Triplet Mommy’s Triumphant Return by Quinn Hart

Chapter 73

Michael took Angie along with him when he left the police station.

Roderick pulled Melanie into the car she took to get here.

“Mela!” he uttered.

Melanie had remained silent and disregarded Roderick ever since getting into the

car.

She stared blankly out of the car.

She didn’t know what was on her mind, or rather, she wasn’t thinking at all.

“Mela!” Roderick called her twice before he could bring her back to reality!

When Melanie came back to her senses, she found a pair of attractive eyes full of

concern.

She suddenly came to believe that Angie was really getting married.

Soon after their accidental one–night romance, Angie decided to marry Michael.

Should people get married after sleeping together?

Melanie thought, ‘In that case, can I lead an independent life while raising three kids?‘

Melanie couldn’t understand Angie’s decision.

“Mela.”

Melanie didn’t realize he had been holding her hand until then. “Don’t call me,” she said, shaking off Roderick’s hand.

“Mela.”

His deep voice was laced with some sadness.

Melanie exclaimed inwardly, ‘Damn it!‘

Melanie’s mood would instantly change each time he called her like that.

பப,

It was no exception, even though she was feeling strangely irate right now.

She felt frustrated!

Melanie curled up against the opposite window, covering her ears with her tiny fingers and holding her head with both hands to stay away from him.

“Mela.”

Melanie exclaimed silently, ‘Oh, my goodness!‘

She couldn’t completely block his voice from coming through. His soft voice. struck her like a shockwave.

It felt as though his voice was ringing a bell attached to her heart.

Her heart would tinkle every time she heard his dragging voice calling her in this

way.

“Mela… I’m sorry,” he said. This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

Melanie realized that Roderick was giving her an explanation about taking her to Kdeal when she heard him apologize.

Melanie didn’t say anything. She knew that Roderick had done nothing wrong.

Angie raced a car, rushed to Kdeal got into a fight here, and was caught by the police. Not a single one of these things was trivial.

Had it not been for Roderick, Angie might have spent an indeterminate amount of time behind bars and suffered.

For Angie to return, he merely asked her to come here and sign her name. How could she possibly expect Roderick to apologize to her when he had done her such a big favor?

She had to share the same car with Roderick to come to Kdeal. So what? She needed his help in the first place.

Even if he had taken advantage of her, holding her hand and looking at her, what could she say?

Roderick was sick and simply wanted to find comfort in her.

Melanie thought silently, not responding to him.

After a while, she heard him talking again, “Mela, do you remember that night from seven years ago?”

“I have been looking for you for the past seven years since then.

“For the past seven years, I’ve been doing something every day that I never did as a kid. Do you know why?”

Melanie remained silent, but she pricked up her ear and listened carefully.

“Heh.”

Roderick chuckled.

“Mela, I make the same wish every day, hoping to see you again.

“But ever since I saw you on the plane that day, I’ve been wishing to see you all the time.

Roderick then sighed.

“Mela, am I too greedy?”

Melanie listened silently, feeling deeply touched.

She could relate to the kind of day–to–day miss in his words, just as she had thought about that night a lot over the years.

And seven years later, they met again. She became flustered and her heart raced every time he came close to her and touched her, whether on purpose or accidentally.

She didn’t know what was wrong with her.

How could she fall in love with this man who had made up such a ridiculous deal and whom she had never met before?

‘Heaven! This is ridiculous! she exclaimed inside.

Melanie moved her body slightly, but she still didn’t say anything.

“However, I don’t know anything that happened between Angie and Michael this

time. But I can assure you that Michael will never mistreat Angie,” he said.

After hearing Roderick’s explanation, Melanie started to calm down and gave what had happened between Angie and Michael some serious thought.

It seemed that Angie and Michael had long clicked.

Perhaps they were already in love when they first visited the Lambert Manor because they had such a joyous conversation.

Girls would leave home when they grew up.

Melanie sighed, her body finally at case, but she continued to lean against the glass window and look outside.

Anyway, she was still in the midst of entanglement.

To be honest, Angie was 24 years old. She would have been married and a mother long ago if she had been born into a common family.

Melanie was perplexed as to how Angie turned out to be so playful and unruly when the Thomas family had always been strict with their kids.

But how could such a disciplined monster decide to marry a man she recently

met?

To

think about it carefully, Melanie would consent to it without hesitation if the man truly cared for her and truly loved her.

But she never thought that Angie would marry a man from Zerivia, much less Roderick’s relative.

Melanie couldn’t think straight.

She was getting tired from thinking. She sighed weakly in relief and closed her eyes, leaning against the seat.

In a trance, she felt the movement on the other side of the seat, and she once again had the sensation of being intensely stared at.
