Chapter 38
One night later, there was no news from Vanessa as if nothing had happened.
Melanie got up early as usual and had just finished her exercise. Roderick took the food box into the door.
Roderick frowned as he glanced at the cereal, fruit, and bread on the table.
“Mela–” Roderick said.
“Stop,” Melanie said.
As Melanie spoke, she took a bite of the bread.
Roderick brought out a bowl of delicious soup from the food box.
He said, “Try this. My mother made it in the morning.”
Melanie glanced at it and thought, ‘It’s not bad. I haven’t eaten seafood soup for a long time.‘
It was her favorite.
Seeing her smile, Roderick couldn’t help but be slightly absent–minded..
Every time he saw Melanie, she was different. Even her nifty expression made hist heart skip a beat.
“Mela, how about today?” Roderick asked.
“Where are we going?” Melanie was confused.
“I’ve told you six times to buy clothes,” he said.
She replied. “I’m not free. I have something to do today.”
Melanie drank the soup by herself and thought, ‘Don’t I have anything to wear? Why do I need him to buy clothes for me?‘
Ignoring the man’s gaze, Melanie calmly finished her soup.
Melanie said. “Because of the brooch Mr. Lambert gave me, you want to help me buy clothes to match it. I’ll come straight to the point that I will return the brooch, and the diamond bracelet Mrs. Lambert gave me.”
“Mela…”
Roderick called her again.
Melanie added, “I appreciate you taking good care of Elias, but he is also my son. I will take him out in a few days. Don’t stop me.”
She had planned to take Elias to see Edward and Ethan after a few days of work.
Maybe Elias didn’t want to come back when he saw his brothers.
“Mela, you’re so cruel.”
Roderick grabbed Melanie by the arm and pressed her against the doorframe.
“Tell me why?” He asked.
Melanie didn’t dare to look into his eyes.
She asked, “Why am I so cruel? I just take him out for two days. I’m his mother, don’t I have the right to have fun with him?”
“Go out for a couple of days?”
Roderick snorted coldly.
“Do you think I don’t know that Darrin, International Killer No. 0? He came to the manor twice and wanted to take away Elias. It is your idea, isn’t it?”
Hearing Roderick’s words, Melanie was shocked.
She thought, ‘Darrin went to the manor twice and exposed his identity.
‘Why didn’t I know when it happened?‘
She wanted to take away Elias, but she didn’t ask Darrin to do it.
Melanie said, “What killer? I don’t know. Darrin is just my friend.”
Roderick sneered, “Humph, friend? If he shows up again, I can’t guarantee that he will live.” © NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
“You?”
Melanie’s eyes widened. She wondered, ‘Who the hell is Roderick? Why can he know Darrin?‘
Roderick said, “Mela, it was my fault seven years ago. But if it happens again. I will do that as I did before. You are mine. Don’t try to run away!”
Hearing his domineering announcement, Melanie couldn’t help shivering.
The next second, she was held in his arms.
Roderick comforted. “Mela, don’t be afraid.”
Melanie was so embraced that she couldn’t breathe and struggled to push Roderick.
“Let go of me! Let go!”
But she didn’t know that her fierce resistance made the restless man even more
angry.
Roderick hugged her tighter and kissed her on the lip.
He kissed Melanie so hard that she raised her leg and kicked him.
“Bastard!” Melanie shouted.
A trace of pain appeared in Roderick’s eyes.
“You refused me?” He asked in pain..
Melanie deliberately ignored his eyes.
“What, you can’t accept a refusal?” She asked.
“Who is the man in your heart?” Roderick asked rhetorically.
Hearing this, Melanie was stunned.
“What man?” She asked in confusion.
For Roderick, that look on her face was like how did you know there was a man in my heart?
He felt so sad.
Seven years ago, he went out to kill those people. He took revenge for Melanie and found her disappeared when he came back.
After seven years of searching, when Roderick thought he would never see her again, she suddenly appeared with their sons.
He knew she hated him, but he just wanted to be nice to her and get her back.
06 28 Wed,
But he never thought that she already had a man in her heart, which was why she hated him so much and refused to forgive him.
He mustn’t allow it!
Roderick’s eyes were full of anger, rage, paranoia, and unwillingness.
He stared at Melanie’s face and her beautiful eyes.
He thought, ‘Imprison her?
‘Lock her in the Lambert manor so that she could not escape!
‘No matter what, I have to keep her by my side!”
At this moment, Melanie was firmly held by him and her mind was full of thoughts.
She thought, “This man is also very poor. He is powerful but has diseases. How about letting Elias stay here?”
Suddenly, Angie rubbed her eyes and went downstairs.
“Melanie, cousin–in–law, good morning!
“What are you two doing in the morning?”
Hearing this ‘cousin–in–law, Roderick’s anger immediately disappeared.
He suddenly smiled, pulled Melanie into his arms again, and whispered in her ear.
“Wait, I’ll find the man in your heart and cut him into pieces.”
Ignoring Melanie’s surprised eyes, he kissed her gently on the forehead and left.
Angie smiled and looked at Melanie comfortingly.
“Melanie, it’s nice. It’s very sweet!”
Melanie was still stunned.
Angie couldn’t help but say. “Melanie, it’s just a good morning kiss. But if you want to go deeper next time. I suggest going back to your room. After all, I am single without a date!”
Melanie looked at Angie helplessly and went to work.
06:28 Wed, 13 Mar NNA
Angie said, “Melanie, wait for me. I haven’t told you about the Robertson family yet. What’s the hurry? Wait a minute.”
