Trick Him Into Divorce, Then Flee With His Unknow Kid novel Chapter 216

Chapter 216: Chapter 216 The Man Margaret Chose

Rose felt a roar in her ears.

She struggled to contain her excitement, her fingers clenching tightly around the phone.

“Really?”

God knew how long she had been waiting for this moment.

She thought Ryan’s confrontation with Margaret yesterday must have had some effect.

It must have made Margaret realize how determined she was.

Perhaps she had finally understood that forcing things on her was not the answer.

For the first time in a long while, Rose felt a trace of gratitude toward Ryan for his reckless actions. At the very least, they had given her a glimmer of hope.

Margaret spoke in her usual calm tone.

“However, there is one condition.”

“Go ahead.”

“You told me before that you had fallen in love with another man. I’ve given it some thought. If you truly love someone, I won’t stand in your way. Bring that young man here and let me meet him. If he is truly a good man, I’ll give my blessing to the two of you.”

The smile on Rose’s lips slowly faded.

She had never expected Margaret to make such a request.

At the time, she had simply made the story up.

Where was she supposed to find someone to play along?

Trevor?

That was clearly impossible.

Trevor’s status was far too sensitive.

If he became involved, it would only create more problems. After all, the two families had always been secretly at odds.

The rivalry between the Knight and Robinson families was no mere rumor.

Rose fell silent.

Margaret immediately became displeased.

“So you really were lying to me. Why would you do that, child?”

Rose suddenly found herself speechless.

She remained silent for only a couple of seconds.

As the matriarch of the Knight family, Margaret was exceptionally perceptive.

Rose wanted to say something—anything—to save her divorce certificate.

But before she could speak, Margaret continued.

“Since you don’t have anyone like that, I’ll introduce someone to you. He’s the grandson of an old friend of mine, only a few years older than you. He’s upright, gentle, and a rare young talent. He has also reached marriageable age. Go meet him and get to know him. If you hit it off, we can discuss the wedding.”

Rose frowned.

She sensed Margaret’s underlying attitude.

Either she remained tied to Ryan, or she was pushed toward someone else.

But a blind date?

It was simply absurd.

And it was being arranged by her ex-husband’s grandmother.

“If you agree, I’ll return the divorce certificate to you afterward.”

Margaret dangled a temptation Rose could not refuse.

Rose tightened her grip on the phone and took a deep breath.

“All right. I’ll go.”

To get the certificate back, there was nothing she wouldn’t do.

It was only a blind date.

She was already divorced.

What harm could it do?

Besides, only with the divorce certificate could she secure legal custody of Ariel.

She had waited too long for Ryan to give it to her.

She didn’t want to wait any longer.

After ending the call, Margaret had someone deliver an invitation to a luxury jewelry brand’s gala dinner.

The man she was being introduced to was the host of the event.

At the same time, she received a phone call.

“Miss Bennett?”

The man’s voice was warm and gentle.

“My name is Grayson Cooper. I’m the person you’ll be meeting tonight. Did you receive the invitation? When you arrive, please give me a call beforehand, and I’ll come pick you up.”

Rose could sense his politeness and thoughtfulness.

Although she felt somewhat guilty for attending with ulterior motives, she figured she could explain everything honestly later.

“Okay.”

“Then I look forward to meeting you.”

“Okay.”

Rose was not someone who opened up easily.

Very few people could make her lower her guard and reveal her true self.

As a result, she could only remain polite and reserved.

The other man did not seem to mind her distant attitude.

He simply smiled and ended the call with impeccable tact.

Rose let out a sigh of relief.

She looked at the invitation.

Margaret had arranged this blind date, and she wasn’t sure whether Ryan knew about it.
