Chasing My Rejected Wife

Chapter 209

Seeing that Amber and Mel came back to celebrate Channing’s birthday, Shannon and Celia were shocked. They looked at each other and knew what Itzel meant. Didn’t Itzel say that Amber would soon leave South City? But the situation now was completely different from what Itzel had said. It seemed that they had to find time to ask Itzel what was going on.

The mother and daughter tried their best to smile at Amber and Mel. Shannon praised Mel. “Mel is so beautiful. When she grows up, she must be a handsome guy!”

Celia agreed with her mother. Mel asked Amber, “Mom, who are they?”

Amber pointed at Shannon and Celia and explained, “This is Mrs. Black, and this is Mrs. Black’s daughter. You can call her Ms. Black.”

Mel nodded. “Nice to meet you, Mrs. Black and Mrs. Black!”

This title almost made Shannon and her daughter spit blood. Seeing Celia’s big belly, Mel was very surprised. “Mom, Ms. Black’s belly is bigger than yours.”

“Yes, Ms. Black is pregnant with twins, so she is naturally older than her mother,” Amber said with a smile.

They thought that Amber would be very angry and unhappy when he saw that Celia was pregnant, but when he saw that Amber didn’t seem to mind at all, Celia and Shannon had an intuition that something was wrong, but they couldn’t figure out what was wrong.

Channing was also worried that Amber would say something unpleasant when he saw Celia’s belly. Amber’s reaction made him feel relieved. He took Mel’s hand and said, “Mel and Grandpa, go upstairs to have a look at the room.”

Mel was taken upstairs by Channing, and Amber followed him. Looking at the intimacy between Channing and Aunt Maleah, Shannon and Celia were really upset.

Celia lowered her voice and asked Shannon, “Mom, how could she act as if nothing had happened?”

“How would I know?” Shannon was not happy. “Calm down tonight. I don’t think it’s that simple. Amber is not easy to get along with. We have to be careful.”

Shannon and her daughter had never been at ease. They were afraid that something bad would happen to Amber. As a result, they had thought too much. They ate happily at dinner. Amber did not make trouble for them. When they had dinner and chatted, he even kindly told Celia to pay attention to some pregnant women. There was no hostility at all.

The more Amber behaved like this, the more restless Shannon and her daughter became. At night, Mel and Amber lived in the Black family. Mel was unwilling to sleep alone, so Amber was naturally worried about letting him sleep alone. The mother and son slept in the same bedroom.

Watching Amber take Mel into the bedroom, Celia also went back to her own bedroom. After a while, Shannon brought her a glass of milk and closed the door. Celia lowered her voice and said, “Mom, why do I feel that Amber is abnormal?”

“I also feel that she is abnormal. She has never liked you. How can she be so kind to you? If she is still calm to me, the more she is like this, the more uneasy I will be. I am worried that she will come back suddenly for the baby in your belly.”

“Will you?” Celia was shocked.

“That’s possible. You can never get pregnant again if you don’t have a child. If she wants to hurt you, things will be unimaginable. We have to find a way to deal with it.”

“How to deal with it?” What Shannon said was true. If she didn’t have a child, she would have no bargaining chip in the future. She had to be on guard against Amber.

“You can stay outside for a few days and come back when she leaves.” Shannon had no other choice but to persuade her daughter to stay away.

Celia was also afraid, so she agreed with her mother’s proposal.

Shannon, who was lying on the bed in the evening, couldn’t fall asleep. She kept guessing Amber’s intentions and didn’t fall asleep until the latter half of the night.

Shannon was dreaming. In her dream, it was the scene that happened on the road outside the tea room that day. Ashley was covered in blood and lying in a pool of blood. She stood at the door of the tea room and watched her struggle in pain. Looking at the blood on her body flowing away little by little, she felt happy.

After a few seconds, Ashley, who was lying on the ground, suddenly jumped up and threw herself at her. She shouted, “Shannon, give me back my life!” Shannon was scared out of her wits. She wanted to run away, but she couldn’t move.

When the bloody hands were about to grab her neck, Shannon suddenly opened her eyes. For fear that she would turn over and sit up, she felt that her back was covered with cold sweat. Channing, who was beside her, had just been awakened by her actions. He muttered, “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing. I’m thirsty. I want to get some water.” Shannon got up gently. She didn’t want to drink water, but her heart was beating fast. She was afraid that Channing would find her abnormal, so she chose to avoid it.

After pouring a glass of water in the kitchen, Shannon sat beside the dining table and drank up the glass of water. She felt a little calmer. She had had a lot of dreams like this after Ashley’s death, but

they were all about a few days after Ashley’s death. Now she couldn’t stand the death anniversary of Ashley at all. What was wrong with her? Why did she dream of this again?

She felt a little uneasy. She didn’t believe in ghosts and gods, but she didn’t know why she always felt uneasy today. She had been in a panic. Was something going to happen?

She recalled the scene of Ashley’s death. That day, she had an appointment with him. When Ashley rushed to the tea room, she smiled and said, ” Shannon, didn’t I ask you to come here and go directly to your home? Why don’t you go?”

Looking at Ashley’s smiling face, she didn’t smile at all. “It’s not appropriate to say it in your house!”

“What happened?”

She opened her bag and took out a photo from it and handed it to Ashley. “Look at this!”

Ashley took the photo and looked at it. Then she gave it back to her. “Whose child is he? He’s very beautiful!”

“Is she beautiful? Don’t you think she’s different when she’s beautiful?” she asked coldly.

“Other things are different?” Ashley took back the photo and looked at it again. “This child looks like you.”

“You look like me? It’s said that a daughter looks like a father, but this child doesn’t look like me, but she looks quite like her father.” She continued to sneer.

“Who is her father? Do I know him?” Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

“We know each other, how can we not know each other? You get along with each other every day?”

“What nonsense are you talking about?” Ashley was stunned.

“I’m not talking nonsense. This is indeed your husband’s child. He was born with another woman!” When she said this, Ashley’s face suddenly changed. She picked up the photo and looked at it carefully for a while.

The more she looked, the uglier her face became. Looking at Ashley’s pale face, she quickly understood. “Don’t you want to know who her mother is?”

“Who is it?” Ashley put down the photo and asked in a trembling voice.

“Me!” She sneered and said a word softly to Ashley. Ashley’s face changed and she looked at her in horror. “Impossible! How is that possible!”

“Why is it impossible? Other things can be deceived. Can this kind of thing also be deceived?” She looked at Ashley’s pale face. “I remember that Channing just came to South City for a business trip a few years ago, right? As a wife, you should find that the underwear he brought is missing. The underwear is still in my house.”

Shannon’s reminder reminded Ashley of Channing’s trip. She had always been the one to clean up and change clothes for him. When he came back from that business trip, he had lost a pair of underwear.

At that time, she asked curiously. At that time, Channing’s expression was a little unnatural. He said he lost it, but she didn’t think about it in this way.

However, she didn’t expect that his underwear would be left in her best friend’s house. She didn’t know how to feel. Ashley glared at her and said, “Shannon, I’ve always treated you as my best friend. There are so many men. Why do you want to be with Channing? Why?”

In the face of Ashley’s questioning, she sneered. “You should ask your husband this question, not me. If he wants to have a relationship with me, can I refuse?”

“I didn’t expect you to be such a shameless person. Well, I’m blind. Shannon, from now on, you’re the one-on-one of me!”

Ashley looked at her with contempt, but she was not as mad as she thought. After saying this, she got up and was ready to leave.

Seeing that she was about to leave, Shannon stopped her. “Wait a minute. I have something to tell you!”

Ashley ignored her and moved away. Shannon stopped her. “In fact, Channing had more than one lover. He had another woman outside and had a child.”

“Get lost!” Ashley gave her a word.

“Don’t believe it? I’ll let you believe it.” Shannon sneered. Ignoring Ashley’s disgust, she whispered three words in her ear. After she said those three words, Ashley’s expression instantly became as ugly as dead ash. “Nonsense!”

“Whether I am talking nonsense or not, you can check it out. You robbed her man. With her hatred for you, what can’t you do?” Shannon reminded her coldly. “I forgot to tell you that her child and my child are born to be together.”

“Why? Why are you doing this to me?” This was a big blow to Ashley. Her eyes lost their luster. Suddenly, she raised her hand and slapped Shannon hard on the face and stumbled away.

Not long after that, Ashley was knocked down by a truck on the side of the road. She witnessed the whole process. There was blood all over the ground, and she was struggling in a pool of blood…

Because it was late Club Cobalt, the room was too quiet. This memory made Shannon feel frightened in her heart. She didn’t dare to stay down anymore, so she got up and went upstairs. When she turned

the stairs, she saw a white figure with disheveled hair. She couldn’t help screaming.

The screams in the middle of the night were so shrill and high-pitched that everyone in the villa was awakened. Channing, Celia, and Aunt Maleah rubbed their eyes and walked out of the bedroom to check.

“What happened?” Looking at Shannon, who was standing at the corner of the stairs, and Amber, who was about to go downstairs, Channing asked with a frown.

“I don’t know either.” Amber innocently spread out his hands. “I was thirsty and wanted to drink water, so I went downstairs to pour some water. When I walked to the stairs, Mrs. Black just came up and suddenly shouted. I don’t know if she was possessed.”

Shannon covered her chest. She was the best at reacting to situations. “I seem to have seen a black cat just now. Its eyes are green. I’m most afraid of cats!”

“What’s the big deal? What’s there to be afraid of?” Channing frowned. “And there’s no cat in the villa. How did you see a cat?”

“She must be seeing things.” Celia immediately spoke up for her mother.

Amber didn’t say anything. She saw clearly that Shannon suddenly screamed when she looked up at her. She was not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. What was she afraid of?
