Chasing My Rejected Wife

Chapter 60

In the past three years, he had come here so many times that he couldn’t remember clearly. Ashton’s life was very regular. He would definitely return home before eight o’clock in the evening.

Today, it was an exception. He checked the time and found that it was already 10 o’clock in the evening, and the window was still dark. “Did something happen?”

Rodney waited downstairs for a while, but he still did not see anyone come back. Coincidentally, the aunt who lived here came back. She had seen Rodney many times. Every time, she stood beside a big tree downstairs and looked up at the window of the tube-shaped apartment in a daze. If it were not for his gorgeous clothes and extraordinary temperament, she really suspected that he was a lunatic.

Wasn’t it just a broken window? What was there to look at?

Rodney saw his aunt pointing at the window where Amber lived and asking for information. “Aunt, do you know where our family went?”

The aunt looked at Rodney strangely. “Are you a friend or relative of this family?”

“He’s a relative. A distant relative,” he replied.

“A distant relative?” The aunt looked suspicious. After a moment of hesitation, she said, “The family moved away.”

“Moveed away? When did you move away?”

“I’ve moved out for a few days.”

“Do you know where they moved to?”

“He must have moved to their son-in-law’s place,” the auntie replied.

“Son-in-law?” Rodney was stunned. He had just had a son, and now he had a son-in-law. Amber really surprised him.

“You are a relative of this family. How could you not know that the young lady of this family is getting married?” Aunt looked at Rodney strangely.

“I…” Rodney didn’t know how to answer.

Aunt ignored him and turned around to go upstairs, but he stood there in a daze. The current situation was beyond his imagination. Amber moved away without saying a word.

The last time he targeted Noemi was the same. He thought that she would continue to make trouble, but she suddenly disappeared. In the past ten days, he spent ten days like a year, so he had to let Noemi return to her original position. As soon as his order was issued, she appeared.

Rodney recalled how she had been hostile to her mother in the restaurant that day. It was said that people who loved each other would tolerate each other for the sake of each other. Amber had never tolerated his mother. He had been hostile to her since he married her. No wonder his mother did not like her. This also indirectly proved that Amber had never loved him.

Because she didn’t care about herself at all, she was so straightforward in her request of divorce that she didn’t try to retain her. Even in the face of such harsh conditions, she didn’t hesitate.

He was still in the past, but she was ready to start tomorrow. She suddenly felt that she was really ridiculous. What was this?

Rodney didn’t return home until dawn. By the time he got home, Rachel had already gotten up. She knew that he hadn’t returned home for the whole night. In the past, if he hadn’t come back, she would definitely call him and ask him.

However, last night, Rodney went out with Celia to attend the party. If he didn’t come back, he must be with Celia. It was the most beautiful thing for Rachel to be together with Celia. Naturally, she wouldn’t be so ignorant as to call and disturb him.

But when she saw her son come back so early, Rachel didn’t think so. She knew very well that her son was not with Celia at all. She looked at her son’s tired eyes, with a little heartache in her eyes. “Did you stay up late in the company again?”

Rodney replied with a “hmm” as an answer.

Rachel ordered the servant to prepare breakfast while Rodney began to wash his face. After washing up, the auntie had already prepared breakfast in the dining room. Rodney sat down at the dining table and buried his head in breakfast. Rachel had been observing her son, but why did she find that his son seemed to have lost a lot of weight?

“Rodney, don’t go all out. Pay attention to your body.”

Rodney still answered her with a nasal voice. Rachel sighed and said, “Although we lost a company, Channing will use the sports meeting to compensate us.”

“Did Channing just tell you that?” Rodney asked back.

“Shannon said it. Channing must have told her about it.” Rachel was in a good mood. “The sports meeting is also a piece of fat. I don’t think it’s worse than building a company…”

Rodney looked at his mother mockingly. “Don’t you think it’s too early to think so?”

Rachel naturally knew what he meant. She was silent for a moment and said, “Rodney, I’ve thought about it. I’d better announce the engagement to the public. The ceremony will be held in Channing’s house!”

“You can do whatever you want. Don’t ask me!” Rodney wiped his mouth and stood up. “I’m going to work!”

“You’re not at home?” Rachel was surprised.

“No, I still have something to do in the company!” Watching her son striding away, Rachel stamped her feet. How could her body bear to work so hard like this!

Rodney entered the company and ordered Deon, “Go and find out where Amber moved to. Be quick.”

Deon quickly found out where Amber had moved to. Rodney looked at the address in silence for a while and grabbed his coat and left the company. He drove to Amber’s new home. He knew that Amber was not there, but he couldn’t help wanting to have a look.

Amber’s new home was in Bradoob Hill in the South City. The facilities in this community were very good. There was a kindergarten in the community. This was also the reason why Amber chose to buy a house here. It was convenient for Mel to go to kindergarten.

Rodney parked the car outside the community and walked into it. Amber lived in the third building, and Rodney went straight to the third building.

From a distance, he saw Ashton sitting below the third building, basking in the sun, and a small figure not far from him was playing a ball.

Rodney subconsciously held his feet. That was Amber’s child. That child was so cute that he liked it at a glance. How nice it would be if this was his own child!

After playing with the ball for a while, he felt that it was meaningless to run to Ashton. “Grandpa, I want to find my mother.”

“Mom is at work and will come back Club Cobalt. Mel is obedient.”

“It’s so boring.” Mel sighed like an adult. “Uncle, when can I go to kindergarten?”

“Mom has gone to find someone. She’ll be here soon,” Ashton replied.

While speaking, Ashton noticed Rodney. His expression immediately darkened. He carried Mel and left. Rodney did not move. He just stood there. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

He had just heard the conversation between Ashton and Mel clearly. Mel wanted to go to kindergarten. Generally speaking, domestic kindergartens could go to kindergarten at three years old, which meant that Mel was now three years old. He and Amber had divorced for more than three years. How could Amber have a three-year-old child? Was Mel his own child?

This idea made Rodney excited. He had to find Amber immediately and ask! He had to figure out this problem!

When Amber got home from work, she was stopped downstairs by Rodney. He said bluntly, “Amber. Tell me honestly, who is the child?”

What should have come finally came. Last night, when Rodney asked her about it at the party, Amber knew that he would not let it go easily. Fortunately, she had already had a plan. She looked at Rodney indifferently and said, “Mr. Barron, you are very funny. My child was born by me and my husband.”

“Honey? So the child is mine?”

“Rodney, are you so stupid that you don’t know the relationship between husband and ex-husband?”

“Impossible! How is that possible?” Rodney did not believe it at all. “How did you get married?”

“Do you think that I will protect you like jade?” Amber sneered.

“Amber, don’t lie to me. You can’t get married.”

“You can’t get married? Why do you say that, Mr. Barron?”

“If you get married, I will definitely find out as soon as possible.” He had been keeping an eye on the Civil Affairs Bureau’s system. If Amber got married, there would definitely be a registration. However, he did not receive such news. “We’ve only divorced for more than three years. How could there be a three-year-old child? Is the child mine?”

“Yours? Do you deserve it?” Amber sneered. “Don’t you know that we have divorced for three years and nine months?”

“I told you, don’t change the topic. Now that you’re so rich, you’ll know if it’s my investigation or not.” Since she left, he had been spending every day like a year. How could he not remember the days when she left?

“Amber, you can keep your mouth shut, but I’ll find out soon enough.”

“Rodney, why must you force me?” Amber said viciously. “There’s no need to investigate. I’ll tell you the truth.”

Rodney stared nervously at Amber. “What is the truth?”

“It’s true that I’m not married, because when I was about to get married, my child’s father accidentally died.” From the day she took Mel back, she knew that there would be a day when Rodney would know about it, but she was not afraid. She would make Rodney believe her.

Back then, she couldn’t find a job after leaving Rodney and was forced into a dead end. So she cried in front of her mother’s grave. Her mother was buried on a mountain in the outskirts of South City. Amber didn’t expect to encounter heavy rain. On the way down the mountain, she slipped and fell. When she fell, Amber tried his best to protect her belly. It was better to break her leg on a stone.

Coincidentally, he was rescued by a kind-hearted person who passed by at that time. Coincidentally, the kind-hearted person was called Carlos, who was the manager of a business company and also Amber’s classmate in high school.

In fact, Carlos had a crush on Amber when he was in high school. It was just that Amber was so beautiful that he felt inferior and did not dare to confess his love to him, so he suppressed this feeling in his heart. Later, Carlos went to another city to go to college after he graduated from high school. After graduation, he married a girl in his class and had a lovely son. His wife died in a car accident two years ago.

Amber had been lying in the hospital in the suburbs for three whole months, and it was no wonder that Rodney could not find out anything about her. Carlos had launched a love attack on Amber in the past 100 days.

Amber was disheartened. How could she accept it? She told Carlos her own experience and told him that she had another child in her belly, so as to dispel Carlos’s pursuit of her heart.

Carlos didn’t care. He promised that he would be good to Amber and treat the child in her belly as his own child. Amber didn’t believe his promise and was ready to leave after he recovered. But she had always been a person who didn’t like to owe others. How could she repay the medical expenses owed by Carlos?

Carlos’s parents opened a supermarket in the countryside. He proposed to let Amber work in the supermarket in the countryside. Amber was worried that he could not find a job, so he agreed.

Since Amber worked in his supermarket, Carlos had been running back and forth in the company in the countryside. Amber’s belly grew up day by day. The parents of the Wilkinson family were very kind and took good care of Amber. Seeing that Amber’s belly was not easy, they also persuaded Amber to marry Carlos.

In the face of the kindness of Carlos’s family, Amber was also a little tempted. For the sake of the baby in his belly, he agreed to consider it, but he did not expect that something would happen to Carlos.

He died in order to save the children who fell into the water. Carlos’s death made the parents of the Wilkinson family heartbroken. The two old men couldn’t stand such a big blow and both fell ill. Amber had been taking care of them in the Wilkinson family. Later, she didn’t leave until the two old men recovered.

Although Amber and Carlos were not married, because she had been living in the Wilkinson family, everyone thought that her child was Carlos’s. After Carlos died, she gave birth to a child in the Wilkinson family. Carlos’s parents were very kind. In order not to let Mel become an illegitimate child, they put Mel’s household register in the Wilkinson family.

Rodney stared at Amber for a while. “Amber, you’d better not lie to me!”

“Why would I lie to you?” Amber sneered. “Mr. Barron, if you don’t believe me, you can check it out.”

“I’ll figure it out!” Rodney looked at Amber with a complicated expression before he turned and left.
