Buying My Forever Wife novel Chapter 480

"And all the gifts you gave me are in the walk-in closet. The Eternal Promise Rings you gave me are on the nightstand, too."

"If everything looks fine to you, bring the Divorce Agreement over so I can sign it."

Alaric stared at her luggage. Hearing her words, the pain in his chest made it almost impossible to breathe.

He asked in a hoarse voice,

"Didn't you marry me for money? Why aren't you taking it with you? Did you really think I'd ask for back something I already gave away?"

Why was she acting so high and mighty now?

Was leaving the cash behind just a ploy to make him feel guilty?

In reality, she was probably just playing hard to get, thinking it wasn't enough.

Ivy fought hard to keep her tears from falling. She took a deep breath and continued,

"I told you, I'm leaving with nothing. I won't take a single thing that doesn't belong to me."

"It's true I married you for the money, but I don't think money is that important anymore. Even without your wealth, I can support myself."

Ivy knew she was being a bit silly.

Why turn down a fortune?

But her pride simply wouldn't let her walk away with his cash.

As a twenty-three-year-old adult who no longer had younger siblings to support, surviving in this world wasn't an issue as long as she worked hard.

So there was no need to take a man's money and leave herself open to constant accusations that her feelings had been fake all along.

Hearing her words, Alaric felt as if his heart were being ripped in two.

But he stubbornly refused to soften up and forgive her.

He also didn't buy that she suddenly didn't care about money.

He refused to believe she was truly willing to walk away cleanly without taking a single thing of his.
