Trick Him Into Divorce, Then Flee With His Unknow Kid novel Chapter 255

Chapter 255: Chapter 255 Mommy, why are you crying?

Rose was startled.

She turned her head and locked eyes with Julia, who was standing in the doorway.

Julia was still carrying a thermos lunch box—she had obviously come to bring Trevor a late-night meal. But by sheer coincidence, she had overheard the two of them talking about getting married.

A delighted smile spread across her face as she hurried over.

"So, you two have really decided?" she asked excitedly.

Rose immediately felt a pang of guilt and instinctively glanced at Trevor.

If only she and Trevor knew about the arrangement, they wouldn’t have to deal with anyone else’s expectations.

But now that Julia had overheard them, everything had suddenly changed.

Their marriage wasn’t built on love, yet they would be accepting everyone else’s sincere blessings.

"I knew it! You two look perfect together." Julia beamed before turning to Rose. "Trevor may seem stiff and unromantic, and he throws himself into his work, but that only means he isn’t interested in wasting time on meaningless relationships. Once he commits to someone, he’ll be completely faithful."

Julia didn’t hold back in praising her son.

Rose could almost hear the unspoken message behind those words.

Julia must have guessed something about her situation.

Her previous marriage had ended in disaster, and Julia was trying to reassure her.

But the truth was, Rose didn’t care about any of that.

She and Trevor had already reached an agreement. It was nothing more than a mutually beneficial arrangement. If Trevor ever met someone he truly loved, she would never stand in his way.

But now that Julia knew...

It would only make things harder to end later.

After all, Rose had never planned to have a wedding, let alone announce a sham marriage to the public simply for the sake of securing Ariel’s custody.

"I heard you two talking about the wedding," Julia said cheerfully. "Here’s what we’ll do—leave all the wedding arrangements to me. Marriage isn’t just a formality, and I don’t want Rose to feel shortchanged."

She was in such high spirits that she made the decision almost immediately.

Rose didn’t want to ruin Julia’s happiness.

"Mrs. Robinson," she said gently, "the truth is, my marriage to Trevor is only a marriage of convenience. We’re not getting married because we’re in love. Although I can’t tell you the real reason right now, I don’t want you to be disappointed because of it."

She deliberately avoided mentioning that she was Ariel’s biological mother.

Until Ariel’s legal custody was secured, she couldn’t trust anyone completely.

Only by keeping the truth a closely guarded secret could she ensure Ryan remained completely unaware.

Julia fell silent for a moment, clearly surprised.

However, being open-minded, she quickly accepted it.

"How the two of you came to this decision isn’t important. The important thing is that you’re getting married. Feelings can grow over time. Since this marriage is real, then let’s celebrate it properly. There’s no reason to hide it—we’ll have all the traditions and celebrations that come with a wedding."

Smiling, she added, "After all, we can’t let Professor Rose’s wedding be anything less than spectacular."

A grand wedding...

Wouldn’t that be announcing it to the entire world?

Rose couldn’t bring herself to refuse outright.

Things had already reached this point.

She simply hadn’t expected Julia to be so understanding.

Julia raised an eyebrow at Trevor. "Leave the wedding to me. We’ll make it unforgettable. It’ll take some time to prepare—custom wedding gowns, wedding planning, custom-designed rings, all of that takes time. But I’ll make sure everything is ready within three months. If you don’t mind, the two of you can get your marriage license first."

Rose still felt as though she were surrounded by a thick fog.

It was as if fate—and their own choices—had quietly pushed them onto an entirely different path.

She realized that this matter could no longer be handled quietly behind the scenes.

It was completely unexpected.

She didn’t want the Robinson family to spend so much time, effort, and money celebrating a marriage built solely on mutual benefit.

But Julia didn’t seem to care.

"It’s only a wedding," Julia said with a smile. "There’s no need to feel guilty. It’s something both of you agreed to. As long as money can solve it, then it’s not a problem at all. You really don’t have to worry."

Only after she left with Trevor did Rose finally come back to her senses.

She didn’t regret her decision.

For Ariel’s sake, she was willing to risk everything.

Especially after the fake divorce certificate incident, which had shown her exactly what kind of people the Knight family truly were.

They would stop at nothing to get what they wanted.

If they had actually known Ariel existed, the consequences would have been catastrophic.

She wasn’t willing to gamble on even the slightest chance.

That night, Rose wanted nothing more than to see Ariel.

Trevor drove her to Dr. Nathan Hale’s home.

Just before they arrived, he spoke. "There’s no such thing as fairness when both sides enter an agreement willingly. Don’t forget, you’re now a professor at NYU. You’ll be a valuable asset to the Robinson family’s medical project in the second half of the year."

He didn’t want Rose to feel as though she owed him.

Understanding what he meant, Rose nodded.

Trevor parked the car. "I’ll be flying to the U.K. in the next couple of days to take care of the paperwork. Wait for my call."
