Chapter 2089

Grandma. There’s no need to rush into a wedding.”

Alyssa could only feel sympathy for Ivy, bending over backwards to keep the peace.

What girl doesn’t dream of her own wedding? With their family’s means, why not have the ceremony?

“Balfour, put down that phone of yours. You’re home for once and you spend more than half the time buried in that

thing. What’s so fascinating about it anyway?”

Ivy quickly came to Balfour’s defense as Alyssa’s annoyance became apparent. “Grandma, he’s probably just

caught up with work stuff. He’s got a lot of responsibilities, and not replying to messages could be taken the wrong

way.”

“Once you’re off the clock, you’re off the clock. Don’t bring work home and it’s been a rule in this house for ages,

Alyssa reprimanded with a frown. “After dinner, you either take Ivy for a stroll, or head upstairs to relax, no more

phones!”

When Alyssa laid down the law, Balfour knew better than to cross her. He put away his phone and took Ivy upstairs.

As they left, Balfour made sure to keep a gentle grip on Ivy’s hand.

Watching the young couple retreat, Dean sighed, “Maybe there really is something urgent at work?”

“Hmph…Do I not know my own grandson? If it can be solved at the office, it never comes home,” Alyssa stated with

conviction. Mid-conversation, Alyssa noticed Balfour’s phone had been left behind on the couch. Just then, a

message came through, lighting up the screen.

[Balfour, can you come over? I’m really scared.]

[Balfour, for some reason my power went out…]

[It’s so dark at home, and my phone battery is low. I’m really scared being alone.]

[When will the power come back on? Can you come keep me company?]

[I feel like the dark night is swallowing me up. Can you come be with me, please?]
