The Ex-Wife’s Billion Dollar Comeback Novel

---- Chapter 192: Visit Jacob ~ Rose ~ Calum and Cedric reported what happened during the meeting at dinner. When Calum mentioned that Ara was pregnant with twins, Rose's eyes widened. She blinked a few times before jealousy hit her. "Wow," she commented. "Jacob is so lucky." Then, Rose frowned. "Ara is so lucky." "Indeed, Jacob is very lucky. Ara seems to be a very special and capable woman," Amanda calmly remarked. "Good people are always blessed." "I'm excited to meet her,' Rose said, faking enthusiasm. Unexpectedly, Amanda stilled. She slowly turned to Rose and smiled.

"I can't wait to hear what you think of her afterward. Do tell me what happens, and what you think about Ara." Amanda's answer left Rose with a strange unease, but Cedric was too quick to move on to the new business of the Montclair Group. "M-Select looks promising. Despite Soraya's busy schedule, she managed to pull it off,' Cedric said, and from then on, Soraya became the main topic during dinner. "Mommy made the website?" Sage excitedly asked. "Yes, Sage. Your mother did an amazing job,' Calum replied with a smile.

"Soraya was always smart and a hard worker," Amanda ---- remarked Calum ended up admitting, "Yes, | remember, Mother. She was also very detailed and organized with work." 'Speaking of Soraya; Rose thought. She hadn't seen her for a while. Where was she hiding? Rose remembered Sage saying her mother had moved far away and was mostly working online. She sighed, thinking, 'I bet she needed to get away from the pain of me and Calum getting married. That's understandable. After dinner, Rose and Calum got ready to sleep.

As they lay on the bed, he updated Melvin about Jacob using the same group chat she was part of. Calum: [Guess what, Jacob's wife is pregnant with twins.] Melvin: [Twins? Wow! Dang, @Jacob Steel. | didn't know you had the 'Twin' gene!] Rose quickly joined in the chat: [Congratulations, Jacob. Say hi to Ara for us. Gosh, when do we get to meet Angela's mysterious mommy?] Melvin: [Yeah, | promise not to steal your Ara. Hahaha!] Melvin's cousin was now part of the chat group. Luke said: [ Congratulations, Jacob.

| wish you more kids to come.] It took a few minutes, but soon Jacob replied: [Thank you @ everyone.] Jacob: [@Luke Actually, | want five kids. So, hopefully, Ara and | will be blessed with two more.] Melvin: [Those are some serious goals, Jacob. | really miss you, man!] ---- Jacob: [Life has been busy for both Ara and me. We had our priorities.] Melvin: [Where are you living right now? Burnell, right? How about we pay you a visit? | heard you were in an accident.] Jacob: [Yes, but I'll be discharged from the hospital tomorrow. Melvin: [So, we will visit you in your home.

Where do you even live there?] Rose: [That's a great idea! I'd really love to meet Ara!] "It's not a good idea right now, Rose. We still have problems with Maison de R," Calum said beside her. Rose turned to her husband, begging, "Calum, please. | could really use a stress reliever right now. A trip to nature would be a good idea. Besides, I'm really intrigued by... Ara." In the chat group, Jacob took his time responding. It took almost five minutes before he typed another message. Jacob: [Sure, I'm glad to welcome you here in Burnell. Give me six weeks, though.

I'd like to meet everyone with both of my legs working, purely for self-defense reasons.] Rose: [Self-defense? You are being funny, Jacob.] Melvin: [727] Beside Rose, Calum also raised a brow, bemused. Jacob, however, soon replied: [You never know. Some reunions can get... emotionally physical.] Melvin: [Well, | do have a few things to finish. | guess next month is more appropriate.] ---- Calum: [The first hearing for the lawsuit against my uncle and his family is scheduled for next week. We'll probably have several meetings with the lawyers as well. | agree.

Next month works better.) Melvin: [You are coming, Calum?] Calum: [Why not? I'd like to visit Jacob and Angela.] Jacob: [Then, | will prepare for your visit. You don't need to worry about accommodation. | live within the power plant, Nexa Power, and the plant has its own hotel.] Luke: [Can | come?] Jacob: [Sure, Luke. If you promise to back me up.] Luke: [Mr. Steel, I'm your number one fan!] Rose and Calum were confused at Jacob's words, but they both thought this was just the new Jacob-a married man, a happier man. So, they did not think much about it.

"| can't wait to see Jacob again and meet his beloved wife. Perhaps she can give me tips about having twins," Rose beamed, but when she said that, Calum didn't react. Her husband simply turned off the bedside lamp and gave her his back as he dozed off for the night. Seeing Calum's actions, Rose's heart tightened. Her husband may be lying beside her every night, but for many days now, the bed felt cold, so cold. She wondered if it would ever get better. seek ~ Soraya ~ Soraya had just closed her online trade and shut down her ---- laptop.

Jacob's gaze lingered on her as he revealed, "Melvin, Calum, Luke, and Rose will be visiting us next month." She blinked. Soraya turned to Jacob and asked, "Why?" "It's about time, don't you think? You don't want Calum to ruin our wedding. At least, he should take the blow before our grand celebration," Jacob reasoned. "But, Jacob, | don't trust Rose. What if she does something to me?" Soraya pointed out. "I'll make sure she doesn't," Jacob said.

He averted her gaze and revealed, "Besides, | have a few things to tell Calum about Rose." But long before Jacob's friends could learn about their relationship, a figure thought loyal to Calum would inadvertently uncover their secret. The truth was emerging, inch by inch, and yet the question remained: were Jacob and Soraya truly ready?
