Chapter 51
The person in the photo looked exactly the same as Amber. Rodney suspected that something was wrong with his eyes. He looked closely and found that it was Amber. In the photo, Amber was dressed simply and looked like he was 18 or 19 years old.
How could Amber’s photo appear in Channing’s book? When he put the photo into the book and was about to close it, he saw the word “My Love” written on the back of the photo.
“My love? Is Channing’s love Amber?”
How could it be possible? How could Amber beChanning’s lover? Channing was young enough to be Amber’s father. Suddenly, he remembered that Channing had reached out to take Amber’s hand outside the tea house. Could it be that Channing had taken a fancy to Amber? So, Channing had taken the initiative to give the company to Amber?
This could also explain why Channing wanted to compensate him with the sports meeting. He felt guilty.
While thinking about it, Channing had just finished speaking on the phone. He turned his head and continued to talk about the sports meeting with him.
Rodney was not in the mood to listen to this. He controlled himself to put the book back in its original position. “I’ve also heard about the sports meeting, but the Mr. Thomson family seems to be preparing a share. If the Mr. Thomson family is also involved, I’m afraid it won’t be that easy.”
Channing was stunned. “Who told you that?”
“It’s just a rumor! But there’s 80% of the truth. With the Thomson Family’s strength, they won’t miss such a good opportunity.” Rodney observed Channing’s expression. “I’m afraid there will be variables at that time.”
Channing’s expression changed visibly. There were both daughters on both sides, and their hands and hands were full of flesh. However, he owed Amber more. If Amber made this request, he would definitely satisfy Amber first.
Rodney took in the change in Channing’s expression and an inexplicable emotion rose in his heart. He had always thought that Channing was a good official in the officialdom.
But he didn’t expect that he was the same as the others. He controlled his impulse to hit someone and said goodbye with an excuse that he had something to say.
Rodney’s emotions were complicated. He couldn’t imagine what kind of relationship Channing and Amber would have. Was there already a relationship between them or was it because Channing had feelings for Amber?
Amber wasn’t that kind of person. She decided that she wouldn’t have anything to do with someone who could be her father! So must it be that Channing had feelings for her?
It must be so! Amber was beautiful, and Channing must be coveting her beauty. Elliot was extremely cunning, so he used Amber as bait to lure Channing.
It seemed that Elliot didn’t really love Amber. He was just using him. He knew that the playboy didn’t have any good intentions, so he thought about driving the car all the way to Amber’s neighborhood.
After Amber returned home to have dinner with Ashton and Mel, she took Mel for a walk outside. She came back and watched two TV series. When she saw the time to sleep, she immediately helped Mel take a shower and put on pajamas. Mel wanted to have a glass of milk before going to bed. Amber opened the refrigerator and found that the milk at home was gone, so she had to go out to buy it.
When she walked out of the alley, she suddenly felt that someone was paying attention to her. She turned her head and saw a car parked in the open space at the alley entrance. The car’s exterior
looked very low-key. Seeing the person sitting in the car, Amber was shocked.
Even through the car window, Amber could still feel the deep and cold eyes of the people in the car. She did not dare to look again and turned to the small shop.
As soon as she ran a few steps, she heard the sound of the door closing behind her. Soon, a familiar smell approached her.
Rodney stopped Amber without saying a word. Seeing that he couldn’t dodge, Amber had to say with a cold face, “Sir, let me borrow it!”
Rodney looked at her frosty face and thought of how she used to smile sweetly at him. He felt terrible. “Amber, what’s the relationship between you and Channing?”
Amber was stunned. “What does Rodney mean? Does he know his relationship with Channing? So what if he knows? It’s all in the past! It’s all in the past!” “Does it have anything to do with you?”
Amber’s answer made Rodney’s heart in a mess. Was she indirectly acknowledging it? “How can you be so shameless? Channing’s age is enough to be your father!”
Only then did Amber realize what Rodney meant. She sneered and said in a harsh tone, “Say, what does it have to do with you? Sir?”
“You…” Rodney’s face was gloomy. Amber saw him clenching his teeth tightly. He looked as if he was going to hit someone. Amber felt a little scared, but he still looked up and puffed out his chest to stare at him. Rodney gritted his teeth for a long time and finally said, “Is this the life you have worked so hard to get?”
“Can’t I?” Amber asked.
“Amber, I really regret knowing you!” Rodney’s eyes were full of pain as he stared at Amber. He would rather Amber and Pierce be a couple, and he would rather Amber and Elliot than let her have a relationship with an old man.
“We’ve been strangers for a long time! Sir! Please lend me!” Amber was not polite at all. This time, Rodney did not stop her and allowed her to leave.
When Amber came back with the milk, she found that Rodney was gone. She rushed into the house with the milk in her hand. Ashton was a little surprised to see her in a panic. “What’s wrong, Amber?”
“Uncle, I just saw Rodney at the alley entrance.”
“Why did he come here so late Club Cobalt?” Ashton was also very surprised. “Is it because he saw Mel? No, he didn’t see Mel’s face clearly at all, so I left with Mel in my arms.”
“Whether he can see Mel’s face or not, we can’t stay here any longer. Tomorrow, let’s go to the new house to tidy up and move immediately.”
“Okay! I’ll listen to you.” Ashton agreed.
Rodney returned home wearily. Rachel was waiting for him in the living room. “Rodney, you’re back!”
Rodney, who was in low spirits, walked through the living room and was about to go upstairs. Rachel stopped him and said, “Come and talk to me.”
Rodney glanced at Rachel and walked to the sofa opposite her. He sat down and asked, “What did you say?”
His face was expressionless and his voice was unpleasant. Rachel was stunned. Why was his son in such a bad mood? “What did they say when you went to the Black family for dinner today?”
“What do you want them to say?” Rodney asked.
“I thought you were going to talk about the engagement.”
“The engagement?” Mu Metaln sneered. “Didn’t you try your best to arrange the engagement?”
“You child, although it’s a mother’s plan, as the person involved, you should at least talk to Channing and the others. It’s better to ask Celia what she wants to do.”
“This engagement is what you need. You can do whatever you want!” Mu Jinyang’s tone was unfriendly.
“Child, why are you talking like this?”
“Did I say anything wrong?” Rodney sneered. “Mom, do you remember talking to me before?”
“What are you talking about?” Rachel was puzzled. She had spoken so much to Rodney, so how could she know what he was referring to?
“You said that as long as I promise you two things, you won’t care about me anymore. If you want me to divorce you, I promise you. If you want me to get engaged, I promise you. After the engagement, I hope you can keep your promise and never meddle in my affairs!”
Rachel was stunned. She seemed to have said this before, but there was no mother who didn’t care about it. Seeing that Rodney was in a bad mood, she had to follow his words and said, “As long as you are engaged to Celia, I will never care about you.”
The expression on Rodney’s face eased a little. “Thank you, Mom!”
“As for the engagement between you and Celia, Mr. Black and Mrs. Black and I are in charge of it. Mr. Black doesn’t have any requirements for the engagement. He thinks everything is simple. He must
show his attitude when he is in an important position, but we are businessmen and don’t have so many scruples. I think we should carefully plan it. It’s best to inform the media first!”
“I’m not an entertainment star. Why would I say hello to the media?” Rodney asked.
“Countless media will definitely pay attention to the engagement, so that they can write about it. Why don’t we spread the news by ourselves?”
Rodney was a little impatient. “But what’s there to announce about an engagement ceremony?”
“That’s true, but we can’t be too simple. After all, if we don’t look at the monk’s face, we should at least give Channing face.”
“Channing is just trying to save face? What face does he have now?” Rodney suddenly flew into a rage. This was the first time he was angry at Rachel. “He’s already full and has nothing to do? How can an insignificant engagement be like this?”
After saying that, he got up and went upstairs. “An insignificant engagement?” Why did Rachel feel that it sounded so unpleasant? It seemed to be the line he used to say to Amber, but now it was lost. The person who said that was not her instead of Rodney.
Looking at his son’s lonely back, Rachel felt very strange. “What happened to my son today? It seems that this is the first time he got angry at me after the divorce. What happened?”
Rodney closed the door and collapsed on the bed powerlessly. He really didn’t want to believe that Amber and Channing had that kind of relationship. There must be some misunderstanding between them.
Amber was by no means the kind of person she loved. How could she have anything to do with an old man who was old enough to be her father?
There must have been a misunderstanding that he didn’t know. Thinking that the Parableutions could easily win the company’s business, and that he mentioned the hesitation of Channing in the Parableutions during the sports meeting, Rodney felt his head hurt again.
He was sure that there must be a secret between Amber and Channing. He had to figure out what it was!
That night, Rodney tossed and turned on the bed. He didn’t fall asleep until the latter half of the night. He dreamed of Amber. She smiled like a flower and whispered to him affectionately, “Rodney, Rodney!”
Her voice was so charming that he didn’t want to pull it out. “Amber!” He reached out to grab her hand, but she gently moved away and walked in another direction.
A tall and handsome man stood there with a gentle smile on his face. He stood there in a daze, watching them hug and leave hand in hand. His heart ached as if it had been torn apart. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
The pain made him open his eyes. It was a damn dream again!
