The absolute last thing she wanted was for this man to see her in adult diapers.
Alaric maintained his iron grip on her. "You just had my child, and you're suddenly shy?"
He gestured sharply for the caregiver to leave and forcefully guided Ivy into the bathroom.
Furious, Ivy strained to shove him away.
"I told you to back off! Yes, I had your baby, but we've been separated for over half a year. We're getting a divorce anyway, so keep your hands off me!"
For six entire months, he had treated her like she didn't exist.
He had ignored her calls and texts. Now he wanted to play Father of the Year and the devoted husband?
Ivy found his sheer opportunism utterly repulsive.
If she hadn't produced an heir, she could have dropped dead and he wouldn't have batted an eye.
Alaric had zero interest in arguing. He simply scooped her into his arms and carried her straight into the bathroom.
Setting her gently on the edge of the vanity, he turned to adjust the water temperature.
"We have a child now. Divorce is completely off the table. And I already explained exactly why I stayed away."
Ensuring the water was perfectly warm, Alaric stepped directly in front of her, his expression dead serious.
"If I hadn't sent you away, Mason would have torn you to pieces. You have no idea how unhinged that maniac has been these past six months. Focus on your recovery, and once you're medically cleared, we're going home."
He reached out to pull her nightgown off.
Ivy desperately clutched the fabric, burning with profound humiliation.
"Get out. I'll do it myself."
"You're barely strong enough to stand. How exactly are you going to do this yourself?"
He effortlessly overpowered her grip.
Unable to stop him, she gasped as he pulled the nightgown cleanly over her head.
Instinctively, she crossed her arms over her chest, utterly mortified and frantically trying to cover herself.
Alaric couldn't decide whether to laugh at her ridiculous modesty or weep at her condition.
She was a nursing mother.
