Trick Him Into Divorce, Then Flee With His Unknow Kid novel Chapter 136

Chapter 136: Chapter 136 Your Girlfriend Is Getting Jealous

Even though Rose hadn’t been directly involved in any of it, she still felt a jolt of alarm at that moment.

Trevor’s question had been far too direct.

It struck right at the heart of the matter.

Anyone listening might have assumed he knew exactly what kind of relationship she and Ryan had once shared.

Yet Trevor showed no sign of discomfort.

Instead, he smiled politely. "I’ve ruined your plans, Mr. Knight."

His tone remained calm. "It seemed Miss Hill was about to propose just now. But if you hadn’t made up your mind yet, perhaps I’ve simply given you an easy way out."

Rose glanced at Ryan.

Trevor wasn’t wrong.

If Trevor hadn’t interrupted, would Ryan have accepted Samantha’s proposal?

With so many people watching, Ryan probably wouldn’t have wanted to embarrass Samantha publicly, even if her proposal had been disguised as a joke.

Perhaps sensing the mockery in Rose’s gaze, Ryan looked directly at her.

"Mr. Robinson is joking."

A faint smile tugged at his lips. "Mr. Robinson doesn’t strike me as someone who acts on impulse."

Ryan’s words sounded harmless enough.

But Rose could easily read between the lines.

Was he warning Trevor to be careful?

She no longer cared to find out just how indifferent Ryan was toward her.

Turning to Trevor, she said, "Let’s go."

Trevor nodded.

Rose had no intention of continuing the conversation.

Nor did she feel any need to explain herself or distance herself from Trevor in front of Ryan.

Caleb and the others were still waiting near the parking area.

The evening air was damp.

As Rose stepped down the stairs, her foot suddenly slipped.

Her body lurched forward.

"Careful."

Two voices sounded almost simultaneously.

A large, warm hand caught her arm.

Rose turned her head.

Ryan’s brows were slightly furrowed.

His grip was steady.

"Watch your step," he said calmly. "It’s slippery."

Trevor’s hand had already reached out as well.

His fingertips brushed Rose’s sleeve.

But Ryan had been faster.

For a brief moment, the atmosphere became noticeably tense.

Then a voice called out from behind them.

"Ryan?"

Rose turned.

Samantha had appeared at some point.

Although she was smiling, the displeasure in her eyes was impossible to miss.

She stared at Rose as though she were some shameless seductress trying to steal her boyfriend.

Trevor’s gaze shifted to Ryan’s hand still resting on Rose’s arm.

Then he smiled. "Mr. Knight, I think you should let go."

His tone remained courteous. "Your girlfriend looks like she’s getting jealous."

Rose immediately pulled away first.

Samantha had already stepped forward and naturally linked her arm through Ryan’s.

Her eyes flickered toward Trevor, filled with surprise and uncertainty.

Still, she chose not to ask why Trevor had proposed to someone like Rose.

Instead, she smiled politely. "Mr. Robinson, we’ll be heading out now."

Rose could practically see through Samantha’s territorial display.

Ryan didn’t seem bothered that Rose had pushed his hand away.

Nor did he show any interest in questioning the nature of her relationship with Trevor.

After a brief nod, he turned and walked away.

Just like a stranger.

As though the two of them had truly become nothing more than distant acquaintances.

Rose and Trevor headed toward the car waiting to take them back.
