Chapter 2156
Balfour’s irritation was mounting, and to add insult to injury, Ivy didn’t even argue when he spoke this. She seemed to actually believe he’d gone out and cheated on her!
“Wow, is that what you think of me? Ivy, you sure have a knack for judgment.”
He’d been gathering evidence for her, and now this woman had the nerve to think he was fooling around.
Anyone would be upset being falsely accused like that..
“If that’s what you want to believe, I’ve got nothing left to say!”
Ivy couldn’t understand why Balfour could act so innocent.
He had obviously gone out with Giselle and even visited her place, and now he had the audacity to chat as if nothing had happened.
Why couldn’t she be as carefree as Balfour?
Seeing that she wasn’t in the mood for a proper conversation, Balfour was even more furious.
He ripped off his tie in frustration, throwing it onto the floor and stormed off to the study.
“I’m sleeping in the study tonight! You can have the bed to yourself!”
He was too angry to face Ivy right now.
Confronting her would only unleash more of his fury, and he didn’t want to say something he’d regret.
It wasn’t that he feared arguing with Ivy after all, he hadn’t done anything wrong. Ivy couldn’t just slap a label on him like that.
But what he truly feared was Ivy’s attitude – her unwillingness to listen or speak, her lack of desire to know the truth.
To her, Balfour was like a stranger now. His words were irrelevant to her life.
After he left, Ivy curled up dejectedly, hugging her knees close and cocooning herself into a position that offered a semblance of security.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became.
