Buying My Forever Wife novel Chapter 453

Not wanting to bottle it up and suffocate in her own resentment, Ivy rolled over to face Alaric and snapped at him.

"Didn't we agree to go for a walk? Why didn't you come? Tell me the truth—do you still have feelings for your ex-wife?"

Hearing Ivy call that woman his ex-wife yet again...

Alaric felt incredibly frustrated.

He couldn't resist reaching out to pinch the tip of her nose.

"Do you really think my taste is that awful?"

Ivy swatted his hand away, missing his point entirely.

"Then why did you ditch me to chat with her for so long? If you still have feelings for her, just tell me straight. I'll pack my bags and leave."

She wouldn't deny that she was speaking out of anger.

The truth was, she couldn't bear the thought of leaving Alaric and Stella anymore.

Even if he didn't give her a single cent, she wanted to stay by their side forever.

Alaric didn't think his young wife was being unreasonable.

In fact, he realized she was actually starting to care about him.

He decided not to beat around the bush, his dark, affectionate gaze locking onto hers.

"Are you jealous?"

Ivy's face flushed a deep crimson as she averted her eyes.

"No."

"If you'd admit you're jealous, I could explain what actually happened."

"But since you're not, forget it. Let's go to sleep."

Alaric finally realized that when it came to love, no one was completely rational.

It made perfect sense why he used to get so riled up seeing Ivy interact with other men.

Just like Ivy was furious right now about him interacting with another woman.

It seemed it really did take another woman to provoke her, proving to him that she actually cared.

Proving that she wasn't just after his money.

Seeing him actually settling down to sleep without offering any explanation, Ivy felt a sharp sting of grievance. She lay beside him and pressed on.

"If you still want your ex-wife, just say so. I'll step aside so you two can be together."

That struck a nerve. Alaric rolled onto his side, fixing her with a hard stare.
