Chapter 54: Chapter 55

He strode back to the car and leaned against the back of the chair. He suddenly felt that his behavior was really ridiculous. She was the only one he had devoted all his heart to, and he was the only one in her heart.

He did not live as long as she did, but she lived a relaxed and comfortable life. It was Pierce and Elliot. Thinking of the constant peach blossoms around her, he felt really upset.

Let go of her just like that? It wasn’t worth being so coy over a heartless woman, but his heart was filled with unwillingness. A delicate voice resounded in his mind. “I’ll grow old with my son!” The hand of the son grew old with his son! Amber, don’t try to deny what you promised me!

After thinking for a while, Rodney took out his mobile phone and called Deon. “Ask someone to tell Mrs. Tang that her precious grandson is wandering around with my woman in South City. Ask her what she wants.”

“I’ll do it right away!” Deon immediately agreed.

“There’s one more thing. Tell Brian Hammond that his future son-in-law pestered his divorced special assistant all the time and was spread all over the South City. It’s really outrageous.” Deon agreed again. In his heart, who said that a woman was jealous?

This man was even more distant than a woman when he was jealous. Mr. Barron’s move was to completely cut off other people’s hearts!

He hung up the phone and rubbed the space between his eyebrows. He always felt angry. He didn’t believe that Breanna would be indifferent when she heard that his beloved grandson and Amber were together.

Back then, Amber didn’t even marry Breanna and didn’t agree with her having anything to do with Pierce. Now, it was even more impossible. As long as Breanna intervened, Pierce, the annoying guy, would soon disappear in the South City.

As for Elliot, as long as Brian gave Old Master Mr. Thomson a call, he believed that the Thomson Family would take action soon.

Thinking of this, Rodney was happy again.

Amber and Pierce left the river with Mel in their arms. When they took a taxi on the roadside, they found that people were looking at them strangely. Then they found that their faces were covered with mud. Ignoring the strange looks of others, they stopped a taxi and went home.

Ashton was very surprised to see them come back. “I thought you wouldn’t come back for lunch, so I didn’t buy food. I’ll go buy some cooked dishes.”

“Don’t bother. Just put some noodles on it,” Pierce replied.

Amber nodded. “Uncle, please order some noodles. Pierce is not picky.”

Ashton’s movements were very quick. Pierce and Amber washed their faces. There was already hot egg noodles on the table.

Mel ate half a bowl of noodles and fell asleep.

Amber carried Mel into the bedroom and placed her on the bed. Pierce had already finished eating and Ashton was tidying up the table.

Amber poured a glass of water for Pierce, and the two of them sat on the sofa and talked. Thinking of Rodney’s appearance today, Pierce frowned slightly. “What happened to Rodney today? What a coincidence!”

“Who knows? I saw a ghost recently. I found him here every few days,” Amber replied.

“Really? Is he following you?” Pierce suddenly became alert.

“Follow me? Mr. Barron shouldn’t be so bored. Maybe it’s just a coincidence,” Amber replied.

“From the way he looks today, I think he hasn’t given up yet.”

“So what if he doesn’t give up? It’s enough for me to give up on him.” Amber sneered. He was a little angry when he thought about it. “If Mel hadn’t been here today, I would have thrown him into the mud!”

Pierce frowned slightly. “Amber, you and Rodney look up and down. He will know about Mel sooner or later. You should think of a way to deal with it as soon as possible. Don’t panic like you did today.”

Amber nodded. “I know what I’m doing. Don’t worry, I’m in a panic today because I’m not ready yet. I won’t do this again if we meet again in the future.”

“You already have a way? What is it?” Pierce was confused.

“Yes, I have a way. Mel is my child. I will admit it generously in the future. Can Mr. Barron take care of me and others to have children?”

“It’s not easy to fool Rodney. Mel looks like you. He will definitely check it out. If he finds it out, it will be difficult.” Pierce was not so optimistic. “Why don’t you let Mel go with me?”

“Pierce, you have done too much for me. I am very grateful for your help, but this time I must keep Mel with me.” Amber was very determined. In the past, he entrusted Mel to Pierce because he had no ability to raise him. But now, it was different. She had a stable job and could provide Mel with a stable life. She should never endure the pain of separation of mother and son.

“I know you can’t live without Mel, but I am really worried that Rodney will know the truth and rob you of your child. With his ability, you will definitely lose if you rob your child.”

“I won’t let him know about the child’s identity. Mel’s parents made me take a leave. According to the date, it is estimated that the child was pregnant three months after I left him.”

“Rodney isn’t a fool. He would definitely think that the date was fake.”

“Don’t worry. I have more convincing things besides fake dates,” Amber replied. “He will definitely believe it.”

Pierce sat for a while and said goodbye. Not long after he returned to the hotel, Elliot came. Looking at the dark corners of his eyes, Pierce was shocked. “What happened?”

“Didn’t Amber tell you?” Elliot asked.

“No.”

Hearing Pierce’s words, Elliot’s face fell. “This woman is really heartless!”

He told her about his fight with Rodney. “Do you think there’s something wrong with Mr. Barron? What does he want to do with me?”

“How would I know? Maybe he doesn’t like it.” Pierce replied, but his heart was clear. Rodney must be jealous that Elliot liked Amber. But since the man surnamed Mr. Barron liked Amber so much, why did he cheat on Amber?

“Is there a reason? But why shouldn’t I betray the marriage?”

“Did he also fancy Amber?” Elliot muttered to himself. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was true. “If this Mr.

Barron has such an idea, I’ll teach him a lesson.”

“How can you make him look good?” Pierce asked.

“I’m going to tell him Amber’s true identity. I’m going to piss him off.” Elliot was smug. Wasn’t Mu flirting with Channing’s youngest daughter? If he found out that Amber was his eldest daughter, the show would be exciting.

“Nonsense!” Pierce’s face suddenly darkened. “You can’t tell anyone about Amber’s identity.”

Seeing that Pierce’s expression had changed, Elliot also thought of Amber’s words that he asked him to keep his identity a secret. He knew that he had made a slip of the tongue and smiled awkwardly. “I don’t understand. Since she’s not an illegitimate daughter, why don’t you want others to know her relationship with Channing? Isn’t it a big deal to have a secretary?”

“Everyone has their own thoughts and goals. If she doesn’t want to be recognized, then there’s a reason why she doesn’t want to. You just need to remember one thing. Don’t reveal her relationship with Channing.”

“I’m just saying it. I’ll keep her words in mind,” Elliot replied. “However, I’ll keep this revenge in mind. I’ll pay it back in the future.”

“You will seek revenge for the smallest grievance!” Pierce shook his head.

Elliot glared at him. “Am I going to seek revenge for the smallest grievance? Is it because Mr. Barron has repeatedly ruined my plans that I’m like this?”

“Say, if you weren’t so impulsive as to let Mr. Barron find your weakness and attack you?” Pierce asked.

“You’re right, but I had to do that at that time!” Elliot said with a bitter face, “Pierce, to tell you the truth, I really have no intention of doing that to Breanna.”

“You mean something at all?” Pierce joked.

“No, I don’t mean anything! You know, a rabbit doesn’t eat the grass near its nest. Breanna and I grew up together. Can I eat the grass in her nest?”

“A rabbit doesn’t eat grass? What about Amber?”

“Amber is a suddenly emerging army. He can’t be counted as a blade of grass. He is different from Breanna. I beg you, Pierce. I really don’t want you to be my brother-in-law. You should persuade Breanna to quickly harm others. Don’t keep an eye on me. I can’t stand it!”

“Elliot, you have to be honest. Do I want to have a brother-in-law like you?” Pierce snorted.

“We all don’t want it. Since you’re helping me, I’ve had enough of the title of a playboy. If it wasn’t for the sake of avoiding Breanna’s entanglement, would I need to ask for Keke’s love in such a big way?”

“Elliot, you’re in a bad mood. If you don’t like Breanna, you should make it clear to her. She will naturally think that you have feelings for her.”

“You wronged me. I made it very clear to her, but she just didn’t believe it. You know that the Mr. Thomson family has always hoped to marry into the Hammond family. I’m so unlucky. You have a good relationship with Breanna. Please persuade her. I’m not worthy of her sacrifice.”

As he spoke, Pierce’s phone rang. He picked it up and heard a woman’s hurried voice. “Brother, bad news!”

Hearing the female voice, Elliot frowned slightly and stood up subconsciously. Pierce looked at him and couldn’t help laughing.

Breanna was not a fierce beast like Elliot. How could she be so afraid? “What happened, Breanna?”

“Grandma fainted!”

“He fainted?” Pierce was shocked. “How did he faint?”

“I don’t know. I just received a call from my aunt. I was on my way to the hospital. I called you immediately because I was worried.”

“Has anyone else been informed?”

“I’ve already informed you. Don’t worry too much, big brother. I’m just telling you, maybe Grandma is fine. I’ll call you when I go to the hospital to see Grandma.”

Pierce agreed to hang up the phone. Seeing his worried face, Elliot comforted him. “Nothing will happen. Don’t worry!”

“The old lady is old, and her health has been getting worse and worse in recent years. I’m very worried.” Pierce sighed. He had been brought up by his grandmother since he was a child, so he had a deep affection for her. It was impossible for him not to worry about her fainting.

“Let’s wait for Breanna to go to the hospital and see what’s going on.”

Pierce nodded, looking troubled. Seeing him like this, Elliot had no choice but to take his leave.
