Hunting for His EX-Wife

Chapter 986 Spin-off: Rose’s Side Story



“I’m pregnant?”

Rose looked repeatedly at the result on the pregnancy test, and after a moment of daze, an indescribable joy surged.

Today was her birthday, there was no better birthday gift than this!

She hurried back home and prepared a table of delicious dishes, waiting for Elliot Harper to come back so she could tell him the news.

Rose was actually a little nervous, not knowing if he would be as happy as she was.

After all, they had been married for three years, but their relationship had always been lukewarm.

Anyway, this was still his child, and he would like it.

As she thought about it, a hint of anticipation appeared on her face.

She waited until late at night, and the food had gone cold several times before Elliot returned.

Rose was taken aback by the strong smell of alcohol that hit her face, and she paused for a moment.

This was the first time she had seen him so drunk.

The man was tall and straight, and his custom-made suit made him even more handsome.

Rose’s heart raced faster as she stepped forward to help him untie his tie. “What happened? Why did you drink so much?” she asked.

Elliot’s eyes were deep-set and mysterious, with a hint of redness at the bottom. He stared at Rose as if she were his enemy.

He sneered and said nothing, throwing her directly onto the bed in the bedroom.

Rose stood up unconsciously and said, “Honey, you…”

What greeted her was a deluge of kisses from the man, silencing all the words she wanted to say.

The body came into direct contact with the air, and a chill rushed up. Rose shuddered and pushed him away, saying, “Honey, I need to talk to you about something first, please let go…”

The man did not give her a chance to breathe, grabbed her wrist, and spit out two words like a ferocious beast, “Shut up!” ”

The next moment, there was an even more intense attack…

Rose had no idea what was wrong with Elliot today.

He had no trace of pity, and every action was filled with ferocity.

After it was over, Elliot fell into a deep sleep, his arm still tightly wrapped around Rose as if he was afraid she would run away.

Rose couldn’t fall asleep, staring blankly at the ceiling with a sense of confusion.

What was wrong with Elliot?

Suddenly, the phone rang and it was Elliot’s.

Rose wanted to wake him up, but the man only frowned impatiently.

She could only answer the call.

The moment Rose pressed the call button, her right eyelid twitched fiercely.

Rose was stunned, as if struck by lightning.

There was no response from the other end, and she called out “Elliot” several times repeatedly.

Rose’s fingers trembled as she hurriedly hung up the phone.

In the darkness, she looked at Elliot’s silhouette and felt like she was in a nightmare.

The woman’s voice just now was all too familiar – it was her step-sister, Madeleine Fox.

Madeleine had just said that their son had a fever and needed his father…

Elliot and Madeleine have a child together?

When did this happen…?

Elliot actually has a child with another woman.

But what about her own pregnancy? What does that mean?

Rose spent the whole night sitting motionless until dawn before finally falling asleep in a daze.

When she woke up, Elliot wasn’t by her side anymore.

Thinking back to yesterday’s phone call made Rose feel like there was a stone lodged in her chest, causing even her lower abdomen to ache along with it.

She thought it would be something minor but ended up experiencing two hours of pain.

Feeling scared now, Rose took her medical records to the hospital.

But who knew that when she got to the second floor of the hospital building, she saw two familiar figures: The man who shared her bed last night holding onto a little boy while standing next to Madeleine.

The three of them looked so harmonious together as if they were one happy family unit.

Madeleine seemed to sense something and turned around; seeing Rose from afar off approached alone after Elliot brought their son into an examination room.

“Rose,” Madeleine said with surprise written on her face,”what brings you here?”

Rose clutched tightly onto the registration form in hand; looking pale-faced, asked, “Whose child is that?”

Madeleine smiled. “You answered yesterday’s phone call right? Then you should already know.”

“Elliot loves this son very much; he specially pushed aside all his work today just so he could accompany us mother-son duo.” She continued speaking while taking out some paper from inside of bag handing it over towards Rose.

“Oh right,” Madeleine added, “Elliot couldn’t bear giving this directly to you because of your past relationship ties; hence why he asked me instead.”

“Rose, hurry up and sign it! So Elliot won’t be put into any more difficult situations.”

As soon as Rose received the divorce agreement. It felt like sharp needles piercing straight through into heart.

She asked with a trembling voice, “He wants divorce?”

“What else could there be, Rose?” said Madeline smilingly, “Elliot and I have a son now. You can’t keep occupying his wife position forever either.”

With eyes closed shut tight, Rose tried hard not let tears fall down.

So that’s how it was. She had been occupying this position all along, and as soon as another woman had a child, she could be abandoned at any time.

Rose’s heart broke into a million pieces, bleeding profusely.

She gritted her teeth and took a deep breath before signing her name on the divorce agreement one stroke at a time.

Each stroke cut off the feelings she shouldn’t have had for him all these years.

After finishing, she turned around and left without looking back.

She should have understood this man’s cold-heartedness long ago.

Elliot happened to be coming out of the hospital with the child in his arms when he saw Rose’s slender figure walking away from him.

He couldn’t help but frown. What was she doing here?

Was something wrong with her health?

Elliot hesitated for a moment before wanting to call out to her and ask, but Madeleine grabbed his arm first with an embarrassed expression on her face. “Elliot… Rose came over here to give you this…”

Elliot took the paper from Madeleine’s hand and saw Rose’s forceful handwriting. His face darkened immediately upon reading it.

It was clearly she who cheated on him first with another man behind his back, yet now she dared to bring up divorce!

Elliot threw the “divorce agreement” into the trash can fiercely before chasing after Rose in big strides outside of the hospital building.

In her car outside of the hospital building, tears finally burst forth from Rose’s eyes uncontrollably as soon as Elliot disappeared from view. With one hand gently caressing her stomach while whispering softly, “Baby, Mommy is sorry for you. Mommy will find you a better dad in future.”

As Rose drove across an oceanic bridge later that day, however, glancing briefly through rear view mirror, she saw Elliot’s car following closely behind hers?

But before Rose could think too much about it; suddenly there was an oncoming truck driving towards them in reverse direction!

Her mind went blank momentarily; instinctively turning right sharply…

In just an instant – breaking through guardrails – her vehicle plunged directly into sea water below!

“Rose–”

As pain overwhelmed consciousness itself; amidst everything else going dark – somehow familiar voices seemed calling out desperately for help…

At that moment when the car hit rock bottom underwater though, exhausted beyond measure by then, Rose simply closed both eyes tightly shut instead…

Perhaps it was just wishful thinking after all…

There would be no way Elliot would comw anyway…

e save her no

Suddenly feeling regretful though – if only given another chance at life again…

She wouldn’t get involved with him anymore or… fall in love with him again!
