Hunting for His EX-Wife

Suddenly she thought of something, her brows furrowed and her face stiffened.

There was an important thing that she seemed to have forgotten to tell Elliot.

She hasn’t told Elliot about the existence of their eldest son Khalil yet!

‘Forget it, I’ll tell him tomorrow…’

Rose’s thoughts had just emerged when the door was knocked, the man she had been thinking about a second ago came in.

Opening the door, what she saw was indeed Elliot’s handsome face, with slightly damp hair and a fringe partially covering his eyes. At this moment, they were shining brightly and focused on her.

“What’s wrong?” Rose asked curiously, but the next second she was pushed back two steps and the man swiftly squeezed in, closing and locking the door behind him.

Locked up?

Rose raised her eyebrows and watched his movements.

“What do you want to do?”

“Rose…” Elliot blinked and quickly approached her, pressing his lips onto her red lips. A hint of mint and lemon fragrance wafted into Rose’s nostrils.

“Umph!” She managed to let out a single sound before the man’s kiss silenced her, their breaths entwining in a long and passionate embrace.

Even when she finally collapsed onto the bed, Rose hadn’t had a chance to ponder how they ended up together again.

The next day, the scorching sun was shining brightly. Rose stretched lazily and found that there was no one around her. She got out of bed feeling sore and washed up. The woman in the mirror looked lazy and charming, with a hint of delicacy all over her body. Her eyebrows and eyes were so tender.

She was brushing her teeth and getting ready to wash her face when a figure came up from behind and hugged her. The familiar scent of a man enveloped her body, and Rose leaned back against him, looking up at him through the mirror.

“Lunch is ready, I’ll wait for you to come down and eat.” Elliot lowered his head and lightly kissed her cheek, his actions natural and affectionate.

“Uh-huh.” She nodded and washed her face leisurely, pushing him aside. “What about the kids? Have they eaten already?”

“No, we are waiting for you,” Elliot didn’t leave. He walked over to her and handed her a handkerchief. Rose had just finished washing her face and drying it off, so the two of them walked out together.

Just as she took two steps, Rose’s wrist was grabbed by someone. She turned around and met the man’s flirty gaze with a smile in his eyes, “Is this how you’re going to leave?”

“Hmm? What’s wrong?” She was puzzled and followed Elliot’s gaze to look down at herself. Suddenly, her face turned red and she shook off his hand before walking towards the cloakroom. “It’s all your fault, it’s because of you.”

When Rose changed her clothes, she discovered that her body was covered in red marks, some of which were quite evident. Fortunately, they could all be hidden. She covered two marks on her neck with foundation before following Elliot downstairs.

“Mommy!” Leah sat at the table waving and saying, “Come on, it’s time for lunch!”

Rose looked a bit embarrassed as she appeared at noon after sleeping until twelve o’clock. She didn’t know how Elliot had explained it to the two children.

Fortunately, the two kids didn’t ask any questions and relieved Rose’s embarrassment.

No one spoke during lunch and soon it was over. Rose brought two plates of fruit to the children and sat with them on the couch watching variety shows.

Elliot sat down next to her with an intimate posture.

Sean and Leah sat together, their eyes occasionally scanning their mommy and daddy.

Rose naturally noticed her children’s gaze. When Leah looked over again, she suddenly spoke up, “Leah, what are you looking at?”

Leah blinked hesitantly before speaking, “Mommy, how should we address… Uncle Elliot in the future?”

Rose was stunned as she glanced at Elliot beside her.

“He is your father,” Rose said seriously while sitting up straighter. “What do you want to call him?”

Sean pursed his lips without expression while Leah immediately smiled brightly and called out naturally, “Daddy!”

Elliot’s face stiffened slightly as his eyes became unfocused while resting on his daughter’s smiling face for a moment without making a sound until Rose pulled his hand then he reacted by stiffly nodding his head with a forced smile before adding softly so that he wouldn’t seem too cold towards his child, “Good girl.”

Sean: “…”

He glanced at his little sister and mommy then turned away coldly without any intention of calling Elliot “Daddy” yet.

Rose sighed; she had also noticed recently that Sean did not like Elliot very much or even felt some disgust towards him despite being Sean’s biological father. It would be too hasty for him to start calling Elliot “Daddy” now so instead of urging him further; she comforted Elliot instead which earned her an appeasing smile from him in return.

After watching TV quietly for a while, suddenly Sean spoke up, “Mommy, aren’t we supposed to go shopping today? To buy Khalil something?”

Rose’s heart skipped a beat. Leah glanced curiously at her brother. Elliot furrowed his brow in confusion as he looked at them.

Rose suddenly remembered that she had forgotten to tell Elliot about Khalil.

“Um, Sean and Leah, can we take a break before we go? It’s still early,” Rose said, glancing at the time and offering some words of comfort before giving Elliot a signal with her eyes. “There’s something I forgot to tell you.”

The two of them went upstairs to the study.

…

After an hour, Valentin opened the door. He had just woken up from his nap and still looked dazed. He smiled when he saw Rose but froze when he saw the man behind her.

“Elliot?” Valentin exclaimed in surprise.

It wasn’t entirely unexpected since Rose had warned him not to let Elliot find out about Khalil’s existence. But now she was bringing him over herself; it was understandable that Valentin would be shocked.

“We should go inside first,” Rose said, breaking the awkward silence.

“What is Khalil doing?” she asked as she led Elliot inside with two other children trailing behind them.

“Alright.” Valentin rubbed his eyes and let them in before closing the door behind him and following closely behind them into the house.

He thought he must have been mistaken until he realized that it really was Rose bringing Elliot along with her this time around.

“Mommy!” Khalil exclaimed happily as soon as he spotted Rose walking towards him. He jumped off the couch and ran over to her but stopped halfway when he noticed Elliot standing there too. His eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at Elliot.

“Come here, Khalil! I miss you so much!” Rose laughed as she walked over to pick up her son from where he stood.

Khalil ended up lying on top of Rose’s shoulder which brought him even closer face-to-face with Elliot than before.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
