The Kiss that Sparked it All

Chapter 2350

Ivy squeezed her eyes shut, the anguish palpable as she tried to shut out the thought of returning to that place.

“Look, since it doesn’t matter, why can’t I just stay in the dorm? I like it here. Please, Mr. Howard, let me decide where I stay. I’m a free person, after all.”

“I’ve told you before, Ivy. If you drop even one more pound, I’m coming to take you back home. Have you forgotten what the doctor said? You need to take care of yourself. Do you want to end up in the hospital again?”

The very mention of the hospital or going back to the Howard Mansion made Ivy’s heart sink. She quickly reassured him, “Alright, Mr. Howard, I promise I won’t lose any more weight.”
