Buying My Forever Wife novel Chapter 538

"Daddy, where are you?"

Alaric was currently standing at the cemetery, watching Mason standing stubbornly by Sebastian's grave. He stepped away to speak softly into the phone.

"Daddy is out right now. What's wrong?"

Stella didn't want Ivy to hear her little scheme, so she turned away and whispered into the watch.

"Daddy, Mommy wants to know where you are. I think she wants to come see you. Tell me your location so I can bring her to you, okay?"

Alaric fell silent.

Ivy, coming to see him willingly?

Impossible.

Knowing how devious the kid could be, he knew she was just making it up.

Alaric replied patiently. "Daddy's busy. I'll be back later."

"No! Tell me where you are right now. I'm bringing Mommy over. Do you want to make up with her or not?"

Stella refused to take no for an answer, demanding it with an adorably furious pout.

Knowing there was a zero percent chance Ivy would actually show up, Alaric rattled off the address.

Just in case they got lost, he even forwarded the GPS pin to Ivy's phone.

He typed a quick text: [If Stella insists on coming, you can bring her over.]

Ivy stared at the message on her screen, completely stunned.

A second later, Stella ran over, grabbing her hand and pulling her toward the door.

"Let's go, Mommy! I know where Daddy is. We're going to see him!"

Ivy also knew exactly where he was.

Clicking the location link, she realized it was the cemetery.

Why was he at a cemetery?

Remembering the promise she made to Maisie, Ivy had no choice but to grab her keys and take the child out.

At the cemetery.

Alaric put his phone away and walked back over to Mason, who was still slumped in front of the tombstone.

"What the hell is going on with you? Did you spend the entire night out here?"

Mason ignored him entirely. As the alcohol wore off, he stared blankly at the photo etched into the stone, and suddenly, a bitter sense of clarity washed over him.

Sebastian had betrayed him by having a child with a woman.

So what if he had slept with a woman too?
