Buying My Forever Wife novel Chapter 539

Knowing he could no longer treat Maisie Miller as his biological sister, Mason Miller struggled to his feet and looked at Alaric Foster.

"Take me back."

He cast one last glance at the man on the tombstone.

In his heart, he placed a heavy, imperfect period on over a decade of deep emotions.

Seb had been a normal man, which was why he had little Stella.

Now, he would become a normal man too, find his real sister, and take responsibility for Maisie.

He wouldn't be visiting here as often anymore.

Seeing that Mason could barely stand, Alaric reached out to support him.

"Let's wait a bit longer."

Even though he wasn't sure if Ivy Sawyer would bring the kid over.

For some reason, he just wanted to wait.

What if they actually showed up?

It would be good for the child to see her biological father.

Mason looked at him. "Wait for what?"

Alaric spoke the truth.

"Ivy might bring Stella over. Stella has grown up so much and never met Seb, so let them have a moment together."

Mason didn't say anything else, stumbling slightly as he sat back down nearby.

Alaric checked the time, figuring that if Ivy was bringing the child, they would arrive soon.

Afraid they might get lost, he headed straight for the cemetery gates to wait.

Ivy had just stepped out of the cab by the road with Stella when she spotted the man in the sharp suit standing not too far away.

Stella saw him too, sprinting over with an excited shout.

"Daddy!"

Ivy trailed behind, an unspeakable awkwardness settling in her chest.

She had absolutely no idea how to act around him anymore.

In her mind, she considered them fully divorced.

And naturally, a divorced couple couldn't act as freely as they did when they were married.

Alaric bent down to scoop the little girl up, glancing briefly at Ivy before turning and walking into the cemetery without a word.

Ivy followed them, attempting to break the ice.

"Um... Maisie is a bit worried about her brother. Do you know where he is?"

Alaric finally looked at her openly.
