Buying My Forever Wife novel Chapter 597

Early the next morning.

Alaric left the hospital room and dispatched someone to the prison to question Mrs. Sawyer about Ivy's origins.

When Ivy woke up and didn't see him, she assumed he had actually left.

She wasn't sure why.

She was the one demanding the divorce and pushing him away.

Yet, knowing he was gone left a tiny hollow of disappointment in her chest.

Alaric returned around noon.

He walked in carrying a stunningly exquisite bouquet of flowers, along with toys, clothes, and formula for the baby.

He had several massive shopping bags hooked on his arms.

He looked like a high-end delivery boy stepping into the room.

Sitting next to the incubator, Ivy stared at him in utter disbelief.

Alaric set the bags down, walked over with the bouquet, and presented it to her with both hands.

"Do you like them?"

Ivy feigned indifference, tilting her chin up.

"No."

Alaric just ruffled her hair and placed the flowers on the nightstand.

He returned to the incubator, watching the baby as he gave Ivy a rundown of his morning.

"You were sleeping so soundly this morning that I didn't want to wake you. I left early because I wanted to go to the mall and get some things for the baby, but since this town doesn't have a proper mall, I just ended up wandering the streets."

Ivy pouted, staying silent.

Even so, she picked up one of the new toys he had bought and started entertaining the baby in the incubator.

Alaric then asked, "Are you feeling any better today? Are you still in pain down there?"

Back when he had helped her bathe, he had noticed she was still bleeding.

He imagined it had to be incredibly uncomfortable.

It really hit him just how magnificent women were for enduring childbirth.

Even though the baby was tiny, the mere thought of pushing an infant out of a human body was enough to make anyone grasp the excruciating agony of it all.

Ivy's face flushed brilliant red.

She shot him an embarrassed glare. "It's been weeks. Of course it doesn't hurt anymore."

Alaric took a seat nearby. "Good."

"Once your recovery period is over, we'll head back to Capital City."

Ivy's immediate reaction was to refuse. "I'm not going back. You promised I could stay here with the baby."
