The Kiss that Sparked it All (Ellinor and Theo) novel Chapter 2200

Balfour had not come home all night, and Ivy could hardly remember how she fell asleep.

The next morning, when she awoke, she was surprised to find Quinton downstairs.

Alyssa was leisurely enjoying her breakfast at the nearby dining table. Seeing Ivy descend the stairs, she greeted her with a beaming smile.

Quinton also respectfully greeted Ivy.

"Quinton, what brings you here at this hour?"

Ivy was puzzled. Normally, Quinton shadowed Balfour and would not just show up at their home.

With a slight nod, Quinton replied, "Mr. Balfour left for an international trip last night. I'm here to pack some of his things and catch the nine o'clock flight to meet up with him."

He left the country?

Ivy was taken aback, then nodded silently, holding her tongue.

As Ivy got ready for the day, Quinton went upstairs to gather Balfour's luggage.

Balfour had slipped away without a word to Ivy, which irked Alyssa, though she did not show her displeasure in front of Ivy.

The couple could not afford more misunderstandings. Their relationship was already fraught with tension.

How could Balfour leave the country at a time like this? It wasn’t so sensible.

The couple already struggled to communicate, and his departure would only deepen the rift between them!

Once seated, Alyssa tenderly ensured Ivy had breakfast.

Ivy remained quiet, but she knew Balfour's sudden trip must be related to the phone call from the day before.
