Madam, Your Ex-Husband Is On Call novel Chapter 1

Chapter 1 The Illegitimate Child

"There’s a banquet at the Hilton Hotel. Go there now."

The man's voice was cold and indifferent.

Anastasia Graves was overjoyed when she received a call from her husband, Christian Patterson.

"I am at the hospital..."

Christian hung up before Anastasia could tell him that she had come to the hospital to take a pregnancy examination.

Christian had been on a business trip for more than two months, and this was the first time he had called her on his own initiative.

Although his attitude was as cold as ever, his call was enough to make Anastasia happy.

He should have remembered that it was their third wedding anniversary today. He must have let her go there to surprise her.

At the thought, Anastasia's haggard face turned a little rosy. Delighted, she left the hospital with the examination report.

She also had good news to tell Christian.

They were blessed with two happy events today.

As soon as Anastasia got out of the car, she was surrounded by countless reporters.

They flocked to her, blocking her way.

Anastasia could not conceal her pleasure. It must have been Christian who broke the news of their anniversary, so the reporters waited in particular to send them their best wishes.

With that in mind, she happily waved to the reporter.

"Mrs. Patterson, you and Mr. Patterson have been married for three years, and Mr. Patterson's illegitimate child is two years old. Do you know it?"

"Mrs. Patterson, what do you think of the illegitimate child? Will you agree to take him back and raise him?"

"Are you and Mr. Patterson in a marriage of convenience, where you both pursue your own interests?"

"Is the child yours and Mr. Patterson's? Or is him Mr. Patterson's illegitimate child?"

There had been rumors about Christian’s illegitimate child recently, but Anastasia didn't believe it.

"Christian is very busy. We don't have children yet, and he doesn't have any illegitimate children. It's all rumors. We love each other very much. I believe in my husband."

After three years of marriage, she had become adept at handling such unexpected situations skillfully and decisively.

At that moment, Christian stood nearby, his presence commanding attention with his tall and muscular frame. His striking features enhanced his overall appearance, giving him an air of coolness. His eyes and eyebrows added a hint of mysterious aloofness.

He exchanged pleasantries with the person opposite him. And when he looked up, he saw Anastasia walking over.

Instantly, his smile faded, and his stern face was as indifferent as usual.

The next second, Anastasia's smile faltered a little, her expression froze for an instant, and her step was heavy.

She saw a cute little boy in his arms.

The child appeared to be around two years old and bore a striking resemblance to Christian.

Christian looked down at the child with pleasure, noble and gentle.

The woman beside Christian took over the child gently. They behaved like a couple who had been married for many years.

The woman was Beatrice Cohen.

She was back.

The child's eyebrows and eyes were similar to those of Beatrice and Christian. Anastasia didn't even believe that the child would have nothing to do with Christian.

Clenching her fists tightly, Anastasia tried hard to calm herself down.

Three years earlier, Beatrice had broken up with Christian after accepting a sum of money from his mother, Lamia Patterson. After that, she had gone abroad.

Christian was heartbroken by his girlfriend's betrayal. Probably out of revenge on his mother, Christian dated plenty of women from then on.

At that time, Anastasia had long been in love with Christian. She had been kidnapped abroad, and it was Christian who passed by and rescued her. Since then, she believed in love at first sight.

After returning to her home country, Anastasia deliberately went to work at Patterson Group in order to get close to Christian.

But he had forgotten who she was at that time.

Therefore, Anastasia could boost her career to attract his attention.
