Chasing My Rejected Wife

Chapter 158

When they returned to the hospital, they saw Rodney playing with Mel in the ward, which made Mel very happy. Seeing Amber come in, Mel couldn’t restrain her excitement. “Mom, mom, Uncle Rodney said that he would go to the park with me to row after I leave the hospital. Can you go with me?”

“Okay.” Amber didn’t want his son to be unhappy and go along with what he said.

“Uncle Rodney also said that he wanted to give me an aircraft carrier, an aircraft carrier that can blow up. Then I can play with the aircraft carrier in the swimming pool.” Amber glanced at Rodney calmly. Rodney was trying to bribe Mel, but she would not let him do as he wished. “You forgot what I said to you. If you like toys, tell me. I will buy them for you, but you can’t accept things for strangers.”

“But Uncle Rodney said that the aircraft carrier is a limited edition, and ordinary people can’t buy it.”

“If you can’t buy it, you can let Uncle Pierce buy it. Uncle Pierce is not an ordinary person.”

“That’s right. Uncle Pierce is a very big president. He’s not an ordinary person.” Mel’s eyes lit up. “Uncle Rodney, I don’t want your aircraft carrier anymore. My mom told me not to casually accept things from strangers, so I’m sorry.”

The smile on Rodney’s face suddenly disappeared a little, and his eyes dimmed. Amber was completely unapproachable!

Amber was pissed off by Rachel just now. When she saw Rodney, she was annoyed. If it weren’t for the fact that she was worried about Mel, she would have kicked him out a long time ago. Thinking about Mel, she tried her best not to lose her temper. It took her a lot of effort to coax Mel to fall asleep. She pulled a long face and said, “Mr. Barron, please don’t come again in the future, okay?”

“Why? Didn’t you promise me to accompany Mel until he got sick?”

“That was before, but things are different now.” Amber looked at Rodney coldly. “Pierce and I are going to get married soon, and Mel also regards Pierce as her father. It’s not appropriate for you to be here!”

“Are you afraid that I will hinder you?” There was hurt emotion in Rodney’s eyes. “Amber, you said that you wouldn’t stop me from meeting Mel. What’s the big deal?”

“There’s no need to keep your word when it comes to someone like you who goes back on his word.” Amber was not polite at all. “Rodney, I know what you’re up to. But I’m telling you, I’ll never compromise. Show me what you can do!”

Rodney was stunned for a moment before he immediately realized what was going on. “Did my mother say something to you again?”

Amber sneered. “Don’t pretend to be innocent. Rodney, if you were a man, you would dare to take responsibility. Don’t push everything to your mother like a child who hasn’t grown up.”

Rodney’s face turned pale and he left the hospital without saying a word. He had to ask his mother what she wanted to do. In the face of his aggressive questioning, Rachel answered calmly, “Son, I did it for your own good this time. Amber and Pierce are going to get married soon. I just wanted to stop her.”

Rodney had nothing to say to his mother. He called Deon and said, “Send a private jet to pick her up immediately!”

“I’m not leaving!” Rachel panicked when she saw how ruthless he was.

Rodney didn’t care. “Mom, you have to leave this time. There’s no room for discussion!”

Rachel sat down dejectedly. It seemed that she had to go back this time. It was all Breanna’s bad idea that made her fall into such a situation. She called Breanna aggressively and scolded her. However, Breanna was not angry. “Congratulations, Mrs. Barron. You will soon succeed!”

“What do you mean you want it to be done? Don’t make sarcastic remarks!”

“Have you forgotten the second idea I told you that day? Isn’t this the best opportunity?” Rachel’s eyes lit up, and her anger suddenly disappeared. This was indeed a good opportunity for her! Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Mel stayed in the hospital for another day. The next day, Amber took him out of the hospital. On the day of leaving the hospital, it was Mel’s birthday. Pierce held a small birthday party for Mel at home in order to make Mel happy.

Pierce invited many children nearby. Mel was so bored in the hospital that he received so many gifts and many people celebrated for him. He was very happy. In the midst of the blessings, he extinguished the candles with Amber and Pierce. Mel put his hands together and began to make wishes.

After making the wish, Pierce asked him curiously, “Tell me, what wish did you make?”

Mel whispered a few words into Pierce’s ear. Pierce kissed Mel’s little face a few times happily. Beside him, Breanna and Amber were very curious. “What is Mel’s wish?”

“If I don’t tell you, it won’t work.” Mel refused to say.

“You’ve already told Uncle Pierce. Why can’t you tell Mom?” Amber was jealous.

“Well, let me tell you, my wish is for Uncle Pierce to become my father immediately,” Mel answered in a childish voice.

Rodney appeared at the door with a gift in his hand. He came to the Hammond family in the evening to see Mel and knew that it was Mel’s birthday. So he immediately went to pick out a birthday present for Mel and rushed back without stopping. When he came back, he saw Mel making a wish. He was also very curious about what his son would make a wish. When he heard Mel’s wish, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared.

Breanna saw Rodney at the door, and a cold smile appeared on her face. “Mel, since you like Uncle Pierce so much, why don’t you call him dad instead?”

“No, I can’t call him dad. I made a mistake before.” Mel was talking about Elliot. He used to like Uncle Pierce to be a father, but Uncle Elliot said that his mother liked him and asked him to call him father. He thought that Uncle Elliot was a good person, so he called him father. As a result, he didn’t want him and his mother anymore. “I have to wait until Uncle Pierce and my mother get married before I can call him father!”

Mel then looked at Amber expectantly. “Mom, when are you getting married to Uncle Pierce?”

Amber glanced at Pierce subconsciously. When she saw Pierce’s bright eyes, she lowered her head and looked at him happily. “Mom, I really want a father. You and Uncle Pierce should get married quickly, so that I can call him Uncle Pierce’s father!”

Hearing his son’s pleading voice, Amber felt a burst of pain in his heart. His son was too pitiful. A smile appeared on her face. “Mom will marry Uncle Pierce tomorrow!”

“Great! I finally have a father!” Mel was extremely excited. She hugged Amber and kissed him a few times. Then, she went to kiss Pierce. Seeing Mel so happy, Breanna also smiled. “Tomorrow, you go to witness the marriage. Grandma will immediately ask someone to plan the wedding. I will definitely give you a grand wedding!”

“Grandma, don’t bother.” Amber was embarrassed.

“Of course! Of course! How could I, the young master of the Hammond family, marry without a sound? I want to invite all the celebrities!” Breanna sneered when she heard Madam Hammond’s words. In a flash, she picked up her glass and said, “Congratulations, brother! Congratulations, Amber! I wish you a happy marriage!”

Amber was a little surprised by Breanna’s change. Wasn’t she unhappy that she had something to do with Pierce? Thinking about this, she picked up the drink and accepted Breanna’s congratulations with Pierce.

“Mom, I want to be your flower boy!” Mel interrupted.

“Okay, let Mel be our flower boy!” Pierce smiled, looking at Amber with gentle eyes.

Rodney stood at the door in a daze and looked at everything in front of him. When he heard the crowd congratulated Amber and Pierce, he felt helpless. For Amber and Mel, Pierce was their relative. He was just an outsider. No matter what he did, he could not change Amber’s opinion of him. He could not stay any longer. He gently placed the toy in his hand on the ground and turned to leave the Hammond family.

He didn’t know where he was going. He wandered aimlessly on the street. He didn’t know how long he had been walking for, but he finally got tired. He sat down on the side of the road, and a couple walked past him. The smile on their faces was so beautiful and so sweet. He had once had such a beautiful thing, but why did he lose her?

A coquettish voice echoed in his ears. “Rodney, I love you. I will never change it!” The vow was still there. Everything was different. Sitting on the street of a foreign country and looking at the neon lights, Rodney tried his best to force back the tears in the corners of his eyes, but he found that it was in vain. The business tycoon who couldn’t control himself was sitting on the street of a foreign country, with tears streaming down his face.

According to Rodney’s instructions, Deon immediately sent a private jet to pick up Rachel. He was worried and followed her. However, when he arrived in the U.S., he could not find Rodney anywhere. No one answered the call. Deon was anxious. Would anything happen to Mr. Barron?

He really had nowhere to find Rodney, so he went to the Hammond family. Mel’s birthday party was over. Amber took Mel upstairs to rest. The servants were cleaning up. When they saw the remote control aircraft carrier at the door bringing it to Mel, Mel was very happy. “What a beautiful remote control aircraft carrier! Who gave it to me as a gift?”

Amber was stunned. That day, Rodney said that he wanted to send Mel aircraft carrier. Could it be that he was the one who sent it? But why didn’t he come in since he was here? Did he hear that he and Pierce were going to get married tomorrow?

Mel didn’t know what Amber was thinking. She held the aircraft carrier happily. “Uncle Rodney said that he wanted to give me such an aircraft carrier that day, but he didn’t come today.” She sounded a little disappointed.

Amber came back to his senses and touched his head. “This is what Uncle Rodney gave you.”

“Where’s he? Why didn’t he say hello to me? I haven’t thanked him yet.” Mel pouted. He still liked Rodney.

“Thank you in the future.” Amber stroked Mel’s head and said. Then, Pierce came in. “Just now, Rodney’s special assistant, Deon, came to find him. He said that Rodney was missing and couldn’t find him anywhere. He couldn’t get through to the phone. I’ll accompany Deon to look for him.”

Amber paused for a moment and steeled himself. “It’s impossible for such a big living person to go missing. Don’t worry about him.”

“This place is different from the country. It’s not peaceful here. Rodney is not familiar with this place. If something goes wrong, I’d better go and look for him.”

Amber’s words were tough, but in fact, he was very uneasy. “Go ahead. Call me if you have any news.”
