Buying My Forever Wife novel Chapter 593

Just then, Alaric noticed Ivy walking out of the bathroom.

He replied to Toby in a voice so low only the two of them could hear.

"If you can actually get your sister to willingly bring the baby and come back to Capital City with me, I'll give you a million dollars."

At the mention of a million dollars, Toby's eyes lit up.

He was so thrilled he almost jumped.

Spotting his sister out of the bathroom, he immediately reined in his excitement and flashed her a bright smile.

"Ivy, why did they bring little Sienna here today? Is she mostly out of the woods?"

Seeing that both Toby and Alaric were in the room, Ivy gave a casual reply and went over to sit down so the caretaker could blow-dry her hair.

Alaric walked over, took the hairdryer from the caretaker's hands, and stood behind Ivy to dry her hair himself.

Feeling a bit awkward, Ivy tried to refuse.

"You don't need to do that."

Alaric ignored her, focusing entirely on the task.

Ivy suddenly remembered that when they signed the agreements, she had promised to let him stay and take care of her and the baby.

She couldn't go back on her word now, or he might change his mind about the divorce.

Sitting there, she looked over at Toby and reminded him.

"You have school tomorrow. You don't need to stay and keep watch at the hospital. Head home early."

"Oh."

Toby agreed, but he sidled over and sat right next to Ivy anyway.

"I'll just stay for another half hour. Half an hour, and then I'm out."

He shot Alaric a meaningful look, silently urging him to leave so he could talk to his sister privately.

Alaric was a shrewd man; there was no way he'd miss Toby's obvious signal.

After finishing with Ivy's hair, he casually made up an excuse.

"I have a video conference in a bit. I need to get some work done."

"Go ahead."

Ivy replied politely.
