Hunting for His EX-Wife

The two kids sat down on chairs outside the hospital room to rest. Old Mr. Harper had just found out what was going on and breathed a sigh of relief, but his face turned unpleasant with anger as he leaned on his cane and walked out, followed by his assistant.

He had rushed in earlier and noticed the two kids outside. After hearing what his assistant said, he realized that Shawn’s hospitalization today was related to these two children. He became furious and stormed out without any regard for anything else.

The siblings saw the old man approaching them with a fierce expression and quickly stood up, feeling guilty as they looked at him.

But when old Mr. Harper got a closer look at their faces, he was shocked beyond belief. He stared at them without blinking an eye.

These were… twins! They looked exactly alike!

His assistant opened his mouth to say something but then closed it again since he didn’t know what to say about this strange behavior from old Mr. Harper.

The old man continued staring intently at Sean and Leah without blinking an eye.

These two children were identical twins. He had seen Leah before; she was Rose’s child, so this little boy must also be Rose’s child!

Unbelievable! Rose actually gave birth to two children with another man! And she still occupied Mrs. Harper’s position? This is simply shameful!

“You…,” old Mr. Harper spoke through gritted teeth, almost losing control of himself as anger surged within him while looking at these twin siblings who reminded him so much of Rose.

“Is your mother Rose?” His tone sounded strange and angry which made Leah shudder in fear because she remembered seeing this same old man glaring fiercely at her mom before in the villa; it was too scary!Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

Sean stepped forward calmly blocking Leah behind him while looking up into the eyes of the old man with bright eyes that showed no respect or trust but rather alertness mixed with feigned calmness.

If this old guy dared lay hands on either him or Leah. then don’t blame him for getting back at the old man!

Sean thought with determination and positioned himself firmly in front. His tone was impatient as he asked, “What do you want?”

The old Mr. Harper’s face darkened even further. No one had spoken to him like that in years, especially not a child. The realization that these two children were the offspring of Rose and another man, implying that Rose had betrayed Elliot, pushed him over the edge. He couldn’t control his anger and raised his cane to strike at the two kids.

Rose, who had rushed over, finally saw the faces of her son and daughter and witnessed the impending attack from the old Mr. Harper. With a fierce determination she hadn’t shown before, she rushed in at an incredible speed and pulled her children behind her, standing protectively in front of them. She demanded, “What do you think you’re doing?”

When old Mr. Harper saw her coming, both new and old grudges surged up in his heart. He paused his cane for a moment before swinging it towards Rose.

Behind her were two children, and behind the children was a row of seats. Rose had no way to retreat, and if she did, the two children would be in danger. Without hesitation, she stood there and turned around to hold both children in her arms.

As they watched the cane about to fall heavily on Rose’s back, Sean and Leah cried out in shock and tried to reach out their hands to stop it. “Mommy!”

“Don’t hit my mommy!”

Rose felt no pain at all, and she was relieved to find that the two little ones in her arms were unharmed.

The assistant next to them also breathed a sigh of relief, barely noticeable.

Looking up, it was Elliot who stopped the cane and protected Rose.

“Grandpa, enough is enough.”

Elliot let go of the old man’s hand and placed his cane on the ground, his tone somewhat complicated.

“You wretched child! You dare to help her stop me!” Old Mr. Harper was so infuriated that his face contorted. The deeply lined face turned a deep shade of red as he berated Elliot without any restraint. “My grandson was harmed because of them! And you’re actually siding with them! Elliot, do you even have a brain?”

Elliot pursed his lips and remained silent for a moment.

Rose realized that the immediate crisis had been averted. She quickly pulled her children a few steps to the side, putting some distance between them and old Mr. Harper. If he had actually struck her children, she wouldn’t have hesitated to lose her respect for the elderly, and there might have been consequences if she had gotten back at him as well.

She would never tolerate her child being bullied by anyone!

Elliot silently glanced at Rose’s actions, and his deep-set eyes glinted with complicated emotions. He remained silent for a few seconds before speaking, his voice calm, “I’ve heard about what happened today; it was just an accident. Grandfather shouldn’t have resorted to violence. They are just children.”

He had witnessed the old Mr. Harper’s actions when he arrived at the hospital himself.

Even if Elliot didn’t like the children Rose had with the other man, he would never lay a hand on them.

“Wow, you! You really want to protect them, protect this Rose! Elliot, you are a member of my Harper family. You are helping outsiders to go against your grandfather. Do you have no conscience? Do you know what your identity is?” old Mr. Harper was even more furious, his old eyes suddenly burst out with sharp light towards Rose and the two children beside her. However, her two children were protected behind her and naturally did not see old Mr. Harper’s dark and vicious face.

Rose wanted to say something back, but the two children were still there and she didn’t want them to hear these upsetting things, so she ended up keeping quiet.

However, she cast a faint glance towards Elliot, suppressing the deep-seated hope and reliance within her heart.

Old Mr. Harper even said, “You are still protecting her, you forget that this woman cheated on you and betrayed our Harper family! You dump this shameless woman as soon as possible. She doesn’t deserve our family and you, so I’ll find you another suitable wife, and you must divorce her ASAP!”

The words of old Mr. Harper made Elliot’s face instantly unplesant, while Rose beside him looked at them with a blank expression, completely unaware of what they were talking about.

“What do you mean? I betrayed you? Elliot, please make it clear to me, did I betray you?”

Rose heard about betrayal and divorce, and she actually wanted a divorce, but she didn’t know why Elliot disagreed and when she had betrayed him.

Elliot kept his mouth shut, with his lips pressed into a straight line. His face was as gloomy as the eve of an impending storm.
