Hunting for His EX-Wife

After seeing off Rose and the others, Elliot returned to the hospital room where he was met with the angry face of old Mr. Harper. The look in his eyes seemed to be that of a disappointed grandparent looking at an unruly child. “What are you trying to do?” he asked.

Elliot didn’t even bother looking up, his voice monotone and cold as he replied, “Grandfather, what did I tell you before? And what have you done just now?”

Old Mr. Harper’s eyes flickered for a moment as guilt crept into his heart. He didn’t want to speak but seeing Elliot’s expression made him furious. “What kind of expression is that? So what if you said something? Did I promise anything? Stop giving me that attitude!”

As he spoke, he became more agitated and forgot that he was still a patient in the hospital bed. He continued yelling at Elliot, “Besides, that’s my own great-grandson and great-granddaughter! You, you scoundrel, know nothing at all. I had to send people to find out for me. It’s been such a long time, what on earth have you been up to? You couldn’t even keep them around! It caused me to not be able to see those two kids either! You’re infuriating me!”

Elliot’s eyelid twitched as he thought about Rose’s current attitude towards him. It left him feeling somewhat helpless and frustrated. And then there were those two kids… they were his and Rose’s children!

A couple of days ago, Elliot received a call from old Mr. Harper. He came straight to the hospital from his office, not expecting what old Mr. Harper had for him – DNA test result reports. The results revealed that Leah and Sean, those two siblings, were his son and daughter.

Elliot had never expected this situation at all. He stood there, stunned, for a long time before it finally sank in. A tremendous wave of ecstasy washed over him, causing his entire being to tremble. His mind was consumed by a single thought: he wanted to go back right now and see Rose, see his two biological children.

Just when he couldn’t wait any longer to leave, old Mr. Harper stopped him reminding Elliot about one important thing: Rose had been hiding the two children for a long period since she returned to her home country. She initially kept them hidden from him, and it wasn’t until recently that he accidentally discovered this fact. She refused to acknowledge it and was adamant about keeping him away from the children.

Since they were his children, why did she not want him to know or see them? Because she wanted a divorce, and leave with their children.

Just thinking about it made Elliot’s heart clench involuntarily, a dull pain spreading through him and causing his handsome face to sink. “Alright. I’ll win her back,” Elliot silently stood there, feeling the emotions in his heart. This feeling had been present since Rose had mentioned divorce, but after spending such a happy and relaxed half-month with her, Elliot didn’t dare to hear her ask for a divorce again.

“Earlier, it was my fault for treating her badly, giving her a hard time. But now that she’s given birth to two children for our Harper family, I don’t object to your relationship anymore. The kids are still young, so make sure to bring them to visit me often. When you go back, have a heart-to-heart talk with Rose. Don’t let me spend the rest of my time feeling miserable. Do you hear me?”

Elliot suppressed the sourness in his heart.”I’ll have someone perform surgery on you; everything will be fine.”Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“What do you mean ‘everything will be fine’? I know my own situation. Besides, at my age, I’ve had too many complications from surgeries, didn’t you hear what the doctors said? It’s better to live these days pain-free and die peacefully than to live in agony for a while longer. ” Old Mr. Harper’s face turned red as he glared at Elliot.

“Alright then, I’ve decided, so don’t say anything more. The Harper Group will be in your hands from now on, and I trust you completely to handle it. I used to be so strict with you because I wanted to make sure you didn’t get too caught up in romantic affairs. But now that there’s someone to carry on, I’m not worried about these things anymore.”

Old Mr. Harper talked endlessly with Elliot while Madeleine stood outside by the wall in shock as she covered her mouth in disbelief. She couldn’t believe what she had just heard from the conversation between them.

What did he mean by Rose’s children being Elliot’s children?

How could Rose’s twin babies possibly be Elliot’s children?

It couldn’t be true!

Madeleine ran away pale-faced and unsteady.

Rose took her kids shopping, bought lots of clothes, and even bought two sets of clothes for Khalil which were to be sent abroad. Then, she took both kids over Valentin’s house.

Sean, who hadn’t had a chance to notify Khalil, could only watch as his mom and Khalil stood at the door staring at each other.

“Ahem. How did Khalil come back? Mom, let’s go inside first?” Sean interrupted the awkward silence and spoke up.

Rose didn’t hear her youngest son’s words and was surprised to see Khalil. “Khalil, why did you come back home? Why didn’t you tell me? What happened? Did you come back alone?”

Khalil blinked his eyes and glanced at his younger brother before nodding helplessly. “I missed Mommy so I came back to visit. And it’s been so long since you’ve seen me, don’t you miss me too? I wanted to surprise you!”

Rose immediately melted in her heart and hurriedly picked up her eldest son as they walked inside. “Of course Mommy misses you! I miss you so much! Now that we’re all together again as a family. But how did you come back? Who accompanied you back? The nanny?” Rose inquired about the nanny who had stayed abroad to take care of Khalil before she returned to her home country.

Naturally, Khalil shook his head and pushed the responsibility onto Valentin. “Mommy, it was… uhh… Valentin who brought me back home. I missed all of you so much that I had to come see you! Where are Sean, Leah and you are living now? Can I live with you too? Valentin said that you don’t live here!”

Leah happily shouted for her big brother with excitement because she loved him very much.

However, Sean couldn’t bear watching how soft-spoken Khalil acted like a spoiled child in front of their mother – especially since he always acted tough around strangers.

“I am living somewhere else with your siblings right now but if you’re here, then we’ll live together again.” Rose put Elliot aside but Sean reminded her that someone would be coming later on today to pick them up which made Rose feel worried…

If Elliot were to find out about Khalil’s existence…

And the unusual behavior they displayed today at the hospital when it came to themselves and the children left her feeling somewhat uneasy.
