Return, My Love: Wooing the Neglected Ex-Wife

Chapter 630:

Joelle dragged Liza forward. “Let’s just get straight to the point. You only want Ryland for his blood, isn’t that true?”

Joelle’s face was hard and resolute, her fear long forgotten.

“This woman is ready to serve as a blood donor. Just return Ryland to me, and we can all live peacefully. If not, no one will be spared.”

Chris grimaced, his cries breaking through as he struggled with pain. Without a second’s delay, Wade barked a command to his aides, his voice tight with tension.

“Bring Ryland here.”

He then continued, maintaining his stern demeanor. “Let Chris go first. If he suffers any harm, Ryland will pay the price twice over.”

With a scoff, Adrian casually lifted his foot.

Roughly ten minutes later, a car skidded to a stop at the entrance. Before the door even swung open, Joelle heard sobbing from inside.

At last, she was about to be reunited with Ryland. Unable to contain herself, Joelle moved irresistibly toward the source of the sobs.

As the car door opened, a nanny stepped out, cradling a three-year-old boy. Seeing the situation, the nanny hesitated to approach, let alone bring the child closer. The boy was wearing a hat, obscuring part of his face.

Before Joelle could get a good look at the child, Wade seized him by the arm.

“Let Chris go.”

Joelle’s throat tightened, and her body teetered on the edge of collapse. Her hands, trembling and cautious, reached out as the child’s cries gnawed at her already frayed nerves.

“Hand Ryland over to me first!” she demanded, her voice thick with urgency.

Wade’s response was a fierce snarl.

“No, give me Chris first!”

Breathing heavily, Joelle realized there was no time to lose.

“Adrian, let him go,” she said, her voice desperate.

As they each took steps in opposite directions, Wade pointed towards Liza and barked, “And bring that woman here too!”noveldrama

The nanny, carrying the child, slowly approached Joelle. However, before they could get any closer, Allie, standing next to Rafael, made a sudden dash forward and grabbed the child.

“Allie!” Rafael shouted after her, but Allie paid him no heed and turned to Joelle with a desperate plea in her eyes.

“Joelle, you already have one child. Please, could you let me take this one? I promise I’ll take good care of him.”

Joelle’s gaze was locked on the child, who continued to cry. Allie, inexperienced as a mother, held him awkwardly, and Joelle’s anxiety surged.

Meanwhile, Wade suddenly broke into a run toward Chris.

“Chris!”

Losing his strength, Chris collapsed halfway through. Wade immediately rushed to his side to help him up. Liza was frozen on her feet, startled by the commotion. But Wade shouted in her face, “Get in the car, now!”
