Chapter 2450

Hearing Mara’s pitiful tone and thinking of her late sister, Balfour hesitated before speaking up, “You

know, you could also have your friends stay over at the house. There’s plenty of room, and Grandma

actually enjoys a bit of hustle and bustle. Just try not to butt heads with Ivy, and Grandma won’t give

you a hard time.”

Mara looked tempted, but she still had reservations. “I’m sure I won’t make Ivy mad, but wouldn’t that

be imposing? You know how Alyssa has never been too fond of me, and now I’d be bringing my friends

over to stay at the house? No, no, Alyssa surely wouldn’t like that.”

Balfour simply suggested she take her time to consider it and discuss with her friend

when she arrived. If she really didn’t want to move back, it was no big deal; he had plenty of

properties. He could easily offer her a place to stay with her friend.

For him and Ivy, given Ivy’s preference for a quieter environment, he decided to find another property

and move in with her there. While Ivy had gotten used to staying with the cast and crew, and he could

stay with her there, he always felt that it wasn’t really his turf, and he wasn’t entirely comfortable having

Ivy stay there.

Keeping these thoughts to himself, he simply began searching for a suitable property to move into once

Ivy was discharged.

Tessa, on the other hand, never did see Finn come for her. She hadn’t imagined that the husband she

had loved for so many years would actually refuse to pick her up becau of a bruised ego.

“Mrs. Dunhill, your bail has been posted. However, the boss had a few words for me to pass along to

you. You’re not getting any younger, and he hopes you’ll think twice before acting out again. Don’t get

yourself into such foolish situations. It’s thankless and only drags the whole family down,” the lawyer

conveyed with a detachment that bordered on callousness.

Tessa looked up blankly at the lawyer and let out a bitter laugh. “That’s the message Finn sent you

with? He didn’t have anything else to say?”

The lawyer pondered for a moment before shaking his head. “I’m sorry. Do you need a ride home?”

“No, I could use the walk to clear my head,” Tessa replied.

As she aimlessly wandered the streets, she realized the irrationality of her actions over the years –

forsaking her own daughter for someone else’s child, all for Finn and the life they had built together.

Now, that very family seemed to have discarded her without a second thought. What was the point of

all her sacrifices?

Tessa wished she could turn back time. She would rather have never met the man who

once professed to love her deeply but now found her an embarrassment.

Yet Tessa couldn’t help but wonder if things would be different if she had given birth to a son instead.

Her acquaintances had assured her she was carrying a boy, so why did it turn out to be Ivy? Tessa felt

a surge of resentment; if not for Ivy, she wouldn’t be so utterly alone now.

Ivy never considered that all of her mother’s misfortunes were being pinned on her. The irony was not

lost on her that her mother genuinely believed her current miseries were because she wasn’t a son.

If Ivy had been a boy, Finn’s attitude towards her would have been different. In the past, she had been

tormented by her mother-in-law simply for failing to produce a son. Now, after finally finding her own

footing, she had lost her husband’s love.
