Buying My Forever Wife novel Chapter 566

Sylvia suddenly broke down, her legs giving out as she openly wept and begged.

"Stella, Mommy misses you so much. Can't you just give me a few minutes alone to catch up with you? Please?"

Stella remained stubborn, refusing to step out from behind Ivy.

Left with no other option, Sylvia turned her tear-streaked face to Ivy.

"Ivy, I'm begging you. I really miss my daughter. I don't even blame her for preferring you, but please, as one woman to another, can you just give me a moment to make things right with my little girl?"

Seeing the growing crowd of onlookers casting curious glances as Sylvia sat crying on the pavement...

If she refused, people might genuinely think she had kidnapped the woman's child.

Her resolve finally crumbled. She gently took Stella's hand, speaking in a soft, encouraging tone.

"Stella, I'll be standing right over there. I won't go far, I promise."

Stella realized that if she didn't humor her biological mother, the crazy woman would likely follow them all the way back to Mason's house.

To ensure her family of three wasn't disturbed later, she reluctantly caved.

She turned to Sylvia and huffed.

"Fine. I'll stay with you for a minute."

Seeing that her plan was working, Sylvia eagerly grabbed the child's hand before turning to deliberately dismiss Ivy.

"Ivy, could you do me a favor and buy us a drink from over there? I just need a few words with Stella."

Ivy had no idea what Sylvia could possibly need to say in private.

For some inexplicable reason, a heavy sense of unease settled in her stomach.

Reluctant to let the child out of her sight, she looked down.

"Stella, are you thirsty?"

If the child said no, she would have the perfect excuse to stay exactly where she was.

But the little girl looked up with an eager grin.

"Mommy, I really want some ice cream! Can you go buy me some?"

Ivy knew the girl wasn't supposed to have cold treats, but she decided to just grab a drink instead. Before leaving, she cast a stern look at Sylvia. "Keep a close eye on her. I'll be right back."
