Chapter 2516
“Why do you have to meddle so much? You’re well aware that sometimes, too much
interference can make things worse.”
“That’s easy for you to say, but you know how I am. How can I just sit back and watch
when there’s someone with ulterior motives lurking around my grandson and his wife? I
have to warn her. This woman has far more going on upstairs than she lets on. I’ve warned
her before she even slipped some sleeping pills into Balfour’s milk! If we hadn’t caught on
in time, who knows what she might’ve done!”
This revelation took Magnolia by surprise. “No wonder you’re so blunt. We can’t have
someone with a hidden agenda hanging around them. But from what I see, Balfour and Ivy
seem to be head over heels for each other. I doubt any outsider could wedge their way
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtbetween them. You should relax on that front.”
The mention of the young couple brought a satisfied smile to Alyssa’s face. “Their
relationship has flourished recently. When Balfour first brought Ivy home, they were both
so stiff, thinking we old folks couldn’t tell! But love is blind, and we see all too clearly. I’m
quíte taken with Ivy, but if Balfour wasn’t into her, there would be no helping it. Now,
they’re both smitten, and I’m just waiting for some good news. A new addition would be
the icing on the cake. But Ivy’s an actress, and both of them are still young and ambitious.
They’ll want to build their careers a bit more, and that’s all up to them.”
Magnolia watched Alyssa’s spirits lift and felt her own worries ease.
“That’s the spirit. Their love is growing stronger by the day. You should ease up on the
worrying for their sake, and for mine – I’m planning on many more years of our chats.”

Alyssa’s eyes crinkled with laughter. “Of course.”
Ivy was certain she wasn’t drunk.
Just a bit blurry-eyed, she wondered why Balfour, who stood firmly before her, suddenly
seemed to have doubled.
And he kept teasing her with that glass of red wine.
“Ha, want another drink?”
Ivy’s eyes glistened as she fixated on the glass
Balfour didn’t realize that Ivy was such a lightweight, her eyes practically glued to the
wine. She had barely sipped it before and was already clamoring for more.
“Aren’t you the one who said I couldn’t have any? Yet here’s a whole glass.”
Ivy’s voice grew more plaintive, feeling wronged by Balfour’s stinginess, her emotions
welling up until her eyes reddened.

Worried she might burst into tears, Balfour quickly offered her the glass.
“Here, take it!”
Ivy snatched the wine glass from Balfour’s hand and downed it in one gulp, leaving him
apprehensive.
“Alright, take it easy. There’s plenty more at home if you like it, but no more for tonight.
Too much will make you feel sick.”
Ivy had indeed had too much wine, swaying slightly. Balfour, concerned she’d feel worse,
swiftly escorted her back to their room.
Alyssa noticed their departure and went to check on Ivy.
“Balfour really should know better. Ivy can’t hold her liquor, and there was no need to let
her drink at the family dinner at home.”
