Chasing My Rejected Wife

Chapter 150

“Rodney, are you being unreasonable?” Amber was furious. “What right do you have to make such a decision?”

“Because I’m Mel’s father!”

“Father? How dare you say that? Who drove me out of the sect? From the moment you asked me to get out of my house, my child and I had nothing to do with you!” Amber retorted.

“Amber, I’ve already explained what happened back then to you. I had no choice but to do so!” Rodney clenched his fists, and the veins on his fists stood out, showing that he was in great pain. Back then, the pain was something that he could not touch. In the past few years, he had never felt at ease.

“Yes, you have your difficulties, but so what? Don’t you need to pursue the matter of killing people with difficulties?” Amber wanted to control his emotions, but he really couldn’t.

“Amber, I know I’m in the wrong. I’m willing to change. I’m willing to spend the rest of my life to atone for my sins. Is that okay?”

“No!” Amber refused straightforwardly. “Rodney, not all mistakes can be forgiven!”

“Don’t force me!” Rodney glared at Amber. “I told you that I won’t let my child call someone else father!”

“Father? In addition to providing life, what have you given Mel? Mr. Barron, ask yourself, do you really have the face to be a father?” Pierce reminded him.

“I will make up for it! I will do my best to make up for it!” Rodney repeated.

“But Mel won’t let you make up for it. For him, you are just a stranger. He doesn’t care about your compensation!”

“Amber, you don’t care about my compensation, do you? As Mel’s mother, what right do you have to strip me of my right to be a father?”

“When you were pregnant, your pregnant mother beat and kicked me, and you asked me to get out of the house. I rolled down the mountain and broke my leg. I ran around with my son and had no way out. When my son was sick, I called you to ask for help, but you refused. There were countless reasons for me to refuse you. What do you have to question?”

“I…” Rodney looked at Amber and didn’t say anything. He knew that he had hurt Amber too deeply and knew that he couldn’t be forgiven. Amber’s every word was a mistake that he couldn’t refute. He had committed a grave sin. Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

Seeing that Rodney was speechless, Amber didn’t feel relieved at all. Pierce didn’t feel sorry for him either. Pierce had seen very clearly what Amber had suffered back then.

Madam Hammond, who was upstairs, had been paying attention to what was happening below. She came out to smooth things over. “Amber, it’s getting late. Take Mel with you and have a rest!”

Then he looked at Rodney and said, “Mr. Barron, if you don’t mind, you can stay here!”

“Grandma!” Amber and Pierce shouted at the same time. It was obvious that they were opposed to the Old Madam’s order to stop Rodney. The Old Madam waved her hand, motioning for her grandson and Amber to calm down. She only ordered the housekeeper to prepare a room for Rodney to rest.

The butler stepped forward politely and said, “Mr. Barron, please come with me!”

Rodney was naturally very grateful for the old lady’s proposal. “Thank you very much, Old Madame!”

Rodney followed the butler and left. Pierce looked at the old lady, complaining, “Grandma, why did you let him stay here?”

“Since Rodney has chased us here, it’s impossible for him to leave like this. In order to make him resentful and become enemies with us, it’s better to show his kindness and find a solution first,” the old lady replied. She looked at Amber and said, “We don’t want to see things develop like this now. After all, he is Mel’s biological father. If Rodney uses force, the consequences will be bad for everyone.”

Amber was silent. The old lady had experienced many things, so what she said made sense. Indeed, if Rodney forced her, the consequences would not be good for everyone.

Amber walked into Mel’s room. He was already asleep. She sighed and walked to the bedside to gently tuck in Mel’s quilt. Then she sat by the bed and looked at Mel’s little face in a daze.

After knowing the truth, Rodney would definitely not give up so easily. Looking at his performance tonight, she knew that if he continued to pester her, what should she do?

The door was gently pushed open and Pierce walked in. Seeing Amber’s tightly furrowed brows, he lowered his voice to comfort him. “Amber, don’t worry. I’m here! Don’t worry!”

Amber smiled at him. “Pierce, thank you! Fortunately, you’re here!”

“Rodney isn’t an evil person. He just can’t accept it for a while. When he thinks it through, everything will be fine!” Pierce added.

“I know. Pierce, you must be very tired after a busy day. Go and have a rest. I’m fine here!” Amber was moved when he saw Pierce’s tired face. Pierce had to manage the company and take care of Mel. He was really tired during this period of time. Now that she was back, she could take care of Mel alone.

“Alright, I’m going to rest. You should rest early too!”

Not long after Pierce left, Rodney entered Mel’s room. Seeing him come in, Amber was on guard. “What are you doing here?”

“Amber, I’m here to see the child.” Rodney’s attitude was particularly good.

As he spoke, he sat down by the bed. He looked at Mel with tenderness in his eyes. Amber wanted to drive him away, but he found that he had no way to say it. No matter what happened, Rodney was indeed Mel’s father. She had no right to strip him of his father’s power.

Rodney had never dreamed that he would have a child after he and Amber divorced for such a long time. He didn’t believe Breanna’s words very much. He just held on to the last glimmer of hope. In the end, everything was confirmed that it was indeed his child!

Rodney’s trembling hand gently fell on Mel’s head. He lowered his head and gently planted a kiss on his forehead. “Son! My son!” His heart was filled with happiness, but it was also full of sadness.

His son should have enjoyed his father’s love and had no worries about food and clothing, but he was forced to drift away because of him. He was seriously ill at such a young age.

His hand caressed Mel’s face again. He was very careful, as if he was his most precious treasure. Amber, who was watching from the side, was a little worried. She stopped him and said, “Rodney, don’t wake him up!”

“I won’t wake him up. Amber, I’ll stay here with him tonight!” Rodney pleaded in a low voice.

“No!” Amber shook his head.

“Amber, I am his father, his biological father! Let me accompany him, please!” Rodney’s voice was choked with sobs. In the past, he did not know that he would let the mother and son get married. Now that he knew the truth, how could he tolerate such a situation? Just now, he had thought that it was understandable that Amber hated her. He had no reason to blame Amber.

What he had to do now was to make up for it as much as possible. Whether it was the child or Amber, he had to make up for it as much as possible. He would never allow anyone to hurt his woman and child again!

Amber was not at ease. “Rodney, I know what you’re feeling right now. However, Mel is still ill. I don’t want him to get agitated. Do you understand?”

“I understand. I’m just guarding him. I don’t do anything, I don’t say anything. Can’t I do this?”

“No, you’re just an outsider to Mel. He’ll be surprised when he wakes up and sees you.” Amber paused for a moment. “In his current situation, how can I explain it to him?”

Rodney was a little annoyed. “He’s still young. He won’t have so many questions.”

“Although he is young, he is very sensitive. Now he is sick. I don’t want him to know that you are his father. I am afraid that he can’t accept it.”

Amber bit her lips. This was undoubtedly the best excuse at the moment. She hoped that Rodney would believe her. “What I mean is that you should stay away from him for the time being. When he gets better, I will tell him that you are his biological father and I won’t stop you from visiting him. What do you think?”

“This reason is really good, but I can’t accept it!” Rodney looked up at Amber. He was not a fool, so he naturally knew that this was the reason why Amber refused to let him get close to Mel.

“I won’t tell him that I’m his father for the time being, but I’ll stay here to take care of him during this period of time. I didn’t participate in everything about him before. From now on, I won’t miss every minute and second!”

“You!” Amber’s expression changed. Rodney was determined not to leave. She and Rodney had been married for several years, so she naturally knew that he was stubborn. It seemed that this matter was not easy to solve.

Rodney insisted on accompanying Mel. Amber had no choice but to go back to his room to rest. He didn’t sleep well that night. He woke up very early in the morning. She got up and went to Mel’s room. She found that Rodney was helping Mel put on her clothes. Mel didn’t resist him. Instead, she asked him in a childish voice, “Uncle Rodney, will you stay here with me in the future?”

“Yes! Uncle Huo will be with you every day in the future!”

Mel couldn’t believe it. “You’re lying again, aren’t you?”

“No! This time, Uncle Rodney won’t lie to you again!” Rodney answered guiltily. Mel found Amber at the door. “Mom, Uncle Rodney said that he would accompany me to the hospital for an examination today!”

Amber controlled himself to come in with a smile as much as possible. “My good son, are you feeling unwell?”

“No.”

“Then let’s have breakfast. After breakfast, we’ll go to the hospital.”

Rodney insisted on going to the hospital with him. While Pierce was driving, he was sitting in the back row with Mel in his arms. Mel did not resist his approach at all. They were all very happy along the way. Amber frowned slightly, feeling extremely annoyed.

After the examination, Rodney stayed for a long time to communicate with the doctor. On the way back, Amber held Mel in his arms. Pierce was still driving. Mel went home and fell asleep again.

After putting Mel on the bed, Amber walked out of the room and saw Pierce and Rodney talking in the living room. Rodney was thick-skinned. “Thank you for taking care of my son during this period of time, President Tang. I won’t say thank you for your great kindness. If you need my help in the future, feel free to tell me!”

Pierce smiled faintly. “Mr. Barron, you’re too kind. It’s only right for me to take care of my fiancee and child!”

Rodney’s expression changed slightly. “It’s too early to say that. President Tang, it’s best if you don’t come to a conclusion too early.”

“I forgot to tell Mr. Barron that Amber and I will go to get our marriage certificate the day after tomorrow.”

As soon as Pierce’s voice fell, Rodney stood up. “I will never agree!”

“Why?”

“Just based on the fact that the child in Amber’s belly is mine!” Rodney was no longer calm.

Pierce sneered. “It doesn’t affect the marriage between Amber and me!”

“Pierce, you’re taking advantage of others! It’s not what a gentleman should do!”

“President Murong, this has nothing to do with gentlemen, right?”

“Anyway, I won’t allow you to marry Amber. I will never allow that!”

“Let’s wait and see!” Pierce turned a blind eye to Rodney’s anger. “I won’t be accompanying Mr. Barron anymore. The company has something to deal with
