Goodbye You Never Loved Me novel (Martha and Stefan) novel Chapter 1078

Chapter 1078 Divorce (2)

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, interrupting Elliot's words.

The next second, Leah's pitiful voice came from outside the door. "Mommy, I'm scared."

Rose blinked slowly and reacted quickly. She stood up and calmly pushed the man in front of her away as she walked towards the door.

As soon as she opened the door, she saw Leah looking up at her. "Mommy, I'm scared. That old man was too scary just now."

Rose gently touched Leah's messy hair and whispered comfortingly, "Don't be afraid. It's okay."

She took Leah away from the doorway without saying another word to Elliot.

Elliot stayed where he was and watched as Rose and Leah left his sight before sighing helplessly.

He had decided to tell Rose the truth about everything but didn't expect that Leah to suddenly show up.

He could only wait for another opportunity.

In Leah's room, the little one nervously held onto her mommy's hand and didn't dare let go.

Rose picked her daughter up onto the bed and helped her take off her coat while gently coaxing her."Leah is so brave, right?"

"That old man didn't bully you, so you don't have to be afraid," she continued reassuringly.

Leah pursed her lips hesitantly before timidly asking, "But he looked really scary like he wanted to eat me or something."

"He won't do that because our little Leah is too cute! How could Great-grandpa bear to eat you?" Rose laughed softly as she patted Leah on the shoulder every now and then while helping her lie down on bed.

Leah clutched tightly onto her quilt with nervousness but also curiosity in eyes staring at her mommy.

"Mommy... is that old man really Great-grandpa?"

After a brief silence, Rose replied softly, "Mmm..."

Although she planned on divorcing Elliot, their child was his child anyway. Therefore old Mr. Harper naturally was Great-grandfather of her three children.

This fact couldn't be denied no matter what happened between them.

Upon hearing this answer from her mommy; confusion filled the little girl's voice. "But why is he so mean to Daddy? He doesn't seem nice at all!"

Hearing this question made Rose's eyes darken slightly as thoughts drifted away unconsciously...

Old Mr. Harper created Harper Group, making it world-renowned.

At the age of 30 or 40, he wanted to hand over the entire Harper Group to his son. But his only son died young due to indulging in pleasure in his early years and ruining his health. Fortunately, before the old Mr. Harper's son passed away, he left behind two sons: Elliot and Jeremy Harper.

After his son's death, the old Mr. Harper devoted all of his energy to Jeremy's upbringing. However, fate is unpredictable and Jeremy also died in an accident. As a result, Elliot was now the only descendant of the old Mr. Harper.

In theory, since Elliot's brother had passed away many years ago and for the sake of preserving their business empire, all of the old Mr. Harper's attention should have been focused on Elliot alone.

However, for some reason Rose couldn't see any affection from him towards Elliot; instead it seemed like he was wary and even repulsed by him.

"Mommy?" Leah's voice interrupted Rose's thoughts with confusion.

Rose snapped back into reality and gently patted her little girl's head saying "Okay, darling, it's getting late, let's go sleep."

She then began telling bedtime stories softly as she put Leah to bed that night.
