Chasing My Rejected Wife

Chapter 169

“Amber, you don’t have to be angry from embarrassment. I’m telling you, your best choice now is to marry Rodney. Anyway, you already have two children. No matter how much you want them to be together with their own fathers, it’s better to find their stepfathers.”

“Mom!” A childish voice suddenly sounded. Mel stood at the door of the room and looked at Amber and Breanna innocently. “Aren’t you going to marry Uncle Pierce? Why are you Uncle Rodney again?”

Amber was stunned when he saw his son. Mel was taking a nap in bed. When did she wake up? He must have heard all of her conversation with Breanna from her son’s expression. Damn Breanna!

“Because Uncle Rodney is your biological father.” Breanna saw Mel’s vicious answer.

“Breanna!” Amber raised his voice. She really wanted to tear Breanna’s mouth apart.

“Uncle Rodney is my father? Is this true?” Mel looked at Amber. He only believed in his mother’s words. He wanted to prove it to his mother.

“Of course it’s true. The baby in your mother’s belly is Uncle Rodney… No, it belongs to Daddy, Rodney.”

“Breanna, hurry up and leave! Otherwise, I won’t be polite to you.” Amber reached out to push Breanna. Breanna saw that Amber was angry, so she didn’t dare to stay. So she left. Mel stood at the door of the room and cried. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Amber quickly hugged him and coaxed him. “Mel, be a good girl. Don’t cry.”

“Mom, is Uncle Rodney really my dad?” Mel was determined to know the answer. Amber sighed and nodded. “Why doesn’t dad want us? I saw his engagement with another woman on TV. Why doesn’t he want me and mom?”

“It’s not that Dad doesn’t want us, it’s just that Dad has his own difficulties,” Amber explained. It was just that her explanation was completely meaningless to a child.

Mel saw with its own eyes the news that Rodney and Celia were engaged. Although it was disappointed in the past, for him, Rodney was just an uncle, so it had not been so sad.

Now that his uncle had become his father, his young mind could not accept this fact. He was already very obedient and his mother was very good. Why did his father not want him and his mother?

Mel couldn’t understand the fact that her father didn’t want her and her mother. He was very sad. “Mom, Dad is a bad guy, a bad guy!”

“No… Dad isn’t,” Amber explained.

“He is! He is a big bad guy! I hate him!” This was the first time that Amber heard Mel’s words of hatred. The target was Rodney, his biological father. She didn’t know what to say but just hugged Mel to comfort him.

At this time, Rodney came. During this period of time, he took time to visit Mel every day. Usually, after Mel took a nap, he didn’t stand out today. Rodney carried a lot of Mel’s favorite food and toys. When he entered the door, he saw Amber holding Mel in his arms and crying. He was very surprised. “What’s wrong?”

Mel broke free from Amber and ran to him when she saw him. He reached out to hug him, but Mel grabbed his hand and spat fiercely. “Bad guy, you’re a bad guy! I don’t want to see you again!”

Rodney grimaced in pain, but Mel turned around and ran back to the room. After a while, he rushed out with a toy gun in his hand. He pointed the gun at Rodney, his face full of anger. “You liar, get out of my house, or I’ll kill you!”

Rodney looked at Mel, who was excited. He could feel Mel’s anger. A child would never hide his feelings. He had a feeling that if the child had a real gun in his hand, he would definitely shoot it into his chest.

“What happened?” Rodney looked at Amber again. Amber smiled bitterly. “Breanna just came here to make a scene. She told us about your relationship with Mel. Mel heard it.”

Rodney stood rooted to the spot. He had thought of countless scenes of him being reunited with his son. He had always thought that he would be happy and happy, but he had never thought that it would be filled with such a smell of gunpowder.

His son’s beautiful and clear eyes were no longer filled with his previous dependence and trust. Instead, they were filled with anger. No matter how Amber tried to persuade him, he refused to let go of his gun.

He continued to point his toy gun at Rodney. “Liar, you big liar, get lost! We don’t want to see you, and we don’t want to see you even if we die!”

Rodney looked at Mel’s hateful eyes and listened to his disgusted words. His heart was like a knife being cut by a knife. This was his child.

Half of his own blood flowed in his blood. If it weren’t for those accidents, he should have had fun with him and admired his father very much. Their relationship should have been very good, but now everything should have become something that shouldn’t have happened. The happy scenes between father and son didn’t appear on him and Mel. For Mel, he was an unforgivable bad guy and a devil.

“Rodney, can you go back first?” Amber saw that Mel was emotional and unwilling to listen to his advice, so he had to persuade him to leave. However, he stood there and did not move. His eyes were fixed on Mel. He really wanted to apologize to Mel and ask for its forgiveness. But at this moment, he could not find any words to say in his usual tone.

How could he make up for the harm he had done to the child? How could he make Mel forgive him? God, please help me! I beg you! At this moment, Rodney was helpless. He had never been so helpless and pitiful.

Rodney returned home with a heavy heart. Rachel was eating the nutritious soup made by Riya for her. When she saw her son coming back, she was very happy and hurriedly ordered Riya to serve a bowl of soup for Rodney.

Rodney was not in the mood to drink soup. He was driven away by Mel from Elliot’s villa. The food and toys he bought for Mel were also cleaned up and thrown out by Mel. Although his son was young, he was very clear about right and wrong. In his small heart, Rodney knew that he had become a big demon. He could not forgive him at all.

Later, he sat in the car in a daze for a long time. His son’s angry face had always been in his mind, and he didn’t know what he should do next.

After thinking about it for a while, he had to go home. He didn’t take a sip of the soup that Riya gave him. He just sat there in a daze until Rachel finished the soup and called him a few times. Only then did he come to his senses.

“Son, what happened to you today?” Rachel was confused. Rodney raised his body and pushed Rachel into the study. He closed the door of the study and sighed. “Mom, Mel knows that I am his father.”

“Isn’t this a good thing?” Rachel was overjoyed. “When will you bring him home?”

“Take him home? Mom, how can you think so easily?” Rodney smiled bitterly. “Mel hates me very much. He hates me for abandoning his mother and son. He aimed the toy gun at me and asked me to get lost. He even called me a liar…” Rodney could not continue. His son’s angry face and scolding had always been in his mind, and his mood could not be described in words.

“It’s all Amber’s fault. If she had told the child the truth earlier, would the child hate you so much?” Rachel pushed the blame onto Amber when she saw her son in pain.

“Mom, this has nothing to do with Amber. I finally know why Amber doesn’t want me to reconcile with Mel. She has no selfish motives, because she knew that Mel would hate me.”

“What do you mean?” Rachel was confused.

“Mel saw the press conference of my engagement with Celia on TV. Although he was young, he also understood what was going on. So he thought that I abandoned him and Amber, so he couldn’t understand me.”

Rachel couldn’t say a word. She was in charge of the press conference of the engagement between Rodney and Celia. Her original purpose was to make Amber give up. However, she didn’t expect that this scene would be seen by her grandson.

It was very quiet in the study. After a while, Rachel said, “The child is still young. He doesn’t know anything now. He will understand when he grows up in the future. You should feel wronged now and coax him more. He will definitely change his attitude toward you.”

“I will coax him, but whether he can accept me is another matter.” Rodney sighed heavily. “Mom, I’m telling you this. I want you not to disturb Amber and Mel in the future. Mel is ill now and can’t stand any torture. As for Amber, he has been very tired for Mel these years. Don’t bother him anymore and distract her.”

Rachel didn’t say anything. She had made up her mind to compete with Amber for the right to raise Mel. If she agreed with her son, it didn’t mean that she would give up. Seeing that her mother didn’t speak, Rodney knelt down in front of Rachel. “Mom, I beg you!”

Rachel was not happy to see her son like this. Everything she did was for her son, but now it seemed that her son was not grateful. Looking at her son’s sad look, she sighed and said, “Well, mom, I can promise you that I won’t disturb Amber, but you have to promise me one thing.”

“What request?”

“Don’t hang yourself on a tree. There are many good women in the world. You should have your own life.”

Rodney was not in the mood to think about this, but his mother said that she would not disturb Amber and Mel, which was a big change for him. He nodded and said, “Let’s talk about it when Mel is cured.”

Rachel agreed not to disturb Amber and Mel for her own purpose. First, Mel was sick, so it was better for her mother to take care of her. Second, Celia’s desire for her grandson was not so strong because she was pregnant with Rodney’s child. She took a step back just to go further.

The next day, Rodney bought food and toys to see Mel. However, as soon as he entered, he was hit by a ball thrown by Mel. “You big liar, bad guy. You are not allowed to come here. Go now!”

Rodney’s heart ached. He tried to comfort him. “Mel, I brought you your favorite toy…”

“You’re not my father! I don’t want you to be so kind! I don’t want anything! Go!”

Ashton heard the voice and shook his head when he saw this scene. “Mr. Barron, you’d better not come. Mel won’t forgive you.”

Rodney looked at Mel’s angry eyes and sighed in his heart. “Where’s Amber?”

“Amber went out to buy vegetables,” Ashton replied.

“Grandpa, don’t talk to a big liar. Throw him out!” Mel pointed at Rodney’s face and said angrily.

“You’d better leave as soon as possible. Don’t provoke the child. He can’t stand the stimulation in his current state!”

Rodney didn’t dare to irritate his son. He could only turn around and leave the living room, preparing to wait for Amber to come back from outside the villa. He stood outside the door for a while, and there was a noise behind him. Rodney turned around and saw Mel bring out the things he had bought.

All of a sudden, it smashed in front of him. He was small, so those things couldn’t be lifted at all. He ran three times in a row before he smashed all the things brought by Rodney on the ground.
