Chapter 116
After leaving the hotel, Amber went straight home. On his way home, he found that he had done something wrong on the spur of the moment tonight. How could she explain her relationship with Rodney to the manager?
The next day, when she went to the company, her heart was in a mess. She was afraid that the manager would ask her about the relationship with Rodney, but everything was different from what she thought. The manager treated her as usual, and she had no interest in gossip about where she and Rodney had gone last night.
Amber breathed a sigh of relief. She was secretly glad to have met a good manager, but she didn’t know that it was not that the manager didn’t gossip, but that he didn’t dare to ask. After she was taken away by Rodney last night, Deon went to talk to the manager specially. He meant that the manager should treat her better and he could find him in the future.
This was a great thing. With Deon’s protection, his performance would definitely reach a higher level in the future. The manager was not a fool. Making money was the most important thing. As for gossip, let’s do it!
At noon, Amber received a call from Kelsey. Only then did she realize that the jade pendant on her neck had been lost. It must have been pulled out by that beast Rodney when he took off her clothes in the bathroom. The jade pendant was left by her mother. Fortunately, it was picked up by Kelsey.
Amber went to the coffee shop next to the company to see Kelsey. Kelsey took out the jade pendant and handed it to Amber. Amber thanked her. He took the jade pendant and was about to put it into his bag. Kelsey suddenly reminded her, “Sister Ye, don’t you want to have a look?”
“What are you looking at?” Amber was stunned.
“Aren’t you afraid that I’ll drop your purse?” Kelsey asked half-jokingly.
“Ms. Farrell, you must be joking. I believe in Ms. Farrell’s character.”
Kelsey asked again, “This jade pendant looks very valuable. It should be very valuable. Is it a family heirloom?”
Amber smiled. “It’s not worth much, but it’s really valuable for me. After all, this is my mother’s relic. I really appreciate Ms. Farrell.”
The words “mother’s relic” made Kelsey’s heart skip a beat. “Amber’s mother is from the South City, isn’t she?”
“A native of South City!” Amber replied.
“Where is South City?” Kelsey asked again. Amber patiently told her the location, but Kelsey was addicted to it. “Does Sister Ye’s mother have any relatives in South City?”
This was like checking the household register, which made Amber a little annoyed. Although she was grateful to Kelsey for returning the jade pendant, it did not mean that she liked Kelsey and was willing to tell her something about her family.
Both of them were now Rodney’s lovers. When the two lovers gathered together to drink tea and chat, they felt a little disgusting. So, they said rudely, “I have something urgent to attend to in my company. Goodbye, Ms. Tian!”
Amber left in a hurry with the jade pendant. Kelsey frowned. She had never expected that Amber’s jade pendant would be her mother’s relic. Why did Amber’s mother’s relic be the same as what her mother left for her? Was there any connection between her mother and Amber’s mother?
Since her adoptive parents told her the secret of her family before her death, she had never given up looking for her birth mother. Although she was very sad that she was left in an orphanage and did not
ask about it, Kelsey always thought that she had her own difficulties. The mother’s love was great, and no mother would be willing to leave her children behind.
In the past few years, she had not given up on searching. However, her ability was limited, and there was only one piece of jade that could find the clue of her birth mother. The world was so big, and she had always felt that it was very small.
But she didn’t expect that she would accidentally find such an important clue. The two identical jade pendants were left by her mother. Could there be any relationship between her and Amber?
It didn’t take long for Kelsey to get back to the company. Rodney called her and asked her to go to the office. His face was very gloomy. “What are you going to do with Amber?”
“I…” Kelsey hesitated. Should she tell Rodney about this?
He had known Rodney for a long time, but he had never asked about her situation. She had never taken the initiative to say that today’s matter was a little tricky. It was not easy for her to find out the truth with her ability. It was better to tell Rodney to ask her for help.
Therefore, Kelsey told Rodney about the jade pendant. Rodney was obviously shocked. The reason why he came to see Kelsey was that she and Amber looked alike. Now, after hearing Kelsey’s words, he stared at her carefully. The more he looked at her, the more he felt that Kelsey and Amber looked alike.
Could it be that the relationship between Kelsey and Amber was really unusual? This matter had to be investigated carefully. All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
When Amber got home from work, there was a strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine in the room. She had been married to Rodney for three years and had drunk enough traditional Chinese
medicine. When she smelled the smell, she almost vomited. She controlled the rolling in her heart and said, “Aunt Maleah, who is sick?”
On the sofa, Shannon replied, “No one is sick. Celia is taking tonics.”
After that, he added, “Rodney said that Celia was too thin, so he went to find a famous doctor in other places to give her some tonic.”
He was deliberately provoking her. Naturally, Amber was not a fool. He went upstairs with a faint smile and heard Celia telling Aunt Maleah, “Watch it carefully. Rodney said that he spent a lot of energy on this traditional Chinese medicine. It’s hard to get it with money!”
“It’s hard to get a thousand gold coins.” Amber sneered in his heart. She closed the door and shut Celia’s show-off outside. She could not say that she was sad, but she was still touched.
She sat on the sofa in the bedroom and sighed heavily. Her phone rang. Amber picked it up and heard Rodney’s voice. “When will you move in?”
After a moment of silence, Amber replied, “Tomorrow.”
She had already missed a chance. This time, she must hurry up. No matter how disgusting she was when she saw Mr. Barron, she couldn’t compare with the smell of traditional Chinese medicine in this room, which made her uncomfortable.
After that marriage, she had a deep fear of the taste of traditional Chinese medicine! Rodney was satisfied with her answer, and his tone was very gentle. He asked her to tell him when she moved, and he came to pick her up.
Amber answered, “There’s no need to be so troublesome. It’s just love, not marriage. I don’t need to do it myself. Just let Deon send the key to her company.”
Her answer made Rodney inexplicably angry. This time, the phone call was interrupted.
Amber moved into Scent Villa the next day. When she moved out of the Black family, she told Channing that she would go back to accompany Ashton for a few days. Channing didn’t stop her and asked her to stay for a few days before moving back.
When Shannon and her daughter saw her move away, they smiled happily. With the move of this annoying nail, they could finally have a rest at home for a period of time.
In Hong Kong, Xigu was once the topic of people in South City after tea and meals. But Amber didn’t know that when Rodney built this villa, she was troubled by life, so she didn’t have any leisure time to pay attention to it.
After opening the door, she was shocked by the situation inside. The man Rodney actually used such a beautiful place to live up to his love. He was really generous.
Amber only brought a few clean clothes and personal belongings. When she came here, she had thought that if she was lucky enough, staying here for a month would be enough.
She opened the shoe cabinet and saw the furry cartoon slippers inside. A mocking smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. She used to like buying cartoon when she lived with Rodney.
The slippers, pajamas, and cups all liked to use cartoon. Rodney once protested that the things that liked cartoon were too childish. Now, seeing the cartoon slippers in the shoe cabinet, Amber thought that he was dazzled.
After so many years of hard wandering, she was no longer the girl who loved dreams and fantasy. Instead, she was a woman full of vicissitudes. Life was so cruel that she forced her to change her habits and personality.
Amber didn’t use the slippers in Rodney’s shoe cabinet. Instead, she put on the slippers she brought with her. Rodney was so dirty. Who knew that his things here were clean and clean?
Amber carried her luggage upstairs and opened the suitcase. She took out her clothes and hung them in the wardrobe. She was shocked when she opened the wardrobe. What she saw was cartoon pajamas.
Amber gave a wry smile. He picked an empty position and hung his clothes. Then, he put the toilet items into the bathroom. When she saw the cartoon cup in the bathroom, she shook her head. She didn’t expect that he would be addicted to cartoon after she left Rodney for nearly four years. Life was really like a fucking farce.
After putting the things away, she was about to tidy up the room when she heard the sound of a car coming to a stop outside. It was very clear that Rodney was coming over. This man Rodney came very quickly!
She gave up cleaning up and went downstairs. When she walked to the corner of the stairs, Rodney came in. It seemed that he was in a good mood. However, when he saw the large gray slippers on Amber’s feet, his face changed obviously. “There are slippers in the shoe cabinet, right?”
“Mu is really funny. Does he even care about what she wears?” Amber was unhappy, and his tone was very stiff. “I’m used to using my own things.”
Amber was very clear that he was challenging him. Rodney suppressed the unhappiness in his heart. “Let’s go eat!”
Amber didn’t say anything and went straight to the door. Rodney was stunned and followed her. After getting in the car, Rodney naturally reached out to help her fasten her seat belt, but Amber put it on in front of him. He felt a little embarrassed and put his hand back on the steering wheel. “What do you want to eat?”
“Whatever,” Amber replied indifferently. He kept staring out of the window and frowned. “There’s no such dish.”
“I’ll eat whatever you eat, Mr. Barron. I’m not picky about food.” Rodney said no more. Amber was indeed not picky about food. He started the car. There was a good Sichuan restaurant nearby. Although Amber was not picky about food, he had a unique taste of spicy food. He would go to have their first meal tonight.
The car was driving, but the atmosphere in the car was very quiet. Amber kept looking at the street view outside and did not look at Rodney at all. This was so different from the past.
Rodney felt uncomfortable. Just as he was about to speak, his phone rang. Rodney picked it up, and Celia’s gentle and coquettish tone came from inside. “Rodney, this medicine is so bitter!”
Rodney’s voice was very gentle. “This medicine is bitter. Drink it obediently. This medicine is used to recuperate your body…”
Amber didn’t want to listen to his gentle words of love, but they were in the same car. It was impossible to avoid it. When she heard Rodney gently let Celia take the medicine, she felt that there was something missing in her heart.
