Buying My Forever Wife novel Chapter 382

How many people in the world had access to a hundred million dollars?

She was torn, sitting there momentarily unsure of what to choose.

Alaric came out freshly washed. Seeing Ivy still sitting on the bed in a daze, he grabbed his clothes and started dressing right in front of her.

"What are you thinking about? Worried the card will decline?"

Ivy snapped out of it and quickly shook her head. "No, it's just... are you this generous to all women?"

She wouldn't deny it; she really loved money.

But a hundred million was too much. It scared her a little.

Maybe it was because she had never seen that kind of wealth, or because she had grown up in such poverty that she never imagined living such an opulent life.

She was terrified this was all just a dream.

Alaric finished putting on his shirt and handed his tie to Ivy, gesturing for her to tie it.

As Ivy worked on the knot, he stared down at her, his eyes full of deep affection and his voice incredibly gentle.

"I'm not this generous to all women. I only do this for my wife. Ivy, this amount of money is nothing compared to the experiences you've given me."

After saying that, he leaned down and captured her lips.

Ivy, still holding the ends of his tie, froze completely before melting into the kiss.

A few seconds later, he pulled back, his gaze lingering on her with even more tenderness.

"Just be a good girl from now on. I'll go to work, make money, and provide for you and the kids."

Ivy finished adjusting his tie, sat cross-legged on the bed, and obediently nodded.

But she didn't want to stay cooped up at home, so she moved to get out of bed.

"I'll leave with you. I need to go to the hospital to check on Gemma. Landon is helping map out a new treatment plan for her, and I want to see how it's going."

Alaric didn't object.

He stood by the bed and opened his arms. "Come here, I'll carry you."

Ivy felt a bit awkward. "No, don't. You're already dressed, I don't want to wrinkle your suit."

Alaric didn't care. He simply scooped her up and carried her into the bathroom.

He set her on the vanity counter, squeezed out her toothpaste, and ran the warm water for her.

He even grabbed a towel, ready to wash her face for her.

Ivy hurriedly raised her hands to stop him.

He followed Ivy out. "I'll change into a fresh set too."

The couple had breakfast with Stella before taking her to preschool together.

Even though it was completely out of his way, Alaric insisted that Leo drop Ivy off at the hospital first.

Before getting out of the car, Ivy leaned over and kissed the man's cheek, her voice sweet as she spoke.

"Darling, tomorrow is the weekend. Let's take Stella out to play together, okay?"

Alaric nodded. "Sure."

"Then I'll see you this afternoon. Bye."

Ivy stood at the entrance of the hospital's inpatient building, waving at the man in the car.

She didn't tear her eyes away until the car disappeared down the street, finally heading inside.

In the backseat, the corners of Alaric's lips curled upward into a handsome, unbidden smile.

Catching it in the rearview mirror, Leo spoke up.

"Boss, I've been with you for years, and I think that's the first time I've ever seen you smile."
