Buying My Forever Wife novel Chapter 344

Her brother seemed incredibly lonely and talked to her for a long time.

But as they spoke, he started to cry.

Ivy's heart ached for him, and she finally suggested,

"Why don't you transfer schools and move to Capital City? I can get everything set up for you in advance."

She had money now. She could afford to support him attending a good school in the city.

She just couldn't bring him to live at The Starlight Estate; she would have to rent an apartment for him outside.

Toby knew how hard his sister worked for her money, and besides, she was already married.

If she kept funneling money to him, her husband might resent her and view her as a financial drain.

Not wanting to put his sister in a difficult position, Toby refused.

"It's okay. I'll get used to it eventually. Just... Ivy, can you come back and visit me when you have time?"

Hearing her brother sob, Ivy felt a lump form in her throat.

"Okay. I'll come see you as soon as I have a break."

She also planned to visit their mother in prison to find out exactly where the three sisters had come from.

She genuinely wanted to know where her biological parents were.

After chatting with him a bit longer, Ivy hung up and transferred a thousand dollars to his account.

She didn't want to send too much, afraid he might spend it recklessly.

Knowing Alaric was picking up Stella, Ivy rested for a while before heading to the kitchen to help Mrs. Gable prepare dinner.

Just as they finished cooking, Alaric walked through the door holding Stella's hand.

Ivy immediately rushed over to the little girl.

"Stella, Mommy missed you so much!"

Stella threw herself into Ivy's arms. "Mommy, I missed you too!"

The two girls hugged and kissed, completely ignoring the older man standing next to them.

Alaric, refusing to be left out, leaned down toward Ivy. "What about me?"

Ivy looked at him.

She honestly felt this man was getting a bit... childish.

His daughter was right there, yet he was demanding a kiss.

But thinking of her $1,000,000 compensation, how could she refuse?

"Then you need to work harder, Daddy. People say that if a mommy and daddy sleep in the same bed every night and still can't make a baby, it means the daddy is useless. Please don't make me think you're useless, Daddy."

Having dropped that bombshell, she skipped off toward the bathroom as if she hadn't just insulted him.

Alaric stood frozen in the hallway.

He was so utterly stunned that he didn't even know how to discipline her.

Ivy, however, burst out laughing. "Ahem, well... your daughter is very cute, and very funny. Haha..."

She quickly hurried after Stella toward the bathroom.

Alaric watched his little wife's retreating back. Truthfully, getting her pregnant wouldn't be difficult at all.

But he had no intention of having another child right now.

He had only just begun to taste the sweetness of a real romance.

Naturally, he wanted to enjoy this honeymoon phase. A baby would ruin the fun entirely.

Alaric followed them to the bathroom.

The three of them stood in front of the vanity mirror.

The reflection looked like a perfect, framed portrait of a family, the happiness radiating so strongly it practically spilled out the door.
