Chapter 2199
“Let’s face it, it’s just a lovers’ spat. Don’t be too hard on Balfour,” Dean said.
Alyssa rolled her eyes. “You always jump to Balfour’s defense before I even get a word in. This whole mess, it’s all
your fault!”
“Sure, sure, blame me. It’s all on me for spoiling Balfour rotten.”
Alyssa arched an eyebrow. “Are you dredging up old grievances with me? I doted on Balfour when he was a child,
but I never indulged him regarding the important stuff.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDean vigorously. “Sure, sure, you’re absolutely correct. It’s all my doing. But still, we need to have a serious talk
with him when he gets back. How could he just distrust Ivy over some baseless rumors?”
With a heavy sigh, Alyssa expressed her frustration. “It’s because he doesn’t trust Ivy that

Even Dean knew that trust was the most critical issue at hand.

With that, Balfour took the woman by the wrist, turned, and walked away, leaving her with nothing but his shrinking
silhouette.
“Don’t… don’t go!”

“It was just a dream…”
Even though it was only a dream, the agony of being forever unchosen lingered around Ivy’s heart.
She grabbed a few tissues and wiped the sweat from her forehead.
