Ivy drew near.

"Yeah, good,” he managed to say.

“No way," Ivy exclaimed, her eyes widening in astonishment. “How can you be blushing?”

She had never seen such an expression on Balfour's face before!

“Are you getting shy on me?” Ivy teased, feeling her own cheeks warm up

in response

Despite always receiving praise from her dance coach, Ivy couldn't shake off her nerv She had neverperformed in front of an audience before, and the thought of her very fi show being in front of heradoring fans was daunting. She wanted to surprise and deli them, but Balfour's unexpected reactionhad thrown her for a loop.

Yet, Balfour seemed reluctant to admit it.

It wasn't until they reached the front door of their home and Balfour opened the car door for herthat she faintly heard him say, “Not bad.”

But it was more than just “not bad” to Balfour. In that moment, a fierce desire to keep her all tohimself had surged within him. He just didn't want her to dance in front of the crowd. All because ofIvy's glowing look on stage.

He had imagined what Ivy would look like dancing, but the reality far exceeded his expectations.Watching her move, he wanted nothing more than to claim her as his own.

“Ring-ring...”

Chapter 2492

Balfour and Ivy now lived in a different building, a quiet place where only the two of them, alongwith an occasional housekeeper, resided.

Ivy cherished the solitude she shared with Balfour, their private little world. But the sound of thedoorbell was an unexpected interruption. Who could it be at their door?

Freshly showered, Ivy wrapped a towel around her damp hair and went to answer the door. But theface that appeared on the video screen caught her off guard. “Mara? What is she doing here?”

Ivy couldn“t help but wonder if Mara had a hand in some of the events that had transpired. WhenBalfour had last spoken to her about Mara, he had made his intentions clear. Mara had understoodthat she and Balfour could never be a couple and had willingly taken on

the role of a sister.

. Although Ivy wasn't entirely trusting of Mara, she didn’t want to assume too much. All sheneeded was Balfour's unwavering commitment.

Ivy opened the door, trying not to show too much enthusiasm. “Mara, what brings you

here?”
