Hunting for His EX-Wife

His silence at the moment undoubtedly made the atmosphere even more oppressive. Rose sensed that something was wrong, but when she asked him, she didn’t get an answer.

Old Mr. Harper next to them spoke up instead. “You’re wishy-washy and have a terrible character. You’re not worthy of our Harper family! And on top of that, you have twins! You’re simply shameless…”

The insults immediately made Rose cover her children’s ears and her face turned cold as her heart sank little by little.

Elliot beside her also changed his expression and sternly interrupted old Mr. Harper, “Grandpa! Don’t say such things.”

Even if he didn’t like Rose having children with other men, he couldn’t bear to let his own family insult and blame her.

Rose couldn’t stand this groundless accusation either, especially since it was said in front of two children. She immediately retorted without giving any respect to the elder.

“I don’t think I’m the shameless one here; it’s your grandson who are!” Rose was so angry that she lost her head and became impolite towards old Mr. Harper, “He is the one who betrayed our relationship! If he hadn’t cheated on me, I wouldn’t be in this situation at all! Instead of taking care of yourselves properly, you come blaming me? Is it only men who can cheat freely while women must stay at home obediently?”

Rose spoke bluntly which made the old Mr. Harper so angry that his vision blurred for a moment as he trembled while pointing at her without knowing what to say next.

Elliot stood beside him with cold eyes mixed with confusion; he cheated…

Rose didn’t give them any chance to speak up again; instead, she raised herself up in front of the Harpers with an overwhelming momentum. “Who do you think you are? Before I respected you because we had a relationship through your grandson whom I liked back then. But now, you should consider what kind of person your grandson is. He has an illegitimate child older than my son or daughter! I want to make myself clear: nobody can bully my child, no matter who they are!”

As she said these words, Rose looked fierce like a mother protecting its cubs from danger in a jungle. She remained calm yet imposing throughout, sending shivers down anyone’s spine who dared challenge her authority.

At this moment, Rose was undoubtedly stunning, with a beautiful face that carried a hint of the strength and bravery of a mother. Elliot couldn’t help but focus his gaze on her face, his eyes slowly flashing with amazement and love, followed by complex feelings.

He didn’t say anything.

Rose simply left without looking back or hesitating, holding her children’s hands as they walked away. No one stopped them or spoke up; the hospital corridor outside was quiet.

Old Mr. Harper was the first to react angrily. “Look at her! She has no manners and dares to oppose me! Elliot, divorce her immediately…”

But before he could finish speaking, Elliot interrupted him in a calm and low voice, “Grandfather, these are my affairs. They don’t involve anyone else.”

“Anyone else?” old Mr. Harper repeated before becoming furious again. His wrinkled face turned red with anger as he pointed his cane at Elliot’s arm. “You dare call me ‘anyone else’? I’m your grandfather! Will you divorce her or not? I warn you now – I’m still alive and can make decisions for everything related to the Harper family including you!”

Elliot let out a light sigh from his mouth; seeing how calmly he reacted made old Mr. Harper wonder what he was thinking about and suddenly become quiet.

“You know,” said Elliot calmly, “you’re my grandfather.”

Ignoring all those unpleasant things said by others, Rose left the hospital quickly with both children in tow. Her expression grew darker as she walked, and even though she wanted to vent out all that frustration, she couldn’t because of her children. She would have gone back if it weren’t for them, to give Elliot what he deserved.

It wasn’t until Rose sat in the car with both kids beside her that Leah carefully shook Rose’s hand while asking, “Mommy, are we going home?”

All thoughts vanished from Rose’s mind when she saw how concerned both kids were about her.

She felt herself soften inside instantly upon seeing their caring expressions towards herself. She knew then that whatever happened, she had her children who loved her unconditionally

She didn’t want to go back to Elliot’s villa. “Let’s go to your uncle’s house?” If she went back to the villa, Elliot would definitely argue with her again. Even if he didn’t argue, Rose still wanted to have a big fight with him. She couldn’t believe how the Harper family saw her.

“Okay, let’s go find Uncle Tom and Valentin!” Leah and Sean looked at each other and nodded in agreement, their eyes showing comfort and sympathy for Rose.

Rose temporarily calmed down her mind and took the children to find Valentin.

She didn’t want to see Elliot at all.

Because of Shawn’s sudden condition in the hospital, both old Mr. Harper and Elliot stayed behind. However, old Mr. Harper wasn’t feeling well so he left after a while intending on coming back when the child woke up leaving only Elliot alone.

Shawn hadn’t woken up yet; he was lying on his bed breathing evenly as if sleeping soundly with an IV drip hanging beside him while needles were stuck into his veins causing them turn blue-purple from swelling.

Elliot looked at the child lying on his sickbed, then sighed almost imperceptibly as his thoughts drifted slowly back to that scene just now.

What old Mr. Harper said indeed went too far but there was also some truth in it: Rose had cheated on him first by having children with another man while they were still together.

But how did she refute it?

She said that he betrayed her first.

His relationship with Madeleine wasn’t what she imagined it would be like nor was Shawn…

He just couldn’t tell her about everything yet.

Why couldn’t Rose trust him or wait for him?

Elliot thought about this until his face involuntarily sank; A huge stone seemed pressed onto his heart, making it hard for him to breathe and leaving only dull pain lingering inside which slowly tortured his emotions bit by bit.

Rose’s attitude really wasn’t right, especially those two children who also seemed off somehow…

Elliot completely calmed down but found some unusual things particularly about those two children of Roses’.

Why wouldn’t she let that little boy appear before himself?
