The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 2507

Chapter 2507 

Ivy, being one of the hosts, had returned early to the Howard Mansion with Balfour, slipping into an elegant gown that suited the occasion perfectly. 

The dress hugged her curves just right, accentuating her graceful figure without revealing too much, lending her an air of nobility and sophistication. 

Balfour was visibly pleased when he saw Ivy wearing the gown he had chosen for her. 

“My dear lady, might I have the honor of asking you for a dance?” he inquired with a charming smile. 

Ivy blushed, extending her hand and lifting her face with a swan-like elegance. 

“Of course,” she replied. 

They danced around the room several times, and it was only when Balfour held Ivy close that he felt a sense of grounding, reluctant to let her go. 

Eventually, a servant’s knock on the door prompted Balfour to release Ivy. 

“Feeling nervous?” Balfour asked her, his eyes searching hers before they descended the staircase. 

Strangely enough, Ivy, who had previously felt her nerves chill her to the bone, found that Balfour’s interruption had calmed her. What did it matter if there were many people downstairs? She had faced crowds before while acting, sometimes forced to perform scenes far from “normal” in front of others. If she could handle that with composure, surely she could handle this. 

“With you by my side, I’m not afraid at all,” she admitted. 

Balfour smiled and brought her hand to his lips for a gentle kiss. 

“Remember, I will always be by your side, no matter what.”

As they appeared hand in hand at the top of the staircase, guests below-each holding a flute of champagne-looked up to see the evening’s hosts.
