Buying My Forever Wife novel Chapter 551

Alaric looked over at Mason.

"Isn't there any way to make her forgive me faster so she'll come back to The Starlight Estate with me?"

The days and nights in that empty house were pure torture.

Ever since Ivy moved out, he hadn't slept well for a single night.

If he had known that marriage—and one woman—could cause him this much agonizing pain, he never would have gotten married, even if someone offered him a billion dollars.

Mason offered the ultimate solution.

"Sure there is. Find a way to get her pregnant."

"No matter how strong a woman is, once she has a child, she has a weakness. For the sake of her baby, she'll unconditionally do whatever you ask."

Even though Mason wasn't interested in women, he understood them quite well.

People always said mothers were amazing.

Their greatness came from their willingness to make any sacrifice for their children.

Alaric sighed in defeat.

"It's not that I haven't thought of that. Last time I got drunk, I tried to make a move on her, but she slapped me."

That single slap had instantly shattered his masculine pride.

No matter how desperately his heart and body craved her, he refused to force her.

"Pfft!"

Mason couldn't hold back his laughter. To think that the CEO of the Foster Group, a king standing at the very top of the pyramid, was slapped by a little woman.

It was actually pretty hilarious if you thought about it.

At the same time, he looked at Alaric with a bit of sympathy.

"Alaric, you really regret getting married, don't you? After all, you were never troubled by this kind of stuff before."

Alaric didn't deny that he regretted the marriage.

But when he thought about all the unprecedented joy Ivy had given him since they wed—making him taste every flavor of life, bitter and sweet—he felt it was worth it.

At least his life wasn't so mind-numbingly dull anymore.

Gideon, who had been sitting in depressed silence for ages, finally sat up and chimed in.
