Hunting for His EX-Wife

Rose was confused after listening to his words. What job application information? When did she apply for Harper Group? It made no sense! “You got it wrong, I never posted any job seeking information.”

The assistant was also confused. “If you didn’t post any information, how did we receive it?”

Rose furrowed her brows and immediately opened the recruitment software to check her profile.

She found out that she had indeed posted job seeking information this morning and applied for the nanny position of the Harper family! She stared at these messages in confusion and felt lost.

But in the next second, when she saw the section on special skills that said she was good at making Tempoyak Patin, she suddenly understood what was going on. Only her three children knew that she could make Tempoyak Patin. And now it must be her daughter who wanted to hire a nanny like her.

As soon as Rose thought of this, an inexplicable panic rose inside and her hand holding the phone tightened unconsciously. Could it be that Elliot had discovered Leah’s identity? Her heart tightened and Rose promptly said, “Okay, I’ll come over right away.”

…

In Harper Villa, Elliot lazily sat on the sofa with his eyes lifted towards a little girl sitting opposite him. “Did you choose your own nanny?”

“No,” replied the little girl calmly before turning to look at Elliot assistant. “Uncle said only one person met all our requirements.”

Elliot’s voice remained cold as he asked, “Where is she?”

The assistant looked nervously at Mr. Harper before answering, “She will be here soon. I hope Mr. Harper can remain calm when meeting with her.”

Upon hearing this statement from his assistant, Elliot frowned slightly while a hint of doubt flashed through his eyes.

What kind of person would make him lose composure?

Just as he was wondering about it, an attractive figure hurriedly walked through the front door.

Upon spotting that familiar figure, Elliot’s pupils contracted, and he swiftly rose, striding forward. He hadn’t expected this woman to come knocking on his door herself. Last time at the hotel, she’d hit him and escaped. Afterward, he couldn’t find her anywhere…

As for Rose, the moment she entered the lobby, her eyes fell upon Leah sitting on the couch.

Just as she was about to approach, her wrist was tightly grasped by someone. In that moment, Elliot’s large hand firmly held onto her delicate wrist, his gaze profound.

When Rose snapped back to her senses, her gaze locked onto the man’s inquisitive expression. An immediate wave of annoyance surged within her. Fuming, she demanded, “Let go!”

She had rushed here without using the holographic projection her son gave her, so she appeared in front of Elliot in her true form.

Meanwhile, Leah, who was sitting on the sofa, saw what was happening and feared that Mommy might accidentally reveal their identity. So she preemptively spoke up, “Let go of her! She is a nanny that Uncle Assistant found for me!”

Elliot was stunned. He furrowed his brow and asked suspiciously, “Is this woman really the new nanny?

Immediately, Elliot pieced together what his assistant had just mentioned. The person who had disrupted his composure was none other than the woman standing before him at this moment… Indeed, the remarkable resemblance between this woman and Rose was enough to throw him off balance!

As soon as Elliot voiced his confusio, Leah quickly nodded to confirm.

The next second, after that confirmation from Leah came a soft voice from within the living room.

“Auntie! You’re so pretty!”

Leah finished speaking and pointed to the assistant standing beside them.

“This is the assistant,” said Leah. “He called you earlier asking you to come take care of me. From now on, please take good care of me.”This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

After saying these words while making sure neither Elliot nor his assistant were looking at them directly anymore… she winked secretly at Rose.

Mommy… you must cooperate with me!

I’m doing all this for your own good!

Rose looked at her daughter winking mischievously and gradually calmed down from her initial impulsiveness as she began analyzing their current situation more clearly.

Elliot was still unaware of Leah’s identity, let alone the fact that Leah was her daughter. His current agitation stemmed from his own doubts. The matter regarding Leah being her daughter must remain concealed at all costs, or else their mother-daughter connection would arouse Elliot’s suspicions.

If that happened, the situation would become even more complicated. Rose’s mind raced, swiftly analyzing the current scenario. Once she had a clear understanding, she smiled and nodded at the little girl.

“It won’t be any trouble.”

Meanwhile Elliot continued staring intently at Rose since he couldn’t understand why someone who had been avoiding him would suddenly show up applying for a job as a nanny for the Harper family…

There must be some secret he didn’t know about… Elliot fell silent for a moment before his cold voice came out of his mouth. “No, you can’t choose her as your new nanny,” he said firmly to Leah.

Leah widened her eyes in surprise at the unexpected objection from her father. She pouted and asked, “Why not?”

Elliot replied arrogantly, “There’s no reason.” He seemed determined to replace the nanny with someone else.

But Leah was not going to let him have his way so easily. She frowned and sat back down on the sofa with her arms crossed. “I want her as my nanny,” she insisted.

“No, you don’t,” Elliot retorted sharply.

But Leah was not backing down either. She threatened him by saying, “If I can’t have her as my nanny, then I won’t help you pass that level!”

Elliot sighed deeply but decided to tolerate this little brat for now since she still had some use for him. He glanced over at the woman who was still glaring at him with displeasure and raised an eyebrow thoughtfully.

Well… maybe keeping Serena around as the nanny wouldn’t be such a bad thing after all. They would be living under the same roof, so he wouldn’t have to go searching for her everywhere anymore. And if he could find an opportunity to see that mole on Serena’s thigh… then he could prove once and for all that this woman really was Rose! Then let’s see how far she could escape!
