Buying My Forever Wife novel Chapter 536

"I don't get it."

Stella scrunched her face in frustration.

"All I know is that when it was just the three of us, we were so happy. You used to really love Daddy. You were always hugging and kissing him."

"What happened to you two? Why are you acting like total strangers now?"

Stella looked like she was about to cry from all the sadness she felt for them.

She completely despised seeing them act this way.

Ivy took her hand, leading her inside to change the subject.

"Let's go see if Ms. Miller is awake. We can ask her what she wants to eat."

Stella let out an exasperated sigh.

She really didn't know what to do with this mother of hers who always treated her like a clueless kid.

Ivy walked to Maisie's door.

She found Maisie awake, but still curled up in bed, crying softly.

Her heart ached for the girl as she tried to comfort her.

"Do you want to get up and eat something? Stella and I can take you out for some fresh air."

Maisie shook her head and rolled over to hide her face.

"Just ignore me. Let me be alone."

Ivy sighed, leaving the room with Stella in tow.

The moment they reached the bottom of the stairs, they bumped right into Katherine Miller.

Seeing the impeccably dressed, fiercely intimidating matriarch in her power suit, Ivy quickly pulled Stella to the side and bowed her head respectfully.

"Good morning, Mrs. Miller."

Katherine cast a fleeting, dismissive glance at Ivy before locking her eyes onto the little girl.

As she turned toward the living room, she delivered a chilling command.

"Get me a few strands of the child's hair. I need The DNA Samples."

She was determined to find out exactly whose bloodran through the child's veins.

If it turned out to be her son's, she might grudgingly allow the brat to stay in his life.

But if it belonged to Alaric, she could absolutely use the kid as leverage to force him into compliance.

Ivy was entirely bewildered, immediately shielding Stella behind her.
