Chapter 74
Chapter 74
Amber was annoyed when he saw Rodney. Without waiting for him to speak, he shouted, “What do you want, Mr. Barron?”
“Amber!”
“Do you know that it’s annoying for you to appear here every day like this? Do you know that I almost lost my son because of your shameless pestering?”
“Amber, Mel is an accident…”
“An accident? Who told you that it was an accident? I told you that it was all your mother’s work. It was your mother who asked someone to take my son away and threaten me!”
“My mom did it? How is that possible?”
“What’s impossible? Your mother threatened me several times. She’s such a vicious person. What can’t she do?”
“If it was really my mother who did it, I would definitely give you an explanation.” Rodney promised.
“I don’t want any explanation from you, Rodney. I beg you, please let me and my child go. I can’t afford to offend you. I really can’t afford to offend you. Please give me a way out!”
Looking at Amber’s agitated expression, Rodney’s heart sank. He didn’t believe that his mother would do such a thing, but Amber had no enmity with anyone. Who would treat her and her child like this?
Rodney drove home. He wanted to ask his mother in person if she had done this.
Rachel was unwilling to admit it. She only said that Amber was talking nonsense and that the mother and son had a big fight.
In the end, he drove away in a huff.
Rachel sat in the living room and rubbed her chest. She was angry. It was all because of that b*tch Amber. She had provoked her and her son again and again. Rachel couldn’t stand it, so she ordered the driver to drive her to Amber’s neighborhood.
She called Amber downstairs. “Come down. I have something to ask you!”
A few minutes later, Amber came down. Rachel didn’t beat around the bush and said, “Amber, you’re so good that you chose Rodney to quarrel with me.”
“Did I sow discord between you and your son? You asked yourself, did you do something immoral?” Amber sneered. “As a mother, how could you be so vicious and shameless? Are you still a human?”
“Didn’t you force me to do this? If you hadn’t pestered Rodney, would I have done this?”
She admitted it. Amber trembled with anger. “How can you be so vicious? Are you a human or not? What’s the difference between you doing this and a beast?”
Rachel was so angry because of her scolding. “Amber, you brought all this upon yourself. I’m telling you, this is just the beginning. If you still refuse to come to your senses, don’t blame me.”
“What do you want? What do you want?”
“My request is very simple. Stay away from my son. Don’t disturb his engagement with Celia.”
“I didn’t!”
“If you don’t have any feelings for Rodney, then accept my conditions and leave South City. Since you’ve already left, why do you want to stay behind this time?”
“I won’t accept your conditions. You give up!”
“Really? I’ll tell you the truth. This is just a joke. It’s hard to say in the future.”
“I’m going to sue you!”
“Do you have any evidence?” Rachel sneered. “Amber, you don’t have the strength to fight me.”
“I don’t believe you can cover the sky with one hand!”
“I can’t cover the sky with one hand, but I just need to cover the sky above your head.” Rachel sneered. “Of course, if you don’t care about your son’s safety, you can try!”
“Rachel, evil is rewarded with good. If you are so vicious, you will be punished.”
“I’m not afraid of retribution. For my son’s happiness, everything is worth it!” Rachel didn’t care at all. “Remember my words. Don’t provoke Rodney again! Otherwise, don’t blame me for being ruthless! I can do anything for my son!”
Rachel left arrogantly, and Amber stood downstairs in a daze.
Rachel was not just threatening her. As she had said, it did not take much effort to deal with her. She was not alone. She had a son. She did not need to fight with people like Rachel because of her son.
She didn’t know how long she had been standing downstairs. She put one hand on Amber’s shoulder. “Why are you standing here alone at such a late hour?”
Amber turned around and saw Elliot standing beside him with a smile.
“Why are you here?”
“If I miss you, I’ll come and have a look!” He was still not serious.
“Elliot, I’m not in the mood to joke with you.”
“I’m not joking. I’m telling the truth. Amber, I drove here involuntarily. I really miss you.”
Elliot looked down at Amber. His eyes were sincere. Amber didn’t dare to look him in the eye and immediately lowered his head.
He reached out to hold her hand. “Amber, let me take care of you and your child, okay?” Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
These words made Amber raise his head. She couldn’t believe that Elliot would say something like that to her.
“I like you, and I can’t resist your attraction. Amber, I’m not on the spur of the moment. I’ve thought about it for a long time before I say these words to you. Believe me, I won’t let you down!”
Amber stared at Elliot in a daze. He was the one who gave her comfort and strength when she was at her most helpless moment. She, who had been wandering around helplessly for so many years, truly felt a sense of dependence in his embrace and comfort.
But would he be her harbor? His handsomeness, his wealth, his talent, and his family, none of them matched each other.
Such a man was so distant to her. She was really afraid that the scene of that year would repeat itself.
“I just want to give you and your child a home. Amber, try to accept me and love me, okay?”
His voice was low and magnetic. Amber looked up at Elliot in confusion. Just as she was about to lose Mel, his arms hugged her and warmed her.
“Elliot, are you sincere to me? Will you always be nice to me?”
He nodded. “I am really good to you. I will always be good to you! I swear!”
Tears welled up in Amber’s eyes. She reached out to cover Elliot’s mouth. “I don’t need you to swear. I don’t need an oath!”
“Okay! I won’t swear. Look at my performance!” Elliot grabbed her hand and pulled her into his arms. He held her soft body and said to himself in his heart.
“Amber, I’m a playboy. I often love women because I haven’t found a woman worthy of my love. Now that I’ve found you, I won’t let you go. No matter what hardships you’ll go through in the future, I won’t let go of you!”
Amber, who was lying in his warm and wide arms, had mixed feelings. Although Elliot was not a romantic man, and although he once had so many women, she knew that he was a kind person.
If Elliot really likes me, I will try to accept you. I will try to love you. Let’s give each other a chance!
Rodney was sitting in the car, staring at the smooth car in front of him. The woman on the car was smiling like a flower, talking to a man.
Her smile stimulated his nerves. In the past, he often saw men send her home, but he had never seen her smile in such high spirits.
What exactly happened? What made her so happy?
“Amber, you look so good when you smile. Remember to smile more often in the future!” Elliot stared greedily at Amber’s beautiful face. This was the original Amber. He wanted this kind of woman. She was beautiful but not naive. Thinking of being able to face such a beautiful smile every day in the future, Elliot was very happy.
“That depends on your performance. If I’m not happy, how can I laugh?”
“I will make you happy.”
The car stopped downstairs, and Ashton came over with Mel. “Mom!” Mel threw herself into Amber’s arms for a while and then pounced on Elliot.
“Uncle Elliot!”
“Call me Dad!” Elliot glared at him. Mel glanced at Amber and saw a smile on her face, so she called him sweetly, “Dad!”
“Good son!” Elliot lifted Mel over his head, and Mel giggled. “A little higher! A little higher!”
Ashton was also very happy. “The meal is ready. Let’s eat first!”
While eating, Ashton mentioned the matter of Mel going to kindergarten. “The teacher of the kindergarten came today and said that he was a few months younger and asked her to come back next year.”
“Mom, I want to go to kindergarten and play with children.” Mel looked at Amber pitifully.
Hearing that, Elliot looked at Amber. “Is there any other way to go to kindergarten?”
“There’s a school in the neighborhood that has to be three years old before it can be admitted,” Amber replied.
“Why do you have to stay in the community? Go to the kindergarten in the countryside. The facilities are good, and the education is good.” Looking at Amber’s embarrassed expression, he understood. “I’ll pay for it!”
“Use your money. I… will feel bad.” Amber refused.
“Haha, you’re so silly and cute.” Elliot glared at Amber. “Do we also have to carry out the system after we get married? I’m telling you, from now on, everything I have belongs to you!”
Amber’s face suddenly turned red. She couldn’t help looking into Elliot’s eyes. It was said that eyes were the best way to respond to a person’s heart. Elliot’s eyes looked extremely sincere. She subconsciously lowered her head, but it was hard for her to calm down.
Mel had fallen asleep and Elliot had yet to leave. Amber placed Mel on the bed and tucked her in. A large hand wrapped around her waist and a gentle lips pressed against her neck.
Amber’s body stiffened all of a sudden. Although he had kissed her, he had never been so sober when he was drunk.
She wanted to push him away, but she did not take action. The man in front of her had the best family background and the most handsome appearance. She had no reason to refuse him.
Because of her refusal, Elliot slowly turned her body around, and his warm lips kissed hers. Amber was passively kissed by him…
After a while, he let go of her lips and hugged her tightly. “Amber, I don’t want to go today!”
Amber’s face suddenly turned red. She knocked on his head. “I’m telling you, don’t treat me like your women!”
“Listen to me!” Elliot grabbed her hand and stared at her with his beautiful eyes. “I don’t want to leave you anymore. Do you understand? Amber, let’s get married!”
“Get married?”
“Yes! Let’s get married immediately. You can move to my place. Then I can eat you with a justified reason!” He smiled in a low voice.
“Bad!” Amber glared at him. Marriage was not a casual matter. Elliot’s marriage would not be decided by him alone. “Let me think about it.”
She said that she wanted him to think about it, but it was not impossible.
Elliot reached out and pressed his hand on her red lips. “You!” She still didn’t believe him. Her heart ached. How could she believe him?
