Hunting for His EX-Wife

The servant standing nearby dared not breathe, let alone step forward to stop it.

Rose, on the other hand, remained calm and collected. She watched Madeleine show off with the same detachment one might have while watching a crazy dog perform.

Madeleine was determined to drive Rose out of the Harper Villa, but Rose didn’t want to stay here at all.

She grabbed Leah’s hand and walked towards the door, saying, “If you’re really that capable, then hurry up and ask Elliot to divorce me. I’ve been wanting a divorce for a long time.”

After she finished speaking, she left the villa with her daughter without any hesitation or reluctance.

Madeleine, who stayed behind, looked resentfully at the figures of Rose and her daughter leaving.

‘Hmph, you’re leaving so decisively now. If you have the guts, don’t go tattling to Elliot.’

‘However, even if you go tattling, it doesn’t matter. Now I have the support of old Mr. Harper and I’m not afraid of anything!’

On the other side, Rose took Leah directly to Valentin’s villa to find Valentin and Sean.

The incident from last time has passed, and although Rose knows that Sean is okay, she still can’t help but worry deep down.

Sean and Valentin saw Rose and Leah and were both surprised and delighted.

“Mommy.” Sean snapped out of it and quickly ran towards his own mother.

Rose caught Sean with a smile, looked left and right, and after confirming that he was okay, she said with a smile, “We are back. Does Sean miss me?”

“Yes.” Sean was lying on his mommy’s shoulder, tightly hugging his own mommy with his little hands.

Leah made a mischievous face when she saw Sean’s expression, saying “Sean, you’re blushing.”

Sean’s face turned red instantly when he heard Leah’s teasing voice.

“I just miss my mommy.”

…

When Elliot returned to the villa that evening, it was already after seven o’clock.

As soon as he walked into the hall, he smelled the fragrance of food throughout the room. The warm yellow lights made it feel very cozy.

This is the feeling of home that Elliot hasn’t experienced in years, causing a faint smile to unconsciously appear on his lips.

He didn’t expect that although Rose said so, she would still cook for him and wait for him to come back, just like before.

Elliot walked into the dining room with a smile, but did not see the expected figure.

The next second, Madeleine’s gentle voice echoed in the dining room, shattering all of Elliot’s fantasies.

“Elliot, you’re back!”

“What are you doing here?”

Madeleine pretended to be coy and lowered her head, whispering softly, “Grandpa said you couldn’t take care of yourself alone, so he asked me to move in with you.”

Elliot’s eyes flickered as he fell silent for a moment before asking again, “And where’s Rose?”

Meanwhile, Elliot had no idea that she was at Valentin’s villa enjoying a delicious meal with two children and hadn’t even thought about his existence.

Half an hour later, the sound of screeching tires suddenly echoed outside the house. The harmonious atmosphere inside froze instantly.

Leah heard the familiar sound and her eyes lit up. However, there was also some concern in her gaze as she looked at Sean.

“What should we do? Has he found us?!”

“Sean needs to leave now.”

Rose turned to look at Sean with a hint of worry in her dark eyes.

Sean nodded gently. “I’ll leave now!” He spoke quickly before running out into the darkness outside.

As soon as Elliot entered the villa from outside moments later; however; he saw a small figure disappearing into darkness again. His eyebrows furrowed slightly as he watched this little girl leaving direction curiously wondering where she could be going so late at night.

Suppressing his doubts deep down inside himself; Elliot walked into the living room of the villa instead. As soon as he walked in though, his gaze landed on a little girl sitting next to the table eating cream all over her mouth which made him stop for just a second.

He looked around suspiciously before finally settling on Rose’s face and asked bluntly, “Who is that kid who just ran away earlier?”

Rose panicked inwardly but tried hard not show it on her face while clenching her fists tightly. Did Elliot run into Sean by any chance? She forced herself to appear calm while looking directly back at him without answering his question right away instead asking one herself, “What brings you here?”

“To take you back,” replied Elliot before repeating himself once more, “Who is that kid who just ran away earlier?”

“What kid are you talking about?” Rose pretended not knowing anything about it while looking confusedly back at him like she didn’t understand what he meant exactly by ‘that kid’.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Meanwhile, Elliot frowned deeply, scanning everyone present in living room including Leah but eventually stopped when his gaze landed upon the little girl. “Wasn’t there another child like your age playing around here just now?”

Leah pretended to look confused and glanced at her scumbag dad before blinking innocently. “No, there’s only been me here as a child.”

Elliot pursed his lips and scanned the table, becoming even more convinced. “There was definitely another child here just now.”

Otherwise, with Rose, the little girl, and Valentin present, why were there four sets of utensils?

Rose calmly denied it. “Nope.”

Elliot didn’t believe Rose’s words; he would find out.

He had a feeling deep down that it was probably the same kid who tried to hit him last time…

Rose felt uneasy under his gaze and her own eyes grew colder as she asked him if he had anything else to say.

Elliot snapped back into focus and looked intently at the woman sitting on the couch. “Come home with me.”

“There’s already a mistress of the house there; I’m not going,” Rose replied elegantly while taking a tissue to wipe her hands.

Elliot furrowed his brow as he stared at Rose firmly. “Don’t try to make excuses; I’ll take care of that woman. You’re coming home with me now.”

Rose looked up at him with furrowed brows – she thought she made herself clear earlier but unexpectedly, Elliot still came looking for her.

Just when Rose was about to refuse again, she suddenly thought of Madeleine’s arrogant demeanor during the day.

‘If I didn’t go back now, wouldn’t it just make Madeleine even more pleased?’

She smiled slightly in response, “Alright then, let’s go home together.”

The little one sitting next to her couldn’t believe what she heard – Did Mommy agree to go home with Daddy?

Before Leah could react, Rose stood up smilingly asking, “Mommy is going back. Do you want to come along?”

As Elliot watched this scene unfold before him in disbelief, he felt like nothing had changed between them after all these years…

If this were true – if they really did have such a child – would things be any different from how they are right now?
