I Had Two Kids With My Ex’s Uncle

Two months later, I married Logan.

Now, I was barely out of postpartum recovery for my second child.

Coming back to the country, I really did not want anything more to do with my old ‘friends’.

I frowned slightly, hoping Rowan would not stir up any more trouble. Otherwise my husband, who was the jealous type, would definitely not let it slide.

…

The next day, I went to the hospital alone for a check-up because of the injury on my face.

Rowan’s eyes lit up the moment he saw me.

“Didn’t you say you weren’t coming? What, still can’t let me go?”

He rushed over in a few quick steps, glancing at my bare face as satisfaction rose in his eyes.

“No makeup for the pregnancy prep? Looks like you actually listened to me.”

I did not respond and walked straight to the department where I had booked an appointment.

Rowan frowned and grabbed my arm.

“IVF is this way. Where are you going?”

I shook him off and waved at the hospital director who was walking toward me.

“The person picking me up has arrived. Where I go has nothing to do with you.”

Rowan followed my gaze and saw the director. His expression changed.

Tara sensed the shift in his mood. She shot me a venomous look and suddenly screamed, pointing at my wristwatch.

“Isn’t that Mr. Logan’s wife’s watch? Linette, when did you steal that?”

Her sharp voice instantly drew everyone’s attention.

“Am I seeing this right? Isn’t that the one-of-a-kind full-diamond watch?”

“It looks like it, but she doesn’t look rich at all.”

“Didn’t you hear? It was stolen. Call security!”

“That watch was specially custom-made by Mr. Logan for his wife. If it’s really stolen, she’s done for. Call the police!”

Even the director slowed his steps and approached Rowan.

“Mr. Rowan, do you know her?”

Rowan froze for a moment. He looked like he was about to speak for me, then he turned his head toward me, as though he was expecting something.

I knew he was waiting for me to ask him for help.

I remained expressionless. I did not want anything to do with him.

Rowan shook his head.

“I don’t know her.”

Tara let out a snort of laughter, like a rooster that had just won a fight.

“Hand over the watch right now, and get out!”

I remained silent.

Tara was frustrated. She lunged at me and grabbed my wrist.

I lost my balance and fell hard backward.

She stepped on my hand and yanked the watch off my wrist.

The watch strap cut deep into my wrist, leaving blood streaming down my arm.

Rowan panicked and moved forward to help me.

However, security had already pushed through the crowd and pinned me down.

I had no choice but to shout, “Let go of me! I’m Logan’s…”

Slap!

Another slap cut me off.

Rowan crouched down in front of me. He lashed out at me in frustration.

“Linette, stop acting crazy! At this rate, I can’t protect you anymore!”

Then, he yanked off his tie, balled it up, and shoved it into my mouth.

“Take her away. Don’t let her embarrass herself here!”

At his command, the guards lifted me up and dragged me away.

Suddenly, the crowd fell silent. Rowan tensed and stepped in front of me, lowering his voice.

“My uncle’s here. Stay quiet.”

Then, it was like he had been possessed. He leaned closer to my ear again.

“Tara went too far today, but don’t worry. I’ll divorce her as long as you behave.

“After the IVF, we can still have our own child…”

He did not get to finish.

Logan had walked up to him.

Rowan pulled me gently into his arms in front of Logan.
