Buying My Forever Wife novel Chapter 151

Ivy listened to Alaric's cold words, a sharp pang striking her heart.

Her affairs had nothing to do with him?

Then why did he always stand up for her?

He hadn't even reprimanded her over the incident with Ethan, nor did he act like the rest of the Foster family, who genuinely believed it was her fault and wanted to drive her away.

He just had a sharp tongue but a soft heart!

Ivy knew very well that her husband had helped her out a lot.

Even though his harsh words stung, she knew deep down that Alaric was a good man.

Ignoring his coldness, she climbed into bed properly and lay down beside him without a word.

Alaric glanced at her.

Seeing her settle in for the night, a sudden wave of guilt washed over him.

Had he been too harsh?

Then again, he had only spoken the truth.

She was the one being unfaithful, lying, and speaking absolute nonsense.

Could she really blame him for giving her attitude?

Not wanting to bother with it anymore, Alaric lay down and flicked off the light.

Ivy was used to curling up in her sleep.

However, the moment she curled into a ball, he assumed she was suffering from cramps again, and feeling a pang of sympathy, he hesitantly extended his arm.

"If you're uncomfortable, you can scoot closer to me."

Ivy opened her eyes, feeling a sudden flutter in her chest.

Did Alaric mean he wanted to hold her while they slept, just like last night?

The thought of sleeping in his arms felt so incredibly safe and grounding—no nightmares, just a deep sleep until dawn.

Without even a split second of hesitation, Ivy rolled over and snuggled straight into his embrace.

Alaric was speechless.

The girl's sudden boldness caught him completely off guard, and his entire body went rigid.

He had only meant to offer his arm as a pillow.

Yet here she was, diving right into his chest and wrapping her arms around him.

He held his breath, the tips of his ears burning as a fiery heat rushed through his veins.

To make matters worse, she smelled absolutely intoxicating.

He felt almost addicted, entirely unwilling to push her away.

So, he endured the agonizing tension in his rigid muscles, allowing her to hold onto him.
