Buying My Forever Wife novel Chapter 476

Was it just to spite him?

Even though he had fallen hopelessly in love with her and part of him was tearing itself apart to keep her.

But Ivy's sheer disregard for his feelings had finally crossed the line.

He felt he could never touch her again without being disgusted.

It was better to just sever the ties and let her walk.

"Boss, maybe you should think this through. You know Ivy is incredibly loyal. Xavier risked his life for her. It's only natural she'd stick around to make sure he's alright."

Alaric shot a lethal glare at Leo, his tone venomous.

"Since when do you know her so well?"

Leo instantly realized he had screwed up.

He had just dumped a gallon of gasoline onto the inferno.

To save his own job, he clamped his mouth shut and retreated to his room.

Alaric stared at his phone.

She had instantly agreed to the divorce. He had been gone this long, and she hadn't bothered to call or send a single text.

She couldn't wait to be rid of him so she could freely parade around with Xavier.

She had never loved him. She only loved his money.

Unable to shake the agonizing weight in his chest, Alaric got up and took a shower.

The moment he stepped out, a towel wrapped around his waist, the doorbell chimed.

Wondering where Leo had disappeared to,

he went to open the door himself.

He never expected to see Ivy standing there.

A brief flicker of emotion crossed his eyes before his expression instantly hardened into stone.

"What are you doing here?"

Ivy reminded herself that she was this old man's first love, his first marriage.

And Stella wasn't even his biological child.

She suddenly felt like she had won the lottery.

With a prize like that, swallowing her pride to coax him a little was a small price to pay.
