Buying My Forever Wife novel Chapter 528

Watching them scramble so desperately out of concern for Maisie, Ivy couldn't help but feel a strange pang of envy.

She envied an heiress like Maisie.

She came from a great family and was stunningly beautiful.

Not only did her brother treat her like absolute royalty, but his best friend was equally devoted to her.

It was exactly the kind of fairy-tale existence where a girl was fiercely protected and adored by everyone around her.

Thinking of Maisie's perfect life made Ivy think of her own.

When would she ever find her real family?

When would she finally be reunited with them?

"Mommy, I don't want to stay here anymore. I want Daddy. Let's go home and find Daddy, please?"

The little girl beside her had tossed her book aside and was throwing another tantrum.

Ivy snapped out of her daze. Hearing Stella's words, it felt as though Alaric had been gone for an eternity.

But he had literally just left the day before.

She looked at the child. "Stella, didn't we agree to stay here for the rest of our vacation before going back?"

"If you're bored, I can take you out to play tomorrow, okay?"

"I don't want to! I just miss Daddy."

Stella thrust out her lower lip and started crying. She turned away from Ivy, tapped furiously on her smartwatch, and called her father.

When he answered, she sobbed pathetically.

"Daddy, where are you? Can you come pick me up and take me home? I don't want to stay here anymore. I want to be with you."

Alaric was currently at The Starlight Estate, dealing with Sylvia Shaw.

Hearing his daughter's pitiful sobs, a sharp ache seized his chest.

He spoke to her with infinite patience.

"If you want to come back, tell Ivy to bring you home."

Even though he had only been gone for a day, he missed Ivy like crazy.

But his pride anchored him in place. After being rejected three times, he refused to humble himself again.

Stella glanced at Ivy, looking even more wronged.

"She doesn't want to! Daddy, are you going to divorce Mommy? Is she mad at you, and that's why she won't take me home?"
