Trick Him Into Divorce, Then Flee With His Unknow Kid novel Chapter 394

Chapter 394: Chapter 394 The Question Everyone Was Waiting For

A crowd had already gathered around Ryan and Charlotte.

Everyone seemed genuinely excited by Ryan’s arrival, greeting him enthusiastically and making room for the two of them.

Charlotte stood beside him, looking every bit as composed and self-assured as she had earlier that day.

Alicia couldn’t help staring at her.

There was something about Charlotte’s posture and manner that made it obvious she’d grown up surrounded by wealth and privilege.

Rose, meanwhile, could only sigh inwardly.

Seriously?

Of all the people she could have run into tonight, it had to be them again.

“Charlotte?”

Diana’s voice pulled Rose out of her thoughts.

Rose looked at her.

“What?”

Diana leaned closer.

“You know my boyfriend, Liam. I introduced you two before, but I never told you much about his family.”

She glanced toward Charlotte.

“She’s his cousin.”

Rose wasn’t surprised.

So that’s how they’re connected.

The Mercer name wasn’t exactly common, especially among families who moved in their circles.

Alicia finally spoke up.

“Mr. Mercer? I’ve heard of him.”

As if summoned by the mention of his name, a tall, handsome man emerged from the crowd.

The moment he spotted Diana, his face lit up.

He walked straight over.

Without hesitation, he took her hand and wrapped both of his around it.

“Why aren’t you wearing a warmer coat?”

Diana laughed.

“It’s not that cold.”

Liam gave her a disapproving look.

“You always say that.”

Then he gently rubbed her fingers between his palms.

“Keep ignoring me. You’ll be complaining about a headache again tomorrow.”

Diana rolled her eyes, but the smile on her face gave her away.

Anyone could see how close they were.

Rose had always known Diana and Liam’s relationship was serious.

A good relationship could change a person.

Diana had never been treated particularly well within the Robinson family, often overlooked in favor of the more prominent members. But Liam had always made her feel important.

Even when they were living in different countries, they’d talked every single day.

Now that he was finally back in America, Rose could tell how happy Diana was.

Liam turned toward her.

“It’s been a while.”

He gave Rose a warm smile.

Rose had always liked him.

Anyone who treated Diana this well automatically earned her goodwill.

“How long are you staying this time?” she asked.

“I don’t think I’m going anywhere.”

Liam glanced at Diana.

“I think it’s time we finally got married.”

Diana’s cheeks immediately turned pink.

She shot him an embarrassed look before pinching his side.

Liam raised an eyebrow but didn’t stop her.

Rose laughed.

“It’s about time.”

Diana glared at her.

“Don’t encourage him.”

Liam suddenly pointed toward Charlotte.

“That’s my cousin. Should I introduce you?”

Rose’s smile faded slightly.

“There’s no need.”

She shook her head.

“There are so many people here. We don’t have to formally meet everyone.”

She didn’t mention that she’d already met Charlotte earlier that day.

Liam didn’t think anything of it.

He simply went to grab a warmer coat for Diana.

Rose looked across the room.

Ryan and Charlotte were talking.

Even Charlotte, who normally carried herself with an almost intimidating confidence, seemed noticeably softer around him.

It was obvious she liked him.

Very much.

People around them were already joking about the two families becoming related.

To everyone here, the match seemed almost inevitable.

Diana glanced worriedly at Rose.

But Rose appeared completely unaffected.

She was standing by the dessert table, carefully deciding which dessert she wanted.

Alicia also looked toward Ryan and Charlotte several times.

Eventually, she couldn’t hold back.

“Rose, you really don’t care?”

Rose picked up a plate.

“Care about what?”

“Shouldn’t you at least go over and say hello?”

“No.”

Rose calmly chose a slice of cheesecake.

“We’ve both moved on. We have our own lives now.”

Alicia stared at her.

She seemed to want to say something but stopped herself.

She lowered her gaze to her phone and pressed her lips together.

How could Rose be so calm?

Was she really going to sit here and watch Ryan get together with another woman?

Rose had no intention of competing with Charlotte.

Ryan was going to remarry eventually.

That was his business.
