Chapter 57
Hearing that, Rodney opened his eyes and looked over. He also found Amber and Mel. Why did Pierce leave the child behind? Wasn’t the child of Pierce? Thinking that Amber had said that he was a single mother in the blind date program, he frowned and ordered Deon, “Let’s go and have a look!”
Amber put Mel on the seat and ordered a six-inch Besa according to Mel’s taste. He ordered two cups of juice and a snack dish. Mel was very happy and buried herself in eating.
Amber watched him wolf down his food and smiled. “Slow down. Drink some drinks. Don’t choke!”
“Mom, eat!” Mel ate a piece of Besa. Seeing that Amber did not move, Mel handed the Besa to Amber’s mouth.
“I won’t eat it! I’ll watch you eat it!”
“I want mom to eat with me!” Mel insisted. Amber had to take a bite of his hand.
Mel took another bite, and her little face was full of smiles. “Is it delicious?”
“It’s delicious!”
Rodney went straight to Amber’s and Mel’s seats and sat down. He casually ordered a snack dish and a ten-inch-long Passat.
He wasn’t in the mood to eat, so he had been paying attention to Amber’s movements. He could clearly hear the conversation between the mother and son.
Hearing Mel call Amber ‘Mom’, he was shocked. He subconsciously looked at Deon and found that Deon was also looking at him. Both of their eyes were full of surprise.
Amber’s voice was so gentle, with a kind of natural maternal nature. Rodney looked at her and Mel’s back in a daze, with mixed feelings. “Why does this child call her mother? Is she a mistress?”
Mel was full, and Amber took him away. Just two steps later, a figure came out in front of him. Amber was shocked. Rodney’s eyes were full of inquiry, and he stared at Mel. “Your child?” © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
“Yes!” Amber spat out a word and strode away with Mel in his arms.
Her figure disappeared, and Rodney was still standing still. Just now, he saw very clearly that the child looked very similar to her. His big eyes, long eyelashes, and pink and tender face were exactly the same.
There were huge waves in his heart. The sentence he asked was really made with great courage, and he only hoped to hear her denial.
Unfortunately, Amber didn’t deny it. She said yes firmly.
When he heard Amber say the word “yes” out of his mouth, he felt his heart fall. It was so empty, as if he had lost something.
She was already a mother? Didn’t she not know how to give birth? What was going on? It was said that a boy looked like a mother, and the child inherited 100% of her beauty genes. If he had doubted it before, then after seeing the child’s appearance, all his doubts had been confirmed. It was indeed her child! She was with another man’s child!
Rodney returned to the car with a blank expression. His wife, who had not been pregnant for three years, had a beautiful son after the divorce. This was undoubtedly a kind of irony for him!
Amber hurriedly carried Mel out of the Bosa Shop and stopped a taxi to go home. On the way, his heart beat fast.
This child was an accident. She had taken so many drugs that year, but there was no movement at all. She was already desperate in her heart and had never taken any more medicine since then.
The day before Celia came to her, she found that her old friend had been delayed for ten days. With an unbelievable attitude, she went to the pharmacy to buy a drug store.
It turned out to be a red line. She couldn’t believe it at all, so she went to the nearest hospital for a check-up and confirmed that she was pregnant.
At that time, she was so ecstatic that she immediately called him. After waiting for a long time, he answered the call, but it was a few cold words. He was so busy that he told her not to disturb him.
After hanging up the phone, she turned around and met Celia. She arrogantly gave her a pregnancy report with her big belly.
When she saw the signature of Rodney on the pregnancy test report, she hated him to the extreme. She felt that the world had collapsed!
She remembered what had happened that day very clearly, but she had never been willing to think about it. That kind of pain, that kind of humiliation, she would never think about it for the rest of her life!
Amber hugged Mel tightly! Rodney’s sudden appearance had scared everyone to death! Why was he always appearing like a ghost recently?
She was sure that Rodney had just seen Mel’s face. Would he be suspicious? She looked at her son carefully. Probably because he was still young, he looked very similar to her. He didn’t look like Rodney. He felt a little relieved. She wouldn’t give birth to a child and everyone would know about it. He wouldn’t doubt it!
Even if he didn’t doubt it, she still had to think of a solution. Only in this way could she ensure that he wouldn’t know the truth for the rest of his life.
Amber rushed home with Mel in his arms. Beneath the new home, he saw a cool car park.
That day, Amber had been asking for leave and didn’t go to work after being disturbed by Rodney. Elliot was also embarrassed to see her. Amber was the first woman who dared to refuse him, and also the first woman who made him sad.
He loved and hated her, and in the end, he loved her more than hatred.
He was a big man and she was a little woman. A big man could afford to let go of her. He couldn’t argue with a little woman. Thinking of this, Elliot finally found enough reasons for himself.
Elliot waited downstairs for several hours, but Amber’s figure gradually became impatient. He was about to leave when he saw a taxi coming in. Amber got out of the car with Mel in his arms.
When he saw Amber and Mel opening the car door for Elliot, he looked impatient. “Where have you been?”
“We’re going to see Uncle Pierce off!” Mel answered in a childish voice.
“That kid, Pierce, is so mysterious that he didn’t tell me when he left. Does he really want you guys to send him off?” Elliot said this deliberately. He knew that Pierce must have gone back because Madam Hammond was ill. He deliberately said this to find a topic to talk about, but he still felt embarrassed when he saw Amber.
“Uncle Pierce isn’t a kid!” Mel’s face fell. Uncle Mr. Thomson had called him kid whenever he saw him at Uncle Pierce’s place. But now, he called him kid. He was so rude!
“He is not a boy. You are!” Elliot reached out and pinched Mel’s face. He clicked his tongue and said, “This little bun is your son. I thought it was Pierce’s illegitimate child! I wanted him to be lucky at that time!”
“Uncle, what is an illegitimate child?” Mel asked in a childish voice.
“An illegitimate child is…”
“Elliot!” Amber interrupted him angrily. Looking at Amber’s angry face, Elliot smiled awkwardly. “Amber, is he your ex-husband’s child or your illegitimate child?”
“You can’t spit ivory out of your filthy mouth!” Amber ignored him and walked home with Mel in his arms. Elliot followed behind her. He was agile enough to hold the door. “I’m a guest. Is this how you treat your guests?”
Mel stuck out its tongue at Elliot. “You made my mother angry! The consequences are very serious!”
“Bullshit! I’m your mother’s immediate superior. She saw me like a mouse meeting a cat!”
“You’re not civilized. Shut up!”
“This is called personality, do you understand personality? You can learn from me in the future. Don’t be like Pierce, like a sissy!”
“Uncle Pierce is not a sissy!” Mel retorted.
“If I say he’s a sissy, then he’s a sissy!” Elliot was actually bickering with a child. Amber shook his head. She really had no way to be angry with someone like Elliot. “What are you doing here?”
“What are you doing? Don’t you have the nerve to ask?” Elliot turned to look at Amber. “How many days have you skipped work? Don’t you know yourself?”
“Didn’t I ask for leave? And you agreed.” Amber retorted.
“I’m not happy now. Hurry up and go to work!”
“Now?” Amber looked at him in confusion. What was wrong with Elliot?
“I’m going to a business party in South City tonight. Without a female companion, you can go with me!” he ordered.
“I’m not going,” Amber replied, shaking his head. “I’m not going.”
“This is work! I won’t deduct your bonus!” Elliot threatened.
“Are you going to increase the bonus?” Amber asked.
“Have you lost money?”
“I’ll go if you add a bonus! I’m just an assistant, not your female companion!”
“Well, I’ll give you a bonus. Come with me immediately!”
Amber didn’t expect Elliot to be so straightforward. She didn’t want to go with him at all. “I don’t have suitable clothes!” She continued to push him.
This reason was not a reason for Elliot. “I’ve already bought it for you!”
Amber glared at him, but Elliot couldn’t feel her unhappiness at all. “Don’t worry about the size. I can see a woman’s eyes with 100% accuracy. I can tell how big a cup she is wearing at a glance!”
“What is a cup?” Mel asked again.
Amber was truly worried that Elliot’s words and deeds would spoil Mel. “I’ll go with you. Hurry up and leave!”
Elliot had a sinister smile on his face. He had never treated her before, but now she had a weakness. He had plenty of ways to deal with her in the future!
Just as Amber had expected, he saw Rodney at the gathering. Celia was standing beside him. Seeing them, Amber instinctively wanted to give in.
However, Elliot did not give her such an opportunity. He forcefully held her hand and walked over. Rodney was surrounded by a group of people like the moon. When he heard that Mr. Thomson was coming, he looked sideways and his eyes lit up.
He had experienced Amber’s beauty before, but the first time he saw her in an evening gown in the past few years, he was greatly amazed.
She had a beautiful face, a smooth and slender neck, snow-white skin, and a slender waist that couldn’t be held. When he saw Elliot holding her hand and walking over, he forgot that someone was talking to him.
Beside her, Celia saw that his gaze had been fixed on Amber and felt jealous. In order to declare her ownership, she hung half of her body on Rodney’s body without holding back. There was only Amber in his eyes, so how could he notice her actions?
Amber sneered in his heart when he saw the two of them as if they were a one-piece baby. He had been a little resistant to it, but now he didn’t want to back down.
