Buying My Forever Wife novel Chapter 454

Had she just been overthinking everything?

Alaric didn't have any lingering feelings for his ex-wife.

Were they just talking about Stella earlier?

That had to be it.

Ivy silently cursed herself for being so pathetic.

The moment the slightest obstacle appeared, she immediately tried to run away.

How could someone like her ever claim to deeply love this man?

Having thought it through, Ivy wrapped her arms around his waist and snuggled deep into his chest.

Alaric held her tight, pressing a kiss to her forehead.

"You can throw all the tantrums you want. You could tear this house apart and I'd rebuild it for you. Just don't ever tell me to go be with someone else. It drives me completely insane, do you understand?"

Ivy hummed in agreement, settling quietly into his embrace.

She really must have been overthinking it.

She couldn't afford to make such a stupid mistake again.

The next morning.

Ivy got up out of habit, heading out to help Stella wash up.

But as she reached the child's bedroom door, she heard Sylvia's voice from inside. She froze, then silently retreated to the master bedroom.

Stella's real mother was here now; she had no right to fight her for the child's attention.

If she came on too strong, people might actually start thinking she was barren and trying to steal someone else's kid.

Seeing her return, Alaric handed her a tie.

"Is that woman taking care of Stella?"

Ivy took the tie and started tying it for him, giving a small nod.

Alaric noticed her crestfallen expression and gently brushed a hand over her forehead in comfort.

"Just let the two of them bond. You're coming to work with me."

Ivy quickly chimed in, "I need to practice driving. I want to get my license as soon as possible."

Alaric insisted, "I'll teach you on the weekend. Today, you're coming to the office."

He felt like his productivity went up whenever his wife was around.
