Chasing My Rejected Wife

Chapter 65

Rachel and Celia were unhappy, but Rodney had never felt better. Since he knew that Amber divorced and had a baby with someone else, he had never been calm in his heart.

He had always thought that Amber was just making up the numbers on the blind date show. Now it seemed that she really wanted to find a father for her child, so she chose someone like Casen.

Thinking that Amber was almost destroyed, he was full of remorse and hatred. He was the cause of Amber’s current situation. He had to find a way to make up for it.

Because of this idea, Rodney had not been in the mood to work for the past few days. Instead of going home after work, he drove to Amber’s neighborhood to take a stroll. After that, he found that Elliot had become a frequent visitor of Amber’s family.

Watching Elliot swagger in and out of Amber’s house and accompany Mel for a walk, Rodney felt inexplicably depressed.

Elliot looked at Amber with burning eyes. Even a blind man could feel it. It was impossible that Amber didn’t know.

She had allowed Elliot to enter and leave her house freely without any refusal. She must have had feelings for Elliot as well. Rodney’s heart was filled with pain, anxiety, and anger.

How could Amber meet one love after another? The most important thing was that he asked Deon to reveal the news of Elliot and Amber to Brian. Why didn’t the Hammond family take action?

Rodney felt uncomfortable, but he had no choice. He stayed in Amber’s neighborhood every day.

They watched as Elliot sent Amber home. After they finished their meal, they saw Elliot holding Mel. Amber and Ashton followed several people out for a walk to digest food.

They looked happy and happy, but he was like a thousand arrows piercing his heart. He was in so much pain that he wanted to die.

However, no matter how painful it was, he could not leave. He was still worried. Only when he saw Elliot leave with his own eyes did he let go of his hanging heart.

Rodney knew that his actions were laughable. He was now just a ex-husband who had made a mistake after a divorce. He had no reason to interfere with Amber’s freedom. Staying here and watch everything, he was just looking for trouble. He knew everything, but he could not control his actions.

It was already ten o’clock when Rodney returned home. When he entered the room, he saw Rachel sitting in the living room with a gloomy face. He was tired and ordered the auntie, “Help me prepare some food. I’ll take a shower and come out to eat.”

Seeing him go upstairs, Rachel stopped him. “Why didn’t you answer my phone?”

“Didn’t I tell you? I’m very busy. I don’t have time to eat with you.”

“I asked your secretary. They said that you had nothing important to do today, but you said that you were very busy and didn’t even have time to eat. Why did you lie to me?” Rachel’s face darkened.

“Don’t you think it’s too much?”

“You’re my son, so it’s only right and proper for me to control you,” Rachel said with confidence.

“So I’m your son? I thought it was your pet.” Rodney was in a bad mood and his words were particularly sharp.

“Since you want to control everything about me, why don’t you lock me at home with a chain? In this way, you don’t have to spend so much effort all day under your nose.”

Rachel was almost choked to death, but Rodney ignored her and went upstairs.

The next day, Rodney was still in no mood to work. He drove to Bradoob Hill. Unexpectedly, he saw Mel playing ball on the lawn of the community alone.

When he saw Mel, Rodney’s heart softened. He didn’t belong to the kind of person who liked children very much, but when he saw Mel, he felt very kind and comfortable. That familiar feeling made him very surprised. He thought that probably because he loved Amber, he liked his son.

Mel didn’t notice that Rodney was standing quietly beside him and watching him. He was focused on playing the ball, counting “One, two, three…”

As he patted it, the ball in his hand rolled to one side. Just then, a bald man came over with his son. The son was older than Mel. When he saw the ball, he immediately picked it up and held it in his hand.

Mel saw someone running over with his ball. “Give it back to me.”

“I won’t give it to you!” The child was very arrogant because of the adults. The bald man saw that his child would not suffer losses and did not stop him. He only focused on playing with his mobile phone.

“This is my ball. Give it back to me!” Mel was anxious.

“I won’t give it to you.” Seeing Mel reaching out to grab it, the child gave him a push and Mel fell to the ground. Seeing this, Rodney hurried over.

Mel did not cry like an ordinary child after falling to the ground. Instead, she got up and threw herself at the child. The child reached out to push him, and he fell to the ground again. This time, Mel was furious. She got up and grabbed the child’s hand and took a bite.

The child let go of the ball in one bite and burst into tears. He immediately stopped playing with his phone with his bald head. Seeing that his child’s hand was bitten two teeth marks, the bald man got

angry. “Brat, I’ll beat you to death!”

As he said this, he reached out to grab Mel, but unexpectedly, a hand reached out from the side and twisted the bald man’s hand backward. Rodney looked at him coldly. “You are an adult bullying a child, aren’t you?”

“Let go of me! It hurts so much!” Rodney used quite a bit of strength and shouted with a headache.

Rodney loosened his grip and the bald man was pushed out. He staggered a few steps before regaining his footing. “Is this your child? Look at how he bit my son’s hand.” The bald man was bluffing.

“When your son bullied him just now, he didn’t see you being so angry?” Rodney sneered.

“That… that son just pushed him a little, but your son bit my son. What if he is infected?” The bald man argued. “My son was bitten, so I have to take him to the hospital for a shot. You pay for it.”

Looking at the bald, rogue figure, Rodney was furious. “Get out of here with your son before I lose my temper! Otherwise, you’ll have to bear the consequences!”

The bald man couldn’t help but shiver when he saw the coldness in Rodney’s eyes. The person in front of him didn’t look like someone he could provoke. After weighing the situation, he left resentfully with his son.

The bald man walked away with the child. Rodney picked up the ball and handed it to Mel. Mel looked at Rodney with admiration. “Uncle, are you a policeman?”

“No.”

“Why would the bad guy be afraid of you if he wasn’t a policeman?”

“Because he did something wrong and felt guilty.”

“Oh.” Mel didn’t fully understand. “Uncle, you must be good at fighting, right? Can you teach me?”

“Why do you want to learn how to fight?”

“You can protect your mother and grandfather from being bullied just because you’re good at fighting!” Hearing this, Rodney felt a little sad. When he was about to speak, he heard Ashton’s voice. “Mel! Mel!”

“Grandpa called me. I’m leaving! Uncle, remember to teach me in the future!” Before leaving, Mel did not forget to let him teach him.

In the evening, Amber came back and told Amber that he was bullied during the day. Amber was a little scared after hearing that. “Mel, you must be with your grandfather when you go out in the future. And don’t bite anyone. It’s wrong to bite someone.”

“He robbed me of my things and hit me. Mom, I’m not wrong.”

“Mom knows you’re right. We’re all kids. If he likes to play, I’ll play with him for a while.”

“But after he took the ball away, I won’t play anymore. In this way, I’ll have to spend money to buy it. I’m very tired. I don’t want to spend money randomly.”

Amber sighed. “It’s all my fault. I can make Mel feel the adult’s financial pressure at such a young age. I swear in my heart that I will never mention money in front of Mel in the future.” “Mom has money. What does Mel want? Mommy can buy it for Mel.”

On Monday, Elliot took Felix on a business trip. At noon, he called Amber and said that a document was in the safe. He asked Amber to go to the company to find the fax for him.

Ashton had something to do and went out. Amber was alone at home with Mel. After receiving a call from Elliot, he hurriedly took a taxi with Mel to the company.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

After entering the office, Amber ordered Mel to sit on the sofa in the lounge and play. Amber opened the safe box and began to search for documents for fax. It was the first time for Mel to go to the company, so she felt fresh everywhere. She touched and looked there.

She walked out of the door with her short legs and slowly walked to the door of the elevator. There was a sightseeing elevator in the building where Elliot lived. Mel was very curious, so she pressed the button and entered the elevator.

Standing in the elevator, he looked out curiously. This elevator was really fun. He could even see clearly that it was as fun as a sightseeing car.

Mel took the sightseeing elevator from upstairs to downstairs in high spirits. When the elevator door opened, the security guard in the lobby on the first floor saw that he was the only child in the elevator and was shocked.

He immediately brought Mel out. “Where’s your master? How can I let you take the elevator alone?”

“My mom is working upstairs,” answered Mel in a childish voice.

“Kid, you can’t take the elevator alone at such a young age, understand?”

Mel shook its head. “Isn’t it just taking the elevator? It’s so fun. Why can’t I?”

“I’m going to find mom. My mom should be anxious if she can’t find me.”

“Tell me my mom’s phone number and name. I’ll call her to pick you up.” The security guard was worried about letting such a young child take the elevator.

“My mom’s name is Amber. I don’t know her phone number,” Mel replied.

“Then wait here. If your mother can’t find you, she will come down to pick you up.”

“No, I’m looking for my mom!” Mel shook her head.

“Listen to uncle! We’ll stay here and wait for Mom to come to you!” The security guard tried to appease him. How could Mel listen to him? Mom often said that children could not go around, and they would meet bad people.

The bad guy especially stole children and sold them far away. He could no longer find his mother.

Thinking of this, Mel began to feel scared. “Is the uncle in front of me a bad guy?”

He remembered what his mother often said to him. Her mother said that when there were bad people, she must shout for help, so that someone would come to save him when they heard it.

But there was no one around, and no one would hear him calling for help. Mel began to nervously think of a solution.

Mom said she wanted to calm down and numb the bad guys.

Mel asked herself to sit on the sofa in the hall obediently. Seeing that he was obedient, the security guard was very happy. After a few words with him, he no longer paid attention to him.

Seeing the security guard making a phone call, Mel stood up from the sofa quietly and ran out.
