Hunting for His EX-Wife

At that moment, Shawn took the opportunity to collapse into Madeleine’s arms and pressed the unlock button in a direction that Madeleine couldn’t see. Khalil, who was sitting in the back seat and saw Shawn’s actions, nodded towards Elliot on his electronic watch.

The two bodyguards hiding nearby quickly sprang into action. One opened the driver’s door and restrained Madeleine while the other stepped on the brake from the passenger seat. Their cooperation was perfect, causing the business car to stop just in time.

Rose was so scared by this sudden turn of events that she almost stopped breathing. The next second, she rushed over without hesitation. Luckily, when the vehicle stopped, one bodyguard pulled Madeleine out of it while another opened a door to carry four children out.

Rose’s eyes widened when she saw three unharmed children and she couldn’t help but kneel down and hug them tightly as her whole body trembled with fear.

Elliot breathed a sigh of relief as he protected them all around him while comforting Shawn who had been left alone.

“Don’t be afraid; everything is okay.”

As soon as Rose relaxed her guard for a moment though, her vision went black before falling unconscious.

“Rose!”

…

When Rose woke up again later on with bright white light shining in front of her eyes, tears streaming down uncontrollably at first. Her mind was in turmoil, her vision blurred, and she blinked hard to fully wake up and suddenly remembered what she had just gone through.

She sat up abruptly from the bed but winced at intense pain shooting through her right hand which had been supporting herself moments ago.

“The blood flow has reversed; lie down quickly,” came an familiar voice before Elliot pushed gently on Rose’s shoulder until she lay back down again.

Her gaze fixed upon his face as realization dawned upon her. “Are my children alright?”

“Yeah they’re fine,” Elliot replied softly while tucking blankets around Rose carefully, “You should rest now; here is some water.”

“Where are they? Are they hurt?” She continued asking anxiously.

“No, Madeleine didn’t have time to do anything to them. Everything is fine,” Elliot sighed and carefully explained the situation to her. “Madeleine has been sent to prison, and I will make sure she pays for what she did. The children are in the nearby hospital room, they were a bit scared so they had IV drips. I hired a psychologist to counsel them, everything will be okay. You’ve been unconscious for a day and night because of mental stress and exhaustion, so don’t worry too much about being tired after waking up. Take care of yourself.”

Rarely hearing him talk so much at once, Rose blinked a few times and curiously glanced at him. She saw the relaxed and joyful expression on his face, which finally put her at ease.

“I’d like to see the children,” Rose said with hopeful eyes.

Elliot couldn’t resist Rose’s pleading gaze as his heart felt like it was being tickled by soft cat paws; he stood up avoiding her gaze saying, “I’ll bring the kids over.”

A few minutes later, Rose comforted her daughter who was crying with snot and tears running down her face.

It should have been her comforting the children but now things had turned around unexpectedly due to Madeleine’s actions not causing any psychological harm on them.

“Mommy! I never want you to leave me again!” Leah hugged Rose’s arm that wasn’t connected with an IV tube while whining and expressing how attached she was.

After speaking, Leah wiped all of her tears onto Rose’s clothes, making her laugh helplessly before kissing Leah on the forehead.

Rose returned home with Elliot and their children after receiving IV treatment that afternoon.

It wasn’t until spending one day in their villa that she realized something. “Where is Shawn? Why haven’t we seen him?”

Elliot remained expressionless as he replied, “Mr. Fox took him back home.”

“Mr. Fox? Madeleine’s brother?” As soon as Rose lay down on the bed, Elliot embraced her into his arms before simply explaining what happened and kissing her passionately.

The next day, Rose slept until noon. The relationship between the three children and Elliot became even closer, especially with her eldest son Khalil. She didn’t know what they talked about in the study alone, but when they came out, their relationship had become even better.

Rose, of course, was unaware of Khalil’s change of view towards Elliot due to this incident and his temporary acknowledgment of Elliot as the father. She also didn’t know that Khalil had openly admitted his connection to RH, which he had personally established.

The father and son reconciled their past grievances, and their relationship became more natural. Rose was also very happy.

And their married life continued unashamedly for quite some time. One day, with her eyes blindfolded, Rose was led by her three children to the garden of their villa. She walked along, her heart beating rapidly, a premonition causing her to tremble.

The blindfold was removed and she was immediately dazzled by the sight of countless red roses. Her heart beat faster as her eyes and her mind was filled with only the man standing amidst the sea of flowers.

Elliot is holding a bunch of green flowers? Wait, no, it looks like a blade of grass walking towards her.

Rose’s heart was pounding so fast it felt like it was about to burst out of her chest. She could tell from the scene that Elliot was up to something, but through her teary eyes she saw what he was holding in his hand and took a closer look. It turned out to be just a blade of grass after all?

“Rose,” he called her name, walking step by step on the path in the garden, “I love you.”

Rose disregards all other thoughts and her eyes are full of him.

“We have missed out on each other for many years, and I also misunderstood you for so many years. It is my regret and my fault. I am very sorry and feel guilty. But I am grateful to meet you again, which gives us new possibilities. The past is over, and I take it as a lesson learned. I won’t dwell on it anymore; instead, I will keep myself vigilant and be better to you, even better than before.”

“Rose, I love you. All of my emotions are focused on you. Would you like to spend the rest of your life with me?”

Elliot’s face was tightly strained with nervousness, making him look cold and distant. However, Rose noticed his slightly reddened ears and clenched fists, knowing that he was anxious. Her own nerves suddenly relaxed and she nodded with a smile, “Okay. I’m willing.”

Elliot’s face lit up with joy, and he didn’t hide his happiness as he handed her the bundle of grass.

Rose took it over and found out that it was a bunch of mint.

“I love you too, Elliot,” she said.

“Mommy, Papa! We love you too!”

The final scene lingered on Elliot and Rose embracing and kissing while their three children watched with joyous expressions.

A warm and loving life awaited them as a family.NôvelDrama.Org © content.
