Trick Him Into Divorce, Then Flee With His Unknow Kid novel Chapter 233

Chapter 233: Chapter 233 The Misunderstanding Between Them

Just one sentence.

It sent a chill through Rose’s entire body.

The blood in her limbs seemed to surge upward, sending a sharp pain crashing through her head. Her breathing stopped for a moment, as if all the oxygen had been sucked from her lungs.

Almost numb with shock, she met his gaze.

His eyes were sharp enough to cut through her and expose every secret hidden in her soul.

“...What?”

The word barely escaped her throat.

Ryan missed none of the changes in her expression.

He took a step forward, his long legs closing the distance between them.

“Where is the child you gave birth to a few years ago?”

Rose’s pupils contracted violently.

Ryan knew.

He knew everything.

The realization shattered her thoughts almost instantly.

It had happened too suddenly.

She had only just finalized the divorce and had not yet had time to transfer Ariel’s legal custody to Trevor. The truth being exposed now was enough to make her entire world collapse.

As though he could see through her thoughts, Ryan held up the phone.

His eyes carried emotions too complicated to decipher.

“Your phone. It contains photos from your pregnancy, including the records of your postpartum hemorrhage and critical condition.”

His voice was almost devoid of warmth.

Every word carried a chilling sharpness.

Rose suddenly understood.

There was no escaping now.

The phone she had lost few time ago had, through countless twists of fate, ended up in Ryan’s hands.

What she had feared for so long had finally happened.

She looked directly into his eyes.

“So how do you want me to explain it?”

He stared at her. “Why did you keep it from me?”

Rose suddenly laughed. “Why should I have told you? Weren’t we living in different countries for those years?”

For the first two years of their marriage, they had lived apart.

Separated by entire oceans.

Besides, Ryan had never wanted children with her.

Why would she tell him?

Ryan remained silent for a long time.

The sharp pain in Rose’s eyes stung him.

Finally, he asked quietly, “Whose?”

His voice was not loud.

In fact, it was almost calm.

But those two simple words completely extinguished the last trace of warmth in Rose’s eyes.

It only took a few seconds for her to understand what he meant.

And why he had asked.

It felt as though burning acid had been poured down her throat, scorching her lungs. Every breath became painful.

In that moment, overwhelmed by anger, heartbreak, and bitterness, she unexpectedly smiled.

What an absurd misunderstanding.

Living abroad alone.

Becoming pregnant.

Giving birth.

It truly looked like the perfect betrayal.

She understood why Ryan thought this way.

Even if she had been an outsider, she would have suspected the same thing.

The only time they had not used protection had been the night before he left for his overseas assignment.

But Ryan had been drunk.

What could he possibly remember?

Moreover, he never knew that seven years ago, Chairman Knight had secretly forced her to sign a seven-year divorce agreement.

Their marriage had been doomed from the beginning.

It had never been meant to last.

Ryan had no reason to believe she would willingly conceive his child and hide it.

Therefore, the only conclusion he could reach was betrayal.

It was a vicious cycle.

But Rose saw nothing wrong with it.

Perhaps this was for the best.

If Ryan believed the child belonged to another man, he would never obsess over finding the child.

Instead, it would become a source of humiliation—something he would never want to acknowledge.

She lifted her chin.

Her eyes were red, but she offered no explanation.

“Do I need to remind you, Mr. Knight? We’re divorced. We already have the divorce certificate. Do I really owe you an explanation?”

Ryan’s thin lips tightened slightly.
