Chasing My Rejected Wife by J.Liu

Rodney was asleep, but Amber was quietly thinking about something. Why was Rodney’s question so

strange tonight? Why did he ask about his mother? What did he want to know? Or did he already know

something?

Ever since she was sensible, her mother had always been reluctant to mention her grandmother in

front of her. She had always said lightly that her grandmother was dead. But since her grandmother

was dead, why was there no grave?

Could it be that his mother was lying? Did his grandmother actually not die? That was why Rodney

came to ask him what he had heard? It was just that this matter had nothing to do with him. His mother

was dead, and his uncle was the only relative. As for these things, only his uncle knew them. Amber

decided to go back and ask his uncle Ashton.

The next day, Amber returned to Ashton’s residence and chatted with him about other things. She

quickly asked her own question. “Uncle, I have a question to ask you. Did Grandpa and Grandma only

give birth to you and Mom?”

Ashton was stunned and nodded.

“I heard that my mom and grandma died when you were very young. You and mom were raised by a

kind-hearted person, but my mom and I went to my grandpa’s grave. Why didn’t my grandma’s grave?”

Ashton was silent. Amber saw that he was silent and asked tentatively, “Is Grandma still alive?”

Ashton shook his head. “She’s dead.”

“Then why didn’t you bury her beside Grandpa?”

“This… is because… because she got married later.”

“Grandma got married again? Who is she going to marry?”

“It seems that she married a man surnamed Wu. I don’t know the details. At that time, my uncle and

your mother were very young. Later, they moved away, so we don’t know much about her.”

Amber understood a little. It turned out that her grandmother abandoned her young daughter to get

married after her grandfather’s death, so her mother hated her grandmother for not mentioning it at all.

“How can grandma be so cruel?”

Ashton wanted to explain, but he didn’t know how to explain it. If he put in a good word for his

stepmother, Amber would definitely keep asking about it. In this way, some things would inevitably be

made up. However, he didn’t want to let Amber misunderstand his stepmother. In fact, her stepmother

was a good woman, and she was forced to do so at that time!

Seeing that her uncle was silent, Amber asked again, “Grandma must have given birth to a baby after

getting married, right? So, in this world, I actually have other relatives?”

“Amber, are you looking forward to having other relatives?”

“Of course, it’s better to have relatives than to be alone and helpless. Uncle, if you can find other

children of Grandma, will you reconcile with them?”

“I don’t know. Maybe!” Ashton looked at the time. “It’s almost noon. Uncle’s going to buy vegetables

and cook for you. What would you like to eat today?”

“I’ll go with uncle.”

“No, you stay at home. My uncle will be back soon.” Looking at his uncle’s hurried figure, Amber felt a

little strange. “Why do I feel that something is wrong with my uncle?”

Ashton walked out of the room and frowned. Sure enough, there was no such thing as an impenetrable

wall in the world. Amber must have heard something when he came to ask him these questions.

Was he going to tell Amber the truth? If he knew that it wasn’t Ashton but Issac didn’t know what

Amber would think?

It was not about his identity, but that he was worried about Itzel’s nonsense. Although Itzel was his half-

sister, her character was very bad. It would not be a good thing for Amber if she slandered him.

The wind never stopped. Did he only want to live a peaceful life and finish his life? Ashton heaved a

long sigh. No matter what, he had to think of a solution. If it didn’t work, then he would take Amber and

leave South City!

Ever since he had quarreled with his mother and left that day, Rodney had never returned home. Not

only did he not make any calls to Rachel.

His ruthlessness made Rachel very angry. This was a typical example of having a woman who didn’t

want a mother. Her filial son was ruined by Amber, the vixen. She couldn’t let the vixen enter her house

again, so she agreed with Itzel’s suggestion.

She did this not only because of the sports meeting, but also because she wanted to make Amber sad.

She wanted to let her know that she would never win the battle.

Tomorrow was Rachel’s birthday. Every year, she would celebrate her birthday. Rodney had already

begun to prepare for it, but this year, there was no movement at all. He even forgot his own birthday.

Rachel was so angry that she asked the auntie to call Rodney to remind him that it was her birthday

tomorrow.

After Rodney answered the phone and promised to come back tomorrow, Rachel was relieved. She

called Celia again and asked her to come over for dinner tomorrow night. She also invited several

friends who had a good relationship with her.

Because he had to go home to celebrate his mother’s birthday, Rodney told Amber in advance that he

would meet the Barron family to celebrate his mother’s birthday in the evening and would not come

back for dinner.

Amber didn’t comment on his return for dinner. Rodney had wanted to bring Amber home for dinner,

but when he saw that Amber had nothing to do with it, he had no choice but to swallow his words.

Amber wasn’t the Amber he used to be. He wouldn’t lower himself like he used to be, and his mother

wasn’t a good person either.

Although he would not embarrass Amber in front of guests, he would definitely not say something nice.

It would be difficult to deal with it when the time came. Therefore, he could not be in a hurry. He would

talk about it when there was a chance in the future.

When Rodney returned to the Barron family’s house, the guests that should have arrived had all

arrived. Celia had also arrived. When she saw Celia, Rodney’s brows furrowed slightly.

He called her and asked her to meet him every day. She said that she didn’t have any spare time, but

she was able to find time to celebrate her mother’s birthday. Sima Zhao knew very well what she was

thinking. He couldn’t help but feel a little disgusted by Celia.

Celia saw Rodney and quickly came over to explain, “Dad is out of the hospital today.”

She was explaining why she had time to attend Rachel’s birthday party. Hearing her explanation,

Rodney felt more comfortable. Since Channing had been discharged from the hospital, Celia had no

reason to refuse to meet him. He had to make things clear with Celia and ask Channing to make it

clear.

The dinner party was about the family banquet. Those who came were all Rachel’s best friends. When

they saw Celia, they all showed a well-known smile. They had a happy meal. Because it was Rachel’s

birthday, Rachel drank a lot of wine. Finally, she couldn’t hold it anymore and asked her son, Rodney,

to help her return the toast.

Therefore, Rodney drank a round of wine. After the meal, he also drank a lot of wine. Although the

alcohol was not very high, he still felt a little headache. After the banquet, most of the guests said

goodbye and left.

Only Itzel and Celia had not left yet. Seeing that her son was drunk, Rachel asked her son to go back

to his room to rest and gave Celia a wink. Celia’s heart beat fast, and she was very happy. Tonight was

a good opportunity for her. Thinking of what would happen in the meeting, her face couldn’t help but

turn red.

Rodney staggered upstairs. It didn’t take long for Rodney to enter the room. Rachel motioned for Riya

to prepare the soup for Rodney to sober up. She asked Itzel in a low voice, “Is that medicine harmful to

your body?”

“No, it’s just an aphrodisiac. Didn’t you say that Rodney has no interest in other women? If he’s not

interested in it, he’ll be interested as well.” Itzel also lowered her voice.

Riya brought out the soup. Rachel went to her son’s room with the soup. Hearing the sound, Rodney

opened his eyes. Rachel went to the bed and handed the soup to her son. “Rodney, drink this soup.”

Rodney didn’t say anything as he took the soup from his mother and drank it up. Seeing his son finish

the soup, Rachel came out with an empty bowl in satisfaction.

“Have you drunk all of them?” Itzel asked worriedly.

“Drink it.”

“In about ten minutes, Celia will go up.” Itzel looked at Celia. Celia blushed and lowered her head to sit

on the sofa in the living room. Rachel and Itzel sat beside her and taught her how to stay there.

Just as they were talking, the sound of cars came from outside. Soon, the door was pushed open.

Rodney’s special assistant, Deon, strode in. He greeted the women in the living room very politely. “I’m

here to pick up Mr. Barron.”

“What’s the matter at this time?” Rachel’s intuition told her that something bad was going to happen.

She hurriedly got up to stop him. “Rodney is drunk and is lying on the bed. Don’t disturb him and let

him rest.”

“I’m sorry, Madam. This is an important matter. I must take Mr. Barron away.” Deon’s attitude was

neither servile nor overbearing.

“If I say I can’t, then I can’t! Rodney must stay tonight. You should leave now. If he blames you, I will

bear the responsibility.” Rachel was unhappy.

“I’m sorry, Madam. Please forgive me for not obeying your orders. I’m Mr. Barron’s assistant and I’m at

his disposal.”

“You’re just an assistant hired by Rodney. To put it nicely, you’re an assistant, but to put it bluntly, you’re

just a servant. What right do you have to refute me?” Rachel was annoyed when she saw that Deon

didn’t give her face.

Deon smiled faintly and was not angry at her insult. “Madam is right. I am indeed a servant hired by Mr.

Barron, but as a servant, I am only loyal to my master. Madam is not my master, so I can’t listen to your

words!”

After that, he moved over to Rachel and went upstairs. Seeing that Deon was going to go upstairs,

Rachel was anxious and reached out to stop him. “This is my home. Did I agree to let you go upstairs?”

“As long as I agree!” A cold voice sounded. The people downstairs looked up and saw that Rodney had

walked out of the door and was standing on the second floor looking down at them.

“Rodney, it wasn’t easy for you to come back. Can’t you stay at home for one night?”

“No!” Rodney went downstairs and stumbled. Deon immediately went up to hold him. “Mr. Barron, are

you all right?”

“You’ve come at the right time. Nothing will happen if you’re here,” Rodney replied.

Seeing Deon holding Rodney downstairs, Rachel and Itzel looked at each other. They knew that their

plan would not succeed today. They were a little angry and anxious. “Rodney, it’s my mother’s birthday

today. Can you bear to leave me alone at home?”

Rodney felt as if there was a fire burning in his chest. He ignored Rachel and ordered Deon, “Let’s go.

Let’s leave now.”

“Rodney, you can’t leave Mom alone!” Rachel saw that her son’s face was flushed red. She knew that

the drug had taken effect. If she could keep her son here for a while longer, maybe…

Rodney looked at his mother with a sneer. “Mom, I have to leave tonight! Even God can’t control me!”

Deon strode through the living room with the help of Rodney. Looking at the blushing Celia in the living

room, Rodney stopped and said, “Ms. Black, don’t you want your shame?”
