Hunting for His EX-Wife

As soon as she finished speaking, old Mr. Harper’s face changed repeatedly, and he began to calculate.

After a while, the butler appeared in front of old Mr. Harper, who glanced at him and asked, “Did you find out? What’s going on?”

The butler glanced at Madeleine, suppressing the disdain and contempt in his eyes, and answered in a low voice, “We checked the hotel’s surveillance footage and found two unknown individuals besides the list of people we invited last night.”

Old Mr. Harper’s eyes narrowed and he furrowed his brow, “Who is it?”

This matter seems very suspicious, otherwise it wouldn’t be so coincidental. Madeleine ends up being the victim.

Old Mr. Harper had a faint suspicion in his heart, but he calmly asked the butler without showing any expression on his face.

“A young man and a little child.”

The butler’s voice carried a hint of doubt as he added the information he had found.

“The young man appeared to be in his early twenties, while the child looked only about four or five years old. Moreover, the two of them seemed to have avoided the hotel’s surveillance throughout their entire stay and were only captured by the camera at the hotel entrance when they left, leaving behind a silhouette.”

Madeleine’s heart was stirred, “Grandpa, it must be Rose’s people! They are Rose’s people, and she wants to harm me! Otherwise, how could these two people who we didn’t even invite appear!”

After listening to the butler’s words, old Mr. Harper suddenly had a flashback of Rose and the child he saw at Elliot’s mansion that day. He glanced deeply at Madeleine and asked, “Is the child a boy or a girl?”

The butler hesitated for a moment and then replied affirmatively, “It’s a little boy.”

“Grandpa! It’s Rose who’s trying to harm me! Absolutely her! You must intervene! What happened last night was definitely her intentionally plotting against me!”

Madeleine had a mournful face, with eyes full of hatred towards Rose.

“Go and find out who those two people are and what they did at the hotel last night,” said old Mr. Harper, waving his hand to dismiss the butler.

Although there is a suspicion that last night’s incident is related to Rose, what exactly did she do? Are those two people really involved with her?

At the Harper Villa, after having a fever, Rose fell seriously ill. She had to rest in bed for three days before feeling any strength returning to her body.

Fortunately, no one had come to disturb her these past few days. Madeleine hadn’t shown up after that night, and Elliot seemed to have changed his attitude. He was no longer cold, mocking, or confrontational toward her. So, Rose was able to rest comfortably.

Leah looked back at the boy following her closely. Wherever she went, he followed. She stopped abruptly and turned around, “Why are you following me?”

Shawn was startled by her sudden turn and took a step back, blushing slightly. Under Leah’s gaze, he stuttered out, “I… I…”

Impatient with his hesitation, Leah interrupted him sharply, “What? What do you want to say? If you have nothing to say, then I’m going inside! Stop following me!”

She was on her way to accompany her mother and this Shawn had been following her for days now. It was driving her crazy.

In truth, Leah didn’t dislike him at all. She thought he was quite handsome from the moment she saw him despite looking a little pale and weak. His face was delicate and attractive.

But…

The fact that Shawn was the son of her father with another woman made Leah feel resentful towards him so she didn’t want anything to do with him but unfortunately he kept approaching her.

“I have toys here that I can give you to play with!” Shawn seemed to gather some courage as he said these words in a small voice which sounded weak like someone else’s but carried a hint of tenderness.

Leah refused bluntly without any courtesy,”My mom is sick so I don’t want any toys! Don’t follow me anymore! Don’t talk to me!”

After saying this much, she went into Rose’s room while closing the door behind herself.

“Mommy!”

Rose looked up from the bed when she saw that it was Leah who came looking for herself; Her face brightened up immediately as soon as their eyes met, “Leah!”

Seeing that there seemed something bothering about her daughter, Rose asked curiously, “What happened? You don’t seem too happy today, my dear girl? Who made you angry?”

Rose had no idea about what had happened between her daughter and the boy who hadn’t left. Out of curiosity, she picked the girl up.

“Shawn annoyed me!” Leah pouted, “Mommy, he has been following me for days now; He even offered his toys for me to play with but who wants them anyway?”

Rose thought it was Elliot mistreating her daughter, so she sighed with relief when she found out he didn’t.

“You don’t like Shawn then?”

“Nope, I don’t like him.” Leah shook her head.

Rose’s expression turned somewhat peculiar as she thought about her recent illness and how she hadn’t seen much of Shawn during these days. She knew her daughter disliked Shawn because he was Elliot and Madeleine’s son, so she decided not to discuss the matter any further.

Shawn’s face fell when he was rejected. He went back to his room feeling dejected. His toys were taken here from his mom’s house, including his favorite Lego set, but she didn’t like them…

During Rose’s recovery days, Leah was stopped by Shawn several times. The first time was to play with toys together; the second time he gave her flowers from the garden; and the third time he gave her a pretty hair clip. But every single time Leah rejected him.

After being turned down multiple times by the little girl, Shawn felt more and more hurt as well as impatient with himself for wanting to play with Leah.

When Shawn stopped her again this time around, Leah wanted to get angry but then saw that this little boy who looked about her age had turned red in the face while offering her a piece of cake. Her heart softened somehow.

Although Shawn had been bothering her these past few days, it seemed like maybe he really did want to be friends with her.

Mommy said not to overthink someone else’s intentions in case they were genuinely kind-hearted people after all.

Leah lost all of her anger at once and just put on an impatient expression on her face instead. “Shawn, what do you want? I don’t want to play with you! And I don’t want your cake either!”Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

The little boy blushed even more now; even his eyes reddened slightly. “I… I just…”

“Just what?” Leah looked at him curiously

This guy is way too easy to blush! She’d been observing him for quite some time now but hadn’t noticed any resemblance between him and Elliot whatsoever!

What neither child realized was that Rose stood silently observing them from outside their room door.

She never would have thought that Elliot would come here frequently looking Leah.

But after watching this little boy these past few days, she hadn’t seen any of his bad habits – it seemed like he was just an innocent and cute young boy!
