Buying My Forever Wife novel Chapter 501

Ivy snapped awake, sitting bolt upright as she stared hard at her phone screen.

When she saw Alaric's number, she froze.

He had come looking for her?

Hadn't they been divorced for half a month already?

What was he doing here?

Thinking she must have misheard, Ivy pressed the phone to her ear again, holding her breath as she asked.

"W-What did you say? I didn't catch that."

Alaric enunciated every syllable. "I said, I'm downstairs. Come open the door."

This time, she heard him perfectly.

He was standing right outside her building.

So he had come all the way to their small town?

Ivy was utterly baffled. "W-Why are you at my house? Aren't we already divorced?"

She figured that two divorced people without any financial disputes had absolutely no reason to keep in touch.

Besides, he had no idea she was pregnant.

She hadn't even told Toby yet.

She genuinely couldn't fathom why he would show up in the middle of the night.

Alaric refused to admit that he realized he had misjudged her, or that he had missed her so much he couldn't stop himself from coming to see her.

Maintaining his arrogant facade, he threw out a random excuse.

"I'm here on a business trip. All the hotels nearby are booked, and I had nowhere to stay, so I came to find you."

"What?"

Ivy was in sheer disbelief. "Our tiny town's hotels are fully booked? Who are you trying to fool?"

Alaric sounded irritated.

"So you're not going to let me stay the night?"

Ivy fell silent.

Gripping her phone, she sat on the edge of the bed, debating whether to go downstairs and see him.
