The old lady and Pierce were talking about Amber in the study. âAmber has been gone for a long time. Do you have any news?â
Pierce smiled. âGrandma, why do you suddenly care about Amber? Iâm not used to it.â
âGrandma is telling the truth. She treated her like that before, but she didnât care about the past and took the initiative to save her. Itâs hard to find such a person in this era. It was Grandmaâs fault at the beginning.â Madam Dowager sighed with emotion. âIf it werenât for Grandma, you wouldnât be like this. Amber wouldnât have worked so hard!â
âGrandma, donât blame yourself. Amber and I have never blamed you. We all understand your stance and persistence.â Pierce comforted her.
âYou havenât been very busy recently, havenât you? Take the time to visit Amber!â The old lady added, âMel, donât worry. Leave it to me. I promise I will keep an eye on him.â
âLetâs talk about it later.â
âWhy do I find that you are not too enthusiastic? In the past, I tried every means to stop you from seeing her. Now I give you a chance, but you are not too active. What happened?â
âAmber is busy now. I donât want her to be distracted.â
Speaking of this, the old lady became more and more strange. Melâs illness was the biggest thing for a mother. Why did Amber abandon his sick son and return to the country? âIs there anything more important than his sonâs illness?â
âShe went back for her son,â Pierce replied.
âIs it because of money?â The old lady asked tentatively, âCan we pay the treatment fee for Mel for her?â
âItâs not all about money. Money is just one aspect. Amber is independent, so he wonât easily accept the help of others unless he has no other choice,â Pierce replied.
âI appreciate this point of her, but I canât be too stubborn. After all, everything is flexible.â
âItâs not her fault. When she married Rodney, she suffered a great blow from her purity. For her, only what she earned is her own.
Others will never have anything to do with her.â
âThe surname of Rodney is so cruel!â The old lady sighed. âYou said that money is just one aspect, but what is the other aspect?â
âI canât say that.â
âKid, canât Grandma tell you?â The old lady was unhappy. âAre you afraid that Grandma will harm Amber?â
âI know grandma wonât hurt her, but this matter involves privacy. Amber doesnât want too many people to know.â Pierce didnât want to say it. âAnyway, Amber went back for Melâs illness, and you will know it in the future.â
âPrivateity? Does it have anything to do with Melâs illness?â The old lady became more curious when she heard that. During this period, she had seen Mel many times in the hospital. She had heard from the attending doctor that the treatment of Melâs disease would be more effective. The old lady was smart, so she immediately thought of it, but she was not sure. âDoes this mean that Amber went back to find Melâs biological father? Does this mean that Melâs biological father is Rodney?â
Pierce nodded.
It was impossible for Amber to get married immediately after experiencing such a thing. She had not been pregnant for so many years. Even if she got married, it was impossible for her to get pregnant immediately. The old ladyâs face changed. Because of surprise, she suddenly raised her voice. âIs Melâs biological father Rodney?â
Breanna walked over with her small mouth. Just as she was about to knock on the door, she suddenly heard the surprised voice of the Old Madam from inside. Her outstretched hand suddenly stopped.
âGrandma, keep your voice down!â Pierce shook his head. The old lady was indeed the old lady. She immediately thought of it.
âDonât tell anyone about this.â
âI wonât tell anyone. Itâs just that since the child belongs to Rodney, why didnât Amber tell him the truth? As the saying goes, tigers donât eat their children. No matter how bad he is, he wonât be so cold-blooded as to not save his son, right?â
âAmber once called Rodney to cancel the engagement with Celia before Rodney got engaged, but he refused mercilessly.â
Pierce sighed. âItâs really sad for Amber to meet such a cold-blooded man.â
The old lady was furious. âItâs rare for this Mu to be so vicious. Back then, Amber was blind.â She blamed herself when she thought of how Amber married most of the time because of her. âItâs all grandmaâs fault. If it werenât for grandma, she wouldnât be like this. Iâm a sinner! Good grandson, in the future, grandma wonât stop you from being with Amber!â
âGrandma, itâs all in the past. We have to look forward. Itâs not too late now!â Pierce comforted her. âAmber and I will definitely be together if we have a fate.â
âThatâs true. No matter how good the fate is, it canât bear it!â The old lady sighed with emotion and told Pierce, âWhen Amber gets what he wants, as long as she wants, you can hold a wedding with her immediately!â
Breanna didnât expect to hear such explosive news. She was shocked and didnât dare to stay any longer. She quickly turned around and left.
Channing had just finished his work and was in a good mood. When he returned home in the evening, he had a rare smile on his face. Seeing that he was so happy, Shannon asked tentatively, âIs there anything happy today?â
Channing nodded. âAmber and Rodney are about to get married again.â
Shannon also smiled and said, âItâs a good thing. Have you decided on the date?â
âJust in a few days.â Channing was not sure.
âAmber has wronged her when she married Rodney last time. This time, we must prepare a big gift for Amber.â Shannon looked as happy as her daughter.
Channing was very surprised by her reaction. According to common sense, Shannon should not be too happy. After all, Rodney almost became her son-in-law. He looked at Shannon and asked, âArenât you unhappy at all?â
âNo, how can I not be happy? Amber and Rodney are a couple. It was because I will atone for my sins in the future that Celia broke them up for her. Now that they can be together, I am very happy.â
âBut Celia may not think so. After all, she has given her heart to Rodney.â Channing sighed. âYou should spend more time with Celia in the near future and comfort her. If it doesnât work, you can accompany her on a vacation to relax.â
Channing rarely cared about Celia like that, but Shannon felt a little strange when she agreed. âDid the sun rise from the west today? Something must have happened when Channing suddenly changed.â
Shannon quickly told Itzel that Amber and Rodney were about to get married again. Itzel went to find Rachel and told her that Rodney was about to get married again with Amber.
Rachel seemed to be very anxious. After she failed to plot against her son last time, Rodney had a lot of opinions on her. Not only did he disappear, but he didnât even call her. She took the initiative to call him but didnât pick up. Rachel was anxious and angry. If Amber, the star of death, really got married to her son, she wouldnât be able to live the rest of her life.
She couldnât let her son and Amber get married again. She had to think of a way as soon as possible. Itzel told her not to worry.
She said that she would go talk to Kelsey. Rodney was worried that they wouldnât guard against Kelsey, so he spent a little money to get Kelsey to help him. Rachel thought about it for a while but couldnât think of any other way, so she agreed.
The next day, Amber told Ashton about Rodneyâs proposal. Ashton was silent for a while. âAmber, I donât support your reunion with Rodney!â
Her uncle had never cared about her personal affairs. In the past, no matter what she did, he always supported her. This sudden opposition surprised Amber. âWhy?â
âIs it because youâre in love or because of your child that youâre reunited with him?â
âBecause of the child,â Amber replied. âItâll be much better for the child to be with his own father.â
âI donât think itâs necessary if itâs just for the sake of the child and Rodneyâs reunion. Pierce and Elliot will also be good to the child. Theyâre no worse than Rodney. Thereâs no need for you to suffer.â Ashton tried to persuade him.
âUncle, I know that Pierce and Elliot are very kind to me, but Elliot is engaged now. Pierce is too kind. I donât want to drag him down.â
âAmber, this is not a burden. For those who love you, being able to take care of you is their happiest thing. Uncle hopes that you can carefully consider and deal with Rodneyâs matters. He doesnât only have a history, but he has an unreasonable mother. With her around, there will always be trouble between you and him. Uncle doesnât want you to do as you did in the past, so Uncle doesnât support your reunion with Rodney.â
Ashtonâs worries were the same as Amberâs worries. She left Ashtonâs residence in a heavy mood. On the way back, she received a call from Rodney, saying that he would go home late tonight and let her eat alone. She didnât want to wait for him.
Amber didnât want to come back and deal with dinner outside. She remembered that she hadnât had spicy hotpot for a long time.
She was going to have spicy hotpot for dinner, but she didnât expect that Elliot would call her and say that he would treat her to dinner tonight.
I havenât seen Elliot for a long time, so Amber didnât refuse.
Elliotâs treat was naturally not a small place. He brought Amber to the Huston Palace. The Huston Palace was a famous sightseeing restaurant in the South City. It had 360 degrees of Panoramic View, which rotated at a slow speed, especially in the evening.
Not only could he taste delicious food, but he could also enjoy the beautiful night scene of South City.
Amber had long heard of the name of the Huston Palace. Not only was the environment here good, but the taste of the dishes was also unique. Of course, the cost was also scary. If Elliot hadnât brought her here, Amber wouldnât have had the confidence to come here.
Sitting in the revolving restaurant, eating delicious food, and looking at the brightly lit bustling city outside, it was indeed a kind of enjoyment. However, Amber thought that Elliot didnât just invite him to dinner. He hadnât appeared for such a long time, so there must be something he wanted to say to himself.
Today, Ashton called him and told him that Amber was going to reconcile with Rodney. He asked him to find a way to stop it, so Elliot asked Amber to meet him.
Elliot was really upset when he heard that Amber was going to reunite with Rodney. After thinking for a while, he finally said, âIs it true that I heard your uncle say that you are going to reconcile with Rodney today?â
Amber was a little embarrassed. âWhatâs wrong with my uncle? Why does he like gossiping like those old women? She just went back to discuss it with him, but he immediately told Elliot. She hid it and took a sip of water. âIâm still considering.â
âIf itâs just for the sake of the child, I donât think thereâs a need for you to reunite with him. Letâs not talk about whether Rodney truly loves you or not. His mother is a problem. We havenât even been together yet, yet sheâs already in such a deadlock. Itâs easy to imagine what kind of life weâll have in the future.â
Elliotâs words were the same as Ashtonâs. âYou came here from Rachelâs power. I think you should be very clear about what you and Rodney will face. For the sake of your and your childâs happiness, I think you should consider it carefully.â
âIâll consider what you say.â
âAmber, there are many good men in the world. For example, Pierce and I are the best men among men. Even if you choose with your eyes closed, you shouldnât choose Rodney.â
His self-introduction made Amber laugh. âCome on. If you have a boss, go to the side!â
His words made Elliotâs eyes dim. He and Amber could have been together, but he missed it by chance.
Now he was engaged to Breanna. Although he did not love Breanna, he was a man of his word. The three-year promise was made by him and Breanna. If Breanna could stick to it, he could not go back on his word.
âIâm just making an analogy. You donât want me, but Pierce is better than Mr. Barron, isnât he? Mel likes Pierce so much. For the sake of the child, you should also choose Pierce!â
As she spoke, she heard a familiar voice. âOur seat is over there!â
Amber looked up and saw a pair of familiar figures appear in front of her. Rodney had something to do tonight, which was to accompany Kelsey to have dinner here. Amber sneered.
If Elliot hadnât invited her here for dinner, she wouldnât have been able to witness such a good show with her own eyes. When she thought of how gentle and considerate Rodney had been to her during this period of time, as well as how he had proposed to her last night, the smile on Amberâs lips deepened.
âThatâs great! Fortunately, I didnât believe him!â
