Buying My Forever Wife novel Chapter 541

The group lingered at the cemetery a while longer before finally heading out.

Ivy and Stella had arrived via a cab, which had long since driven away.

Mason had also taken a taxi the night before.

With no other options, they all had to pile into Alaric's car.

Mason tactfully took Stella and slid into the back seat, leaving the passenger seat for Ivy.

Ivy didn't argue. She sat quietly up front, turning her head to stare out the window, refusing to speak or even glance at the man behind the wheel.

Alaric, on the other hand, stole glances at her constantly.

He realized that as long as he could see her every day—as long as she didn't vanish from his world completely—he was content with this arrangement.

As for the crippling loneliness that struck him in the dead of night, he could endure it.

He stayed silent, focusing on the road.

But in the back seat, Stella couldn't hold her tongue.

"Mommy, Daddy, are you guys still not going to make up?"

"How long is this going to go on?"

"I don't care, you promised me a little brother, and I want to see him this year! If you don't give me a little brother, I'm going to run away from home so you'll never find me."

She was purposely trying to threaten them.

Hoping that fear for her safety would force them to be a loving couple again.

Hearing this, Ivy instinctively placed a hand over her lower abdomen.

Speaking of babies, she really needed to find time to visit Metropolitan General for a checkup.

Her pregnancy was incredibly strange. Aside from her constant overthinking, she hadn't experienced a single symptom.

It was as if she wasn't pregnant at all.

Just to be safe, she needed to see a doctor and find out if there was anything she should be paying special attention to.

Alaric caught sight of her hand resting on her stomach.

He casually mentioned, "I was planning to take you to the hospital last time, but things got busy when Stella arrived. It's still early today; let's swing by the hospital when we get back."

He desperately wanted to know if she was actually pregnant.

After all, they hadn't used protection during those last few times.
