Buying My Forever Wife novel Chapter 503

Alaric was still harboring a lot of resentment.

He glared at Ivy with a mix of frustration and spite, snapping back at her.

"I just wanted to see exactly how cold-blooded you could be. Turns out, you're warm and welcoming to everyone else, but totally heartless when it comes to me. You really are something."

What did this woman say to him before?

She claimed that even after the divorce, she would be there whenever he needed her.

Yet, barely half a month had passed, and she had become this ruthless and unfeeling.

He was literally standing outside her door, and she stubbornly refused to even step out and check on him, leaving him to freeze in the dead of night.

Alaric truly wanted to rip her chest open just to see what her heart was made of.

Ivy quickly averted her gaze, trying desperately to suppress the violent tempest of emotions inside her, forcing a mask of indifference.

"We're divorced. I think it's best if we cut contact completely."

They were never meant to be.

Dragging this out would only leave them both broken.

Walking away and cutting ties was the most respectful and dignified thing they could do for each other.

Alaric continued to stare at her.

He genuinely hadn't expected this infuriating woman to be so brutal.

She left without a second thought, and once she was gone, she planned to never set foot in Capital City again, completely severing him from her life.

He didn't understand why.

It wasn't like she was the only woman in the world for him.

With his status, wealth, and looks, he could have absolutely anyone he wanted.

But it was this exact infuriating woman whose casual, indifferent words stabbed into his heart like a jagged blade.

The suffocating agony clouded his eyes and drained the color from his face.

Even his voice was hoarse and trembling when he spoke.

"Is that so? Well, unfortunately for you, you're going to have to come back to Capital City with me. Because The County Clerk’s Office won't issue a Divorce Decree based on just a Divorce Agreement."

Ivy looked at him again.

"Didn't Leo say you guys would handle it?"

"He's never been divorced. What the hell does he know?"
