Buying My Forever Wife novel Chapter 514

This bastard had been married to Ivy the entire time.

It completely ruined his brief fantasy of trying to bend Alaric.

Looking back, he felt like an absolute clown.

Mason was livid, fighting the urge to unleash a string of vicious curses.

Alaric's expression turned grim as he held his friend's gaze.

"It wasn't that I didn't want to tell you guys. I just never expected to actually fall for Ivy. Now she wants a divorce, and I can't let her go."

"So let her stay here for now. If you don't, I'm taking Stella back with me."

He knew Mason would eventually cave and help him.

After all, Mason desperately wanted to raise Sebastian's child.

But as long as Alaric held custody, he could take Stella away whenever he pleased.

Mason kicked him again, shouting in pure frustration.

"I swear I owe you in a past life. If it weren't for Stella, I'd tell you and Ivy to get the hell out of my sight."

The thought of this man putting on a performance in front of him all this time made Mason sick to his stomach. He stood up and stormed off, refusing to deal with Alaric any longer.

Alaric didn't mind. He pulled out his phone and called Leo Archer.

He instructed him to have the HR department draft up The Professional Caregiver Agreement immediately.

Only by locking Ivy into a contract could he ensure she would comfortably stay and look after Stella.

Otherwise, he would constantly be terrified she might run.

Terrified she would vanish from his world forever.

After coaxing Stella to sleep, Ivy pulled out The Childhood Photograph she had retrieved from her hometown and examined it closely.

The baby in the picture had a radiant complexion and stunning features. Even though she looked barely a month old, she was dressed in designer brands from head to toe.

She was draped in gold jewelry—anklets, bracelets, and a necklace—looking incredibly precious and wealthy.

Her biological parents had to have been exceptionally well-off.

She just didn't know if they were still alive after twenty-something years.
