Trick Him Into Divorce, Then Flee With His Unknow Kid novel Chapter 57

Chapter 57: Chapter 57 She Walked Away

Rose no longer had the slightest interest in what they thought.

Nor did she bother to see what expression Ryan had on his face. She turned and walked away without a trace of emotion.

She had done what she wanted to do.

She no longer believed in that old line about children being immature.

She no longer believed it.

Ariel and Mike were the same age, yet Ariel was sensible and well-behaved. As for Mike—could he really not know what he was doing?

What exactly did it mean that he "didn’t know any better"?

Or was he acting on someone’s orders, lording it over others?

Right and wrong—it made no difference to her anymore.

The root cause was simply that Ryan had granted that brother and sister special privileges.

Rose’s retreating figure was truly resolute.

Ryan followed her with his gaze, his expression betraying no emotion. Finally, his eyes slowly drifted toward the iron barrel still blazing with fire.

“Mike, apologize to Uncle Ryan.”

Samantha glanced in the direction Rose had left, a flash of sarcasm in her eyes.

For a loser, she sure has quite the temper.

Putting on such a fierce display—wasn’t it all just to get Ryan to glance her way?

She understood those little female schemes all too well.

Mike immediately ran over and hugged Ryan.

“I’m sorry. I won’t do it again. I just didn’t want that woman to bully my sister...”

Samantha sighed helplessly.

“Mike, don’t say such things.”

Ryan shifted his gaze from the metal barrel to the woman standing before him. Lowering his eyes, he said, “Go wash your hands.”

Mike had been playing all day and was covered in dirt.

Hearing how much Ryan still cared about him, Mike’s spirits soared.

He knew it!

He and his sister were the most important people to Ryan!

Samantha could also tell that Ryan had no intention of getting angry or holding it against her.

Didn’t that just prove how insignificant Rose was?

A satisfied smile curved her lips.

“Ryan, you spoil him even more than I do.”

No one mentioned Rose again.

It was as if nothing had happened.

“It’s only because of you,” James replied slowly, glancing in the direction Rose had left with a hint of complexity.

A touch of bashfulness flitted across Samantha’s face as she gazed at Ryan with even greater tenderness, her eyes brimming with sweetness.

She knew.

Ryan valued her.

James was on her side, too.

The realization made her heart flutter with joy.

As Ryan’s closest friends—whether Oliver or James—they had long since taken her side.

The support she enjoyed was something Rose could only dream of.

Rose was destined to lose.

James glanced at Samantha’s expression.

For some reason, Rose’s reddened eyes came to mind.

While Samantha went to find Mike, he walked over to Ryan’s side and stood shoulder to shoulder with him, watching the iron barrel that was nearly extinguished after the fire burned out.

“Doesn’t Rose seem a bit off?”

After all, he had known Rose for many years.

She had never been so ruthless before.

They all knew how much she treasured everything related to Ryan.

Ryan shifted his gaze away from the desolate, ash-filled barrel and said to the nanny standing nearby, “Have someone clean this up.”

Then he lowered his eyes, took out a cigarette pack, and flicked one free.

“Is that so?”

His tone was so cold and detached that even James wondered whether Rose would feel even more heartbroken if she heard it.

But in the next instant, James furrowed his brow inexplicably, a vague sense of unease washing over him.

“True, I was overthinking it. Oliver told me about that one-sided divorce agreement she gave you. She’s more dependent on you than we ever imagined.”

She was calling for a divorce, yet the agreement itself was a tangled web.

Practically forcing Ryan not to sign it.

Rose loved Ryan deeply, so she was bound to endure.

But just now, Rose’s resolute demeanor had almost made him think she truly no longer wanted Ryan as her husband.

It seemed that had merely been an illusion.

Only then did Ryan lift his eyelids slightly.

He had already thrown away that divorce agreement.

He hadn’t mentioned that to Rose.

Tapping the ash from his cigarette, a thought occurred to him, and he chuckled softly.
