“Let’s go, and it’s time to head in Balfour said, checking his watch and standing up. 

They both checked their tickets and found their seats in the packed theater. 

Alyssa had intentionally picked an ordinary screening to let them experience a typical date night, and the place was buzzing with people. 

Balfour stood out in his sleek black suit among the crowd dressed in Jeans and T–shirts. 

Catching his slightly awkward expression, Ivy couldn’t help but smile, leaning in and teasing, “Regretting not changing before we came out? People don’t usually wear suits to a movie”

After hanging up. Balfour looked troubled, casting a meaningful glance at Ivy. 

She quickly got the hint, smiling and whispering, “It’s okay, go if you need to. I can watch the movie by myself. If grandma asks later, I’ll cover for you.” The call was from Giselle, saying she had gotten hurt on set and wanted him to come by.
