Buying My Forever Wife novel Chapter 403

Seeing Alaric return from seeing Eleanor out, Ivy quickly went over to him.

"Your mom left?"

"Yeah."

"What were you two talking about? I had the feeling you were discussing me the whole time."

Ivy was tactful enough to know Eleanor had come specifically to speak with him.

That was why she had taken Stella aside to arrange flowers, giving mother and son their privacy.

But she hadn't expected the older woman to leave without staying for dinner.

Had their conversation ended on a sour note?

Ivy couldn't help but be curious.

"We were talking about you. She said you're wonderful and told me to treat you well—and to make sure we have a few more kids."

Alaric pulled her into an embrace, inhaling the sweet scent of her passion. Holding his wife felt incredibly comforting.

He truly couldn't bear to be separated from her for even a second.

His life was now entirely consumed by work and his wife.

Even his daughter couldn't quite compete with the place Ivy held in his heart.

"Who says I'm having more kids with you?"

Her heart fluttered with a sweet warmth as she playfully slipped out of his arms and headed toward the dining room.

"Stella, you haven't washed your hands yet. Come on, let's get ready for dinner."

Alaric watched her walk away, a soft smile playing on his lips.

Since Ivy entered his life, his days had become vibrant and full, a rollercoaster of profound emotions.

He only hoped that every day from now on would remain just as beautiful.

That night, after tucking Stella in, Ivy was heading back to the master bedroom when her phone rang. It was Hazel.

"Ivy, are you still with Mr. Foster?" Hazel asked.

Ivy didn't deny it.

Her sister hadn't visited her or Gemma at Metropolitan General lately.

However, Landon had been keeping a close eye on Gemma's condition.

She hadn't updated Hazel on her personal situation either.

Through the phone, Hazel continued,

Besides, their youngest sister was still recovering.

Even though the chemotherapy had stabilized her condition, she still required regular medical checkups.

Not to mention, Gemma hadn't even finished high school yet.

Ivy had been planning to enroll her in a good high school in Capital City for the next semester so she could resume her education.

Hazel quickly explained.

"Landon thinks Gemma is incredibly brilliant. He sees a lot of potential in her and wants to take her abroad so he can oversee her treatment while teaching her medicine."

"He wants to take her on as his student. Are you okay with that?"

Landon had originally planned to discuss it with Ivy himself.

But Hazel worried it might be too sudden, so she wanted to test the waters first.

She needed to gauge Ivy's reaction.

Ivy gripped her phone, remaining silent for a long time.

She had to admit, Landon was a genuinely honorable man. He was serious, responsible, and professional.

And it was thanks to his targeted treatments that Gemma had been recovering so remarkably fast.
