Buying My Forever Wife novel Chapter 521

Ivy thought about the fact that if she didn't bring Alaric back with her, the Miller siblings would undoubtedly lecture her again.

She stood nearby and pleaded.

"You should come back with me. Otherwise, I won't have a good explanation for Mason."

After all, Mason had been so absolute with his words the night before; she didn't dare risk anything actually happening to Alaric.

Alaric looked up at her.

He knew perfectly well she wasn't genuinely worried about him.

She was only doing this because she felt pressured by what others had said.

His chest tightened with a sour ache, but he forced himself to stand up and follow her back.

The ride back was filled with complete silence.

Perhaps because the alcohol was still in his system, Alaric's head throbbed with a dizzying pain, and he looked incredibly pale.

Ivy glanced at him, asking out of concern.

"Are you feeling terrible? Just hold on a little longer. I'll make you some soup the moment we get back."

Alaric rejected her with stubborn pride. "There's no need. Just focus on your own job."

She wasn't actually worried about him.

Why force her to stay by his side?

Alaric just wanted to head back, get some rest, and fly back to Capital City by noon.

But once they arrived at Mason's villa, he felt so awful that he collapsed onto the bed and couldn't get back up.

The Miller siblings weren't home.

Whether it was to deliberately give Ivy and Alaric some alone time, they had taken Stella out with them.

Ivy went to the kitchen to prepare some soup for him.

When she brought it into the room, she saw that he seemed to be asleep. She sat beside the bed and called out softly.

"Alaric, get up and have something to drink."

Alaric couldn't understand why he felt so terrible. He opened his eyes to look at her, his vision slightly blurry.

"Didn't I tell you to leave me alone? Go spend time with Stella."
