Trick Him Into Divorce, Then Flee With His Unknow Kid novel Chapter 152

Chapter 152: Chapter 152 Ryan Is At Hospital

That was the confidence of someone who knew she had support.

In comparison, Rose’s earlier confrontation suddenly made her look like a clown.

After all, Samantha had someone backing her up.

Rose’s eyes filled with sarcasm.

Slowly, she turned her gaze toward Ryan.

As if sensing it, he looked back at her.

Only then did Rose finally understand.

Earlier, when Ryan had seemingly risked himself to save her, it hadn’t been because he cared.

It had been instinct.

A man’s instinct to protect someone in danger.

Not special treatment.

Not concern.

Not love.

Even strangers might rush to save someone in a crisis, let alone two people who had once been married for seven years.

But what Ryan was doing now was different.

Stepping forward to smooth things over for Samantha.

Taking responsibility on behalf of Samantha’s brother.

Shielding her from criticism.

Those actions weren’t instinctive.

They were deliberate.

Intentional.

A conscious act of favoritism.

And in doing so, he gave Samantha even more confidence.

For a moment, Rose didn’t know what to say.

Anything she said now would only make her seem like she was desperately trying to save face.

"It is only natural for Mr. Knight to take responsibility for Ms. Hill’s brother’s mistake."

Trevor walked over slowly, Ariel holding his hand.

As he approached, he unbuttoned his suit jacket, removed it, and draped it over Rose’s shoulders.

Only then did Rose realize she was shivering.

Her clothes were soaked with wine.

She nodded. "Thank you."

Trevor continued calmly, "Making amends is simply the responsible thing to do. I don’t think Ms. Hill would mistake cleaning up a mess for some grand romantic gesture."

The smile that had just appeared on Samantha’s face instantly froze.

Something about Trevor’s words stung.

She couldn’t shake the feeling that he was implying something.

But if she denied it, she would only seem petty.

And Trevor’s expression remained perfectly calm.

There wasn’t a trace of mockery on his face.

Ryan’s gaze briefly softened as it landed on Ariel standing beside Trevor.

But he said nothing.

With Ryan’s promise that Kingswell would cover the venue’s future promotional expenses, the owner couldn’t have been happier.

He immediately stepped forward.

"We have private changing rooms available."

Smiling, he added, "Mr. Knight, Ms. Hill, please go get changed. While you’re there, we can have a doctor examine Mr. Knight’s injuries and determine whether they’re serious."

Hearing that they would be assigned the same changing room, Samantha’s lips curved upward.

Rose heard it too.

The intimacy between them was so openly acknowledged that no one even questioned it anymore.

Trevor didn’t spare Samantha another glance.

Instead, he looked at Ryan. "Mr. Knight, please go ahead."

Ryan rose to his feet.

For a brief moment, Rose thought she saw him sway slightly.

The crease between his brows deepened almost imperceptibly.

Just then, a small voice sounded from the corner.

"It’s all because Ariel is so selfish..."

Mike finally spoke.

Ariel immediately turned to look at him.

Her small face was expressionless.

"When are you ever going to learn some manners?"

Mike’s temper exploded instantly.

Like a lit firecracker, he stormed forward and reached out to shove Ariel.

Rose nearly stepped forward herself.

But someone moved first.

A hand shot out and grabbed Mike by the collar.

Rose looked up.

Ryan had walked over.

His expression was cold and unreadable.

"Go change your clothes with your sister."

Mike instantly froze.

Seeing Ryan’s expression, a chill ran down his spine.

He didn’t dare argue.

Immediately, he ran over and grabbed Samantha’s hand.

Samantha hadn’t expected Ryan to reprimand Mike because of someone else’s child.

Her expression darkened briefly.

But she quickly understood.

After all, openly showing favoritism in public wouldn’t be appropriate.

Even Rose was somewhat surprised.

Trevor had already picked Ariel up in his arms.

Meeting Ryan’s gaze directly, he said, "Thank you, Mr. Knight, for looking out for my daughter."

The words my daughter sounded perfectly natural.

Yet the moment they were spoken, something subtle seemed to shift.

Ryan looked at Trevor.

Trevor looked back.
