Buying My Forever Wife novel Chapter 550

And Ivy had her own concerns to worry about, too.

So, in this world, lovers couldn't always have a happy ending.

Many people were bound by fate to meet, only to be forced apart.

"Mommy, this is so good. Try some."

Stella was munching on snacks beside her, completely uninterested in the dramatic affairs of adults.

Seeing her mother looking so gloomy, the little girl handed her a bowl of cherries.

Ivy took it, offering a faint smile, and looked over at Maisie.

"Come have something to eat."

Maisie nodded and came over to sit down right beside them.

Mason was still worried about Gideon, so he left them with a brief word:

"You guys go ahead and eat. Don't worry about us; I'm going to go check on him."

He quickly walked off.

When he reached the lake, he saw Gideon lying on the grass, the corners of his eyes slightly damp. Alaric was sitting nearby, looking just as despondent.

Mason sat down beside them.

"You can't force love. Since Maisie doesn't want to be with you anymore, you should just let her go. Stop pressuring her."

As he said this, Mason felt entirely guilty, unable to even look his friend in the eye.

Gideon seemed to have thought it through and answered without hesitation:

"Yeah, I'll listen to you. I won't bother her anymore."

He was determined to see exactly what kind of man Maisie would end up marrying.

That man had better be superior to him in every single way, or else Gideon would never accept it.

"I'm glad you figured it out."

To mask his internal guilt and remorse, Mason shifted the topic over to Alaric.

"It looks like you and Ivy still haven't made any progress. What's going on with you two? Is it really that hard for a married couple to make up?"
