The Kiss that Sparked it All

Chapter 2506

“Do you really think Alyssa won’t see right through that store-bought gift? She’ll just think I didn’t put my heart into it.”

Deep down, Ivy was more than willing to craft something with her own hands to give to Alyssa, but such a gift might seem a bit too “modest” for someone of Alyssa’s standing.

To those high society folks, sincerity is ironically the cheapest commodity. Ivy knew she had to present something of tangible value to Alyssa to properly show her respect.

Balfour leaned in and nuzzled Ivy’s cheek, which was as soft as a baby’s skin.

He couldn’t resist doing it every time, and though Ivy playfully swatted at his face when she got fed up, her touch was so gentle it barely counted. Regardless, Balfour continued to do as he pleased, leaving Ivy to her solitary fretting.
