Trick Him Into Divorce, Then Flee With His Unknow Kid novel Chapter 215

Chapter 215: Chapter 215 Margaret’s Final Demand

Rose clearly saw the blatant arrogance of someone who knew she was the favored one in Samantha’s demeanor.

Samantha obviously had no intention of giving Rose a chance to respond. She simply walked past her and hurried toward the man waiting patiently outside.

Rose stood there for a long moment.

It wasn’t until Caleb called her that she finally collected herself and headed downstairs.

They had no say in Sky High’s affairs.

Nor could they stop Samantha from becoming one of its shareholders.

When Rose came out, she didn’t see Ryan or Samantha anywhere.

Sometimes, she truly wanted to cut open Ryan’s heart and see why he always managed to strike precisely where it hurt her the most.

Caleb was clearly troubled by the situation as well.

“Should I drive you home first?” he asked.

Rose was lost in thought and was about to answer when her phone rang.

Distracted, she answered without checking the caller ID.

“Rose, when are you coming home?”

Margaret’s voice came through the phone, carrying an ambiguous tone.

Rose snapped back to reality.

She glanced at the number.

It was the landline from the house she shared with Ryan.

Margaret must have been there.

Pressing her lips together, Rose replied, “I just got off work.”

“All right, then come home early. I am waiting for you.”

Margaret’s sudden visit left Rose feeling irritated. The events of the day had already ruined her mood, and now she had to deal with this as well.

In truth, she and Ryan had recently reached a point where returning to the moon lake villa was entirely optional.

Neither of them had taken Margaret’s remarks about having a child seriously.

But now that Margaret had come personally to check on them, Rose knew she had no choice but to go back and deal with it.

After ending the call, Rose parted ways with Caleb.

He still looked worried.

“That old lady isn’t easy to deal with. If anything happens, call me immediately.”

Rose was still young, and Caleb couldn’t help worrying that she might end up at a disadvantage.

She nodded.

When Rose returned to Moon Lake Villa, she discovered that Ryan had come home as well.

He was sitting in the living room, engaged in a tense standoff with the matriarch of the Knight family.

Clearly, Margaret was the only one upset.

Ryan, on the other hand, remained calm. He leaned lazily against the sofa, casually looking at his iPad as though her emotions had nothing to do with him.

Rose cast him a complicated glance. The incident involving Sky High had shaken her deeply.

Their reunion now carried nothing but tension and unresolved emotions.

“Rose, has work really been that busy?”

Margaret spoke the moment she saw her, her tone filled with disapproval.

“If both of you are this busy, how are you supposed to take care of your family and carry out your plans for having children?”

Rose walked over.

“Yeah, work has been busy lately. I’ve been working a lot of overtime.”

That was why she rarely came home.

At least, that was the excuse she gave.

But Margaret suddenly slapped the table.

“This is outrageous!”

“Ryan has to manage such a large company, so it’s understandable. But Rose, you shouldn’t be like this. There’s no need for you to work yourself to exhaustion. What’s wrong with staying home and resting? Your priority should still be the Knight family. Besides, once you become pregnant, you’ll have to take maternity leave anyway. You might as well resign now.”

For some reason, Rose suddenly wanted to laugh.

And she did.

“Grandma, it seems you’ve forgotten that we’re already divorced. Am I supposed to quit my job for him now?”

Why was it always the woman who had to make sacrifices?

Even if her career wasn’t as impressive as Ryan’s, why should she be the one expected to give it up?

Margaret sensed the sharpness in Rose’s tone. She paused briefly before frowning.

“But a promise is a promise. Do I really need to remind you?”

Rose knew she was referring to the revocation of their divorce certificate.

What frustrated her most was that, in a moment of urgency, she and Ryan had used a special channel to process the divorce. Because of that, the information had not yet entered the regular system and would only become official after the grace period expired.

Until then, it could still be revoked.

That was precisely what gave her such a headache.

“I—”

“Are you planning to watch us have sex?”

Ryan, who had not looked up once, suddenly spoke in a detached voice.
