Trick Him Into Divorce, Then Flee With His Unknow Kid novel Chapter 254

Chapter 254: Chapter 254 A Marriage of Convenience

Rose’s voice was firm.

Before speaking, she had deliberately taken a moment to steady herself before solemnly saying those words.

She truly had no other options left.

The Knight family had crossed the line again and again, and if she wanted to secure Ariel’s legal guardianship, this seemed to be the only path remaining.

At that moment, Rose simply couldn’t think about anything else.

Trevor certainly hadn’t expected this.

He lifted a hand slightly, signaling the stunned secretary standing at the door to leave.

The secretary finally came back to her senses and quietly slipped out of the office.

Trevor looked at Rose.

He saw the desperation in her eyes.

“All right. I agree to marry you.”

His voice was steady and calm.

His answer came without the slightest hesitation.

After reassuring her, he continued, “However, my situation is a little complicated, so we’ll need to make some preparations.”

Trevor pulled out a chair and gestured for Rose to sit down.

Leaning against the edge of the desk beside her, he continued, “I currently have permanent residency in the U.K. Although I’m an American citizen and my legal residence is still in the United States, I lived in the U.K. for many years. If we want to get married, I’ll need to obtain a Certificate of No Impediment from the British authorities first. Given that situation, are you willing to wait for me?”

Rose gradually calmed down.

The truth was that the issue of the divorce decree had completely overwhelmed her.

Marriage between two adults was not something that should happen on impulse.

She understood Trevor’s circumstances.

He had spent most of those years overseas, and even in the United States, certain legal documents would still be required.

Suddenly, she met his gaze.

“Aren’t you going to ask me why I suddenly asked you to marry me?”

Especially when it involved something as important as marriage.

Trevor had not asked a single question.

He had simply agreed.

His expression remained calm and composed.

“If there’s something you want to tell me,” he said, “I’m willing to listen.”

A wave of guilt suddenly rose inside Rose.

She took a deep breath. “It’s because of Ariel’s legal guardianship. The records office informed me that there’s a problem with my divorce documents. The paperwork isn’t valid. I was deceived by the Knight family, but my legal records still show that I’m divorced. Even so, without the actual divorce decree, I can’t complete the process.”

Only then did she finally admit it.

The frustration and helplessness had driven her to make a reckless decision.

Marriage.

Marrying Trevor.

Only then could she transfer Ariel’s legal guardianship more quickly and legitimately.

As Trevor’s legal spouse, she would become Ariel’s stepmother in the eyes of the law.

With that legal relationship established, transferring guardianship would become far simpler.

It would be much easier than begging the Knight family for the divorce decree.

She would no longer need to depend on anyone or compromise.

But there was one thing—

Rose looked at Trevor.

He didn’t seem upset at all.

He clearly understood what she meant.

Her proposal had nothing to do with love.

She wasn’t marrying him because of her feelings.

She was doing it solely for Ariel.

“I’m sorry,” Rose said quietly. “I know I’m asking too much of you. You can refuse me.”

She had regained her composure.

Earlier, she had been consumed by her anxiety over Ariel’s future.

She had never stopped to consider why Trevor should accept a loveless marriage.

Why should he sacrifice his first marriage for her sake?

She felt that she had gone too far.

Trevor seemed to see through every thought in her mind.

Rose had always been someone who loved fiercely and hated fiercely.

She rarely hid her true feelings.
