The Unveiled Rose novel Chapter 32

"My son told him that if he was willing to drop by, Luna could easily become his mom."

Classic move from that little devil.

I wasn't surprised at all and just bitterly said, "Oh."

Claude stood up. "Do you know why I'm setting up this camera gear?"

"To record the invasion of your privacy. And send it to Leander tomorrow. So Leander can see us together. He'll definitely get over you then!"

After saying this, he strode towards me.

Seeing his determination, I quickly pieced together the information in my head with the scene unfolding before me.

In an instant, I thought of a way out.

I met his gaze without flinching. "So, you and Luna are already divorced, and you're still doing her bidding?"

Claude pushed me hard.

I lost control and fell backward, crashing onto the wooden bed.

Even in his downfall, a man like Claude had his pride!

I bet I wasn't wrong, so I sped up my speech. "Claude, your family has always groomed you to be the successor. So, I believe, even if you're bankrupt now, with your capabilities, climbing back to the top is just a matter of time."

Claude paused, his gaze fixed on me.

He stopped, very close to me.

Looks like I made the right bet!

I breathed a sigh of relief, continuing, "But if you keep wasting your time on Luna... You’re her pawn and even willing to break the law for her. Do you know what awaits you? Are you really going to sacrifice your life for this woman?"

Claude sat down on the edge of the bed. "But..."

He hadn't planned on listening to Luna.

However, Luna promised him that after marrying Leander, she'd give him a sum of money.

After bankruptcy, he was living aimlessly, somewhat recklessly.

In a moment of impulse, he agreed without thinking through the consequences.

After a long while, he murmured, "Can I really get back to where I was?"

Otherwise, how would I enjoy Leander's downfall later?

As expected, Luna spoke in a shy tone, "Guess what this is?"

Leander glanced over casually, then incredulously asked, "You're pregnant?"

"Yeah." Luna's voice was sweet as honey. "After losing Amara's child, you were so sad... I thought it’d be great if I could make you happy. And now, we really did have a child."

Leander stood there, stunned, looking at Luna's belly.

He didn't say a word for a long time.

I sneered inwardly. Leander always stressed that he hadn't been with Luna,

Turns out he lied!

But I stopped caring about that a long time ago.

Now, I just worried he'd think too hard and discover something. So, I stepped inside, breaking his train of thought.

"Leander, didn't you say you'd divorce me after coming back from Claude's?"
