Seeing Ivy Sawyer acting so heartless, Alaric Foster really wanted to spin the steering wheel and drive away.
This infuriating woman simply didn't know what was good for her.
But thinking about the pack of wolves masquerading as her relatives back in her hometown, he worried they would take advantage of her again. Despite the tight knot of frustration in his chest, he couldn't leave her behind.
He convinced himself to keep trailing her.
Watching Ivy walk along the shoulder of the road, Alaric called out to her.
"Get in. I'll drop you off."
Ivy refused. "No need. You should head back."
"Ivy, do I really have to get out and carry you?"
Alaric's patience was wearing thin.
He couldn't be as cold-blooded as her, walking away without a single backward glance.
Regardless of what happened, they weren't divorced yet.
Even if they did finalize it, he would never just abandon her if she ran into trouble.
Ivy realized it would take her more than half an hour to walk home. Knowing Alaric, he would throw a fit if she didn't comply.
And when he lost his temper, there was no telling what he might do.
Hesitating no longer, Ivy got back into the car.
But neither of them spoke another word.
Upon arriving at the house, Alaric didn't get out; he just sat in the car and waited.
Before Ivy could even go inside and retrieve what she came for, Alaric received a call from Sylvia Shaw back in Capital City.
She was sobbing as she spoke to him.
"Alaric, my Stella was taken away. Can you come back and help me get her back? I really can't live without her."
Hearing this, Alaric's every nerve pulled taut, and he asked urgently.
"Who took her?"
Who would be so suicidal as to march into his home in broad daylight and take his child? It was a death wish.
Sylvia sobbed and confessed the truth.
"It was... it was that Miller guy."
Hearing the name Miller, Alaric immediately thought of Mason Miller.
