Buying My Forever Wife novel Chapter 599

Just as Ivy finished cooking dinner, Toby got back from school.

The moment he walked in, he saw his sister setting the plates on the dining table, while his brother-in-law was in the living room, happily entertaining the baby.

It was a surprisingly warm, picture-perfect domestic scene.

But Toby also knew it wouldn't last.

Once Alaric took Ivy back to Capital City, there was no way he was going to let her leave again.

Soon, Toby would be the only one left in this apartment.

He dropped his backpack and went over to help his sister.

Ivy nudged him away. "Go wash your hands. We're eating in a minute."

Toby obliged and headed to the bathroom.

Ivy then called out to Alaric in the living room,

"Put her in the bassinet and come eat."

Alaric gave a hum of acknowledgment and tried to gently lower his daughter into her bed.

But no dice.

The second little Sienna's back touched the mattress, her face scrunched up and she started howling.

Alaric instantly scooped her back up, and the crying ceased immediately.

He let out a helpless chuckle, adoringly nuzzling his face against her soft cheek.

"You little rascal. Did you actually listen to what I told you earlier?"

"You have to give Daddy at least a few minutes to eat, right?"

He made another attempt to put her down.

Failed again.

Little Sienna started crying on cue.

Defeated, Alaric held her close and looked over at Ivy.

"You eat first. I'll eat after I get her to sleep."

With practiced ease, he used one hand to prepare half a bottle of formula.

As he offered it to the baby, he murmured gently,

"Drink up, sweet Sienna. And once you're full, you need to go to sleep like a good girl so Daddy can take a break, okay?"

The second little Sienna latched onto the bottle, her big eyes sparkled as she happily gulped down the milk.

Ivy walked over, reaching out to take the baby.
