Chapter 60

Melanie decided to completely ignore Roderick. She closed the door and went to sleep.

This mansion was not as good as the residence of the Lambert family, where, everyone had a single house.

But there were enough spare rooms for guests.

Because of Melanie’s intermittent insomnia, her bedroom was on the first floor.

Once Melanie closed the bedroom door, she could hear nothing upstairs.

Melanie was still resentful. He thought, ‘Well, I’ll leave the babies to him tonight.

‘Doesn’t he like babysitting very much anyway? Well, take care of them until you’re bored.’

Thinking that Angie hadn’t come back yet, Melanie was a little bit confused.

Melanie thought, ‘Is it really so much fun hanging out with Michael? Do they have that much to talk about?‘

At that moment, Angie happened to send her a message. Melanie immediately became furious.

Angie: [Melanie, I won’t be back tonight. I hope you and my cousin–in–law will get along well with each other. Have a nice evening.]

Melanie thought, ‘What is this nasty girl talking about?

‘What cousin–in–law? Get along with him?”

Melanie was furious when she thought about Angie’s expression when Angie betrayed her.

She immediately called Angie but Angie’s phone had already been turned off.

Melanie shouted, “My goodness! What kind of people are they?”

Melanie threw her phone aside furiously.

Somehow, Melanie couldn’t fall asleep tonight.

Chapter 60

Melanie got up and turned off the light. She kept her eyes wide open and could not fall sleepy at all.

It was already 11 o’clock at night. Melanie listened silently with her ears pricking up for a while and found it was dead silence outside her room and upstairs!

Melanie muttered, “Gary must have arranged a room for him, right?”

Melanie’s mind was full of Roderick’s face.

She rolled over a few times and murmured, “I wonder if he’s asleep now? It’s late. He must have fallen asleep.”

Thinking about Roderick, Melanie blushed and felt her heart beating faster.

In the past years, what happened on that night seven years ago flashed through her mind from time to time so her memories about it become even clearer and clearer.

Melanie used to think that she would never see Roderick again.

Melanie never expected that after so long a time, she would be sleeping in the same house as him!

Melanie sighed, “Life is full of surprises!” Finally, she drifted into sleep.

After a while, in her dream, Melanie seemed to hear a fight in the hall.

At first, Melanie thought it was Roy and Sam. She thought they were deprived of sleep and were having a competence.

“Why don’t you go to the practice room if you really can’t fall asleep?” Melanie. murmured. She rolled over and fell asleep.

Suddenly, Melanie heard some loud bangs among the sound of the fight.

Melanie woke up immediately.

Bang!

She heard another one.

Melanie was familiar with this kind of sound.

Chapter 60

It was the dull sound of a violent collision of strong muscles!

Melanie shouted, “Why did Roy and Sam suddenly become crazy in the middle of the night? Do they have to do it so fiercely?”

Melanie couldn’t fall asleep at all now. She had to sit up and complain about them!

Melanie put on a homewear jacket, planning to find out what was going on.

When she walked to the hall, she saw Darrin confronting the two men in black! Melanie cried, “Darrin?”

Darrin was dressed in black too. His tired and stubborn look slightly showed his anger!

Melanie said, “Darrin, it’s really you! You’re back!”

Melanie rubbed her eyes and walked closer to Darrin.

Darrin answered in a deep voice, lowering his head slightly, “Ms. Robertson! Sorry that I’m too late!”

Melanie asked, “You don’t have to say sorry. Did you come back overnight? Have you eaten anything yet? Are you hungry? I’ll ask Gary to make some noodles for you!”

Melanie didn’t notice Roderick’s angry face at all.

Darrin still replied respectfully, “Thanks but no need, Ms. Robertson!”

Roderick, sitting on the sofa in front of Darrin, clearly saw that when Darrin raised his head slightly to look at Melanie’s face, Darrin looked a bit wistful before he lowered his head again.

Melanie said, “Well, okay. Make something to eat for yourself when you’re hungry.”

As Melanie spoke, she just looked up.

Roderick was sitting on the sofa in the middle of the hall. His face was sullen and his eyes were dull, making it difficult for other people to figure out what he was thinking about.

Two tall men in black stood at Roderick’s sides. Based on their muscles, they were well–trained and strong.

Melanie asked, “Did you have a physical fight just now?”

Melanie glanced at Roderick as she spoke.

Melanie introduced Darrin to Roderick. “This is Darrin. You’ve seen him before. You should be friends. Don’t do that again!”

Then she glanced at Darrin.

Melanie said to Darrin, “Go back to sleep. He is Ethan’s father. It’s safe with them!”

Hearing this, Darrin glanced at Roderick coldly and left without saying a word.

Roderick raised his hand and the two men in black beside him turned around and left silently and mysteriously as if they were ghosts.

When Melanie was about to go back to sleep, she was surprised to hear Roderick’s magical, mellow, and deep voice again.

Roderick asked, “Why is he here?”

Melanie raised her head in surprise and asked in confusion, “What?”

Roderick asked again, “Does he live here?”

His voice somehow sounded a little bit colder.

Only then did Melanie realize that Roderick was talking about Darrin.

Melanie replied, “Yes, he is one of the Thomas family. Where is he supposed to live if not here?

“Don’t you think you have gone too far tonight? How could you get your men to have a fight with Darrin just right after he came back after an exhausting journey?”

Roderick said coldly, “Ask him to leave!”

Melanie suspected that she was only having an allusion.

Melanie said, “What? What did you say?”

Roderick stared at Melanie looking angry.

Roderick said, “Ask him to leave here!”

Chapter 60

This time, Melanie confirmed that Roderick had asked her to make Darrin leave.

Melanie thought, “Who does he think he is? The owner of this house?’

Melanie said, “What? Mr. Lambert, have you forgotten who you are?”

She was so angry that he got more and more audacious!

Only then did Melanie notice that Roderick was still wearing a suit, sitting upright on the sofa. It didn’t seem that he had been sleeping at all.

Melanie snorted in her mind, ‘What’s wrong with this man?”

The clock in the hall chimed. It was already 2:00 a.m.!

Melanie wondered why Roderick was sitting on the couch in the middle of the night instead of sleeping.

Melanie wondered if it was because Gary didn’t arrange a room for him.
