Chasing My Rejected Wife

Chapter 66

When the security guard called back, the little girl on the sofa had disappeared.

Mel ran to the door of the elevator and pressed the button a few times. The elevator did not open, so he did not dare to stay. He was afraid that the bad guys would catch up, so he ran to the door.

Rodney was driving the car. He inadvertently glanced to the side and saw a familiar little figure. He was shocked.

“Isn’t this Amber’s child? Why is he alone on the road?”

Rodney immediately stopped the car and went straight to Mel.

Mel was running, panting. Suddenly, someone stood in front of her. “Where are you going? Where’s your mother?”

“Uncle!” Mel seemed to have seen her savior. “There are bad guys chasing me over there. I’m afraid.”

“Don’t be afraid. I will protect you.”

After Amber sent the fax, he found that his son was gone. She thought that Mel was playing in another office and was looking for him next to her. “Mel! Mel!”

Amber panicked after failing to find Mel. Where would the child go at such a young age? Could it be that he had been carried away?

She hurriedly took the elevator downstairs to find the security guards. As soon as she entered the elevator, her cell phone rang. It was a call from Rodney.

Amber wasn’t in the mood to answer his phone. Without hesitation, he pressed the button. Soon after, Rodney called. She continued to press the button. After a few times like this, Amber got angry. After

answering the phone, he shouted fiercely, “Rodney, what are you going to do?”

What came from the phone was not Rodney’s voice, but Mel’s tender voice. “Mom!”

“Mel?” Amber was surprised.

“Mom, I’m with uncle.”

Amber hurried out of the elevator and went straight outside. Rodney’s car was parked on the side of the road. Seeing Amber coming out, Mel poked her head out of the car. “Mom, I’m here!”

Amber ran to the car with a trace of anger on his face. “Mel, why are you running around? Do you know that you scared your mother to death just now?”

“Why are you so fierce to the child? The child is not sensible. As a mother, you should take good care of him. Now it’s your fault for not being able to take care of him well. How can you blame the child?” Rodney looked at Amber unhappily. “Fortunately, I met him just now. If someone with ulterior motives took him away, what would you do?”

“You don’t have to pretend to be kind!” Amber retorted. She was not qualified to say that it was Rodney.

“Mom, I was wrong. Please don’t be angry!” Mel immediately apologized when she saw that Amber was angry.

“Well, I’m not angry. Come down and follow me!” Amber was not willing to let Mel and Rodney stay together at all.

Mel was a little reluctant. “Mom, uncle said he would take us home…”

“Have you forgotten what Mom said? Don’t talk to strangers! There are many bad guys!”

“Uncle is not a stranger, and Uncle is not a bad person!” Mel argued.

Amber had a headache. “Why does Mel have such a strong affection for a stranger? Is it really because of the blood of kinship?”

She couldn’t let Mel get close to Rodney. She absolutely couldn’t! Amber said with a cold face, “Did you not listen to your mother?”

“Amber, are you that scared of me?” Rodney asked as he looked at Amber.

“Scared of you? Why would I be afraid of you?”

“Since you are not afraid of me, why don’t you dare to take my car?”

“Who said I wouldn’t dare?”

“How dare you get in the car?”

Amber opened the car door after being provoked by Rodney. When he got in the car, he found that he had been circled by Rodney.

She pursed her lips and hugged Mel tightly. She cursed him a few times in her heart. He was a shameless and stinky man. In the past, he had suffered a lot from her, but today, he couldn’t stand it anymore and was provoked by her.

Rodney drove the car and looked at Amber from time to time in the rearview mirror. He was not willing to just send Amber home so easily.

After thinking for a long time, he said to Mel, “Mel, are you hungry?”

“Hungry!”

“Uncle will take you to eat delicious food, okay?”

Mel glanced at her mother’s face. She had wanted to agree, but in the end, it turned out to be bad. Rodney didn’t give up. “There are delicious fruit and ice cream, as well as seafood sugarcane…” In fact, he didn’t know what Mel liked to eat, but he remembered that the first time he saw Mel eating interests with Amber.

Mel swallowed and looked at Amber with eager eyes. Amber pretended not to understand the desire in Mel’s eyes. “Good girl, let’s go home to eat.”

Mel nodded. “I’ll listen to Mom. It’s not easy for Mom to take me alone. We don’t have money, so we should try not to eat outside.”

Rodney had wanted to seduce Mel, but he didn’t expect Mel to make such a call. He frowned slightly. “Amber, are you so stingy with your child?”

“Mr. Barron, you don’t have the right to criticize me!” Amber replied coldly. He had no right to say that he was stingy.

She had saved up some money over the years, but she had used it to buy a house. Although Elliot gave her a pretty good salary, she couldn’t spend all of it. She had to save it.

Mel was growing up slowly, and Ashton was in poor health. He would need a lot of money in the future. She couldn’t do nothing when she needed money.

“Uncle will treat you to lunch today. You don’t need your mom to pay for it!” Rodney drove the car to the entrance of a high-end restaurant.

“Mom. Uncle said he didn’t want you to pay.” Mel looked at Amber. Hearing his stomach growling, Amber felt distressed. He took Mel out of the car and entered the restaurant.

“Mom, this restaurant is so beautiful!” Mel looked around curiously. “The food inside must be delicious, right?”

“It’s delicious,” Amber replied. This was the most expensive restaurant in South City. It would be strange if it was not delicious.

Amber sat down with Mel in his arms. Seeing that Rodney had also sat down, she said coldly, “Thank you for sending us here, Mr. Barron. I will give you the fee for the car. Please don’t follow us, okay?”

“I told you that I’ll treat you to dinner.”

“No need!” Amber refused.

Rodney ignored her refusal and sat opposite her cheekily. “Mel, what would you like to eat?” He picked up the menu and asked.

“I…” Mel looked at her mother and lowered her head. “I’ll eat whatever you eat.”

Rodney looked at Amber’s unfriendly expression and ordered the dishes on his own accord. Soon, the dishes were served. Mel was hungry and wolfed down the food. Amber’s heart ached when he saw Mel’s starving look.

Seeing that she didn’t move her chopsticks and just stared at Mel, Rodney put a dish in Amber’s bowl. “Don’t just watch. You should also eat something.”

“Mom, you eat too.” Mel helped Amber pick up the dishes with her chubby hands. Amber ate the dishes Mel picked for him, but he didn’t touch Rodney.

Seeing the situation, Mu Xuyang’s eyes looked a little sad, but he quickly adjusted it and put some food in Mel’s bowl. Mel smiled at him and said, “Thank you, uncle.”

“Rodney? Why are you here?” A voice suddenly sounded. Amber looked at Rachel, who was standing next to them with a gloomy face.

She and her friends came to this restaurant to eat happily. Her friend reminded her, “Isn’t that Rodney? Why does he have a child?”

Rachel’s heart sank when she looked over. Her son actually brought Amber and her son to dinner. It seemed that he had long known that Amber would have a baby.

No wonder he was in a bad mood these days. It turned out that he had already known it. Rachel was a little flustered. Since her son knew it, why didn’t he say anything?

According to his character, he should have gone home to quarrel with her after knowing about it. She was paying attention to her son’s situation while eating.

Rachel was so angry when she saw her son’s fawning look and Amber’s indifferent attitude. It happened that her friend answered a phone call and had something to do. Rachel left with her friend. When she reached the door, she thought that she could not leave like this, so she returned to the restaurant.

“Why are you here?” Rodney’s voice was very cold.

“Why did you say I’m here?” Rachel asked, “Didn’t you say that the company was very busy? Why did you come here for dinner?”

“Am I not allowed to eat?” Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“Of course you can, but you have to weigh the pros and cons. You can’t leave your fiancee behind.” Rachel looked at Amber with a fake smile. “Rodney is about to get engaged to Celia soon. If Miss. Stone has time, you can have a glass of wedding wine later.”

Amber didn’t move. “Mrs. Barron, you came at the right time. Your son has been following us all the time. I’m already very annoyed. Since you’re here, take him away! As for the wedding wine, we don’t seem to be familiar with each other. You invited the wrong person.”

“You!” Rachel was so angry that she gnashed her teeth. She roared at Amber fiercely, “Amber, you should know your own limits. What’s the point of pestering Rodney so shamelessly?”

“Mom, you lost your temper and found the wrong person. She didn’t pester me. I pestered her.” Rodney looked at his mother and Amber and interrupted.

“You still have the nerve to say that? What’s the big deal if you don’t let your fiancee stay with a shameless woman every day? Even if you don’t feel ashamed, I still feel ashamed!”

“Mom, what is shameless?” Mel asked.

“Your mother is a shameless woman!” Rachel took over the conversation. Rodney’s face changed. “Mom!”

Amber had been holding back for the sake of Mel. When he heard Rachel’s words, he finally couldn’t bear it anymore. He grabbed the cup of water on the table and threw it at Rachel.

Rachel never dreamed that Amber would be so angry that she was splashed with water. She thought that she was elegant and noble. She had never been so humiliated in front of outsiders. She was so angry that she trembled. “How dare you slander me!”

“How dare you speak such nonsense in front of my son! I’ll beat you up if you piss me off!” Amber said viciously as he turned to look at Rodney. “Mu, get out of here if you don’t want me to!”

Rodney couldn’t stay any longer. He got up and left. Amber’s voice came from behind him. “Remember to buy your bill!”

Rachel glared hatefully at Amber as she watched him leave. Then, she chased after him.

Amber walked out of the restaurant with Mel in his arms. He was in an extremely bad mood. Mel nestled in her arms. “Mom, that bad mother-in-law is so fierce!”

Amber nodded. “Mel, stay away from that uncle in the future. Otherwise, that bad mother-in-law will come out.”

Mel nodded. “I’ll listen to Mom. Stay away from that uncle in the future.”
