The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 2084

Chapter 2084 

After quizzing her, he waited silently for Ivy’s response. 

Frantically waving her hands, Ivy explained a bit awkwardly, “What? Suggesting Balfour take her to the hospital is like handing over my husband to her? Aren’t you getting a little carried away? Giselle isn’t feeling well, and it might be better for her to have. someone familiar take her. That’s why I said I’d hitch a ride back with you.” 

“So, you’re completely disregarding your own feelings?” Nolan was nearly at the point of tearing through that thin veil of pretense. Ivy had been deliberately suppressing her own emotions. Despite being visibly upset, her expression on the verge of tears, she put on a grand display of magnanimity, almost as if she were willingly giving her husband away. 

Could a friend really go that far? 

Ivy managed a strained smile. “Nolan, you’re overthinking it. I’m fine, really! Once we wrap up today’s scenes, I can head off. I’ll be over the moon!” 

Nolan sighed, letting the matter drop, leaving Ivy to maintain her facade of cheerfulness in the solitude of the car. 

After a while, the smile on Ivy’s face froze, and she let out a sigh. “Even if I objected, what good would it do? Balfour and Giselle have been close friends for years. If she’s sick, he’s bound to choose her.” 

Finally, she dropped the act, revealing a face full of despondency and exhaustion. 

“How did you two get together in the first place?” The car suddenly stopped, and Nolan turned to face Ivy, who was hiding behind her hands, trying to escape. “You know, you two don’t act much like a married couple.” 

Ivy sat up straight, glancing back at him with a hint of guilt. “What? You’ve been watching too many soap operas. Maybe some things got lost in translation, but we’re truly husband and wife. I hope you won’t talk like that again; it puts me in a tough spot.” 

The two locked eyes in silence for a moment before Nolan finally caved. “Alright, I get it. Here we are. I’ll walk you in.” 

They had arrived at the studio. Ivy declined his offer. “Nolan, thanks for the ride, but the lot’s swarming with people, and we don’t want the press making up stories.”
