Chasing My Rejected Wife

Chapter 144

Although he was surprised that Kelsey had resigned and gone abroad to further her studies, Rodney did not stop her. He readily agreed to Kelsey’s resignation and even asked the financial department to add a few more months of salary to Kelsey’s salary.

When they returned to the Scent Villa in the evening, Amber was talking to Mel on the phone. Mel said that she missed her mother and asked Amber when he would go to see him. Amber replied that he would go to see him in a few days.

When he saw that Amber had come back and hung up the phone in a hurry, he went up to her and pulled her to sit on the sofa. “Amber, uncle asked me to meet you today.”

“Why is he looking for you?” Amber asked. Channing had just gone to find Rodney, but her intuition told her that there was nothing good going on.

“Uncle, give me this thing.” Rodney showed Amber the painting that Channing had just given him.

Amber opened the painting and looked at it before putting it down. She didn’t know how to draw, but she guessed that it should be the ancient painting that Channing had just said, which was worth more than 100 million dollars. “Why did he give this to you?”

“He said that this is a dowry, a dowry for you and me.” Rodney had no intention of asking for Channing’s things, but when he saw that Channing was determined to write something like a loan agreement, he thought that Amber would have a share of Channing’s things after a hundred years, so he simply proposed the issue of the dowry and brought it back to Amber.

Amber did not expect that Channing would give the ancient painting to Rodney as a dowry. One of the reasons why she came back to recognize Channing was for this painting. Channing had tried his best to make excuses before, but now he was so generous. It was really strange. Thinking about it, Rodney reached out to hold her hand. “Amber, let’s get married!”

“Get married?” Amber asked. Although Rodney had mentioned marriage several times, it was the first time he had mentioned it like this. She was a little surprised. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

“Yes, we’re married.” Rodney looked deeply into her eyes. “Amber, I’ve been thinking about it for a long time, but I never dared to mention it to you. I know that I’ve hurt you too much, so I’m too ashamed to say that. But I really want to take care of you and your child. Amber, promise me!”

“Rodney, it’s not just two people getting married. Do you understand?”

“I understand. I will handle my mother’s matters well. Don’t worry, something like that won’t happen in the past.” Rodney promised.

“It’s not just your mother. I have a child…”

“Don’t worry. I like Mel very much. I will definitely treat him like my own child.”

Amber was silent. Mel was originally Rodney’s child. She was not worried that Rodney would do something bad to Mel. But now, it was not Mel’s problem that was in front of her. It was not worth believing that Rodney was worth it.

Thinking of Kelsey coming to reason with him rationally, Amber felt a little cold. In the past, he clearly knew that there was Celia around Rodney, who was eyeing him covetously, but she didn’t guard against him at all. As a result, she couldn’t accept it after the accident.

At that time, she was tired of dealing with Celia. But now, Rodney was no longer the young and immature Rodney. He was a tycoon in the business world. There was a row of women who coveted him outside. Amber would no longer put himself in such an awkward situation.

In addition to the woman beside Rodney, he also had a difficult mother. These were all facts in front of her and Rodney. However, Rodney was Mel’s biological father. Giving Mel a complete home had

always been her dream. Amber was really in a dilemma. Seeing that Rodney was still waiting for her answer, she had to say, “You’d better think about it again!”

“I’ve already thought it through very clearly. Amber, promise me!” Rodney begged. “I really won’t let you down again!”

Amber did not believe in the so-called guarantee at all, but Noemi also said that it was not a problem of a child now. If she could successfully get pregnant, she would have to face the problem of two children.

It was impossible for her to remain single for the rest of her life. She had to get married and find a father for her child. Without a doubt, Rodney was the most suitable candidate. She might be able to give it a try, but he wasn’t that bad. After a moment of silence, she nodded.

Rodney was so happy that he picked her up and carried her into the room to rotate. A few years ago, when she promised him that she would propose, he also carried her in his arms and spun in the room. Thinking of the past, Amber felt sad. He hoped that the result this time would not be the same as before.

Since she was engaged to Elliot, Breanna came to chat with Lannie every day to relieve her boredom. At first, Lannie was very nice to her, but later she gradually changed.

It was not as intimate as before, but a little alienated. After thinking about it for a while, Breanna did not find that she had done anything wrong. But why did Lannie suddenly change her attitude?

On this day, she brought gifts to visit Lannie. Lannie sighed and said, “Breanna, don’t come here with me in the future.”

“Auntie, do you hate me?”

“No, you are so obedient and sensible. How can I hate you? It’s just that you are so young and should play with a girl about your age. There is no need to face an old woman like me all day.”

“It’s good that you don’t hate me.” Breanna looked relieved. “Auntie, you don’t seem to be very happy these days. What happened?”

“Nothing happened. I’m just a little annoyed.”

“Is that so? Why don’t you tell me your worries? They say that there is something wrong with your worries. If you tell me, you will definitely be in a good mood.”

Lannie looked at her beautiful face and sighed. Her worries were all because of her son. After her son came back that day and said something like that, she had always felt uneasy. She was poor enough in this life. Breanna was so young. Should she follow her footsteps?

In the past few days, she had been thinking about it over and over again in her heart, especially when Breanna, who was so sensible, came to see her every day. She felt even more upset. She really liked this girl, so she wanted to keep her by her side. But now she found that she was wrong. What she did might hurt her.

“Breanna, did you make a three-year promise with Elliot?”

“Auntie, you know that too?”

“I’m sorry. I’m the one who harmed you.”

“Why do you say that?” Breanna was surprised.

“Elliot’s temper is the same as his father’s. Do you understand?” Lannie smiled bitterly. “He won’t give up even if he dies if he falls in love with someone. He didn’t forget Amber at all. It’s unfair to you. You’re still young and have plenty of choices. Don’t hang yourself on a tree.”

This meant that she should give up Elliot. It took Breanna a lot of effort to stand beside Elliot, so she wouldn’t listen to his advice. “Auntie, I love Elliot and I’m willing to stay with him for the rest of my life. Even if he doesn’t love me, I’m willing to do it.”

“Breanna, you don’t understand what I mean. I am worried that my current life is what you will look like in the future. Do you understand?”

Breanna did not understand. She was so beautiful and had so many tricks up her sleeve. She did not believe that Elliot would not be able to see her good for the rest of his life.

Lannie had no choice but to explain it in detail. “Back then, I loved Reece as much as you did. If he were dead, I would marry him. At that time, I thought the same. It doesn’t matter if he doesn’t love me. It’s good that I love him. I will definitely melt him with my heart and let him see me falling in love with him slowly. But what happened?”

Lannie’s face was bitter. “Even if I marry him, even if I give birth to children for him, he doesn’t care about me at all. I’ve been married to Reece since I was in my twenties. I’ve wasted so many years of my youth. What do you think I’ve got? The green lamp, the ancient Buddha, is the same as cultivation. Breanna, are you willing to live like this?”

Of course, Breanna did not want to live like this, but she was not scared away. She also knew something about Reece and Lannie. Lannie was too weak and kind, and her weakness and kindness were just superficial.

Reece had a good reputation before marriage, but Elliot was different. He was a famous playboy who had slept with countless women. She didn’t believe that Elliot could bear it.

The most important thing was that Breanna thought that Lannie was not sure of the opportunity. After she and Reece got married, Reece had stayed with her for several years. It was because Lannie had

no ability to keep a man.

Breanna and Lannie were not on the same level at all. If she was given a chance to let Elliot get along with her day and night, she would definitely have a way to make him fall in love with her.

Even if he fell in love with her body!

Seeing that she was stubborn, Lannie had to sigh and give up persuading her. She really couldn’t say anything about what had happened between her and Reece.

Since she and Reece got married, Reece had only touched her once. It was in a situation that neither of them could control themselves before marriage. Later, although they got married and lived in separate rooms, she had lived alone for so many years. The sadness and pain in her heart could not be expressed in words to outsiders.

Breanna chatted with Lannie for a while before taking her leave and returning home. Ever since she had plotted against Amber, the old lady no longer liked her as much as before. She looked at her with vigilance and vigilance.

It was really a big deal for Breanna to regain her image of having worked so hard for so many years. Fortunately, the old lady gave her some face. She didn’t tell Pierce about it, but he still treated her as usual.

Although the old lady had retired from the second rank, she had one-third of the Hammond family’s shares in her hands and still kept her word in the Hammond family. Breanna knew that the old lady would no longer treat her as before, but she could not let go of the old lady. Her father was not the best in the Hammond family. If it were not for the old lady and Pierce who liked her, she would have been pushed aside.

Although the Old Madam didn’t like her now, she didn’t show it to others. Therefore, in the eyes of others, she was the Old Madam’s favorite granddaughter. In order to maintain this illusion, even if the Old Madam didn’t like her anymore, she had to walk around in front of her.

Breanna deliberately went to buy the snacks that the old lady liked to eat. When she entered the Hammond family mansion, she saw that Pierce’s car was parked at the door. Breanna entered the living room. The old lady’s servants saw her and greeted her. “Big Master is here. He’s talking to the old lady in the study.”

The implication was that she should not disturb them. Breanna was not satisfied at all. She smiled and said, “Don’t worry. I won’t disturb them.”

She was so direct that the old madam’s servants were embarrassed, so she left. Breanna packed her snacks into a plate and went to the study.
