Buying My Forever Wife novel Chapter 455

All morning, Ivy and Alaric were practically joined at the hip.

They treated Sylvia as if she didn't exist.

Especially during breakfast, when Stella broke into a massive grin.

"Wow! Daddy and Mommy love each other so much! I'm so jealous."

Embarrassed by the child's teasing, Ivy finally toned it down a bit.

After breakfast, she turned to the little girl.

"Stella, Daddy and I have to go to work. Can your mom drop you off at preschool?"

Stella nodded obediently. "Okay! Bye, Mommy."

"Bye."

Ivy waved goodbye to the child and slipped into Alaric's car.

As they drove off, she caught sight of Sylvia in the rearview mirror. The woman was glaring at her, looking absolutely livid.

She looked ready to eat her alive.

So, that woman didn't just want her daughter back; she probably wanted Alaric, too.

Ivy glanced at the man beside her.

She reminded herself not to worry.

As long as Alaric didn't push her away, she would remain tied to him forever. No one would ever have the chance to tear them apart.

And even if he did decide to leave her one day, it wouldn't be the end of the world.

She could survive without a man.

It wasn't a big deal.

After watching Ivy and Alaric drive away.

Sylvia finally led the child into the car and headed for the preschool.

She turned to the little girl. "Stella, I'm your real mother. Ivy is just your stepmother, you hear me?"

Stella looked at her, clearly uncomfortable as she fired back.

"I want her to be my real mommy. What's it to you?"

Sylvia choked on her next words.

Although she was boiling with rage, she couldn't take it out on the kid.

The girl was six years old; she understood everything.

If the little brat went running back to Alaric and repeated everything she said, she'd be finished.

To secure her spot at The Starlight Estate, Sylvia had no choice but to constantly suck up to the kid. She played the fragile victim, relentlessly whining about her struggles and hardships.
