Buying My Forever Wife novel Chapter 386

"You're looking forward to it?"

Ivy beamed and nodded. "Of course. If we hold hands walking down the street, everyone is going to be so jealous of me."

Alaric didn't quite follow. "Why?"

"Because you're tall, handsome, you dress well, and you have great presence."

"They're definitely going to think, 'Wow, those two look so perfect together, I'm so jealous.'"

Ivy was already fantasizing about walking down the street with Mr. Foster and basking in the envious stares of passersby.

Alaric was speechless.

This girl was quite full of herself.

He thought she was going to say people would be jealous she found such an outstanding boyfriend.

Instead, she concluded that they looked perfect together.

The little lady certainly had confidence.

Alaric couldn't help but look over at her again.

"Are you happy?"

Ivy's smile grew even wider. "Obviously. You have no idea how excited I am."

Suddenly energized, she turned fully in her seat to face him.

"Do you have an itinerary? What are we doing besides the movie?"

"Shopping."

"And then?" Ivy looked at him, her eyes practically sparkling with anticipation.

"Eating. Sleeping."

Ivy went totally silent.

She blinked her large eyes, not daring to ask any further.

If she asked for any more details, she was afraid she'd end up pregnant right there in the passenger seat.

She let out a couple of awkward chuckles. Regardless of the schedule, just getting to go on a private date with Mr. Foster felt wonderfully romantic, like she was genuinely falling in love.

Alaric drove them straight to the mall.

He took Ivy's hand and headed directly toward the cinema.

Remembering Leo's tip that young women loved boba, he paused when they passed a milk tea shop. The line was quite long, mostly made up of girls around Ivy's age.

Alaric pulled Ivy right to the front of the line.

While she was lost in her thoughts, a girl from the crowd had already stepped up with her phone, nervously asking Alaric for his number.

Alaric glanced over at Ivy.

Seeing her standing a bit far away, he reached out, grabbed her hand, and pulled her close before telling the girl:

"I have a girlfriend."

The girl flushed bright red and practically sprinted back to her friends.

Then, Ivy heard the girls whispering behind her, gossiping about her and Mr. Foster.

"That girl is so lucky. I can't believe she found a boyfriend that handsome and generous."

"Right? I don't even know what he sees in her. They don't look good together at all, she's way too short for him."

"I think it's fine. She's really pretty herself, at least taller than us."

"I think they look really cute together."

Hearing the last comments, Ivy's mood soared. She hugged Mr. Foster's arm even tighter, pressing herself against his side.

Alaric, however, looked annoyed. He glared down at her.

"If you ever let someone else get that close to me again, just wait and see how I deal with you when we get home."
