Buying My Forever Wife novel Chapter 461

Ivy only came back downstairs after making sure Stella was okay.

She saw that Mr. Foster and his ex-wife were already seated in the dining room.

She walked over and sat down beside them.

But instantly, she sensed something was terribly wrong with the atmosphere.

Why did Mr. Foster look so furious?

As she wondered what had happened, Sylvia spoke up from beside her.

"Ivy, your phone rang a moment ago. Alaric answered it for you."

Ivy felt a surge of annoyance hearing Sylvia address Mr. Foster by his first name.

But she didn't let it show. She simply reached for her phone and checked the screen.

Seeing that it was a call from Xavier, she didn't think much of it and looked at Alaric to ask:

"What did Xavier say?"

Alaric stared straight ahead, his face thunderous, refusing to look at her.

"Why don't you call him back and find out for yourself?"

It was clearly spoken out of pure spite.

But Ivy didn't catch the heavy sarcasm. She actually took her phone, stood up, and walked away to return Xavier's call.

Watching her walk off to do exactly that.

Alaric felt the fury in his chest detonate. He slammed his silverware down onto the dining table with a sharp crack, abandoned his dinner completely, and stormed upstairs.

Ivy heard the loud smack against the table. When she turned around, Alaric was already marching up the stairs.

She had no idea what had just happened.

At that moment, Xavier's voice came through the line. "Ivy?"

Ivy snapped back to attention. "Yeah, why did you call me earlier?"

Xavier was still deeply intimidated by Alaric. Remembering the brutal warning he had just received, he knew better than to hold onto any hope for the favor he had asked of her.

He replied, "It's nothing. Just forget about Tristan's situation. You don't need to try and persuade Alaric anymore."

Ivy had no clue what Alaric had just said to him.

It had been enough to make Xavier hang up directly without offering another word.

She walked back into the dining room and asked Sylvia, "What exactly did Alaric say when he answered my phone?"

Sylvia looked at her with a sweet smile. "Nothing much. Who is this Xavier person to you anyway?"
