The Kiss that Sparked it All (Ellinor and Theo)
Chapter 2516

Chapter 2516

"Why do you have to meddle so much? You're well aware that sometimes, too much interferencecan make things worse.”

“That's easy for you to say, but you know how I am. How can I just sit back and watch when there'ssomeone with ulterior motives lurking around my grandson and his wife? I have to warn her. Thiswoman has far more going on upstairs than she lets on. I've warned her before she even slippedsome sleeping pills into Balfour's milk! If we hadn't caught on in time, who knows what she might'vedone!”

This revelation took Magnolia by surprise. “No wonder you're so blunt. We can't have someone witha hidden agenda hanging around them. But from what I see, Balfour and Ivy seem to be head overheels for each other. I doubt any outsider could wedge their way between them. You should relax onthat front.”

The mention of the young couple brought a satisfied smile to Alyssa’s face. “Their relationship hasflourished recently. When Balfour first brought Ivy home, they were both so stiff, thinking we oldfolks couldn't tell! But love is blind, and we see all too clearly. I'm quite taken with Ivy, but if Balfourwasn't into her, there would be no helping it. Now, they're both smitten, and I'm just waiting forsome good news. A new addition would be the icing on the cake. But Ivy's an actress, and both ofthem are still young and ambitious. They'll want to build their careers a bit more, and that's all up tothem.”

Magnolia watched Alyssa’s spirits lift and felt her own worries ease

“That's the spirit. Their love is growing stronger by the day. You should ease up on the worrying fortheir sake, and for mine — I'm planning on many more years of our chats.”

Alyssa’s eyes crinkled with laughter. “Of course.”

Ivy was certain she wasn't drunk.

Just a bit blurry-eyed, she wondered why Balfour, who stood firmly before her, suddenly seemed tohave doubled.

And he kept teasing her with that glass of red wine.

“Ha, want another drink?”

Ivy's eyes glistened as she fixated on the glass

Balfour didn't realize that Ivy was such a lightweight, her eyes practically glued to the wine. She hadbarely sipped it before and was already clamoring for more.

"Aren“t you the one who said I couldnt have any? Yet here's a whole glass.”

Ivy's voice grew more plaintive, feeling wronged by Balfour's stinginess, her emotions welling upuntil her eyes reddened.

Worried she might burst into tears, Balfour quickly offered her the glass.

"Here, take it!"

Ivy snatched the wine glass from Balfour's hand and downed it in one gulp, leaving himapprehensive.

"Alright, take it easy. There's plenty more at home if you like it, but no more for tonight. Too muchwill make you feel sick.”

Ivy had indeed had too much wine, swaying slightly. Balfour, concerned she'd feel worse, swiftlyescorted her back to their room.

Alyssa noticed their departure and went to check on Ivy.

“Balfour really should know better. Ivy cant hold her liquor, and there was no need to let her drinkat the family dinner at home.”
