Chapter 139
The sky was bright, and Rodney opened his eyes from his deep sleep. Looking at Amber, who was sleeping soundly beside him, he felt distressed and hugged her and planted a kiss on her forehead. “Amber, I’m sorry!”
It wasn’t that he didn’t know how crazy he was last night, but he couldn’t control it at all. He was still in the car with his willpower, but when he saw Amber when he returned home, he couldn’t control it anymore. He rushed to her like a hungry wolf.
He asked for her hard on the sofa, and the raging fire in his body finally went out. He held Amber in his arms and said sorry. He ignored her punches and kicks and took her back to the bedroom. He was going to help her take a bath, but in a few minutes, his desire began to burn again, so he couldn’t control it anymore.
He heard that Amber was begging for mercy, but he couldn’t control it.
There were marks all over Amber’s body. Rodney reached out and gently caressed the kiss marks on her naked neck. His eyes darkened. Did his mother make use of his birthday to seduce him? Was she going to break up with him?
He was not a rebellious person, and he also looked down on rebellious people. He always thought that as a person, if he could not even treat his own parents well, he would lose the capital to be a human being.
He knew his mother’s hard work because he could tolerate her challenging his bottom line again and again. But now, when his mother did such a thing, Rodney was very disappointed.
How could she do such a thing against her moral bottom line? He was very filial, but not stupid. His mother went too far this time, and he would never tolerate her.
There was also Celia. He always thought that Celia was kind, but the word “good” last night was greatly reduced. She kept saying that she wanted to help him and Amber, but at the same time, she colluded with her mother to do this kind of thing.
No matter what kind of difficulties Celia had, knowing that he loved Amber, it was enough to prove how bad her character was if he could not leave Amber.
Thinking that he had felt guilty about her in the past, Rodney felt that he was really too naive. He was very glad that he had kept an eye on her. Otherwise, the relationship between him and Amber would really be desperate.
Amber, who was in his arms, moved and opened his eyes. “Amber, you’re awake!” Rodney’s eyes were full of guilt.
Amber felt pain all over his body. “Rodney, were you out of your mind last night?”
“Amber, I’m sorry!” Rodney apologized.
Amber wanted to scold him, but when he saw the scars on Rodney’s exposed skin, he stopped. Last night, he was so crazy, like a wolf. She was in so much pain that she couldn’t help gasping. Naturally, she had to resist. Rodney’s body was covered with her scratches, and his face was not spared. Looking at the bloody scratches on his face, Amber couldn’t scold him. “What happened last night?”
Rodney sighed. “I drank too much. I’m sorry!” Last night, it was his mother who schemed against him. Amber did not know how much he would despise his mother if he told others about this.
She finally understood why Amber refused to tell her the relationship between her and Channing. To Amber, it was a shame to have a father like Channing, so she would rather hide it than tell him the truth.
Last night, when Rodney came back, he was indeed full of the smell of alcohol, and his consciousness was not clear. Although Amber wondered why he was so drunk, she never dreamed that Rachel would treat her son like this, so she did not doubt it. “Drink less in the future. Your stomach is not good.”
Amber’s concern made Rodney almost burst into tears. He hugged Amber tightly and said, “Don’t worry. I won’t drink so much in the future.”
“Rodney, be gentle. You hurt me.” He exerted too much force and Amber couldn’t help complaining.
“I’m sorry! I was too excited!” Rodney quickly let go of her and couldn’t help but lower his head to kiss her again. “I’m hungry. I’ll make you breakfast.”
“Forget it. I’ll make it.” Amber got up. Rodney suspected that he had heard wrongly. He stared at Amber in a daze. Amber glared at him. “What are you looking at? Are you so surprised that I made breakfast for you?”
“I’m not surprised. I’m moved!” Indeed, this was the first time that Amber had offered to make breakfast. She had not moved for the reason that she had forgotten about it. Now that she was willing to make breakfast, did it mean that she had put down the past and was ready to accept him?
Channing just came back from his morning exercise and opened the door. He saw Celia sitting on the sofa in the living room. Seeing him come back, Celia smiled and said, “Good morning, Dad!”
Channing nodded and walked over to Celia to sit down. Celia said apologetically, “Dad, I’m sorry! I drank too much last night! I won’t do it again!”
“Do you really know you’re wrong?” Channing asked with no warmth in his eyes.
“I really know I was wrong,” Celia replied, “Dad, I was just confused. Please forgive me!”
Channing didn’t respond. Celia added, “Dad, I haven’t been home for a long time. I miss her so much. Why don’t you ask auntie to buy my favorite dishes tonight and call my sister and brother-in-law to go home for dinner?”
The word “brother-in-law” made Channing look at Celia. Seeing that her expression was very natural, he nodded slightly. He agreed. His mother was right. In Channing’s heart, only Amber was his sweetheart. She was nothing. Celia hated him so much in her heart, but she didn’t show it on her face. “I’ll call him now!”
Seeing that she picked up the phone and was about to make a call, Channing stopped her. “Forget it. Amber won’t listen to you. I’ll call you!”
After Rodney finished his breakfast, he went to the company. Deon was very surprised to see him. “Why aren’t you resting at home?”
“The bidding is about to begin. I’m not at ease.”
“There’s no problem with the patent. The key lies in the design. It’s useless for you to come here, but I just received a message…” After saying that, Deon glanced at Rodney and saw the scar on his face. He suddenly stopped talking about it and asked cautiously, “Did Madam catch him?”
“Mm,” Rodney said as he sat down. “What news?”
Seeing that he was not unhappy, Deon was relieved. “It’s about Mr. Black. He seems to have encountered some trouble.” Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.
“About the suspended leave?”
“It’s not that. It has something to do with Tim, the chairman of Tim.”
Rodney frowned when he heard that. It was definitely not a small matter to have anything to do with Tim. Could it be that Channing really could not escape this time?
While he was thinking, his phone rang. It was a call from Channing, asking him to go back to the Black family with Amber. He had something to say. Rodney was about to tell Channing about what had happened with Celia, so he agreed.
Channing hung up the phone and called Amber again. Amber’s voice was very cold. “Mr. Black, are you cured?”
Channing didn’t care about her attitude. “Amber, come back with Jinyan for dinner tonight.”
“Mr. Black, don’t you feel uncomfortable when you see Rodney?” Amber asked.
Channing forced a smile and said, “Amber, it’s a good thing for you and Rodney to be together again. Dad has always hoped that you can live a good life! I made such a mistake to make you happy. Dad has never thought of hurting you!”
“Stop! I don’t want to mention this again.” Amber interrupted him. In order to make her happy, everything was for her own good. Channing just said these nonsense words naturally, but she felt uncomfortable.
“Mr. Black, you are an official. You are broad-minded and tolerant. But your mistress and mistress are ordinary people. Are you sure they don’t like you?”
“They also know their status,” Channing replied.
It was good that they knew their status well. Since Channing had pretended to be ill last time, Amber no longer believed Channing. His intuition made him believe that there must be something bad that Channing had asked him and Rodney to go back this time.
However, no matter what his plot was, it didn’t matter to Amber. She just wanted to watch the performance of Channing’s family. Others might have feelings for them, but she would never have any feelings for them. No matter what Channing wanted to do, he wouldn’t succeed.
At six o’clock in the evening, Rodney and Amber came to the Black family. Hearing the sound of the car, Aunt Maleah came out first. Then Channing, Shannon, and Celia also came out.
Just as Amber had imagined, everyone had a smile on their faces. Amber deliberately looked at Shannon and Celia’s faces for a while, and secretly cheered in his heart. At this time, they could smile. They were really good at acting.
Rodney opened the trunk and took out a series of gifts. Channing took them with a smile. “Don’t spend too much money in the future!”
“It’s what I should do!” Rodney replied with a smile. He continued to take the gifts out of the car. The amount of gifts he received was more than double each time he came.
Celia looked at the smile on Rodney’s face and felt a sharp pain in her heart. This was the real Rodney. Not only did he have a smile on his face, but his eyes were also smiling. Having been with her for such a long time, she had never felt that his eyes would smile.
She had loved him for so many years. In order to get him, she had planned for nine years and wasted her nine-year youth. But what did she get in the end?
In addition to humiliation and tears, this man had never given her any sincerity. Celia hated him so much. Her mother was right. She was too stupid. It was not worthwhile to put all her pressure on a man who was willing to be his subordinate. From today on, she would never be the silly Celia again.
Shannon reached out and poked Celia. When Celia came back to her senses, she found that her mother, Channing, and even Aunt Maleah were carrying gifts in their hands. Amber looked at Celia with
a sneer.
Although Celia had a smile on her face, she could see that she was obviously absent-minded. Celia’s cultivation was much lower than Shannon’s, and she was also the person involved. It was very good for her to be able to do this.
At least he was not on the same level as her. She was sure that she would not do such a good thing when she encountered such a thing.
Seeing Shannon poking her daughter, the sneer on Amber’s face deepened. He glanced at Channing. He didn’t know if he had seen the mother and daughter’s performance, or if he really knew them.
Seeing that Rodney had taken the last gift from the car, Celia, who had come to her senses, stepped forward and said, “Brother-in-law, give it to me!”
Celia called him brother-in-law, which made Amber more impressed. She could see the unwillingness in Celia’s eyes, but she was the first to call him brother-in-law in public.
This was equivalent to admitting the relationship between her and Rodney, indicating that she had already withdrawn. This was such a difficult change.
Not only was Amber surprised, but Shannon and Channing were also surprised. Shannon was very pleased. Her daughter was indeed not an ordinary person. Being able to recover in such a short time and cooperate with her acting was enough to prove that her idea had changed.
As long as her daughter no longer loved Rodney wholeheartedly, as long as she no longer wanted to become a subordinate of a man, her life would be controlled by herself, and what she wanted would be as easy as pie.
