Buying My Forever Wife novel Chapter 511

Alaric drove for several hours before finally arriving in Northport.

By the time they pulled in, the sky was pitch black.

He knew exactly where Mason's private estate was and drove straight up to the front gates.

He stepped out and pressed the doorbell.

Ivy hurriedly followed.

The heavy doors swung open, and a maid bowed respectfully. "Please come in."

Ivy was quite curious. Did the maid know Alaric? Why was she so polite to him?

Had he visited so often in the past that he was practically a regular?

Figuring that must be the case, she didn't dwell on it.

The two were led to the living room and asked to take a seat.

"Please wait a moment. I will inform Mr. Miller," the maid said.

Ivy nodded.

Watching the maid walk away, she took in her surroundings.

It was a ridiculously luxurious, spacious, and brightly lit mansion.

Beside the sofa were scattered plush toys and snacks—likely prepared for Stella.

Still slightly confused, Ivy looked at the cold, brooding Alaric and asked.

"Why on earth did Mason take Stella? Is something going on between him and Sylvia?"

Alaric shot her a sideways glance and denied it.

"No."

"Then why..."

"Are you just gossiping, or do you actually care about Stella?"

Alaric cut her off, his chiseled face as hard as ice.

Because Ivy had explicitly told him earlier that even if he didn't want a divorce and wanted to make the marriage work, she wasn't interested.

She was dead set on leaving him.

Consequently, he had stripped away any warmth in his attitude toward her.

"Of course I care about Stella."

Ivy knew very well that the little girl held as much weight in her heart as her own unborn child.

If Alaric hadn't initiated the divorce and forced her out of The Starlight Estate, she never would have been able to bear parting with Stella.

Add to that the fact that Stella's biological mother had returned to claim her place, Ivy knew she had no right to usurp Sylvia. That was why she had painfully severed ties and stopped visiting.
