Buying My Forever Wife novel Chapter 505

Ivy was stunned.

A hospital check-up before the divorce?

Why was his paranoia so extreme?

She lowered her head, nervously gripping her silverware, terrified to meet his eyes.

What was she going to do?

If he found out she was pregnant, would he force her to stay until the baby was born before finalizing the divorce?

She absolutely refused to trap herself in this marriage just because of a child.

The core issues hadn't been resolved. Even if they stayed together for the baby's sake, their lives would still be riddled with endless conflicts.

All she wanted was to get the divorce, walk away, and quietly raise her child alone.

She didn't dare hope for anything else.

"If you don't say anything, I'll take that as a yes."

Alaric stared her down as he spoke. "When we get back, we're going to the hospital for a full workup. Once I'm certain there's zero chance you're pregnant, we'll go to The County Clerk’s Office."

Snapping back to reality, Ivy kept her head down, still unable to meet his gaze, and frantically denied it.

"Don't worry, there's absolutely no way I'm pregnant."

"Because my period just started yesterday."

A flicker of disappointment flashed through his eyes, though he kept his gaze fixed on her.

How could he not see right through her? This infuriating woman just wanted to be done with him, desperate to get as far away from him as possible and never cross paths again.

But he couldn't quite bring himself to let go.

Especially after finding out that Xavier hadn't come looking for her in the past two weeks, and they had completely cut contact. He realized he really might have been wrong.

He figured that if he had truly wrongfully accused her, he should swallow his pride and try talking to her nicely.

Ignoring her icy demeanor, Alaric stated flatly.

"Regardless, you're coming back to Capital City with me. Otherwise, this divorce isn't happening."

Ivy buried her head and stayed silent.

She was afraid that if she said too much, he would instantly realize she was lying.

She needed to be extremely careful with her words and actions. Once the divorce was final, she would sprint right back here.

She absolutely could not let him find out about the baby.
