Chapter 52
Unexpectedly, Roderick replied with a smile, “Michael called and told me that he took Angie to the lake!”
“What?”
Melanie asked in disbelief.
Angie was so unreliable. She had promised her, but she had conspired with an outsider to set her up!
She took out the phone and tried to call Roy and Sam.
“By the way, Roy and Sam are on leave today. They asked me to send you back,” Roderick added.
Hearing this, Melanie stopped calling them.
Her two sons dug a hole for her. But now the people around her were all bribed by Roderick!
Her grief was beyond tears.
She gave Roderick a stare, but he responded to her with a smile.
His brown eyes were full of affection. Melanie hurriedly looked away. She didn’t dare to meet his eyes.
“Fine! Do what you will!” Melanie said awkwardly.
Elias and Ethan also cheered happily.
“Thank you, Mommy. You’re so sweet!”
Roderick also chuckled.
“Thank you for giving me this opportunity to drive
you home.”
Melanie didn’t dare to look him in the eye and said awkwardly, “Humph, I agreed for the sake of our children!”
“I know. I will try my best,” Roderick said, smiling. He was very good–tempered!

Melanie couldn’t help but want to retort, ‘Who told you to try your best? Why do you need to try your best?‘
On second thought, she bit her tongue because it seemed like she was flirting with
him.
Soon, a maid arrived to take Ethan and Elias to wash up and change clothes.
For a moment, there were only Melanie and Roderick left on the huge playground.
Melanie instantly blushed and panicked when they were alone.
She had never met a man who had made her so nervous for so many years.
Melanie thought, ‘This man is really difficult to deal with.’
He kept staring. The intensity of his gaze made her blush!
She wanted to glare back at him, but she was afraid of his intense gaze.
She had to shift her gaze to the garden scenery!
“Mela, Ethan, and Elias require some time to shower and change their clothes. Why don’t we go over there and have a drink?” Roderick suggested.
Melanie remembered the cups of coffee she had drank in Geoffrey’s yard today and felt bloated instantly.
“No, I’m good!” she replied.
Roderick crinkled his eyes in a smile and asked indomitable, “Did my grandpa make you drink a lot of coffee?”
“Yes, he did,” Melanie replied.
Unexpectedly, her response made Roderick very happy.
“Mela, my mother prepared some cupcakes. Let’s go over there and eat some!” he said.
Melanie couldn’t stand it anymore.
“No, thanks. I’m not thirsty or hungry. I’ll go check on Ethan and Elias!”

Melanie ran away without looking back.
Roderick curled up his lips and quickly followed her.
When he walked past a flowering shrub, he suddenly overheard several people talking. It attracted his attention.
“Damian, is what you said true?”
“Of course, it’s true. I truly saw Mr. Lambert’s two children before. Oh, no.”
However, Damian soon dismissed what he said.
“To be exact, I have seen three kids who look exactly like Mr. Lambert’s sons!”
“Damian, you must have seen them wrong.”
“Don’t you see how handsome Mr. Lambert’s two sons are? Whose children can compete with our boss‘?” Richard said disdainfully.
But I indeed saw them. There are three of them! They look exactly the same!” Damian replied, looking eagerly at Carl Mclean beside him.
“Carl, you also saw them, right?”
Carl nodded in agreement. “Exactly. Strangely, those three children look exactly the same as Mr. Lambert!”
Bill, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly sneered, “Did Ms. Robertson give birth to five sons for Mr. Lambert?”
Roderick, who was about to turn to leave, suddenly stopped and listened carefully.
“That’s possible. It was reported that a woman gave birth to eight children at a time,” Richard teased.
But Damian got excited and kept nodding.
“Yes, you’re right. Maybe Ms. Robertson gave birth to five sons at a time!”
Bill looked at Damian’s stupid face and kicked him.
“Don’t talk nonsense! Five sons at a time? Don’t you know the babies will have gene defects and won’t live long?”

Damian screamed in pain.
“I didn’t talk nonsense. I saw them! Carl also saw them!”
Seeing that he was still quibbling, Richard sneered repeatedly.
“You two burned down the server that Mr. Lambert had spent a lot of money on in Solustria. Mr. Lambert let you off since you’ve found Ms. Robertson. But how dare you talk nonsense!”
Damian still argued after being kicked, “I’m not talking nonsense.”
“I’m telling the truth. The server was burned down by those three kids!” he added.
“Damn it! You’ve gone too far. How dare you shirk the responsibility!”
As Richard scolded Damian, he tapped his finger on his forehead again.
