Trick Him Into Divorce, Then Flee With His Unknow Kid novel Chapter 45

Chapter 45: Chapter 45 Rose throw herself at Ryan

Jordan’s interest in Rose exceeded everyone’s expectations.

Only Ryan stood apart, as if he were an outsider. He barely exchanged a word with Jordan, lowering his gaze and saying indifferently, “Let’s go view the ancient treasures first.”

Samantha raised an eyebrow silently.

It is a man’s nature to feel possessive toward his wife. It has nothing to do with romance, nor does it allow other men to encroach upon her in the slightest.

If a man lacks even this basic sense of possessiveness, then it is the height of indifference and contempt.

Even Caleb was relieved that Rose had walked away, sparing her from witnessing Ryan’s cold-hearted side.

He couldn’t agree more and nodded. “I’ll go take a look around first.”

Jordan made a gesture of invitation.

James stayed behind, narrowing his eyes at Jordan. “You’re not serious, are you? Did you really fall in love at first sight?”

Jordan chuckled and raised his cup. “When it comes to food, drink, and romance, there’s no need to take things too seriously. If we get along, we’ll stay together; if not, we’ll go our separate ways.”

There was a hint of callousness in those words.

James hesitated for a moment.

So it seemed Jordan was only interested in Rose’s looks for now and was merely looking for a fleeting fling.

Even if Ryan didn’t care, a wife of the Knight family simply couldn’t be allowed to do something so scandalous.

James scanned the room and lowered his voice. “Jordan, anyone else is fine, but not her.”

“Fine, then tell me—who is her boyfriend or husband? Since you know she’s not single, you can at least name a name, can’t you?”

This left James at a loss for words.

Unfortunately, since Ryan refused to acknowledge Rose publicly, he couldn’t exactly reveal her status as Mrs. Knight.

Besides, Samantha was present today. Bringing it up openly would be awkward.

James furrowed his brow.

Jordan tapped his glass against James’s. “You didn’t say she wasn’t single on purpose because you’ve taken a liking to her, did you?”

Jordan could hardly think of any other possibility.

“What are you thinking? That’s not it at all.” James frowned. Then, in a casual tone, he added, “She’s not good enough for you.”

That was the only excuse he could come up with.

Jordan took James’s words as a joke.

Neither the reason nor the identity of her husband could be revealed.

Naturally, he pretended neither existed.

He patted James on the shoulder. “You’d better focus your energy on finding your sister. No woman has ever been able to mess with me—it’s not worth worrying about.”

*****

Rose was unaware of what was happening over there.

She had originally intended to go to the restroom, but she was drawn to the ancient artifacts displayed in the glass cases along the way.

She spent quite a while admiring the exhibits.

The Dutch family truly had deep-rooted heritage. The ancient treasures on display were incredibly valuable, and she even spotted items that weren’t housed in the National Museum.

There were four floors in total, but she had only explored half of one.

She decided to head to the restroom first.

After washing her hands, she stepped outside.

The moment she exited, she heard the click of a lighter nearby.

She turned her head.

Ryan stood there quietly, his overcoat casually draped over one arm. His white shirt was of exquisite quality, and his black vest fit him perfectly, accentuating his tall, straight frame. With broad shoulders and a narrow waist, his silhouette was undeniably attractive.

At the sound, he glanced her way through wisps of smoke.

Then he looked away and casually stubbed out his cigarette.

Rose immediately understood.

Samantha must be nearby. As the perfect boyfriend, he was probably waiting for her.

Naturally, she wouldn’t be so presumptuous as to approach her own husband and strike up a conversation, lest she embarrass herself.

Rose was about to walk away.

But just as she passed in front of Ryan, she heard him speak in a calm, measured tone.

“The family’s heading to South Province for New Year’s at the end of the month. Are you coming?”

Rose stopped in her tracks and turned, her gaze locking with his.

Oh?

He was waiting for her?

But since they were getting a divorce, spending the New Year with his family clearly wouldn’t be appropriate.

“No, I’ll be with my grandfather,” she refused without hesitation.

“Fine, as you wish.”
