Trick Him Into Divorce, Then Flee With His Unknow Kid novel Chapter 218

Chapter 218: Chapter 218 The Blind Date’s Hidden Intentions

Grayson glanced at the dialing screen in Rose’s hand before taking her phone and ending the call.

Rose’s limbs felt as though they had been injected with a paralytic.

She couldn’t summon even the slightest bit of strength.

As a medical student who had been exposed to various drugs since childhood, she immediately understood what was happening.

She had been drugged.

A hand gently patted her shoulder.

“Not feeling well? Let me take you somewhere to rest.”

Rose watched helplessly as her phone was taken away.

She had no strength to resist.

Even her throat seemed numb. She couldn’t speak a single word.

Grayson still wore a pleasant smile as he wrapped an arm around her shoulders and led her away.

James stepped outside after being pulled into several rounds of toasts.

Leaning against the stair railing, he frowned as he thought about what had happened between Rose and Grayson.

Grayson had lived overseas for most of his life. James knew very little about him.

But returning home and immediately going on a blind date with marriage as the goal?

Something about it bothered him.

James made a phone call and asked someone to investigate Grayson’s background.

At the very least, he wanted to know how Grayson had ended up on a blind date with Rose.

It would take some time to receive the results.

Resting an elbow against the railing, he pulled out a cigarette.

Just as he flicked his lighter, something caught his attention.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw two figures emerging from the stairwell.

They were standing extremely close together.

His movements instantly froze.

James straightened and looked over.

Even from behind, the figures looked familiar.

They were Rose and Grayson.

What shocked him even more was that Rose appeared to be leaning against Grayson’s shoulder, allowing him to hold her.

That intimacy—the silent understanding between a man and a woman—made his throat tighten.

An inexplicable surge of anger followed.

This was their first meeting.

Did things really have to progress this quickly?

With a grim expression, he crushed out his cigarette and prepared to walk over.

He intended to pull Rose aside and ask her what she was doing.

However, he had barely taken a step when someone grabbed his arm.

James turned around.

Samantha was holding onto him.

Her expression remained calm.

“Mr. Taylor, I accidentally twisted my ankle. Could you take me to Ryan? I need some ice.”

James frowned instinctively.

He glanced down at her foot.

She was still wearing high heels and appeared somewhat uncomfortable.

He said nothing.

Turning his head, he looked back toward the direction Rose and Grayson had gone.

They had already disappeared.

At that moment, an indescribable feeling rose within him.

It was a mixture of irritation and the sense that something was wrong.

Rose was indeed divorcing Ryan.

She was free to do whatever she wanted.

Perhaps this was simply a mutual decision between two adults.

But what right did he have to interfere?

If Samantha had not stopped him, he might have actually gone over and interrupted their so-called love at first sight.

He searched the area one last time.

There was still no sign of Rose.

James pinched the bridge of his nose.

“Fine. Hold onto me.”

He extended an arm for Samantha to lean on without crossing any boundaries.

Samantha smiled gently.

“Thank you.”

As she turned away, something briefly caught her eye in the direction Rose had disappeared.

*****

James escorted Samantha back.

Meanwhile, Ryan remained seated among the crowd.

His posture appeared relaxed, yet he gave off an unmistakably distant and indifferent aura.

Samantha sat beside him.

Turning to James, she smiled.

“Thank you, Mr. Taylor. I feel much better now. The pain is gone.”

Only then did Ryan glance at her.

“What happened?”
