Amber looked back and saw Reece staring at him with his eyes wide open.
After staring at each other for a while, Reece came to his senses. âYou... you are the daughter of Ashley?â
Amber nodded. The way he looked at Reece was very unfriendly. âWho are you, sir? What are you doing here?â
âIâm a friend of Ashley...â
âFriend? Sir, is there anything wrong with your brain? My mother has a family. How could a man like you and a married woman be friends?â
Amber was not polite at all. No matter what kind of relationship they had at that time, as long as they formed their own families, they should be responsible for it. In her impression, her mother and Channing were in a good relationship without any flaws.
And this Reece had abandoned his wife and son in the name of love. Not only did he destroy a womanâs happiness, but his familyâs happiness also ruined a womanâs reputation. It could be said that Amber had no good feelings for him.
âI... Iâm your motherâs classmate.â Reece was a little embarrassed. He didnât know where to put the roses in his hand.
âSir, are you out of your mind? Youâre a friend for a while and a classmate for a while? Why donât you come here with so many of my momâs schoolmates? What are you up to?â
Amber looked at Reece coldly. A man who had a family and a lover came here with roses. Didnât he know what kind of impact his behavior would have?
âMy mother has been innocent all her life. I donât want to see anything that will damage my motherâs reputation. Please behave yourself and donât disturb her anymore!â
Reece stood where he was in a daze. He didnât know whether to advance or retreat. Not only did Ashley look like her, but she also had the same temper.
When she went back, the sky was a little gloomy, and it seemed that it was going to rain. Amber knew how terrible the weather in South City was. She wanted to take a taxi, but there was no sign of a taxi in the wilderness. She had no choice but to choose another bus. Fortunately, she was lucky enough to get on the bus before the heavy rain came.
The bus didnât go straight to the bus, but it was still raining when the bus arrived. Amber stood alone at the bus stop and waited for the car. The rain from the wind wet her clothes and pants and stuck to her body, which was cold.
A car drove past the bus stop, and the splashing rain poured down on her. Amber continued to stand with no expression on his face. Anyway, he was in a mess now. It didnât matter if he added more or less.
Finally, she saw a taxi. Amber stopped the taxi and went home. When the car arrived at the villa of the Black family, Amber saw from a distance that a car was parked outside the villa. Although it was raining, the license plate stimulated her eyes. âRodney is here?â
Just two days after she came back, Rodney came to the Black family twice to see that Celiaâs position in his heart was really not ordinary.
Amber saw Rodney open the car door and open the umbrella to cover Celiaâs body, while Celia nestled in Rodneyâs arms.
However, Amber felt a sharp pain in his heart when he saw Rodneyâs cautious look from the corner of his eyes. She had always been the one he cared about, and he had once said that he would fall in love with her.
The taxi stopped. Amber paid the driver to open the door and got out of the car. When she passed by Rodney and Celia, she heard Celiaâs exclamation. âSister?â
Amber did not stop and strode into the villa. Seeing her rush in wet, Channing and Shannon in the living room were shocked.
Channing just stood up. âAmber, whatâs wrong with you?â
âItâs raining!â Amber spat out these three words coldly and rushed to the stairs on the second floor. When she closed the door, she heard Shannonâs voice. âAh! Celia, whatâs wrong with you?â
Amber took off his wet clothes and soaked himself in hot water. The comfortable feeling spread from her skin to her nerves, and she couldnât help sneezing.
She didnât know how long she had been in the bathtub. After knocking on the door, she walked out of the bathtub and put on her clothes. She opened the door, and Aunt Maleah stood at the door with a bowl of brown sugar and ginger tea.
The scene in front of her made Amberâs eyes a little wet. In this family, only Aunt Maleah was really concerned about her. She leaned over and let Aunt Maleah come in. When she closed the door, she saw Rodney coming from the other end of the corridor.
At the other end of the corridor, Amber remembered that it was Celiaâs room. Rodney really cared about his lover. Amber closed the door with no expression on his face.
She turned around and saw that Aunt Maleah was still standing with brown sugar and ginger tea in her hands. She took the brown sugar and ginger tea from Aunt Maleahâs hands and said, âAunt Maleah, sit down!â
Aunt Maleah didnât sit down. âAmber, are you hungry? What do you want to eat for you?â
Amber thought for a moment and said, âThe noodles, Aunt Maleah, I want to eat the noodles you cooked.â
Aunt Maleah nodded. âIâll get it for you right away.â As she spoke, she walked to the door. When she reached the door, she turned back and said, âAmber, the Second Miss is injured. Do you want to see her?â
Amber was stunned and immediately reacted. âStay back and Iâll go and have a look.â
After hearing what she said, Aunt Maleah opened the door and went out.
In fact, Amber didnât want to see Celia at all, but she understood Aunt Maleahâs painstaking efforts. She couldnât live in this house too well. She dried her hair, changed her clothes, and went to Celiaâs room. Celiaâs door was open, and there were three people she had already guessed. When she saw Amber, it was obvious that several people were surprised.
Amber ignored her and walked in. âI heard from Aunt Maleah that Ms. Black was injured, so I came to see her.â
âThank you for your concern, sister. I just fell down and scratched my skin. Iâm fine now,â Celia replied.
Shannon said, âBe careful next time. Fortunately, you have Rodney. Otherwise, you would have suffered a lot.â
These words made Celia look at Rodney affectionately. There was a gentle smile on Rodneyâs face, and Amberâs heart cracked again when he looked at their lovey-dovey look.
She controlled herself. âI have medicine from abroad, which is very effective for Ms. Blackâs injury. Shall I go and get it for you?â
âThereâs no need. Celia hurriedly refused. Rodney has already applied medicine to me. Itâs no big deal.â
Amber didnât have any medicine for treatment at all, but he was sure that Celia didnât dare to use her medicine, so he said so. He had already performed, and it was time for her to go back to eat noodles. So he said a few more words of concern and sensibly said goodbye.
She didnât go back to the room, but went downstairs to the kitchen. Aunt Maleah was downstairs for her. When she saw her coming down, she complained, âAmber, why did you come down? Iâll make noodles for you.â
Amber just smiled and said nothing. Aunt Maleah quickly cooked noodles and helped her bring them to the restaurant. Amber had just eaten two mouthfuls when he heard footsteps entering the restaurant.
Rodneyâs cold voice rang out. âYou donât have any medicine at all, do you?â
Amber didnât answer. He was very focused on eating noodles. Rodney walked up to her in a few steps. âAmber, I really underestimated you. I didnât expect you to learn how to act. It seems that youâve been learning how to act all these years?â
âMr. Barron! No, brother-in-law, what exactly do you want to say?â Amber looked up at Rodney.
âIâll wait for you tonight, Scent Villa A8!â After that, she put a string of delicate keys in front of Amber. Rodney turned around and left. Amber looked at the key with a mocking smile on his face. She slowly finished the noodles in the bowl, grabbed the key, and went upstairs.
At ten oâclock in the evening, he waited for Amber for nearly three hours. When he was extremely impatient, he finally heard the sound of the door opening. He suppressed the expectation in his heart and did not look at the person who came in. Instead, he focused on the TV.
The person came over after changing into slippers. As she walked in, the pungent smell of perfume approached her. Rodney continued to stare at the TV as if nothing had happened. When he threw the key to Amber, he knew that she would be resentful and passive.
It seemed that she must have deliberately put on heavy makeup and wanted to disgust him. Such a passive resistance was a piece of cake for Rodney. He wanted to see what this woman would do tonight.
The newcomer got closer and closer, and the pungent smell became stronger and stronger. âAchoo!â Rodney sneezed several times because of the stimulation. A soft body approached her, and one hand handed over a piece of tissue. Rodney took the tissue and suddenly found that something was wrong. Amberâs hands were slender and white. âWhat are these hands?â
He turned to look at the people around him and jumped up as if they had been pricked by needles. âWho are you?â
The woman sitting next to him was not Amber, but a woman with heavy makeup. The woman winked at Rodney and said, âIâm here to spend a good night with you!â
âHave a good nightâs rest?â Rodney looked at the beautiful woman in front of him and soon realized that it was Amberâs work.
âGet lost!â He pointed at the door.
Looking at Rodneyâs angry eyes, the woman reluctantly stood up. Tonight, she met a very beautiful woman at the bar on the stage. When the woman asked her if she was willing to make it public, she naturally answered yes.
After the woman talked about the price with her, she gave her a bunch of keys and paid her 2,000 dollars in advance. She said that she would go to the Scent Villa to serve a young and handsome president to have a good nightâs time. If she did well, there would be a tip.
The rich people lived in the Scent Villa. The young lady was very happy, so she took a taxi here with the key. She only believed that rich people didnât believe that they were young and handsome. But when she opened the door and saw the handsome guy watching TV on the sofa, she was so happy.
After sitting on the stage for such a long time, she had never seen such a handsome person. Even if such a person did not ask for money, she would be happy. However, she did not expect that the handsome guy would suddenly lose his temper and ask her to get lost!
The young lady really didnât want to leave, but the handsome guyâs eyes were a little scary. She felt cold all over, so she left.
When she walked to the door, she still asked, âSir, are you sure you donât want me to accompany you?â
âGet lost!â The answer was still one word!
The young lady left unwillingly. Before she left, she placed the key at the door. Rodney felt extremely disgusted. When he thought that the first woman who entered the room that he had carefully arranged was a young lady, he was so angry that he couldnât stand it.
He jumped up and called Deon, asking him to immediately find someone to get rid of the brand-new sofa in the living room, and then change into another set of exactly the same one. He also asked Deon to find someone from a legal company to clean up the house, especially the living room.
After ordering Rodney to drive away from the Scent Villa, Amber made fun of him like this. An evil fire of anger welled up from the bottom of his heart.
He put his phone number on the blacklist and did not answer the strange call. He was sure that he would not go to the Black family to look for her directly. Amber must have thought that he had eaten him. But she had a good plan and he had crossed the fence. He had to get this woman out of the Black family tonight.
