Elliot and Amber turned their heads and saw that Rodney was dressed in a navy blue suit and did not wear a tie. He was standing at the entrance of the western restaurant with his hands clasped in his arms. It could be said that he bore a grudge against Elliot.
First of all, it was about the cityâs development. When he thought of how Elliot had used Amber as bait to seduce Channing, he gritted his teeth in hatred. He had always asked Deon to keep an eye on the Mr. Thomson family. He had heard that Elliot had booked a western restaurant, prepared a flower balloon, and even brought Amber to a western restaurant. Rodney had guessed what the playboy was up to.
Amber was his, so how could he let others covet him? Rodney didnât even want to drive over.
Elliot was a little angry. He had obviously booked an entire western restaurant and not opened it for the public. How could Rodney suddenly appear?
âIâm so sorry, Mr. Thomson!â Rodney ignored Elliotâs expression and strode over. He sat down beside Amber and said, âI have a special affection for this western restaurant, so I came here for dinner. I didnât expect that it wouldnât open to the public. When I heard that it was reserved by Mr. Thomson, I came in cheekily. We are all acquaintances, donât you mind treating me to dinner?â
âFuck you!â Elliot couldnât wait to smash Rodneyâs head. âIs Mr. Barron blind? Canât he see what he is doing here?â
Rodney looked around with a smile. âThe roses, the balloons, and the candlelight dinner! Tsk, tsk! The decoration is so beautiful!
It seems to be a scene of seeking love. Mr. Thomson, donât you eat the grass on the edge of a rabbitâs nest? Have you taken a fancy to someone and asked Miss. Stone to practice?â
âMr. Barron, be careful with what you say!â Elliot could see that Mr. Barron was here tonight to stir up trouble.
âDonât be embarrassed. Weâre on the same side!â Rodney was still smiling. âMiss. Stone and Mr. Thomson donât seem to have much time left, right?â
âHow did Mr. Barron know that?â Amber put on a fake smile. âWhat is Rodney doing here?â
âMr. Thomson is a romantic person. He likes to pursue girls in a romantic way. I remember that Mr. Thomson did something earth-shattering a few years ago. Miss. Stone, do you know that?â
âRodney!â Elliotâs expression changed as he called out his name. His tone was full of warning.
â Mr. Thomson, why are you so nervous?â Rodney asked with a faint smile. His eyes were filled with coldness.
Amber was interested in the earth-shattering event that Rodney had mentioned. âWhat earth-shattering event did Mr. Thomson do?â
âMiss. Stone, you really want to hear it?â Rodney smiled. âLetâs talk while eating!â
He clapped his hands as if they were close friends. The waiter brought in the cooked food one by one. Ignoring Elliotâs gloomy face, Rodney grabbed Elliotâs set of tableware and started to eat without any image. âItâs delicious. Iâm starving to death! Why donât you eat it, Mr. Thomson?â
Elliot couldnât stand it anymore. He grabbed Rodneyâs collar and punched him in the face. Rodney had long been on guard against his attack. He stretched out his hand to block Elliotâs attack and didnât forget to frame him. âWhat are you doing, Mr.
Thomson? Everyone on Earth knows that you showed your love for the big star Keke in the water villa on the south of the Yangtze River. I just mentioned it casually. Why are you angry?â
âBastard!â Elliot threw another punch. Rodney leaned to one side and dodged it. âBack then, Mr. Thomson was deeply in love with Coco. His display of love could be said to have caused a sensation. Everyone thought that it was a good relationship, but they never thought that Mr. Thomson would dump Coco for a model. Coco was also pitiful and dared to commit suicide for love.
This matter was quite big back then!â
âRodney, if I donât beat you to death today!â Elliot knew that everything tonight was doomed to fail, so he rushed over like crazy.
The two of them twisted and fought. Amber was so anxious that he jumped on the side.
The fierce fight didnât stop until both of them were exhausted. Elliotâs face was bruised, while Rodneyâs mouth was bleeding.
Amber stepped forward to help Elliot up. âMr. Thomson, are you okay?â
âIt doesnât matter!â Elliot stared fiercely at Rodney. âMr. Barron, just you wait. I wonât spare you!â
Amber helped him up and said, âLetâs go to the hospital to bandage it.â Seeing that Amber didnât even look at him, Rodney warned her in a sinister tone, âMiss. Stone, you can learn from Miss Keke. Be careful not to repeat your mistakes!â
Amber ignored him, helped Elliot out of the western restaurant, and drove to the hospital. In the car, Elliotâs face was gloomy.
Amber didnât even look at his focused driving. After a while, Elliot broke the silence. âDonât you want to ask me anything?â
âAsk you? Why should I ask you?â Amber asked.
âYou!â Elliot smirked. âLet me tell you, things are not like that! Itâs not like that, understand?â
âOh!â Amber replied indifferently.
âAmber, do you really not like me at all?â Elliot was crazy about her indifference.
âI only respect Mr. Thomsonâs subordinates and superiors,â Amber replied.
âDonât call me Mr. Thomson. Call my name!â Amberâs answer made Elliot suddenly furious.
âIsnât that better?â
âWhatâs wrong? Iâll just say it. Call me by my name in the future!â Elliot ordered.
Amber quickly replied. Elliot softened his tone. âAmber, Iâm not a bad person. Iâm really not a bad person. Canât you try to like me?â
âNo!â Amber replied firmly.
âYou... Iâm telling you, donât regret it!â
âDonât worry, I wonât regret it!â
Elliot leaned back dejectedly and suddenly ordered Amber, âStop the car!â
Amber inexplicably stopped the car. Elliot pushed her out of the car. âIf you donât like me, get out of here! Donât let me see you again!â
Amber was inexplicably pushed out of the car. Elliot switched to the driverâs seat and threw Amberâs bag out of the car. He stepped on the accelerator and the car sped away.
In the rearview mirror, he saw that womanâs figure was getting smaller and smaller. He felt so empty in his heart. âItâs all Rodneyâs fault. Wait for me, Mr. Barron. I will never let it go so easily!â
Amber picked up his bag and sighed. âElliot is such a playboy who doesnât care about the consequences. How could he throw me on the road like this? Fortunately, he also threw his bag. His mobile phone and wallet are in his bag. Finally, I can call him home.â
Elliot drove the car for a long distance. He was worried about Amber, so he turned around and drove to the place where Amber was driven out of the car. Looking at the empty ground, he was a little worried that the woman would not be taken away.
Although he was worried in his heart, he was a little angry at the thought of her ruthlessness to him just now. It was better to be abducted. Seeing that you still dared to be arrogant in the future, he was still worried in his heart. So he called Walter and asked him to call Assistant Mole to ask where he was.
Walter muttered in his heart, âWhatâs wrong with Mr. Thomson? Is it good that I canât fight with him?â He didnât dare to refute Amberâs call. When he heard that Amber called Elliot on his way home, Elliot was relieved and went to the hospital.
Amber and Ashton quickly moved home. They didnât have much food and moved very quickly. Both of them were very happy to move to their new home. Although it was only a three-room house, it was much larger than the old house before. Amber went to the vegetable market near the community to buy food and went home to make a delicious meal. He and Ashton celebrated their move to their new home.
Ashton was a little drunk after drinking. âItâs better that Amber is capable. Your mother should be very happy to see all this in heaven.â
âYes, Mom will be very happy.â Amber picked up a chicken leg from the plate in front of Ashton. âUncle, you should eat a chicken leg.â
âYour mother used to save money by buying chicken legs for me.â Ashton didnât touch the chicken legs, his face filled with sadness.
âAmber, do you know that uncle has a deep affection for your mother? In this world, your mother is uncleâs only relative. Uncle hates that he has no ability to let your mother marry Channing, an ungrateful man, and let you suffer such humiliation.â
âUncle, itâs all over!â Amber comforted. Every time his uncle mentioned his mother, he was very sad. In front of his uncle, his mother was a taboo.
âAmber, it was uncle who dragged your mother down. If it werenât for uncle, your mother wouldnât be like this. She wouldnât be like this.â Tears rolled down Ashtonâs face. He was extremely sad. âItâs all my fault. Itâs all my fault!â
Amber quickly got up and handed a napkin to Ashton. âUncle, today is a sad day. Letâs not talk about sad things.â
âOkay, letâs not talk about sad things. We have to be happy.â Ashton wiped away his tears and looked at Amber with his eyes full of love.
This time, it took Pierce a lot of effort to come here. Before he went back, Amber had to accompany him to go shopping in the South City and be a host.
After dressing up, Amber took Mel out and went to the hotel where Pierce lived. Seeing them coming, Amber was very happy. âI thought you were just joking. I didnât expect that you would actually ask for leave to accompany me to visit South City.â
âIt sounds like I donât know how much favors I owe you!â Amber glared at him. âPierce, I must show you the most beautiful part of South City today!â
âItâs rare for you to be so generous. Itâs better to be respectful.â Pierce picked up Mel. âLetâs go!â
Amber was determined to let Pierce experience the famous historical sites in South City, but Pierce was not interested in it. He asked Amber, âAmber, just take me to experience your life as a child.â
âAre you sure?â Amber asked. When she was a child, she lived in the lowest environment, so he didnât understand why Pierce was interested in it.
âYes!â Pierce replied.
âWell, let me show you my life since I was a child. I declare that I have been poor since I was a child. The place where I live is not a beautiful place. If you are not satisfied, donât blame me!â
âNo!â
Pierce had never been to Amberâs place before, but his familiarity with this place surprised him. On the left side of the alley, there was a shop, and on the right was a noodle shop. Opposite was a clothing shop. Looking at the map of the tube-shaped apartment, Amber was very surprised. âPierce, how did you know that?â
âDidnât you tell me? Today, Iâm going to have the noodles that youâve always said were very delicious, and I have to try stinky tofu. I donât have any ice sticks with two cents left, do I?â
âI can only eat stinky tofu and noodles. The ice rod is now at least 50 percent of its original flavor,â Amber replied.
While speaking, the car stopped at the entrance of the alley. The three of them got out of the car. Amber took Pierce and Mel to the noodle shop.
The boss was already familiar with Amber, so he immediately invited the three of them to sit down. Amber asked for two bowls of fried noodles with chili sauce.
Mel couldnât eat spicy food, so she ordered chicken soup noodles for Mel.
While waiting for noodles, she went to the nearby stinky tofu shop to buy three pieces of stinky tofu.
When they got back to the restaurant, the noodles with oil and chili sauce were ready. Pierce picked up his chopsticks and smiled at her. âNow I want to have a taste of the delicious food in this world.â
After a few shallow bites, his forehead and nose were covered with sweat.
Amber took out a tissue and handed it to him. âWell, donât eat it. I canât see that you canât eat spicy food. Eat some stinky tofu, right?â
Pierce ignored him and ate all the noodles in front of him.
Amber looked at her in shock. In her memory, Pierce couldnât eat spicy food at all. What was going on?
Pierce seemed to have guessed what she was thinking. He smiled and said, âMel said that if I donât eat spicy food, how can I live with you in the future? So I slowly began to eat spicy food. Now I have just gotten used to it, and it will be better in the future.â
âPierce!â Amber looked at him, touched. She knew what he was thinking, but she was not worthy of him.
âDonât talk. Letâs eat stinky tofu.â Seeing her guilty expression, Pierce knew what Amber was thinking. He immediately picked up the stinky tofu and began to eat.
The stinky tofu smelled bad, but it tasted good. Pierce ate several pieces in a row. âNot bad, it tastes good!â
Amber didnât believe his words. It was a great insult for the young master born with the golden key to eat this. He grabbed Pierce and got up. âDonât eat it. Letâs take a walk by the river.â
