The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 2126

Chapter 2126 

Dean scoffed, “No matter how good something is, you just can’t have it every day. Besides, the meatloaf is too heavy. Ivy, don’t just listen to everything your grandma says. You know, a classic breakfast of milk and cereals is more like it. If you’re hankering for a Mediterranean breakfast, just tell the housekeeper to whip something up for you.” 

Ivy nodded vigorously, “Don’t worry, Grandpa. You and Grandma have been so kind to me already. I totally get it.” 

The old lady was preoccupied with her own concerns, barely registering her husband’s teasing remarks. 

Alyssa spoke up with a furrowed brow after Ivy polished off a plate of meat loaves, “What exactly happened yesterday? I tried asking Balfour, but he wouldn’t spill the beans. I know you’re all worried about us old-timers fretting over you. 

But keeping us in the dark only makes us worry more. We can’t enjoy our meals or get a good night’s sleep, just fretting over you two.” 

There was only care in the elderly woman’s voice, not a hint of blame. Ivy felt a wave of warmth wash over her. 

It was a kind of warmth she had never felt from her own parents. 

Setting down her fork, she looked at her grandmother, “Grandma, if Balfour didn’t tell you, it’s only because it was such a trivial matter. 

Everything was sorted out yesterday, and if we had told you last night, you would have just lost sleep worrying, right?” 

Alyssa sighed deeply, “Ah, we’re getting on in years and you all have your own minds now. You don’t want to bother us with your troubles.” 

Ivy quickly explained herself, “That’s not it at all, Grandma! You and Grandpa are still young at heart! If you went out among your peers, they wouldn’t believe you’re in your seventies. Sixties at most!” 

Dean patted Alyssa’s hand, “Now, now, speak your mind. Look how you’ve rattled Ivy; she can barely get her words out. Ivy, you just said we’re still strong. So, what could be so bad that you can’t tell us? 

Balfour’s being secretive, and now you too? If it’s all over, there’s even less reason not to tell us. Don’t follow in Balfour’s footsteps, dear.”
