Trick Him Into Divorce, Then Flee With His Unknow Kid novel Chapter 105

Chapter 105: Chapter 105 The Mother Who Finally Showed Up

She hadn’t expected to see a message like that.

A hotel? A hotel room?

The phone in her hand was still vibrating.

Her palm was beginning to go numb.

It was the kind of persistence that only came from someone who had been indulged for far too long.

"Give me my phone."

A shadow fell across her vision, accompanied by the faint scent of roses and mint.

She looked up.

Her gaze met Ryan’s deep, unreadable eyes.

He looked down at her without revealing a hint of emotion, one hand extended toward her. The gesture was simple, yet it carried an unmistakable authority that was impossible to ignore.

Even though his words were ordinary, Rose had a feeling he had misunderstood something.

Without hesitation, she handed the still-vibrating phone back to him.

She didn’t care about the details of his relationship with Samantha.

She simply didn’t want her grandfather to see any of that ugliness.

Even if she eventually told him about the divorce, she would describe it as a peaceful separation. Being cheated on, abandoned, and humiliated would only break the old man’s heart.

As for whether Ryan believed she’d deliberately picked up his phone to read his private messages...

That didn’t matter either.

She didn’t care.

Ryan didn’t stay long.

He remained long enough to share a cup of coffee with Gabriel before leaving.

Rose also had work to attend to.

When she came out later, the room next door was still empty.

She knew Ryan would handle it.

The Hill family would finally settle down.

Because of the incident involving Samantha and the Columbia University graduate student, the university had issued disciplinary measures. However, the project itself had not been delayed.

The drug review was approaching.

It would be her first major battle.

And her workload had become even heavier.

*****

The next morning, Rose received a phone call shortly after waking up.

"Are you Ariel’s parent?"

Rose immediately tensed. "Is something wrong?"

"No, nothing serious. Today is Parents’ Day at school, and we’d like the children’s parents to attend. Please arrive by ten o’clock this morning."

Rose let out a quiet breath of relief and checked the time.

After a brief pause, she replied, "Okay. I’ll make arrangements and be there."

After hanging up, she messaged Diana to confirm.

There was no response.

Most likely, Diana was still pulling an all-nighter editing footage.

As for Nathan, he was already over eighty. An event like this would be far too exhausting for him.

Holding her phone, Rose thought for a moment before making up her mind.

She would go herself.

After all, she would be picking up the divorce certificate tomorrow. There was no need to remain so guarded.

The truth was, she had largely been absent from Ariel’s upbringing.

Only because of the divorce had Ariel come to New York to live with her, creating an opportunity for them to be together.

She couldn’t keep disappointing the little girl simply to avoid potential complications.

Rose quickly packed her things, requested time off, and headed straight to the kindergarten.

It was one of the city’s most prestigious private schools, attended by the children of influential and wealthy families.

By the time she arrived, many parents were already there.

"Mommy!"

Ariel spotted her immediately.

Her face lit up as she kicked her little legs and ran over.

Rose bent down and scooped her into her arms.

"I thought Grandpa Nate was coming today."

Ariel’s cheeks were flushed with excitement. She practically bounced in place.

Rose pinched her nose playfully.

"Grandpa Nate’s getting older. We shouldn’t make him go through all that trouble."

"Okay." Ariel nodded before asking carefully, "Can Mommy come every time from now on?"

She knew her mother was busy.

Grandpa Nate had often told her that Mommy was working hard so they could live together and never be separated again.

She knew she shouldn’t make things difficult for her.
