Trick Him Into Divorce, Then Flee With His Unknow Kid novel Chapter 220

Chapter 220: Chapter 220 A Husband’s Protection

Because of the lingering effects of the drug, Rose’s mind was still sluggish.

She simply stared at the man before her.

His gaze was deep and intense, enough to send a chill down her spine, yet his voice remained unexpectedly gentle.

Ryan didn’t wait for her response.

He wrapped an arm around her waist, lifted her effortlessly into his arms, and casually picked up the high heel that had fallen beside her.

Holding her against him, he carried her to the sofa behind them and sat down.

He positioned her sideways on his lap and used his suit jacket to cover her upper body and part of her face, leaving only the back of her head visible.

Rose had no strength left to resist.

She could only allow Ryan to take control.

He leaned down slightly and slipped the high heel back onto her foot.

The entire process was smooth and natural.

For a brief moment, Rose caught sight of the blood smeared across the back of Ryan’s hand.

The sight sent a chill through her.

“Rose.”

The noise outside was growing closer.

Ryan gently adjusted the jacket around her shoulders and neck, wrapping her more securely inside it.

His eyes were dark and unreadable.

“Why don’t you close your eyes for a while?”

Rose knew the reporters had arrived.

It would be a lie to say she wasn’t afraid.

If what had happened tonight became public, her reputation would be destroyed.

Her hand, which had unconsciously been pressed against Ryan’s chest in self-defense, stiffened.

Finally, she gathered herself and closed her eyes.

She refused to look.

Ryan cupped her cheek.

After Samantha went upstairs, she didn’t approach the room.

Instead, she stood in the hallway and watched the reporters rush forward with their cameras.

Rose had gone upstairs with Grayson.

Samantha knew exactly what kind of man Grayson was.

After spending years overseas, she knew his reputation well.

Rose would likely not escape unscathed.

Especially with so many reporters present.

If even a single photograph was taken, Rose would become the center of attention in high society.

The Knight family would never tolerate a daughter-in-law whose reputation had been ruined.

She watched from a distance.

Soon, most of the reporters had gathered outside the room.

But then something unexpected happened.

The camera flashes suddenly stopped.

The reporters appeared stunned.

Something had clearly changed.

Samantha couldn’t see what was happening.

But Grayson never came out.

And when she had arrived earlier, she hadn’t seen him outside either.

He had to be inside the room.

Meanwhile, the reporters stood frozen.

On the sofa, Ryan sat with one arm around the woman’s waist.

His suit jacket covered her almost completely as he gently adjusted her position against him.

His hand rested lightly against her waist, patting her softly.

It was a soothing, almost protective gesture.

With his other hand, he cupped her cheek.

His palm completely covered her face.

He lowered his head and kissed her.

There was nothing passionate about it.

It appeared warm.

Natural.

Like an ordinary interaction between husband and wife.

Camera flashes filled the room.

But this was not the explosive scandal the reporters had expected.

Instead—

Ryan held Rose against his shoulder.

His gaze calmly swept over the doorway.

“Is a date between husband and wife really worth making headlines?”

With one sentence, he settled everything.

The reporters suddenly understood.

Everyone present was an industry veteran.

Within business circles, Ryan Knight represented the highest level of status and influence.

No one failed to recognize him.

At the mention of “husband and wife,” countless eyes turned toward the woman who had kept her face hidden.

So this was Mrs. Knight.

The mysterious Mrs. Knight who had always remained hidden from the public.

“Sorry, Mr. Knight. We didn’t mean to disturb you.”

One reporter quickly stepped back.

No one wanted to offend Ryan.

The others immediately followed.

Some even moved to close the damaged door, despite the obvious dents and destruction.

At that moment, however, no one questioned how the door had ended up in that condition.

The reporters came quickly.

And they left just as quickly.
