Chapter 35

Melanie went straight to the house where Elias was.

The Lambert family was indeed nice to Elias.

Next to that house, a large amusement park had been built.

And there was a toy house full of toys.

Melanie was shocked.

Melanie wondered if Elias would be spoiled.

Melanie thought it was an indulgence without limits!

When Melanie walked into Elias’s bedroom, she saw Elias sleeping soundly. There was a contented smile on his ruddy face.

Melanie sat down on the edge of the bed, grabbed Elias‘ chubby little hand, and gave him a gentle kiss. She then put the blanket over Elias.

Suddenly, a figure approached the bed, which made Melanie nervous.

Melanie thought, ‘Looks like danger lurks everywhere in the manor of a rich. family. Fortunately, I’m here, otherwise, I may never know that someone wants to hurt my son here.‘

Melanie didn’t even see who it was. She threw a punch at the man directly.

Unexpectedly, the next second, Melanie’s hand was held by a big soft hand. She was then pulled into a strong chest.

The familiar husky voice sounded in Melanie’s ears. “Mela…

Melanie was stunned. She asked, “Why are you here?”

“I’ve been here all the time. You didn’t even look around when you came in. You only saw Elias.”

Roderick whispered that in Melanie’s ear and caused Melanie to shudder when his warm breath passed Melanie’s ear.

“Let go of me.”

Melanie struggled in an attempt to escape from Roderick’s arms, but she was held, tighter by Roderick’s arms.

“Mela, cool down and don’t wake up Elias.”

Melanie couldn’t cool down at all as Roderick’s breath kept passing her ear.

“Let go of me first.”

“It’s inconvenient for us to talk if I let go of you now. We may wake up Elias.”

Roderick continued, and his warm breath hit Melanie’s pores. Melanie felt itchy all

over.

Melanie couldn’t stand it anymore. She stepped on Roderick’s foot hard.

Melanie didn’t stop until Roderick let go of her with a wretched expression.

“Mela– You are cruel.”

Melanie pushed Roderick away fiercely and looked at Elias.

Seeing that Elias was still sleeping soundly, Melanie gave Elias a peck on the face and then left without looking back..

Melanie didn’t see that after she left, Roderick also leaned over and gave Elias a peck.

Roderick gave Elias a peck on the same place on Elias‘ face.

As Melanie walked along, she recalled the scene just now and felt angry.

Melanie touched her ears and found that they were still a bit hot. She blushed.

“Roderick is annoying. He uses me as a medicine! He can go to others for help if he craves contact. Why does he just come to pester me?”

Melanie didn’t see Angie when she arrived at the hall.

Melanie learned from a maid that Michael had sent Angie back.

Melanie thought, ‘No wonder she asked me to see Elias. She knew Roderick was there! I will get even with her when I

get back.

Melanie was still in anger. She then saw Roderick walking over.

“Mela– I can send you home.”

“No, I can go back by a taxi.”

Chapter 35

Melanie walked to the gate in anger.

Roderick didn’t argue with Melanie. Instead, he asked the driver to open the car door and wait there.

After waiting for a long time, Melanie didn’t even see a passerby, not to mention a taxi.

Melanie glanced angrily at Roderick who was watching her in the back seat of his car. Only then did she realize that it was hard to get a taxi in such a remote place.

Melanie had to get in the car after comparing the huge difference between walking and riding a car.

Roderick pursed his lips and looked at Melanie calmly.

Roderick then grabbed Melanie’s hand naturally and held it in his palm.

“Can’t you find someone else?” Melanie struggled and said angrily.

Roderick didn’t say anything. Melanie’s heart softened when she thought of Roderick’s disease and the fact that Roderick had been so nice to Elias and had taken good care of Elias.

Melanie thought, ‘Okay, forget it. Anyway, I won’t get pregnant because of that.'”

Nothing happened all the way. When they arrived at Rising Star, Roderick still didn’t let go of Melanie’s hand. “I send you upstairs.”

“You wish!”

Melanie shook off Roderick’s hand and continued, “Take good care of Elias.”

Seeing Melanie leave without looking back, Richard, who had been watching calmly, spoke.

“Mr. Lambert, there was a coldnese

in Ms. Robertson’s voice.”

Bill, who was standing aside, also spoke.

“After all, it has been seven years. She might have gotten married, or perhaps she has a boyfriend, or there could be someone special in her heart already.”

“What did you say?”

As soon as Roderick spoke, the atmosphere in the car got thick with tension.

“I didn’t say anything. It’s just nonsense,” Richard said in a hurry and started the

car.

“Bill!”

Bill raised his head and said, “Mr. Lambert, I’m talking nonsense just now.”

“Go and find out that man!”

“Yes, Mr. Lambert.”

Roderick passed his hand over his eyebrows.

Roderick never thought of the possibility that Melanie would have a boyfriend or a man she loved.

Roderick thought, ‘Is that why she’s so reluctant when I get close to her?‘

Jealousy surged through Roderick when he thought that Melanie might have been lying in someone else’s arms and smiling at that man.

Suddenly, Roderick’s phone rang.

Roderick cooled down when he saw who it was.

“What did you find out?”

“I haven’t found much. They are cautious and have safety precautions. It took me a lot of time and effort. Don’t forget what you promised me.”

“Okay, go ahead.”

‘She first arrived on Tranquilora Island. The island is very tightly guarded, almost the same as that of a small country.

“In addition, I found that she has been to many countries.

“By the way, that island is owned by a man from Zerivia. Decades ago, he immigrated to Rhodania and bought the island.”

“Is that all?”

“Yes, there are some powerful people erasing traces. It is difficult to find out more.”

“You are a capable hound, aren’t you?” Roderick snorted with a hint of irony.

“Mr. Lambert, it’s really hard to do this. In addition to this one, I perfectly finished

all the tasks you gave me before. You have to remember what you promised me last time.”

“200 million dollars. It’ll be in your bank account in half an hour.”

“Okay, thank you.”

“Bill, from today on, let Timothy follow her around the clock and report to you at any time.”

“Mr. Lambert, is it okay? It’s not good to be found.”

“Are you telling me what to do?”

Roderick’s cold voice made Bill shiver.

“I’ll inform Timothy right away.”

“Mr. Lambert, Carl and Damian have been resting for a while. Let them do that with Timothy. Carl and Damian are smart and sharp–eyed.”

“Okay.”
