Trick Him Into Divorce, Then Flee With His Unknow Kid novel Chapter 109

Chapter 109: Chapter 109 Margaret’s Three-Month Ultimatum

For a split second, Rose thought she had misheard.

Revoke it?

She had never imagined that the special divorce channel Ryan had arranged could actually be reversed.

Under no circumstances could she accept that.

This wasn’t just about her.

It was gambling with Ariel’s future.

It struck directly at her most vulnerable weakness.

The kindness Margaret had once shown her now felt like nothing more than a fleeting illusion.

Meeting Margaret’s gaze, Rose felt a chill run down her spine.

"On what grounds?" she asked. "Isn’t marriage supposed to be a matter of personal choice?"

Margaret frowned, clearly displeased by Rose’s newfound resistance.

"With me supporting you, what exactly do you have to complain about?"

The words lodged in Rose’s throat.

For a moment, it almost sounded as though she were the ungrateful one.

"If you had gone through the normal process, the divorce certificate couldn’t have been revoked," Margaret continued. "Isn’t this your opportunity now?"

Her expression softened slightly. "The last time we discussed this, my only condition was that you have a child before divorcing. Out of trust and consideration, I didn’t force you into anything."

Her eyes sharpened. "And this is how you repay me?"

Rose remained silent.

Only now did she fully understand.

All of Margaret’s kindness had been conditional.

As long as Rose followed her wishes, Margaret could play the role of the loving grandmother.

But the moment Rose stepped outside those boundaries...

The mask came off.

"You never cared about me that much," Rose said quietly.

Her expression was calm, but her eyes were clear. "If Samantha being Ryan’s former sister-in-law isn’t the real reason you’re refusing this divorce, then what is?"

She had finally stopped pretending not to see it.

There had to be another reason.

Otherwise, why would Margaret be so determined?

There were countless women who could give Ryan children.

Why insist on her?

The more Rose thought about it, the more convinced she became that Margaret was hiding something.

Margaret’s frown deepened. "The Knight family has too few heirs."

Her tone was matter-of-fact. "Having a child for the family would simply be your way of repaying everything the Knights have done for you. What is there to feel wronged about?"

For a moment, Rose was so angry she nearly laughed.

Her eyes filled with bitterness.

This was the true coldness of a powerful family.

No one ever walked away without paying a price.

But sharing a bed with Ryan again?

Living together while their hearts remained miles apart?

Forcing herself to conceive a child with a man who loved another woman?

She could never do it.

Her dignity wouldn’t allow it.

Taking a deep breath, Rose spoke slowly, emphasizing every word.

"Even if you force me, is this a decision I can make alone?"

Her fingers tightened at her sides.

"You know better than anyone where Ryan’s heart belongs."

Forcing herself to swallow her discomfort, she pushed the responsibility onto Ryan.

Margaret smiled faintly. "That’s not something you need to worry about."

As she spoke, she gently smoothed Rose’s hair.

"Rose, Grandma isn’t unreasonable."

Her voice softened. "I’ll give you time to think about it."

Then her tone hardened. "But don’t keep me waiting too long."

She paused. "Within three months, there must be a good news."

The meaning couldn’t have been clearer.

"If I don’t see results within three months, the divorce will be revoked."

Margaret’s smile remained gentle. "Besides, if necessary, I wouldn’t mind having a conversation with your grandfather."

Her gaze lingered on Rose. "Old people understand each other."

Rose’s hands clenched into fists.

Margaret leaned back against the pillows. "I’ll hold onto the divorce certificate for now."

Her tone was casual, as though discussing something insignificant.

"You know the special channel you used. In principle, duplicate certificates cannot be issued."

She smiled faintly. "So don’t waste your energy trying."

"When you’ve completed your task, I’ll return it to you."

Then she added: "Don’t worry. I won’t revoke the divorce behind your backs during these three months."

Her eyes narrowed slightly. "You should move back into Moon lake Villa as soon as possible."

Rose’s heartbeat immediately quickened.

Margaret continued calmly. "Don’t think I don’t know you’ve already moved out."

Her voice remained gentle, but the warning beneath it was unmistakable.

"If the wrong people find out, they’ll start making all kinds of assumptions."

She folded her hands neatly. "Living together is the best way to repair a marriage."

Then she smiled. "Don’t upset Grandma."

Cold sweat instantly broke out across Rose’s back.

At the same time, relief flooded through her.

Thankfully, she had never moved Ariel into her new apartment.

If she had...

Margaret would have discovered everything.

How could Rose not understand now?

Threats.

Promises.

Pressure.
