Buying My Forever Wife novel Chapter 253

Ivy couldn't be bothered to deal with Hazel right now.

After finishing her shift, she went to pick up Stella right on time.

She brought her back to their new house and sat down to do some arts and crafts with her.

Mrs. Gable was busy in the kitchen.

Hearing a noise at the front door, Ivy turned her head and was entirely surprised to see Mr. Foster walking in.

She was caught off guard.

Hadn't this man been blackmailed by Dr. Elena Sinclair? Why wasn't he staying at The Starlight Estate with her?

How was he still coming home right on time after work?

Pleasantly surprised, Ivy instantly played the part of the perfect, attentive wife. She hurried over to take his coat and fetch his slippers.

She was as enthusiastic as a devoted homemaker.

Alaric stared at her as he changed his shoes.

Thinking back to her drunken antics from the night before, a hint of exasperation flared in his chest. He tossed his coat to her and walked past to join his daughter.

Ivy hung up the coat and followed him, sitting down quietly beside him. Blinking her eyes awkwardly, she asked,

"I didn't cause you too much trouble last night, did I?"

She vaguely recalled fragments of the evening, though the memories were disjointed. She was genuinely terrified she had angered him.

She quickly added in a compliant tone,

"If I did anything out of line, I sincerely apologize. I'm so sorry. I accidentally had a bit too much to drink yesterday and lost control."

Alaric had fully intended to lecture her.

But seeing her apologize with such genuine remorse, he decided to let it slide.

After all, she was only a girl in her early twenties; it was completely normal for her to lack limits.

In the end, Alaric simply dropped a brief command, "No more drinking from now on."

Ivy immediately sat up straight, raising her hand like a child taking an oath.

"I swear, I will never touch alcohol again."

Satisfied, Alaric dropped the subject.

Seeing his daughter playing with her crafts, he leaned in to help her out.

Ivy cautiously probed further.

"Um... since you came here, how are you going to get the antidote from Elena?"

Elena's ultimate goal was this man.

If he refused to return to The Starlight Estate, wouldn't she lose her mind with rage?

Ivy was incredibly curious about how he planned to handle that toxic woman.
