Buying My Forever Wife novel Chapter 484

If this wasn't handing Sylvia a golden opportunity on a silver platter, what was?

As much as it hurt, Mr. Foster had already said it. What else could she add?

Looking at the child, Ivy could only offer comfort:

"I haven't stopped wanting you. Whenever you miss me, I'll come back and visit."

"No! Mommy, I don't want you to leave me!"

Stella hopped off her chair and threw herself at Ivy, her face completely streaked with tears.

Sylvia quickly moved in to pull her away.

"Don't be like this, Stella. Mommy's right here. If you want a little brother, I'll give you one. Stop bothering Ms. Sawyer, okay?"

"Go away! I don't want you!"

Stella shoved Sylvia's hand away, clinging tightly to Ivy as she sobbed and screamed,

"Mommy, don't leave me! If you have to go, take me with you, please! I don't want Daddy either. Daddy is just a liar! Waaah..."

Ivy had never realized just how incredibly important she was to the child.

It was true she had treated the little girl with genuine care.

But there were plenty of times she had inadvertently allowed the child to get hurt or lost, and quite a few instances where she hadn't been able to stay by her side.

Yet right now, the child actually wanted to leave with her.

Touched, Ivy began to cry as well, holding her tight, though she wouldn't dare actually take her away.

The two clung to each other, painting a truly pitiful picture.

Sylvia was getting angry.

She couldn't fathom why her own biological daughter was so obsessed with this stepmother, Ivy.

But whenever she remembered that Ivy and Alaric were in the middle of a messy divorce, and that Alaric wanted Ivy out of The Starlight Estate, she was absolutely thrilled.

Their relationship seemed far worse than she had initially thought.

Glancing over at Alaric, who was sitting there with a stony face, Sylvia spoke up:

"Alaric, she's just a child. She's impulsive. Please don't take her words to heart."
