Buying My Forever Wife novel Chapter 558

"Oh my gosh, PG-13! My eyes!"

Furious, Ivy tried to shove him away.

Alaric caught her wrists, sucking hard on her bottom lip before finally pulling back. He cupped her small face in his hands so she couldn't look away.

"Stop calling me Mr. Foster. I am your husband. From now on, call me Darling."

Calling him Mr. Foster made him sound like a total stranger.

Ivy refused, pouting her lips as she kicked him in annoyance.

"You're so annoying! Who said you could kiss me?"

A flicker of amusement danced in Alaric's eyes as he affectionately pinched her cheek.

"If you won't kiss me, then I'll just have to kiss you."

"Be a good girl, Ivy. No more talk of divorce. Stay here and keep Stella company. I'll come right back to you two as soon as I'm done working."

Ivy was still frustrated, her pout so pronounced you could hang a bucket from it.

She shot him a resentful glare, completely at a loss for words.

Strangely, when they weren't fighting and he was treating her this sweetly, her heart felt incredibly warm.

Was she falling for him all over again?

Was her romantic heart tricking her into wanting to save this marriage?

Ivy had no idea what to choose, so she simply kept quiet and didn't argue with him.

Taking her silence as consent, Alaric turned to the child who was pretending to be invisible on the couch. "Stella, listen to your mom. Daddy has to go to work."

Only then did Stella peek out, waving her hand with a sweet smile.

"Bye, Daddy! Don't worry, I'll listen to your wife!"

Right before he left, Alaric pinched Ivy's cheek one last time. "Wait for me."

He strode out the door, leaving Ivy standing there, her face burning red as she watched his retreating back. Deep down, an unexplainable sweetness bubbled up in her chest.

Stella trotted over to her, tilting her head up to ask innocently:

"Mommy, did you and Daddy really make up?"

Ivy looked down at her and offered a soft smile.

"No, we didn't."

"But Daddy just kissed you, and you didn't even push him away."
