Buying My Forever Wife novel Chapter 598

Every single outfit he had bought for the baby cost hundreds of dollars.

Even the cheapest toy was upwards of a hundred bucks.

And a decent hotel room for the night wasn't even that much in comparison.

She knew exactly what game he was playing and rejected him anyway.

"That's my brother's room, and he hates it when people touch his things."

"I'll take the sofa."

Alaric wasn't keen on messing with other people's stuff anyway. He took the baby from Ivy's arms and sat down on the sofa.

To preempt any further attempts to throw him out, he added,

"Ivy, the very first time we met, you demanded that I marry you. We've been married for so long now, and this is my first time visiting your home. You really don't need to kick me out."

Imposing that she was being ungrateful.

If she kept pushing him away, he wouldn't lift a finger to help her in the future.

A flush of guilt hit Ivy, and she didn't have the heart to kick him out after that.

"Just sit there," she muttered. "I'll change my clothes and get some food ready."

Alaric knew she was still in her recovery phase and physically weak.

If he, a grown man, sat back and let a nursing, recovering woman cook and wait on him, what kind of man would he be?

He placed the baby in her bassinet and stood up to follow Ivy.

"No need. You stay with the baby. I'll handle the cooking."

Ivy eyed him dubiously. "You know how to cook?"

Alaric paused for a few seconds before answering honestly.

"No, but I can figure it out. It's not exactly rocket science."

Ivy gave him a dry look. "By the time you 'figure it out,' I'll have passed out from starvation. Just watch the baby. I'll whip something up quickly."

With that, she went into her bedroom to change.

Left without a solid argument, Alaric decided to investigate the kitchen anyway.

But barely a minute later, the baby started crying in the living room.

Panicking, he dropped what he was doing and sprinted back, scooping the baby up to soothe her.

"What's wrong, sweet Sienna? Were you scared all by yourself? Daddy won't leave you anymore, okay?"
