The Kiss that Sparked it All (Ellinor and Theo) novel Chapter 2304

Chapter 2304 

Balfour could sense Mara’s conviction was as strong as if someone had badmouthed her 

behind her back. 

“Don’t worry about staying here,” he reassured her. “If anyone dares to gossip about you, just tell me. You’re without a place to stay, and I’m not going to let anyone make things difficult for you.” 

Initially, Balfour hesitated to let Mara in. 

Now, he felt it was the right decision. To find her another place to stay seemed less of a priority. 

With her under his roof, he could look out for her a little more until she could return to her 

home country and put an end to this whole situation. 

Mara’s eyes reddened with distress, insisting she couldn’t stay any longer. 

“Balfour, I know I’ve been a bother, and I can’t impose on you anymore. Even if I have to stay on my own, I will. Really.” 

“No way, you’re not well, and it’s not safe for you to stay alone outside!” Balfour frowned, not expecting the situation to be this serious. 

Just then, Alyssa and Ivy walked in, laughing and chatting. They were surprised to see Balfour and Mara’s somber expressions. 

Mara instinctively hid behind Balfour. 

Alyssa was frustrated to see this. Mara claimed she had no romantic interest in Balfour, but Mara’s actions were a slap in her face. 

Ivy, too, was displeased, yet she had decided to win Balfour’s affection on her own terms, without self-pity. 

Balfour and Mara had known each other for years. But nothing happened. 

“Ms. Lewis, you look upset. Did something happen?” Ivy asked in concern. 

Mara clutched Balfour’s shirt and shook her head at him with her watery eyes, indicating she didn’t want to share the matter with them. 

Thinking that the only ones who could make decisions in this house were these few people, there must be some disagreement with Alyssa or Ivy. Balfour just explained, “It’s nothing. You guys stay at home, first. I’ll take her out for a while.” 

Alyssa disapproved. Ivy had just returned from the hospital, and where was he off to 

now? 

And with Mara, no less. Leaving Ivy alone at home would only upset her more.

“Are you going out for fun? If so, maybe Ivy could join. You’re all young and probably have lots to talk about. Balfour, Ivy just got out of the hospital; don’t leave her alone at home.” 

Alyssa’s words carried a warning. Balfour thought it made sense.
