Buying My Forever Wife novel Chapter 512

Seeing Alaric remain silent, Mason spoke up again.

"It seems Ivy really is important to you, dragging her along wherever you go. What, are you going to marry her?"

Alaric's gaze remained fixated on Ivy and the child. A flash of desolation crossed his eyes as he replied coolly.

"We broke up."

"Huh?"

Mason looked at him, convinced he had misheard.

Alaric elaborated, "Ivy and I are done."

"I only brought her because Stella needed her."

Mason's curiosity piqued, and he pressed, "Did you split up because of Stella's mother?"

"That's none of your business."

Alaric met Mason's gaze head-on. "I can leave the child with you. You can take over providing for Sebastian's daughter and her mother."

Whether Ivy lived at The Starlight Estate or not, he couldn't keep Sylvia around any longer.

That woman's intentions were painfully obvious.

The way she practically threw herself at him every day was downright nauseating.

Mason scoffed. "I'm only taking the kid. That woman isn't worthy of my dime."

Alaric could understand that.

In theory, Sylvia and Mason were romantic rivals.

And rivals certainly didn't finance each other's lives.

Accepting the terms, Alaric stood up and walked over to Ivy and the child.

"Stella, didn't you really like Mason? Mason just missed you and wanted you to visit for a few days. We haven't abandoned you."

Stella had finally calmed down under Ivy's soothing touch and stopped crying.

But her large eyes were still brimming with tears.

Hearing her father's words, she looked up at him, utterly heartbroken.

"You're lying! You and Mommy are divorced, and Mommy moved out of The Starlight Estate. You definitely don't want me anymore."

"Wahhh, I don't want to be separated from Mommy. I want to stay with Mommy forever!"

Stella stubbornly kept her arms locked around Ivy's neck.
