Trick Him Into Divorce, Then Flee With His Unknow Kid novel Chapter 234

Chapter 234: Chapter 234 Ryan Knows I had a child

How could Rose fail to understand the meaning behind his words?

It was complete disregard.

Ryan had laid bare the true nature of his coldness and indifference without the slightest restraint.

She wanted to tell him that he really didn’t need to go this far. She had long since stopped expecting anything from him. No matter how cruel his words were, they were nothing more than a passing breeze against her face. They no longer had the power to stir her heart.

Ryan said nothing more.

Rose’s silence, along with her seemingly provocative words, appeared to draw a final line between them.

There was no point in continuing the argument.

He walked past her and left without looking back.

He no longer asked who the father was, nor did he press her about where the child had been hidden.

Once again, they parted on bad terms.

Listening to his footsteps fade into the distance, Rose felt as though all the strength had drained from her body.

She gasped for air.

Leaning against the stone table beside her, she pressed a hand to her throbbing head.

Everything that had happened today had been completely unexpected. Being caught off guard always required twice the emotional and mental effort to recover.

She replayed every moment in her mind, making sure she hadn’t revealed any clues that might later lead Ryan to discover the truth.

To keep Ariel by her side, she had gone to great lengths to make the idea of marital infidelity seem unquestionable.

After all, Ryan had been the one to suggest it first.

Why should she explain anything?

At that moment, her phone rang.

Rose answered with a grim expression.

Diana’s voice came through the speaker.

“I picked Ariel up, and we’re hanging out together. It’s pretty lively here today. Where are you? I’m coming to find you.”

Rose’s heart, which had only just begun to settle, leaped into her throat again.

“Where are you?” she asked immediately.

Diana sensed something was wrong. “We just arrived at the banquet hall. We were planning to take Ariel out for some desserts. What’s wrong?”

Rose glanced back toward the direction Ryan had left.

He was most likely heading back to the banquet hall.

Even though their conversation had ended badly, she couldn’t guarantee that Ryan, with his sharp instincts and keen intelligence, wouldn’t notice something if he saw Ariel at such a sensitive moment.

She simply couldn’t take that risk.

Although Ariel’s features had not fully matured and the resemblance to Ryan had yet to become obvious, there was still an undeniable pull that came from blood.

Rose hurried forward. “Don’t bring Ariel out yet. Don’t let her run into Ryan.”

Diana immediately grew tense. “What happened?”

Rose said as she ran, “He knows I had a child.”

Diana fell silent.

Rose ended the call.

She ran as fast as she could after Ryan.

Finally, she spotted him near the entrance to the banquet hall.

Afraid that Diana hadn’t moved Ariel yet, Rose hurried after him. Just as Ryan was about to enter, she suddenly grabbed his hand.

She stopped him.

Her fingers were warm against his skin.

Ryan’s cold gaze slowly lowered.

A few seconds later, he turned to look at the breathless woman standing behind him.

He didn’t pull his hand away.

He simply looked at her coldly, waiting for her to speak.

Rose’s heart was pounding, but she forced herself to remain calm.

“I don’t think we’ve finished discussing this. Could we talk somewhere private?”

If Ryan ran into Ariel now, it would be disastrous.

Ryan’s piercing gaze seemed capable of seeing straight through her.

This was the first time in all these years that he had looked at her this way.

Standing in front of him, Rose felt an overwhelming sense of pressure.

But at that very moment, a sudden scream rang out from inside the banquet hall.

Gasps erupted from the crowd.

Rose looked up.

A man had entered through the side door and was striding directly toward Samantha.

Everything happened too quickly.

The moment Samantha saw him, her expression changed dramatically.

She instinctively stepped back.

But the man caught her arm and raised his hand.

Smack!

Samantha fell to the floor.

Her carefully styled hair was in disarray, and her cheek immediately began to swell.

She looked up at the man in terror.

“Ethan, you—”

Oliver, who had been nearby, rushed forward.

But James grabbed his arm.
