Ivy was completely baffled.
Wasn't Mr. Foster supposed to be kicking her out?
Why was he kicking Sylvia out first?
And handing Stella over to her? Did this mean he wasn't planning on making her leave The Starlight Estate anymore?
She sat there hugging the child, unsure of what to say.
Conversely, Sylvia's face crumpled as she looked at Alaric with tear-streaked cheeks. "Alaric, you can't be this cruel to me."
"If it hadn't been for Seb back then, I wouldn't have ended up like this. You can't separate me from my daughter. I can't live without her."
As she spoke, she grabbed Stella and pulled her into a hug, acting as though she couldn't bear to let her go.
Highly repulsed, Stella thrashed in her arms.
"Don't touch me! I don't want you as a mommy! You don't even love me!"
"You're just using me to steal Mommy's place! I hate you! Let me go right now!"
Astounded, Sylvia could hardly believe that a five or six-year-old girl could say such things.
She looked at Alaric, shaking her head defensively.
"Alaric, it's not what Stella says. I never intended that. I just want to be with my daughter."
His patience fully evaporated, Alaric snapped, "Either take your daughter and leave, or just disappear."
Having barely eaten, he pushed his chair back, stood up, and strode out the door.
Left behind, Sylvia stood there as if she had been struck by lightning.
She had thought that with Alaric and Ivy fighting over a divorce, her opportunity had finally arrived.
She never expected she'd be the first one tossed out.
She hadn't realized just how much Alaric despised her presence; even while divorcing Ivy, he still prioritized getting rid of her.
He didn't even want her daughter anymore.
Sylvia simply couldn't accept this reality.
