Buying My Forever Wife novel Chapter 474

For the sake of their safety, Leo decided he couldn't listen to his boss.

He drove toward the hotel they had stayed at previously and ventured carefully,

"Boss, it's pitch black out. It's too dangerous for me to make the drive back now. Can we crash here for the night?"

Alaric remained silent. He leaned his head against the seat back and closed his eyes, silently weathering the agonizing grief tearing through him.

Ivy didn't go straight back to Xavier's room.

She found a secluded corner and let the tears fall in absolute silence.

She had always believed she was resilient.

She had always known the day would come when she and Alaric would part ways.

But she never expected that facing the end would hurt this deeply.

She didn't know how long she sat there.

Her phone rang.

She pulled it out and saw it was Leo calling.

Unsure of what he wanted, she answered anyway.

Over the line, Leo asked,

"Mrs. Foster, what happened between you and the Boss? How did things escalate to a divorce?"

With tears still damp on her cheeks, Ivy quickly scrubbed her face and forced a tone of pure indifference.

"I'm not good enough for your boss. If he wants a divorce, he can have it."

Hearing this, Leo immediately sensed a massive misunderstanding and pressed further,

"Nothing happened between you and Xavier, right?"

He firmly believed his boss was a thousand times the man Xavier was.

There was no way Ivy would throw Alaric away to run off with someone else.

To help clear the air for his boss, Leo had dropped Alaric off at the hotel, found a quiet spot, and made the call.

"There is absolutely nothing going on between Xavier and me. If Alaric insists on pinning this on me, what am I supposed to do?"

"Then go prove your innocence."

"How? If I tell you that Xavier and I bumped into each other here purely by chance, would you believe me?"
