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.

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

He left the country?

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

Quinton went upstairs to gather Balfour’s luggage.
