Buying My Forever Wife novel Chapter 156

What the hell was going on?

Patrick, acting as if he had been eagerly awaiting her arrival, walked straight toward Ivy, his eyes brimming with deep affection.

"Ivy, I regret it all."

"I never should have broken up with you."

"I scrounged up the two hundred and eighty thousand you wanted. Let's go back home and get married, okay?"

Ivy thought he was a total psycho.

Furious, she tried to sidestep him and make a run for the door.

Patrick lunged forward and grabbed her in a tight hug.

"Ivy, listen to me! Summer and I haven't even slept together yet, I swear I'm clean! She's a complete lunatic, and I don't even like her."

"I miss the days when we were together. I want to be with you forever. Let's start over, please?"

He begged her desperately.

Hoping to force Ivy into remembering the beautiful times they had shared.

Maybe, just maybe, Ivy still had feelings for him and would be willing to return to their hometown with him.

But in the very next second...

Ivy shoved him away with all her might and delivered a vicious slap across his face.

She glared at him with pure, unadulterated rage.

"How did you get my sister to play along with this? Patrick, don't you think you're absolutely pathetic? You were the one who cheated on me to be with that rich brat, and you were the one who dumped me. Don't come crawling back here pretending you care."

She truly hadn't seen this coming.

Her own sister had conspired with this bastard to trap her.

When she got her hands on Hazel, there would be hell to pay.

"Your sister just wanted what's best for you! She didn't want you married to some old man, playing stepmother to someone else's kid."

Patrick cupped his stinging cheek, refusing to back down.

"I admit I did you dirty back then, but your mom was constantly showing up at my house causing scenes. My parents forced my hand!"

"I've thought this through. After we're married, we won't live with my parents. They won't be able to control us."

She had a sinking feeling that if she stayed a second longer, something horrific was going to happen.

She had to get out, now.

Shoving Patrick aside, Ivy snatched up her bag and made a break for the door.

Refusing to let her go, Patrick grabbed her from behind, wrapping his arms around her again.

Before Ivy could fight him off, the hotel room door was violently kicked open from the outside.

A group of massive, intimidating men stormed into the room, instantly flashing cameras and recording them on their phones.

Terrified, Patrick released Ivy immediately.

Because he had just spotted Summer walking in behind them.

Summer marched in with terrifying aggression, signaling her men to restrain Ivy before stepping up and backhanding her across the face twice.

Then, she grabbed Ivy roughly by the chin, forcing her to look her in the eye.

"You bitch, actually daring to drag my boyfriend into a hotel room. Are you out of your mind?"
