Chapter 2205

Balfour had gone to M State, probably to see that girl…

After all these years, he still cared deeply for her.

Watching Ivy, who had to ask him whether his husband’s trip abroad was for business or

personal reasons, Nolan could not help but heave a deep sigh.

“Balfour’s trip this time is likely to meet an old friend.”

“Mara, right? Nolan, you know Mara and that he’s gone because of her, am I correct?”

Ivy’s voice was soft, barely a whisper, as if a stronger breeze might carry her away.

“So, you know about Mara too! Yes, I’m guessing that’s why Balfour went overseas, but

don’t worry. They’re just friends. If anything were meant to happen between them, it

would have happened years ago.”

Nolan’s attempt at consolation did little to soften the blow of this revelation.

lyy was truly disheartened.

In this world, there really was a girl who, with just one phone call, could send Balfour

across oceans and mountains for her.

During their last fierce argument, Balfour had left without a backward glance.

Seeing Ivy like this, Nolan was torn, regretting that he had told her…

“Nolan, what kind of girl is this Mara?”

Ivy asked, her curiosity piqued.

The brief phone call she had with Mara had revealed a woman both gentle and sly.

At this moment, she wanted to know what kind of woman Balfour cherished so deeply.

The truth was, the details of Balfour and Mara’s relationship were unclear to those on the

outside; they only knew that Mara was very important to Balfour.

Nolan said, “I haven’t met Mara many times; just know that Balfour has known her for

years; they’re close friends.”

Ivy nodded, understanding.

“Let’s not dwell on this anymore. Thanks for the milkshake, Nolan.”

After the emotional roller coaster of her scenes, Ivy was drained. The calories from the

milkshake were the least of her worries now.

“If you like it, I can bring

you another one sometime.”

Despite her hesitation, Ivy declined Nolan’s offer.

“It’s too much, really. How much do I owe you for the milkshake?”

Ivy asked tentatively, noticing the change in Nolan’s expression.

“Ivy, are you trying to keep things clear with me? It’s just a round of drinks and snacks for

the crew. I can handle the cost.”

Ivy waved. “No, Nolan, I did not mean it like that. I just feel bad for you spending again

and again. Besides, if we keep things clear between us, there won’t be any

misunderstandings, right?”

Ever since she had been burned before, Ivy was careful to maintain a distance from any

man who got close.

She was wary of being talked about or seeming presumptuous, but she would rather face

the gossip than Balfour’s misunderstanding. She had resolved to stop longing for him.

Nonetheless, she hoped he would not misread her intentions.

She did not leave Balfour for someone else-that had never been the case.

The power had never been in Ivy’s hands in their relationship.

Hearing her out, Nolan finally nodded in agreement.
