Chasing My Rejected Wife

Chapter 154

Rachel was calling Rodney, and Rodney was also calling Rachel.

He had already thought it through very clearly. Amber was unwilling to let him reconcile with Mel and why he was engaged to him again. On the one hand, it was a misunderstanding. He thought that he was still entangled with Celia. On the other hand, it was because of Rachel’s attitude toward her.

On Celia’s side, he could use his actions to prove that he would never have any contact with her. As for Rachel, he thought that she could change her attitude toward Amber.

Back then, the main reason why Rachel had treated Amber harshly and made things difficult for him was that Amber could not give birth to children. Now that Amber had given birth to a son for the Barron family, the Barron family would have a successor. Rachel should no longer make things difficult for her.

Thinking of this, Rodney picked up the phone and called Rachel. Unexpectedly, Rachel was also calling him. Rachel’s mobile phone couldn’t be connected. Rodney chose to call her. It was Riya who answered the phone.

“Is it Mr. Barron? You finally made a call. Madam can’t get in touch with you. She’s in a hurry! Wait a minute, I’ll call her.”

“Okay.” Rodney knew that Rachel would be anxious, so he didn’t say hello to her before coming to the US in a hurry. He was in a bad mood these days, so he didn’t pay attention to Rachel even if she called him many times.

After a while, Rachel’s anxious voice came from the phone. “Rodney, why didn’t you listen to my call? Deon said that you went to America and didn’t tell me. Why did you go there? You…”

“Mom, I have something to tell you.” She didn’t want to listen to Rachel’s long-winded words anymore. Rodney interrupted her and said directly, “Mel is my biological son. You are a grandma.”

There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the line. Then, Rachel raised her voice by eight degrees. “What did you say? You lied to me just to get married to Amber, didn’t you?”

Rodney was both angry and amused. It was not surprising that Rachel would suspect him. She had always been opposed to his reunion with Amber. It was hard to say if she would think that he was deliberately lying to her.

“Mom, I didn’t lie to you. It’s true. If you don’t believe me, I can swear with my life. If I lie to you, when I go back, the plane will…”

“All right, all right, I believe it!” Rachel hurriedly interrupted him. “What’s going on? Didn’t Amber say that she gave birth to the child with someone else? How could it be yours?”

“She lied to me on purpose. She didn’t want me to know that Mel is my son.”

“Then why does she want to tell you now?”

Rodney said, “Mom, it’s hard to explain. I’ll tell you later. Now I just want to ask you, Mel is the son of me and Amber. Will you still object to my marriage with Amber?”

“Well…” Rachel felt uncomfortable when she thought of Amber’s bad attitude toward her these days. She really didn’t want to live under the same roof as her.

Besides, Celia and Rodney were already together. If she succeeded, she would have another grandson, and Rodney would have no choice but to marry Celia. Between Celia and Amber, she hoped that Celia could become her daughter-in-law.

She deliberately said, “Didn’t Amber go to the United States and refuse to get married to you?”

Rodney said, “As long as you treat her well in the future, she will get married to me again.”

“Let’s talk about this later. You can bring Mel back first! He is a descendant of our Barron family. You have to hurry up and return to your ancestral roots.” Rachel had more or less some doubts in her heart. She was very clear about Rodney’s character. He could do anything for Amber. If he really lied to her for the sake of Amber’s second marriage, wouldn’t it be a waste of happiness? Only by bringing Mel back to our country and letting the father and son do a DNA test could she be completely relieved.

However, Rodney was very stubborn. “Mel, I will definitely take her back, but you must promise me that you will treat Amber well. Otherwise, Amber will not be willing to let me reconcile with Mel, nor will he be willing to get married to me again.”

“What? She refused to let Mel recognize you?” Rachel was annoyed. “Mel is the blood of our Barron family. Why not let him recognize you? I’ll go to America right away and help you get Mel back!”

“Mom, aren’t you making trouble? I can handle this myself. Please don’t come over, or you will annoy Amber. She will take Mel to another place, and I will never find them again. That way, you won’t be able to see your grandson again.”

“Okay, okay, okay, I won’t go, okay? But you must bring Mel back for me. Our grandson can’t be surnamed by anyone else. Do you hear me?”

“All right, I won’t talk to you anymore. That’s it.” After that, Rodney pressed the end button hard. He should not have called Rachel. His mother was so unreasonable. At this time, she still wanted to use her tough means to deal with Amber and Mel. It seemed that it was better to persuade Amber by herself!

After hanging up the phone, Rachel still felt upset. This news was too exciting! A grandson suddenly appeared, and it was Amber, whom she had always thought had no children. What should she do? She was a little at a loss.

On second thought, she suddenly became happy. She had a grandson! The Barron family had a future…

However, it still needed to be confirmed whether the child was his son’s son or not.

“No! I’d better go and have a look myself. I can’t rely on Amber alone to say that my son’s love for Amber is likely to be deceived by her. I’d better go and have a look in person. If the beautiful child beside Amber is really my grandson, I’ll bring him back without hesitation and keep him by my side. On the other hand, I won’t let my son be the scapegoat.” Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

…

Pierce was about to go to the company. On the way, he thought of the injured people in the hospital, so he turned to the hospital. What happened that night had already been called to the police. The police checked the scene for a while and found nothing suspicious. The nearby surveillance camera was destroyed again and could not find any evidence. The police left after learning about the situation in the hospital.

Pierce rushed to the hospital, but Kelsey, who was in the intensive care unit, still did not wake up. Pierce stood outside the door and looked at Kelsey, who was wearing an oxygen mask, through the glass door.

Who was going to deal with this young woman? Revenge? Murder?

If her relatives knew what she was like now, they would be very worried. Thinking of her and Amber’s similar faces, Pierce’s heart was a little heavy. He asked the driver to hire two guards to take care of Kelsey, and he left the hospital.

“Hey, son, where are you?” Rachel couldn’t wait to call Rodney as soon as she got off the plane.

“Mom, you’ve also come to the United States?” Rodney was very surprised.

“Of course, it’s such a big thing! How can I not come! Tell me where you are!”

Rodney smiled bitterly. His mother was still so impatient, but this matter was not as simple as she thought. “Mom, you can stay in the hotel first. I’ll come and see you right away.”

When Rodney rushed to the hotel, Rachel had been waiting impatiently. “You alone? Where’s my grandson? Why didn’t you bring him here?”

“Mom, it’s not as easy as you think. I don’t know that there are still two relatives in Mel’s family. Amber didn’t tell him, and Amber is ready to marry Pierce.” He told her the details.

After hearing this, Rachel was very angry. “This woman wants to take my grandson to someone else’s house! How can this be? No, I can’t let my grandson treat others as relatives!”

“Mom, can I solve this matter by myself?” His relationship with Amber had become like this. He did not want Rachel to do anything extreme.

“You can’t solve this matter by yourself. I have to deal with it.” Rachel was unwilling to listen. “I have to see my grandson first!”

“Mel is sick, and you don’t have to be so reckless. Mel doesn’t know that we are his parents. Don’t always provoke him with your grandchildren.” Rodney frowned.

Rachel was not happy at all when she saw her son protecting Amber. It seemed that she had to do it herself. It was impossible to rely on her son. First of all, she had to confirm whether Mel was his son’s flesh and blood. When it was confirmed, she had an idea in her heart.

In the early morning of the next day, an uninvited guest, Rachel, came to the Pierce Residence. She came here alone to hide it from Rodney.

“I wonder why Mrs. Barron came all the way here?” Madam Hammond asked a servant to serve tea for Rachel. There was a smile on her face, but there was no warmth in her eyes.

She naturally knew who Rachel was. She had a bad temper and was snobbish. She was not easy to get along with. It was very clear that she already knew what had happened when she was asked to visit her in person.

“I’m here to see my grandson. Old Madame, why don’t you let my grandson come out?” Rachel’s words were very direct.

“Mrs. Barron, you must have made a mistake, right?”

“You’re right. Amber’s child is my grandson. Don’t tell me that Old Madame doesn’t know about it?” Rachel sneered. “Someone as penetrating as Old Madame wouldn’t be able to hide such a small secret from you, would she?”

The old lady chuckled and said, “I’m old. I don’t care about the children anymore.”

“Can’t you just ignore it? Are you just going to watch the young master of the Hammond family fool around with a divorced woman?” Rachel showed a look of disgust. “Amber is a woman that Rodney doesn’t want. Don’t you Hammond family feel uncomfortable?”

“I have different opinions from Mrs. Barron. I think Amber is a good child!” The old lady chuckled. “Of course, it’s normal that Mrs. Barron doesn’t like her. After all, it’s not a shame to tell others what happened that year…”

Rachel was stunned by his words and her face instantly lost its luster. Back then, when Rodney divorced, the matter of his mistress becoming the mistress was no longer a secret to Madam Hammond.

“Madam Dowager, why do you think President Pierce has to be entangled with a woman with a child when he is young and handsome? Is there something difficult to tell you that he wants to find a ready- made woman?” In order to save face, Rachel was a little rude.

The old lady had high self-restraint, so she didn’t say anything to her. However, her face became colder. Breanna, who was beside her, was unhappy. “I’ve long heard that Mrs. Barron is famous in the South City. Today, I see that you really live up to your reputation! But this is the Hammond family in the United States, not the Barron family in the South City. My grandmother and I are not Amber. Even if Mrs. Barron wants to act wildly here, she has to take a look at the place, right?”

Being scolded by a junior like this, Rachel instantly felt unhappy. She sneered and said, “What are the elders talking about? The Hammond family’s education is really eye-opening! How can the juniors talk about the elders?”

“I don’t know. When did Mrs. Barron become so educated?” Amber and Pierce appeared with Mel in their arms.

As soon as they entered the door, they heard the conversation and felt a little angry for no reason. Rachel was really arrogant. She used to treat them like that, but now she dared to make trouble in the Hammond family. Did she really think of herself as a nobody?
