Hunting for His EX-Wife

The next morning, the four of them were sitting at the dining table having breakfast when the assistant arrived.

The assistant placed a document in front of Elliot and said seriously, “Mr. Harper, our cooperation with RH has progressed to the next stage.”

“RH informed us that we have entered the third round and Mr. Ingram from RH will personally come to our Harper Group for an on-site inspection.”

Elliot asked in a deep voice, “When?”

“Now,” replied the assistant awkwardly before quickly recovering. “Mr. Ingram from RH is already here and this was a last-minute notice from them.”

Elliot lightly tapped his fingers on the table and looked over at Leah who was sitting across from him.

“RH’s people are here and I need you to come with me to pass the level.”

Upon hearing this, Rose furrowed her brows in confusion as she looked at her daughter beside her. “What level exactly?”

Leah nervously pursed her lips before finally looking up at her mother.

“I’m helping his company sign contracts with other companies.”

After sizing up Leah for a moment, Rose suddenly realized how capable her daughter really was.

Now she understood why Elliot had decided to keep Leah around after all.

She reached out and touched Leah’s head while smiling saying, “Leah is really amazing!”

“Mommy is even more amazing!” replied little Leah as she lifted up her innocent face towards Rose.

Elliot who was sitting across from them frowned slightly upon hearing their conversation before asking curiously, “You don’t know about this?”

Leah glanced over at her daddy then back towards her mommy with mischievous glint in her eyes.

Mommy didn’t know about many thing. For example, she didn’t know Daddy was trying to reach cooperation with her eldest son.

Khalil had told Leah earlier that someone would be coming over to discuss cooperation matters, so when Daddy said he wanted herself to go along too, she wasn’t surprised one bit.

After finishing breakfast, the group of four headed towards Harper Group but when they arrived, RH’s people hadn’t shown up yet.

Rose held onto Leah’s hand, standing behind Elliot without any curiosity whatsoever.

She only came along because she wanted to be by her daughter’s side.

Not long after, a car stopped in front of the Harper Group building. The security guard at Harper Group approached and opened the door for the man sitting in the back seat.

A man in his thirties stepped out of the car. He was wearing a custom-made black suit, with a slender figure, sharp eyebrows and charming eyes, and a straight nose bridge. He looked like a handsome man.

Leah recognized him immediately and her eyes widened with surprise. She exclaimed loudly, “Daddy Ingram!”

Before anyone could react, she ran towards him.

Rose saw him and her face lit up with joy. She walked over to greet him, “Lawrence.”

Lawrence Ingram stood still and looked at Rose with affectionate eyes as he said gently, “Rose, it’s been so long.”

The three of them were very warm and harmonious together but this scene seemed to have completely changed its meaning when seen through Elliot’s eyes.

The little girl called him Daddy?

She was his daughter?

Elliot frowned deeply as his face darkened instantly.

Feeling Elliot’s cold aura around him made the assistant shiver involuntarily but he went forward bravely introducing both big shots to each other.

“Mr. Harper, this is Lawrence Ingram.”

After saying that, the assistant turned towards Lawrence who was standing beside them, “Mr. Ingram, this is Mr. Elliot Harper from Harper Group.”

Lawrence smiled faintly,”Hello, Mr. Harper.”

Elliot suppressed his annoyance inside himself before responding coldly, “Hello, Mr. Ingram.”

He stared intently at this man before pausing briefly, then tried to control his expression as much as possible while asking casually, “So, you know my wife?”

Actually what Elliot really wanted to ask was – why Rose’s daughter called you Daddy Ingram? Are you really her biological father? But instead he just asked about their acquaintance.

Lawrence replied calmly without noticing any hostility from Elliot’s tone or expression, “I met Rose abroad. We are best friends.”From NôvelDrama.Org.

“Is that so?” Elliot’s expression grew colder with the man’s words, his hands clenched tightly. “I see Mr. Ingram and Leah have a good relationship too.”

“Of course we do, I’m Leah’s godfather,” Lawrence said with a smirk, as if he could read Elliot’s thoughts.

Elliot was taken aback, the chill in his eyes subsiding slightly but still scanning back and forth between them with half-belief.

He didn’t believe this man had no interest in Rose. Just now, that look in his eyes was clearly… the gaze of someone who likes another person.

Elliot hesitated while Lawrence spoke again in a gentle voice that interrupted his thoughts.

“And I’ve always regarded Rose as my goddess, full of admiration for her,” Lawrence smiled like spring breeze and looked at Rose tenderly. “I’m pursuing her and hope to be the one to grow old together with her someday.”

Elliot’s face softened somewhat but quickly darkened again when he heard this.

He stared coldly at the man standing before him and spoke in an icy tone like a demon from hell, “Unfortunately she is already my wife.”

Lawrence remained calm despite Elliot’s response; he smiled nonchalantly while gazing into Elliot’s eyes which were filled with anger. “It doesn’t matter; I can wait until she gets divorced.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Rose felt Elliot’s face turn even colder than before when they both stood there silently for some time.

Rose wondered what was going on between these two men? They just met each other yet it seemed like they were fighting an invisible battle here!

Rose sighed inwardly, then grabbed Leah by the hand, saying, “Let’s go inside first.”

After saying this, she hurried away holding onto Leah tightly leaving those two men behind them staring at each other intently without uttering another word.

Leah followed her mommy into the building while looking back towards her daddy and godfather whose expressions showed their intense emotions towards her mommy.

In the Harper Group office, Elliot sat at the head of the table watching Rose and Leah suspiciously.

RH turned out to be Rose’s friend’s company!

Did they really not know about Harper Group’s collaboration with RH?

The man’s deep gaze fell upon Leah, causing her to almost nervously avert her eyes. But then she quickly regained her composure and began to act.

She looked at her father with a surprised expression and exclaimed, “Wow, what a coincidence! Uncle Elliot’s company is actually working with my godfather’s company!”
