Trick Him Into Divorce, Then Flee With His Unknow Kid novel Chapter 243

Chapter 243: Chapter 243 Why Didn’t Trevor Marry Aster?

The air inside the car seemed to be sucked out in an instant.

Ryan, who had always remained detached from everything around him, slowly lifted his eyes. A fleeting emotion flashed across his dark, cold gaze.

Aster.

Trevor’s former lover?

Ariel’s biological mother?

Samantha suppressed her shock and blurted out instinctively, "Could it just be someone with the same name?"

After all, this Aster had never appeared before. No one knew her appearance, age, or nationality.

How could it really be her?

"Besides, if it really is Aster, there would be no reason for Mr. Robinson not to marry her."

Nor was there any possibility that the Robinson family would reject her or refuse to let her join the family.

James had also been stunned by the news for quite some time. Even now, after receiving the information, he still found it difficult to believe.

Ryan switched off his iPad and said calmly, "Given Trevor’s status, it’s not surprising that he would know Aster. One of the reasons Ariel’s biological mother has remained hidden for so many years is undoubtedly because of her background."

Considering Trevor’s family status, the possibility that this Aster was the real one was nearly ninety percent.

The likelihood of it being a mere coincidence was much lower.

If that were true...

Aster was not a foreign national.

Ryan lowered his gaze.

His thoughts once again drifted to Ariel’s delicate little face.

She did not look mixed-race.

And...

Ariel’s intelligence far exceeded that of children her age.

Most likely, she had inherited exceptional genes from both parents.

James rubbed the bridge of his nose.

"Then perhaps the reason they haven’t married doesn’t lie with the Robinson family. Could it be that Aster herself is unwilling—or unable—to marry?"

Samantha suddenly seemed to think of something and let out a soft laugh. "Actually, I don’t think you need to worry about it, Mr. Taylor. If this Aster is truly that Aster, then merely knowing who the mother of the Robinson family’s young heiress is would be enough to make Rose feel ashamed."

She smiled faintly. "Given how outstanding her predecessor is, it would be difficult for anyone not to feel inferior."

"Besides," she continued, raising an eyebrow, "Rose may seem to be in the spotlight recently as an NYU professor, but compared to Aster—a hands-on genius with countless achievements and awards in every field—her professorship is nothing more than an empty title. It really doesn’t amount to much."

James glanced at her. "Is that so?"

He didn’t argue with Samantha, even though he clearly disagreed.

After all, a professorship at NYU could never be considered an empty title.

Samantha interpreted his silence as agreement and continued. "Actually, if it really is Aster, do you think she would willingly allow another woman to become her precious daughter’s stepmother?"

To put it bluntly, even if Mr. Robinson were willing to settle down with Rose, Aster would almost certainly oppose it.

In the end, everything would amount to nothing.

Ryan lowered his eyes thoughtfully.

He seemed completely uninterested in Rose’s future romantic life.

James’s expression grew colder. "How Rose chooses to live her life is her own business. I have no intention of interfering."

Samantha froze. "What?"

James replied calmly, "Rose is now a benefactor of the Taylor family. I have no intention of repaying kindness with ingratitude."

Samantha’s heart sank.

An uncomfortable feeling washed over her.

James’s attitude toward Rose had become so special that Samantha suddenly felt as though she were meddling in matters that did not concern her.

If she wasn’t mistaken, James was deliberately speaking up for Rose.

A trace of displeasure flickered in her eyes.

The atmosphere was interrupted by Ryan’s ringing phone.

He glanced at the caller ID.

It was Oliver.

Ryan answered the call.

"Ryan, can you do me a favor?" Oliver asked.

"Go ahead."

Oliver sounded frustrated. "My grandfather hasn’t stopped praising Rose ever since he heard she became an NYU professor. He obviously wants to meet her. But Rose has a grudge against me and refuses to agree. If you talk to her, she’ll definitely say yes."

In Oliver’s mind, with Rose’s former feelings for Ryan, she would never pass up an opportunity to bargain with him.
