But now, what she prepared was her solo rendition of the song. She understood that her
fans were here to see more of her.
âLove sincerely, and it's never a miss,
Those years by the fishing village with you,
Fame and fortune, leaving the past amiss,â
The movie wasn't out yet, but the melancholy in Ivy's lyrics had everyone wrapped in a shroud of
emotion.
"Oh man, I feel that âBallad of Valorâ is going to be a tearjerker!â
âDo you even need to question that?
Didn't you catch the heartache in Ivy's performance? Total cry-fest. Can't believe our girl's debut is a
tragedy. My heart aches for her. She's been through so much, and still, sheâs wrestling with her
demons. Colton, you cold-hearted beast!â
âActually, I'm kinda grateful that the male leadâs been by her side. At the end of the day, having
someone to love and support you is way better than going it alone.â
That's how the âmom fansâ felt â unwavering supporters of Ivy no matter what, just like moms. What
mattered most was how quickly they'd warmed up to the idea of Balfour, even knowing he'd be
lurking in some corner watching Ivy. They'd accepted him with open arms because their âqueen
beeâ needed someone to watch over her constantly. And for Balfour, the big shot CEO of the
Howard Group, to care for her like this was something special.
"Pfft, if he doesn't treat our girl right, he doesn't deserve her! Even if it is the Howard Group. Our
Ivy's a catch â gorgeous and talented. With her line of suitors, what's a CEO got on her?â
At that moment, one of the mom fans nudged her neighbor, gesturing towards the man sitting in
the row ahead.
Wasn't that Balfour?
They exchanged a quick, knowing look. There he was, not only holding a glowing stick in support of
Ivy but even donning a headband with her image on it.
He seemed to dote on Ivy, which set their minds at ease. They didn't mind Ivy dating; what they
feared was a man who wouldn't treat her right or who'd distract her from her career. But it was clear
Ivy wasn't about to drop the ball on either front.
Balfour sat there, taking in the fansâ candid chatter about him.
Truth be told, he found their words to be spot-on. Ivy hadn't even released her film and

already had this horde of admirers. Suitors would line up from here to eternity.
And with the movie's premiere around the corner, the number of people falling for Ivy was only
going to skyrocket.
Jeez, how does one handle having such a bewitching wife?
If he didn't buckle down and support her career, he might just find himself outpaced by the
competition.
Balfour swayed with the sea of fans with the glowing stick in his hand. He'd never heard Ivy sing
before her voice was unexpectedly soothing.
He figured Ivy could achieve success in any field she chose. If she fancied it, he'd pull some strings
and arrange a record deal for her. Lost in thought, he raised the glowing stick high above his head.
