Buying My Forever Wife novel Chapter 500

Alaric knew he was acting impatient.

He was desperate to prove his theory right.

After all, he and Ivy had been separated for half a month, and he hadn't seen any actual moves made between her and Xavier.

He refused to believe he had made a mistake and wrongfully accused her.

Xavier offered a faint smile and patiently explained.

"I went to her hometown because my sister was worried about her brother and asked me to check on him. I just didn't expect the timing to be so coincidental. The moment I arrived outside Ivy's apartment complex, I saw someone trying to drag her into a car."

"I stepped in when I heard her screaming for help. I never asked her to take care of me. She stayed out of guilt because she felt responsible."

So the reason Alaric broke up with Ivy was because he had gotten hurt saving her, and she had stayed to take care of him?

It turned out that even the mighty boss of the Foster Group could lose his mind over a woman.

It seemed he really did care for Ivy.

Hearing Xavier's explanation, Alaric asked uncertainly, "You really don't have any feelings for her?"

Xavier chuckled again and spoke the truth.

"Initially, I did have a bit of a crush on her. But once I found out you two were together, the thought never crossed my mind again."

"Fight you for a woman? I'd have to have a death wish."

The implication was clear, instantly elevating Alaric's status and position.

It made the ever-prideful Alaric believe that Xavier truly felt unworthy of competing with him.

So he really had misunderstood Ivy?

Thinking about how she had already found a job in her hometown, she might truly never return to Capital City. If he didn't swallow his pride and bring her back first, they might never see each other again.

The thought of going the rest of his life without seeing Ivy was a suffocating wave of despair Alaric couldn't even bear to imagine.

Unable to sit still a second longer, he abandoned his meal and stood up, eager to head straight to her hometown.

Xavier quickly called out to him, "Alaric, given the years of history between our families, could you please let my brother off the hook?"

Alaric paused in his tracks and threw his words over his shoulder. "We'll talk about it after I bring Ivy back."
