Chapter 1923
From that day on, Ivy took it upon herself to deliver hearty meals to the elderly couple every day, hoping to make
up for her previous oversight in the kitchen.
The grandparents’ health improved significantly, and after a thorough check-up, the doctor informed that they
were ready to be discharged.
Balfour put his business affairs on hold to pick up his grandparents in person from the hospital.
“Grandma, be careful,” Ivy said gently, as she assisted Alyssa into the back seat of the car, and then helped Dean
settle in beside his wife.
Today, there was no chauffeur, so Balfour took the wheel, and Ivy took the passenger seat, as the elderly couple
chatted softly in the back.

contentment as she looked at her grandson and granddaughter-in-law in the front, appearing to be a perfect
match.
She had worried about Balfour’s matrimonial prospects for a long time, but now it seemed everything had turned
out for the best. Truth be told, it had been mostly Ivy by herself at home; Balfour hadn’t come back much.
Ivy glanced at Balfour, noting his lack of response, and promptly took on the role of the dutiful wife, smiling back at
Alyssa, “Grandma, we’re doing just fine! Don’t worry!”
Alyssa’s smile grew warmer at lvy’s sensible reply. “Ivy, I’m glad to hear that you’re taking such good care of
Balfour. Now that your union is settled, maybe it’s time to start thinking about having a baby? Your grandfather and
I are eager to meet our great-grandchildren.”
Ivy’s face froze, and she sent a pleading look towards Balfour.
Please, she had no idea how to respond to this!
“Grandma, there’s plenty of time for having kids,” Balfour said, his expression unchanging as if the topic were as
mundane as the weather.
Alyssa frowned at his response. “You’re already thirty, when do you plan on having them if not now? Ivy, don’t listen
to his nonsense. When it’s time to prepare for a baby, it’s time.”
“Grandma, I understand, we… will do our best!” Ivy chuckled nervously, her cheeks blushing as she lowered her
head.
Despite knowing that nothing would happen between her and Balfour, she couldn’t help feeling embarrassed about
the topic.
Ivy’s reply seemed to satisfy Alyssa, who turned to her husband Dean and said, “See, I told you finding someone to
take care of this boy was the right move. With Ivy here, we’ll have less to worry about!”

Dean nodded in agreement with his wife.
Balfour drove smoothly and soon they arrived back at the Howard Mansion.
Ivy dutifully helped Alyssa and Dean to their rooms, where the staff had prepared water and snacks. She made sure
they were comfortably seated with their pillows adjusted before saying, “Grandpa, Grandma, please take a rest. I’ll
leave you now, but call if you need anything!”
“Alright, Ivy, you must be tired too. Go get some rest,” Alyssa replied with a smile.
After ensuring the grandparents were settled, Ivy headed to her own room. But as she reached the door, she
realized she couldn’t stay there anymore.
With the grandparents away, she had moved to a nearby guest room for convenience, but now that they had
returned, staying in the guest room would give the game away!
She had no choice but to move back into Balfour’s room.
Sighing, Ivy collected her belongings and returned to the master bedroom. She pulled out a comfortable set of
pajamas and began to change.
Just as she lifted her shirt, revealing a hint of her smooth skin, the bedroom door suddenly swung open.
Turning around, she and Balfour, standing in the doorway, both froze in shock!
