Chapter 89
Seeing Amber striding away without looking back, Rodney’s eyes darkened. Celia said with tears in her eyes, “Rodney, go after my sister and explain it to her. I’m fine.”
“Why should we explain it to her? We didn’t do anything wrong!” Rodney helped Celia up. “I’ll take you to the hospital to bandage your wound.”
Celia was being bandaged by the doctor in the operating room, and Rodney was distracted standing outside alone. How could she be so cruel to that woman? How could she be so heartless?
A surprised voice rang out. “Rodney? Why are you here?”
Rodney turned around and saw Itzel walking over. “Auntie Itzel!” Rodney nodded politely at Itzel.
“Rodney, I have something to ask you.” Itzel pulled him aside. “I heard from your mother that you broke up with Celia. Is that true?”
Rodney nodded. “It’s true.”
“That’s good! That’s good! I don’t have to worry anymore.” Itzel looked relieved.
“What’s wrong, Auntie Itzel?” Itzel had always been on good terms with Celia. How could she say something like that?
“I’m telling you, Rodney. You can’t say that to anyone else. Celia had a miscarriage three years ago.”
Itzel lowered her voice and said, “Later, she was not in good health and had a very serious cervical illness. Some time ago, she came to see me. I checked and found that her body was no longer suitable for pregnancy.”
“What did you say?” Rodney was stunned.
“Three years ago, an accidental miscarriage caused serious harm to her body. I’m afraid Celia can’t have a child in this life!” Itzel sighed. “A good child, so beautiful, so pure and kind. Why does God treat her like this?”
Rodney was stunned by this news. How could this be? “Auntie Itzel, are you sure?”
“Rodney, Auntie is an expert. Can I lie to you?” Itzel sighed.
“The last time I found out that Celia was in poor health, my heart had been heavy. You know, your mother wanted a grandson so much. If she knew that Celia couldn’t give birth, she would definitely not accept it. But I have known her for many years and I didn’t want to deceive her. I was in a dilemma. I just went to see her and she told me that Celia broke up with you. She said that Celia took the initiative to break up with you. I was finally relieved, but I felt a little pity for Celia. She is such a good child. What should I do in my next life?”
Rodney turned around in a daze. Celia didn’t know how to give birth! Celia couldn’t give birth because of an accidental miscarriage three years ago!
He couldn’t imagine that Celia was innocent. Itzel was right. She was so kind that she shouldn’t have suffered such pain. It was all because of him. Everything was because of his mother. He had to make up for Celia.
Her mother and Amber were like fire and water. Now her mother was lying in the hospital bed, saying that she wanted Amber to go to jail, but Amber didn’t understand his painstaking efforts at all.
Because of his appearance, Amber’s heartless words flashed through Celia’s mind. “A good horse doesn’t eat grass at the end of the road. Rodney has been eaten by someone. I, Amber, will never use a man who has been used by others no matter how cheap I am!”
“No matter how cheap you are, you won’t use a man who has been used by others! Ha! Amber, how can you be so cruel? How can you convict me without an explanation? You don’t want me! Since you don’t want me, I’ll marry anyone. I’ll marry Celia!”
After hanging up the water for two days, Mel’s fever finally subsided. Amber and Ashton took Mel out of the hospital. Because they didn’t find a house, they stayed at Noemi’s house for the time being.
Amber began to look for a house. She went to several real estate agency companies, but in the end, they were not settled because the house price was too high.
Later, Noemi called her and said that she saw a piece of rent information on the Internet. The rent was very cheap. She contacted the landlord and asked Amber to go to see the house immediately.
The house was a three-room house, which was beautifully decorated. The landlord said that he wanted to rent the house abroad, not to earn rent, but to get someone to look after the house. The rent was not a problem. First of all, people should get along well with each other.
After meeting with Amber, the landlord expressed his willingness to rent the house to Amber. However, it was not forbidden for him to raise pets. He wanted to take care of the house as if it were his own house.
Amber promised. When he learned from his conversation with the landlord that she was a single mother, the landlord was very sympathetic and lowered the rent by a part. He also said that if it was really difficult for Amber to pay a month’s rent first, he would pay the rest when he had money at the end of the year.
Amber was very grateful to meet such a good person. She simply thanked him. Later, she signed the contract with the landlord and paid the rent for three months.
Amber breathed a sigh of relief when the house affairs were settled. Elliot asked Walter to tell her not to rush to work first, but to come back to work after everything was settled.
If it weren’t for Rachel, Celia, and other disgusting people, Amber would have thought that his life was actually quite good.
When she went back, she was in a particularly good mood. She told Ashton about the house she found. Ashton was very happy. “I really met a good person.”
Mel was also very excited when she heard that he had a separate room. “Mom, I really want to go to see my new home.”
“Okay, I’ll take you to see the house tomorrow.” Amber touched his little head and smiled.
It was a burst of laughter. Amber’s phone rang. She picked it up and saw that it was Channing. “What’s the matter?”
“Amber, come out. I have something to tell you.” Ashton did not have a good impression of Channing, but Channing knew that he would not show up in front of Ashton.
Because of Celia’s words, Amber was full of resentment for Channing. Now that he came to her, she happened to ask him, so she went to see Channing.
Channing had just seen Amber smile kindly. “Amber, I’ve already packed up the house. It’s arranged according to your preferences. Move it over!”
“My preferences? I didn’t expect that Mr. Black still remembers what I like. It’s really surprising!” Amber said sarcastically.
“Ashton, if you’re willing, you can move in with you,” Channing said with a smile.
“Don’t you think it’s a lie?” Amber sneered. “My uncle won’t live in your house even if he’s a beggar!”
“He has a prejudice against me.” Channing had just forced a smile.
“If someone kills your sister, will you have no prejudice against him?” Amber asked.
“Amber, don’t listen to Ashton’s family. He’s not a good person…”
“Are you a good person?” Amber interrupted him. “Mr. Black, I want to know if you supported the matter between Rodney and Celia that year?” Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.
“I’m sorry, Amber!” Channing lowered his head guiltily. This matter weighed heavily on his heart. Now he thought about why he had accepted Shannon’s suggestion to let Celia get pregnant and maintain Amber’s marriage.
At that time, Shannon cried with tears and snot, saying that she wanted to atone for her sins. He heard that Rachel had no bottom line to torture his daughter, so he agreed casually. Later, he wanted to go back on his word, but Shannon said that Celia had already had an operation.
Channing had just realized that he had done this for the sake of Amber. However, this matter had caused great harm to Amber. The most terrible thing was that he had attached another beautiful daughter to him.
In the past few years, whenever he thought of this, he would feel that he was a bastard. He was not a human being. He was sorry for his two daughters. Amber had gone far away for this and had no news of him. He regretted it very much, but he had already made a big mistake, and it was useless to regret it.
Celia said that it was Channing’s idea at that time, but Amber didn’t completely believe it. But now, seeing Channing like this, she felt incomparable pain in her heart.
How could a noble and intelligent person like her mother choose such a disgusting man? How could she have such a shameless and immoral father?
“Amber, I was wrong at that time. I should discuss it with you before making a decision. Shannon and Celia also want to compensate you. Don’t hate them. We never thought about hurting you. Our original intention has always been for your own good.”
“For me?” Amber really wanted to laugh out loud. Channing didn’t forget to put in a good word for the b*tch and her daughter at this time. Did he think she was an idiot?
Even a fool could tell Celia’s feelings for Rodney. Putting aside the fact that she had tried to butter up to Rachel before marriage, she had hoped that Rachel would be of help to her. Later on, after she and Rodney got married, she had not given up and would come to the Barron family every now and then to disgust her.
As long as she had any thoughts for her, she would not get along well with Rachel.
“Mr. Black, are you blind, deaf, and confused?” Amber stared at Channing fiercely.
“If that pair of bitches really did it for my good, they should have rolled far away after the matter was revealed. At least far away from Mr. Barron. But what happened in the end?”
“Amber, Celia and Rodney were together not on purpose. After you and Rodney divorced, Rachel came to propose marriage. I strongly disagreed at that time. Later, Rachel gave up this idea and looked for someone for Rodney again. Later…”
“What happened after that?” Amber sneered.
“Later, the media took photos of Celia and Rodney together, and some people spread the rumor that Rodney had accompanied Celia to the hospital for a check-up. For the sake of Celia’s reputation, I had
to admit it.”
Channing just said a part of it. In fact, he wanted to be responsible for it at the beginning. Such news happened to appear. In order not to affect his own rights, he had to acquiesce in everything about Celia and Rodney. Of course, in order to keep his position as an official, he did not dare to say it out loud.
Amber couldn’t help laughing when he heard that. This must have been a plan designed by the bitch and her daughter to achieve their purpose. What a poor acting skill. However, it made Channing, who was in a high position, believe it. It seemed that the bitch and her daughter were really extraordinary in his heart.
“Amber, I’m sorry for what happened between Celia and Rodney. I’ll make it up to you!” Amber and Rodney disappeared after the divorce. Channing was upset. His only thought was to make up for his daughter and let her live a better life in the future.
“Make it up? How will you make it up?” Amber looked at Channing with disdain.
“I’ll leave all the property in your family to you. Celia has promised that she won’t take a penny after we get married,” Channing said sincerely.
Amber sneered when he heard that. “Mr. Black, how much money can you have compared to a cash cow like Rodney?”
Her words naturally meant that Channing was very clear. He smiled bitterly and said, “Amber, although my father’s assets are not less than Rodney’s, they are not small. There are some antiques and ancient paintings at home. These things are priceless!”
“Shannon and Celia must not know about these properties, right?” Amber sneered. “Mr. Black, if your mistress and illegitimate daughter know that you have so many valuable things in your hands, there will definitely be a good show. Why don’t I tell them?”
“Amber!” Channing’s expression changed. It was true that Shannon didn’t know about his collection. He didn’t want her to know that he had prepared these things for Amber from the beginning.
“I was joking with you. Don’t take it seriously!” Amber smiled sarcastically. “I really have no interest in your property. You’d better keep it and spend it slowly. You can bring it into the coffin if you can’t use it!”
“In addition, please don’t appear in my life. I will feel ashamed to see you.” After saying this, Amber turned and left.
Channing looked at her back with a pale face. Amber’s character was exactly the same as her mother’s. They were exactly the same!
