Buying My Forever Wife novel Chapter 547

Taking the hint, Ivy and Stella respectfully piled into Alaric's car.

The two of them settled into the back seat.

Stella immediately launched into an overly dramatic sigh, sounding like a world-weary old woman.

"Well, it looks like you guys didn't listen to a word I said last night. You're still not making up. Honestly, Mommy, Daddy, what do I have to do to get you guys back to normal?"

She was pouring all her energy into stopping this divorce so she could keep her parents forever.

Ivy remained silent, completely unsure of how to respond to the interrogation.

Glancing at them through the rearview mirror, Alaric put on his stern dad voice.

"Adult matters are none of your concern."

Stella wasn't having it. She aggressively crossed her arms and pouted.

"If I don't care, you guys are going to divorce, and then I'm going to be a kid without a mommy! I refuse to be an unloved, motherless child!"

Ivy gently interjected, "You do have a biological mother, you know. In fact, you really ought to spend more time with her."

She was referring to Sylvia.

She truly didn't understand what was going through Stella's mind. Why wouldn't she at least give Sylvia a chance to make amends?

Hearing this, Stella shot Ivy a look of utter betrayal.

"Mommy, what is that supposed to mean? Are you trying to get rid of me? Are you seriously trying to pawn me off on that woman?"

"I can tell she doesn't actually love me! She only loves Daddy. She just wants to steal Daddy away from you!"

At that, Alaric immediately snapped to attention.

"Stella, don't speak nonsense."

Stella defensively fired back.

"It's the truth! Whenever you and Mommy weren't home, she would fake being sick just so she could force me to call you and drag you back to the house!"

"She constantly said horrible things about Mommy behind her back. She told me stepmothers were all wicked women, and that once Mommy had her own baby, both of you were going to throw me away!"

She was six years old; she was perfectly capable of figuring out who was genuine and who was toxic.

The mother she loved was Ivy, and Ivy was definitely not a wicked woman.

She also knew with absolute certainty that even if Ivy gave her a baby brother, she would never abandon her.

Which was exactly why she was rooting so hard for Ivy to have that baby.
