Buying My Forever Wife novel Chapter 495

Pregnant?

She was pregnant?

Ivy sat there utterly paralyzed, her hand instinctively drifting down to rest over her stomach.

She couldn't believe it. Of all times, she was actually carrying Mr. Foster's child right now.

She had no memory of how she managed to walk out of the hospital.

She wandered the streets in a complete daze, entirely clueless as to what she should do with the baby growing inside her.

Before, when she was with him, it was a child he had actively wanted.

If she had given birth then, Alaric and Eleanor would have completely provided for them.

But she and Alaric were broken up. They were literally just waiting to pick up their Divorce Decree.

Discovering she was pregnant at a time like this... what was she supposed to do?

Ivy had no answers. She stood rooted to the pavement, torn by an agonizing internal conflict.

Just then, the phone in her pocket began to ring.

It was an international number.

Knowing it had to be her sister, Ivy didn't hesitate to pick it up.

Over the phone, Hazel asked with genuine concern,

"Ivy, how are you and Toby doing lately?"

They had deliberately kept the entire ordeal with Xavier getting hurt a secret from her sisters abroad, not wanting them to worry.

The Rhodes family had also kept quiet.

With everything going on, Ivy could only offer reassurances.

"We're doing great. What about you? Are you and Gemma settling in okay over there?"

"Yeah, we're doing amazing here. By the way, Ivy, are you still with Mr. Foster? Your husband hasn't found out, right?"

Hazel was constantly anxious about her older sister's complicated living situation.

She was terrified that if Ivy's affair was ever exposed, she would be utterly humiliated and branded with a scarlet letter forever.

She desperately wanted her sister to just cut ties with one of them and commit fully to the other. If their family ever found out, they would be absolutely disgusted with her.

Knowing her divorce with Mr. Foster was essentially finalized, Ivy didn't want to keep any more secrets from her sister.

"Don't worry. Mr. Foster and I already broke up."

Hazel immediately pounced on the news.

"You really broke up? He didn't ask for that massive $100 million payout back, did he?"
