Buying My Forever Wife novel Chapter 496

There was absolutely no way she could bear to abort it.

But she also refused to use the child as leverage, returning to The Starlight Estate to beg Alaric to take back his words and stay in the marriage just for the baby's sake.

A marriage salvaged solely by a child would never survive.

Alaric would always resent her deep down.

It was far better for her to leave quietly with the baby and raise it entirely on her own.

Before leaving, Ivy made one final trip to the hospital the next day to visit Xavier.

After making sure he was recovering well and was scheduled for discharge in a few days, she decided to be completely honest with him.

"Make sure you get plenty of rest once you're home. I'm moving back to my hometown tomorrow, and I won't be coming back. So please don't go out of your way to visit Toby in Silverton anymore."

Hearing that she was leaving, Xavier looked deeply confused.

"What do you mean you're not coming back? Is it really completely over between you and Alaric?"

Ivy nodded. "I can't let go of my brother, so I want to go back and stay with him. Though I suppose when Hazel gets back from studying abroad, I might return for a visit."

As for her and Alaric...

This was likely the absolute end of the line for them.

She was incredibly grateful for everything he had done for her over the past months.

Even though they were divorcing and going their separate ways, Mr. Foster would always hold a profoundly important place in her heart.

They just weren't meant to be husband and wife.

Once she was gone, Alaric would definitely find someone else.

She only hoped he would truly be happy.

Xavier could see the absolute finality in her eyes.

Given their massive age gap and wildly different social standings, they really were a terrible match.

Breaking up was probably for the best.

But even with them broken up, Xavier was fully aware he couldn't pursue her either.

Because Alaric would never tolerate it.

To avoid provoking that tyrant and dragging the Rhodes family into complete ruin, he had to maintain a strict distance from Ivy.

"Xavier, I won't go to the estate to say goodbye to your parents or Tristan. Please give them my best."

Ivy stood up, preparing to leave.

Xavier realized they were sitting right in the middle of Foster Medical Center.
