Buying My Forever Wife novel Chapter 343

Watching his little wife lay on the charm so thick, Alaric couldn't even be bothered to hold onto his irritation.

After they finished eating, he prepared to head back to the office, but first, he walked over to Ivy and demanded a kiss.

"Hurry up. I have a meeting this afternoon."

Ivy stared at him, bewildered as he leaned his handsome face toward her.

"What are you doing?"

"What do you think?"

He raised an eyebrow at her. "Do I have to do all the work?"

Puffing out her cheeks, Ivy obediently leaned in and pressed a kiss to his sculpted cheek.

"Happy now?"

Who exactly had this older man been learning from? Wasn't he supposed to be the cold, distant billionaire who looked down on her and barely acknowledged her existence?

Now he was literally tilting his face, demanding she kiss him.

It was true what they said: a man's words were completely unreliable.

"Remember, from now on, you take the initiative to kiss me before we part ways. Understood?"

Alaric said as he straightened up.

Ivy sat cross-legged on the sofa, looking up at him. "Even when other people are around?"

"Depends on the occasion."

Before leaving, Alaric leaned down, cupped her face, and captured her lips. He kissed her deeply, only pulling away when he felt completely satisfied.

"Wait for me at home. I'll pick up Stella after work."

Ivy, her lips swollen from his thorough kiss, lifted her foot and gave him a playful kick.

"Just go already!"

Alaric finally turned and walked out. Dressed in his impeccably tailored suit, he looked like the very picture of high society elegance and grace.

No one would ever guess the things he did in bed.

Ivy was convinced the man had a split personality.

Once she was sure he had left the estate, she grabbed her phone and dialed Hazel's number.

Her sister had mentioned last night that she was going to meet a director.

Ivy was genuinely terrified that she was being scammed.

It rang for a long time before Hazel finally answered.

Ivy thought about her bedroom, which was currently overflowing with unopened gifts from Ethan and Alaric.

She hadn't even unwrapped them yet.

Not to mention the direct transfers they had sent her.

She had millions of dollars sitting in her bank account.

Technically, she was a wealthy woman now.

Supporting her two sisters and her younger brother wouldn't be a problem at all.

Hazel refused again. "I'm not missing anything either, so don't buy me anything. We'll talk when we see each other. I'm going to hang up now."

Ivy hummed in agreement.

For some reason, her sister sounded incredibly happy.

So, had she actually met with that director or not?

She hadn't even managed to ask who the director was.

She just prayed that whatever her sister was doing, she would stay safe.

Ivy then dialed her younger brother back in their hometown.
