Chasing My Rejected Wife
Chapter 68

As the nanny of the Barron family, Riya was so vicious to the hostess. Celia felt a chill down her spine. After the matter was settled, she wanted Riya to take the money and get far away. But Shannon did not agree. She said that it was useful to keep it. Now it seemed that Shannon was right.

“Only half of the work was successful and you drove away the useful people. How can you do anything in the future? Before you officially become Mrs. Barron, Riya can’t go. Besides, Riya was used by me because of her son. She has something on me and can’t make waves.” Shannon snorted.

“Mom, you’d better think of a way to deal with the matter of Rodney and Amber’s wedding. I’m so worried.”

“As long as it’s confirmed that the child is not Rodney’s, there will be no problem.” Shannon was not too worried.

“The child is definitely not Rodney’s. If it was Rodney’s Rachel who could quarrel with Rodney, wouldn’t she be happy to have a child?” Celia was only worried that Rachel couldn’t control Rodney. “Riya said that now Rachel forced Rodney with her life.”

“I’ve told you that Rodney is not a dough. He won’t be at Rachel’s mercy. But it’s not easy for him to have a child.” Shannon sneered.

“Have you come up with a solution?”

“How could Rachel let her son help others raise their children? She will definitely replace a way to stop it.”

“What can she do? Rodney doesn’t care about her life and death now. How can she listen to her?”

“That’s because he knows that Rachel won’t really die. It’s good to use this method once. Only fools will be fooled.” Shannon sneered. “If I can’t persuade my son, Rachel will definitely start with Amber. At that time, we can add fuel to the fire and help her.”

After the quarrel between Rodney and Rachel, he felt very uncomfortable. He drove around aimlessly and unknowingly drove to Amber’s new home.

A familiar figure appeared not far in front of him. Rodney glanced at the figure and immediately thought about it. He immediately sped up and stopped in front of Amber.

Amber left in a hurry. He heard a loud bang as the car door opened and someone grabbed his arm.

“Amber!” A familiar voice rang in his ears.

Amber didn’t want to struggle free either, but her strength couldn’t compete with Rodney’s.

Amber was furious, and his voice was filled with anger. “Rodney, let me go!”

“I have something to tell you.” Rodney grabbed her hand and dragged Amber into the car and put down the lock, regardless of her resistance.

“I’m not interested in your words.” Amber struggled. He reached out to pull the door open, so he naturally couldn’t open it. Rodney held her hand and said in a hoarse voice, “Amber, sit with me for a while. Please!”

His voice was indescribably desolate. Amber’s body stiffened and he stopped subconsciously looking at him. Rodney’s eyes were filled with sadness. When she saw the sadness in his eyes, she suddenly felt a pain in her heart.

Her heart, which she had thought had long been numb and would no longer hurt, suddenly ached. Amber looked away and pulled his hand out of Rodney’s hand. He tried to make himself as calm as possible and said, “What do you want to say?”

Rodney didn’t say anything but just stared at her. Amber asked again, and then he sighed deeply. “Amber, you’ve been living a hard life all these years, haven’t you?”

“I’m used to it!” she replied flatly.

Rodney looked at her beautiful profile, and his heart was as painful as a knife. “Amber, I’m a bastard. I’m a big bastard. I was wrong. I’m sorry…” He spoke incoherently.

Ever since he knew that she had been forced into a corner and could only choose to get married, he knew that he was wrong. He was wrong.

He thought about all the past countless times, and every time he thought about it, he would be late. He was a bastard, a scum. How could he swear to himself that he would protect a woman for the rest of his life like this?

Rodney’s apology made Amber turn his head. Some mistakes could not be made up by an apology. She said lightly, “Did you come here to talk about this with me?”

“Amber, I didn’t mean to hide Celia’s pregnancy from you. I wanted to tell you, but I didn’t have the courage. I was afraid that you wouldn’t accept it…”

“There’s no point in saying these things now. It’s all in the past!” Amber interrupted him.

Which woman would accept her husband and another woman to have children? Rodney found it really funny. After so many years, he still wanted to explain. Could such a thing be clear with just a simple explanation? Didn’t he know that it was hard to accept?

“Mr. Barron, in fact, you don’t have to tell me these things. We are already divorced. Everything in the past is no longer important. There is no need to explain.”

“Amber, I know you hate me very much, and I hate myself too.” Rodney’s eyes were full of remorse. “If I knew it would be like this, I would never let you go…”

“Mr. Barron, if you just want to apologize and get my forgiveness, I don’t think it’s necessary at all. I won’t accept your apology. You’d better let me go!” Amber interrupted Rodney again.

“Amber, I don’t want to apologize. I want to make up for it. Give me a chance to make up for my mistakes!”

“How can I make up for it?” Amber sneered.

“Let me take care of you and your child. I swear I won’t let you get hurt again!”

“An oath?” Amber almost burst out laughing. “Isn’t it enough for Rodney to swear to me in the past? But what did he do?”

She said that she would give her warm home, but in the end, she had to face her mother’s torture and abuse every day. She said that she would only love her for the rest of her life, but he gave birth to a child with the woman she hated the most. Hatred appeared in Amber’s eyes.

“Mr. Barron, you’d better go back and tell your girlfriend. I don’t need an oath, and I won’t believe it!”

“Amber!”

“It’s very late. I have to go to work tomorrow. Mr. Barron, please let me go.”

Rodney looked at her determined eyes and finally opened the door. “Amber, I remember every word I have said to you. I have never forgotten our love! I will never let go of your hand!”

Amber didn’t expect him to say something like that, and he felt a sudden sense of surprise in his heart. Her hand that was pulling the door paused for a moment, and finally, she opened the door.

After getting out of the car, she looked at the man in the car and said, “Rodney, ever since you cheated on Celia, from the moment you asked me to get out of the house, all my feelings for you and my unwillingness to give up. Don’t expect that a person who has been hurt by you will still obediently return to your side to accept your so-called compensation. I am not so cheap!”

Her voice was very soft, but it sounded like thunder in his ears. His face instantly turned pale, and his eyes lost their light. His lips were trembling, as if he wanted to say something, but all the words were stuck in his throat.

Amber’s eyes flashed with joy as she looked at her grief and disbelief. She turned around and strode away.

After arguing with Rodney, Rachel felt as if her heart was on fire. Her son actually wanted to raise another person’s child and bring back that annoying woman. How could that be?

She would never allow her son to do that, but Rodney did not listen to her at all. During this period of time, he left early and returned late. He did not show up at home except for sleeping.

Rachel asked his secretary and knew that there was nothing serious about business recently. She knew very well that her son was looking for the vixen again.

In the past, she had always been the one to restrain Rodney by rolling around and seeking death. However, ever since that day, Rodney had said those heartless words, Rachel understood that this trick was no longer useful. Since she could not convince her son, she had to replace that woman in a different way and humiliate her so that she would know what she was doing.

Wasn’t she living a hard life? She could just give her some money. If money couldn’t solve the problem, she would have to be ruthless. She didn’t believe that a powerless woman like her couldn’t fight against her.

Seeing Rachel in the morning, Amber felt that he had really seen a ghost. Rachel put on a fake smile and said, “Miss. Stone, let’s talk.”

Amber didn’t want to talk to her at all, but she knew how patient this seemingly noble woman was. She didn’t want to be entangled with her, so she and Rachel went to a nearby tea room.

Rachel gracefully picked up the cup and took a sip of tea, as if the person with tea on his face that day was not her. “When I went back that day, I heard Rodney talk about what happened to you. As a woman, you have suffered a lot. It’s not easy for you to take care of your child alone, so I decided to give you some money.”

Although she tried her best to talk to Amber in a gentle tone, Amber only felt that her words were extremely ironic. She couldn’t help laughing. “When did Mrs. Barron become a philanthropist?”

Rachel’s face was a little hot. She controlled herself. “I heard that you had a hard time after your divorce with Rodney…”

“There are too many people who are not doing well. Don’t tell me that Mrs. Barron will give everyone money?”

“Of course not. I want to give you money because we are a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. I can understand how hard it is for a single mother to take care of a child.”

“Thank you for your kindness, but I don’t need it. I have the ability to support my son.”

“Amber, you have to think about the child and your future. With this money, you don’t have to work so hard. You can give the child a good future. As a mother, what is more important than the child’s future?”

“You’re right. As a mother, nothing is more important than the child’s future.”

“So you’re giving me my money?” Rachel was pleasantly surprised.

“According to my understanding of Mrs. Barron, you shouldn’t belong to this kind of kind of person who is full of love. You should know your roots well. It’s better to be direct. What’s your purpose?”

Rachel’s face was a little hot. “I hope you leave South City as soon as you get the money. Don’t show up in front of Rodney for the rest of your life.”

“Why?” Amber sneered. “The South City is my home. Why should I leave?”

“Amber, your appearance has a great impact on Rodney. I don’t want my son to live in guilt for the rest of his life.”

“He’s not afraid of ghosts knocking on his door if he doesn’t do something bad. What’s there to feel guilty about?” Amber sneered.

The expression on Amber’s face made Rachel feel that there was probably no chance for her to leave with money. She was no longer patient. “What can you do to let Rodney go?”

“Mrs. Barron, if you have no problem with your brain, you should remember that your son and I had divorced a long time ago. I let him go three years ago.”

“Amber, don’t play dumb. If you hadn’t pestered Rodney, why would he say that he would be with you? I’m telling you, I will never agree to your engagement with Rodney. You’d better give up.”

“Which eye of yours saw me pestering your son?” Amber was furious. “Your son shamelessly pestered me! Let me tell you, I’m not interested in your son! If you have the leisure to come replace me, why don’t you spend more time and energy on your son? You have a lot of tricks up your sleeve, don’t you? You’re just rolling on the ground searching for death. Once you use them, they’ll work.”

Rachel frowned slightly. “Since you refuse to admit that you’re pestering Rodney, then I’ll make things clear. If I replace out that you’re in contact with Rodney again, I swear I won’t let you off!”
