Kelsey closed the door of the private room and sat opposite Itzel. Itzelâs face darkened. âMiss, what can I do for you?â
Kelsey looked at Itzel and bit her lip. The woman in front of her resembled her a little bit. She did not know why she had a faint look of expectation in her heart, hoping that she was her mother.
Itzel hated Kelsey. Rachel had said that she wanted Kelsey to have a baby with Rodney, and Kelsey had a close relationship with Rodney, which made her uncomfortable when she saw Kelsey. Her tone was also very unpleasant.
âI...â Kelsey took out a Guanyin jade pendant from her pocket and placed it on the table. âDo you know this jade pendant?â
Itzelâs expression changed when she saw the jade pendant. She picked it up and looked at it carefully. âWhy is this with you?â
âIs it yours?â Kelsey looked eagerly at Itzel.
âYes!â Itzel picked up the jade pendant. âThis is my familyâs jade pendant. My mother left it for me. I accidentally lost it back then, but why was it here with you?â
âThis jade pendant was given to my adoptive parents by the orphanageâs yard. She said that this jade pendant was given to me by the person who gave it to me to keep. She said that this was my motherâs stuff. As long as I find the owner of this jade pendant, I can find my mother... I have been looking for this jade pendant for so many years... Mother! I finally found you!â
Kelseyâs eyes were full of tears, and she choked with sobs.
Itzel looked at Kelsey in surprise, and a memory flashed across her mind. In the middle of the winter night, a woman in a thick cotton-padded jacket handed a newborn baby to a shrewd man. âTake this little bastard away immediately! Send him as far as possible!â
The man reached out to take the baby and disappeared in the cold night. After that night, her jade pendant disappeared. She always thought that it was lost by accident, but she didnât expect that it was taken away. Itzel hated him so much. âDamn man, how could he do this to me! How could he make such a big mess for me? What should I do now?â
Kelsey was still crying on the opposite side, but Itzelâs heart had already passed a few corners. The person in front of her was a problem. Would she admit it or not?
Looking at her like this, if she didnât admit it, she would definitely keep looking for it. The paper couldnât cover the fire, and it would be bad if the matter of that year was exposed.
However, there was always a knot in her heart. Looking at Kelseyâs delicate and beautiful face, and thinking of the ambiguous relationship between her and Rodney, since this little enemy came to her, she must have done an investigation. She had no choice but to admit it. Itzel gritted her teeth in the bottom of her heart and decided to admit it. Maybe she could help in the future.
Thinking of this, her face immediately showed sadness, and her beautiful big eyes also burst into tears. âMy child, my poor child!
It was my motherâs fault to send you to the orphanage, but I had no choice!â
She held Kelsey in her arms and said, âAn unmarried woman like me couldnât live with a child. I had no choice, so I had to send you to the orphanage. I went back to look for you. Later, I heard that you were adopted!â
She did not lie. She had secretly visited the orphanage after hearing that the child had been sent to the orphanage. Later, when she heard that the child had been adopted, she suddenly felt relieved and never thought about it again.
âMy adoptive parents have all passed away. When they died, they told me the truth and asked me to use this jade pendant to find my biological mother... I... I didnât expect that I could really find you!â
Kelsey was really happy. Although Itzel left her in the orphanage without asking, she always believed that she had her own difficulties. She was really happy to find her birth mother.
However, Itzelâs thoughts were different from hers. This Kelsey was destined to be a problem. She had to think of a way to deal with it so as not to cause more trouble in the future. The two of them each had their own thoughts and hugged each other while crying.
Amber and Noemi received a call from Rodney when they were eating. He asked her where she was, what she ate with Noemi, and what she ate. She was as long-winded as an old woman. Amber was so annoyed by her.
It was said that the IQ of a woman in love was zero, but if these words were used on a man, he would be in such a situation. He was worried about gains and losses every day, and he was in a dilemma every day.
He always felt that there was a reason why Amber suddenly changed his attitude toward him, but he couldnât find a reason. To be honest, he was afraid that all the beauty now was just an illusion. He was afraid that when he opened the door one day, he would find that Amber would disappear like before.
Every time he went out in the morning, he would remind Amber not to miss him. When he was at work, he did not forget to call her and ask where she was. When he came home in the evening, he would be Amber. Did you miss me?
Amber himself felt that Rodney was very strange. After hanging up the phone, she sighed and said, âDo you think heâs pretending? Is it necessary to be so disgusting?â
Noemi smiled and said, âDonât ask me this kind of question because I donât have any love experience, but I think most of it is due to Rodneyâs disguise. I havenât seen him think much of you since we were separated for three years. Why are you suddenly so reluctant? Itâs not normal to think about it...â
Amber nodded. âThatâs what Iâm thinking as well. Iâm just wondering why heâs putting on an act. Is that really necessary?â
âI havenât finished my words yet. I mean, Rodneyâs current performance is either pretending, or he really loves you. Only you can figure out this question by yourself. I, an outsider, canât give you an answer.â
Amber glared at her. âI donât have time to figure this out. I have to hurry up and get pregnant in this week or so.â
âIn fact, sometimes I think that Rodney is a good person, but itâs very bad for him to have such a disgusting mother.â
âDonât mention it. As the saying goes, being bitten by a snake for ten years is like being afraid of a well. When I thought of the situation back then, I still felt a little flustered. Why did you say that I was so stupid back then? What about a single-minded person?â Amber couldnât believe his own eyes when he thought of the grievances he had suffered in the past.
âThatâs because you love him. When a woman is in love, her IQ is zero. Your heart belongs to him, so you naturally forget yourself. You only want to think for him, so you can also bear those tortures for him.â Noemi sighed. âAmber, do you really not love Rodney at all? Donât you love him at all?â
âI donât have time to think about this!â Amber replied.
âYou must think about this!â Noemi reminded him. âAmber, now itâs not just Melâs problem. If thereâs a problem with the second child, donât you want the two children to have no fatherly love?â
âAs long as Melâs illness is cured, I will consider finding a father for them.â
âThe love of your own father is completely different from the love of your step-father. Amber, if Rodney truly loves you, you can start over with him. Even if itâs for the sake of your child, you should think of him first. Of course, the premise is that he loves you and has no purpose.â
Amber was silent. Noemi was right. The love of her biological father was completely different from the love of her step-father.
Thinking of Melâs eager expression for her fatherâs love, her heart sank.
She hated Rodney, but when he told her the truth, she suddenly found that the way she dealt with things at that time was too extreme. She couldnât rule out the reason for her and Rodneyâs current situation.
When she saw Celia holding the pregnancy test sheet and telling her that she was pregnant and that she was Rodneyâs child, her heart was completely filled with anger and hatred.
Celiaâs mother seduced her father, and now Celia came to seduce her man. Amber could not accept it. The pain of being unable to get pregnant for a long time and the pain of being betrayed swallowed her heart. That was why she was so crazy and irrational.
As a result, after Rodneyâs lawyer had appeared with the divorce agreement and given such harsh conditions, she had signed the divorce without even considering it.
Generally speaking, couples would quarrel when they got divorced. However, she did not give a single word of explanation to him, nor did she need an explanation. Just like that, she was supported by hatred as she left him.
Over the years, the hurdle that she had always been unable to overcome in her heart was how could Rodney betray her.
However, the truth of the matter now might have been her fault for blaming him. If that was the case, then there was no need for her hatred and persistence back then.
Noemi was right. She should really think about her, Rodney, and the future of the child.
Noemi left after receiving a call from the TV station. Amber sat in the private room for a while before leaving. When he passed by the door of the private room where Kelsey had just entered, he heard a suppressed cry coming from inside. Amber stopped subconsciously. If she heard correctly, it was not only Kelsey who was crying inside, but Itzel was also crying. What happened?
Amber didnât want to eavesdrop and just felt that the crying inside was too strange. She didnât expect to hear Kelsey call Itzelâs mother. Amber was shocked and left the restaurant in a hurry.
On the way back, Amber had been muttering in his heart. She had often dealt with Itzel in the past and knew that she had always been single. It was really surprising for her to suddenly have a daughter.
Thinking of the relationship between Itzel and Reece, Amber was shocked. âIs Kelsey the daughter of Reece and Itzel? If so, isnât she Elliotâs half-sister?â
âShould I tell Elliot about this?â
