Chapter 70
The people who came to eat tonight were all famous people in South City. Amber only knew a few people. Rodney and Kelsey sat by the window and saw Elliot and Amber coming in. Rodney glanced at them expressionlessly and then continued to talk to Kelsey.
Seeing that Elliot had brought Amber in, someone immediately teased him. “Mr. Thomson, are you happy?”
Elliot glared at him. “Boy, be polite. This is not a new lover, but a sister-in-law!”
“Sister-in-law?” Elliot’s words attracted everyone’s attention. Rodney was originally holding a cup of tea with a smile on his face, but when he heard this, his eyes darkened instantly. “Is Elliot serious?”
“Sister-in-law is really beautiful. Mr. Thomson is so lucky!” Someone praised.
“Of course. The woman I like must be both talented and beautiful.” Elliot was extremely pleased.
Amber glared at him, Elliot pulled out a chair. “Dear, sit down!”
Amber felt goosebumps all over his body, and there was a burst of laughter around him. “Mr. Thomson is always so considerate and gentle to women.”
Elliot reached out and patted the person who spoke. “You, are you trying to embarrass me? I’m telling you, from now on, I’m only gentle and considerate to a woman.”
As he spoke, he looked at Amber. Amber ignored him. The person beside him laughed. “Mr. Thomson, even Sister-in-law herself doesn’t believe your words, let alone others.”
“Time goes by. Will you believe it soon?”
“I only know that dogs can’t change their bad habits.” A man interrupted. Elliot glared at the man. “Wait and see.”
“I’m so scared, sister-in-law. I was just joking. Mr. Mr. Thomson is gentle and devoted to you. He’s only good to you. Don’t kick him out of bed because of my joke tonight.”
As soon as he said that, the whole audience burst into laughter. Elliot waved his fist at the man and said, “Boy, if you don’t talk, no one will treat you as a mute.”
“Mr. Thomson, please spare me! I’m just telling the truth!”
Amber couldn’t help laughing as he watched them play.
Rodney looked at her smile and felt really upset. What was the relationship between her and Elliot?
Did he really go to bed? Elliot was a famous playboy. If he didn’t go to bed, he wouldn’t be so considerate and attentive, would he?
When he thought of the relationship between Amber and Elliot, he felt as if needles were pricking his heart.
Amber picked up a shrimp with her chopsticks and picked it up for Kelsey. Seeing his action, Amber sneered in his heart. “Rodney is so considerate to the new lover.”
She also picked up her chopsticks and put some food on the plate in front of Elliot. Because of her action, Elliot was so excited that he started to dance with joy.
She immediately ate the food Amber picked up for him and smacked her lips. “It smells so good!”
A hint of gloom flashed across Rodney’s eyes. A person beside him looked at Elliot and happily suggested, “Sister-in-law, this is your first time here today. Why don’t you have a drink with Mr.
Thomson?”
“Okay, okay.” Immediately, someone echoed, “Bring me a glass of wine! Hurry up and get ready!”
The person who proposed immediately filled the cup with wine and placed it in front of Amber and Elliot. Elliot picked up the glass and said, “Dear, since we are all happy, you should give them some face.”
Rodney stopped eating and stared coldly at Amber and Rodney.
Amber didn’t want to cooperate, but when she saw the look in Rodney’s eyes, her anger rose. It was just a trick on the table. What was she afraid of? So she picked up the glass and drank a toast with Elliot.
Watching them drink their cross-cupped wine, everyone cheered. Someone immediately raised their glasses to Amber. “It’s our first time meeting. Let me propose a toast to my sister-in-law!”
Elliot stopped her. “You don’t have to play like this. Since you’re here to toast me, you should toast all the ladies at the table. Is that right?”
Everyone echoed. Mr. Mason, who was toasting, didn’t expect that he would be betrayed by Elliot, so he had to toast the ladies on the table one by one. When it was Kelsey’s turn, Rodney reached out to stop her. “Kelsey can’t drink!”
“Can’t drink?” Mr. Mason was stunned and immediately smiled evilly. “Is it possible?”
All the people at his table looked at Kelsey and Rodney. “Congratulations, Mr. Barron!”
Rodney didn’t explain and poured juice into the glass in front of Kelsey. Kelsey picked up the glass and clinked it with Mr. Mason.
Seeing this scene, Amber sneered in his heart. “What does this look like?”
If she knew that Kelsey had a child, Celia would definitely cry until she fainted in the bathroom.
Elliot didn’t know what Amber was thinking. He also picked up his wine glass from the table and said, “Amber, let’s congratulate Mr. Barron too!”
“Okay!” Amber replied to Elliot with a smile. He raised his glass at Rodney and Kelsey with a smile. “Congratulations, Mr. Barron!”
Rodney’s heart ached when he saw her smiling eyes. She didn’t care. She didn’t care at all when she found out that he had a child with another woman.
It could be seen that she really had no feelings for him. He picked up the glass bitterly and drank up all the wine.
Kelsey glanced at Rodney worriedly. “Don’t you have a bad stomach? Drink less.”
“I know what I’m doing,” Rodney replied with a smile.
Amber couldn’t accept their affection. She didn’t know why she felt so bad. Rodney had nothing to do with her. Why did she feel so bad?
Elliot also noticed that Amber looked pale. He gently touched her hand and asked, “What’s wrong?” All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Nothing.” Amber forced a smile.
“If you don’t feel well, I’ll send you back?” Elliot saw the reluctance in Amber’s eyes. She had always been a person who was not good at communicating. It was normal for her not to get used to such an occasion.
Mr. Mason had always been a person who refused to give up. Seeing Elliot’s concern for Amber, he immediately started to kick up a fuss. “I say, Childe Mr. Thomson, does sister-in-law also have one?”
His words made Rodney’s whole body tremble, and he looked at Amber.
Amber ignored the inquiry in his eyes. He smiled and did not deny it. “How did you know?”
“Really?” Mr. Mason laughed. “Wow, it’s a double joy tonight. Childe Mr. Thomson, I respect you and my sister-in-law!”
Elliot looked at Amber and thought that she would be unhappy. He didn’t expect her to be shy and not unhappy at all.
He laughed and said, “Okay! Let’s do it!”
When he saw Elliot laughing and drinking, Rodney’s expression became even more unsightly.
To be honest, he didn’t believe that Amber would get pregnant. But when he thought that she had a son so soon after the divorce, he immediately believed it.
Since she could have another man’s child, she could also have Elliot’s child.
His heart began to ache again. Why hadn’t she been pregnant for three years after she married him?
Why? Why did God make such a joke?
Rodney felt pain in his heart. Without saying a word, he picked up the wine glass and poured the wine. Kelsey, who was next to him, was shocked. “Don’t drink too much!”
As he spoke, he looked in Amber’s direction. Amber had a faint smile on his face as he looked at them like he was watching a joke.
It was said that those who were involved would be confused by the crowd. Kelsey knew very well why Rodney wanted to drink. It was because Amber had acquiesced to her pregnancy.
She was a woman and was more attentive than a man. If Amber was really pregnant, why did he drink just now?
It was obvious that her pregnancy was fake, and Rodney, who was next to her, believed it.
Looking at Rodney drinking, she felt bad and immediately said, “I don’t think Miss. Stone looks like she’s pregnant.”
“Is that so? How did Ms. Farrell know?” Amber sneered.
“If you were pregnant, why did you drink just now? pregnant women can’t drink.”
“Ms. Farrell, there’s something you don’t know. The pregnant doctor said that we can’t drink, but it doesn’t mean that we can’t drink. I’m not just touching my lips. You don’t have to worry about me.” Amber smiled faintly.
When Rodney heard this, he gulped down another glass of wine. Kelsey was extremely anxious to see him like this. “Miss. Stone, pregnancy is not a joke!”
“Dear, she doesn’t believe that I’m pregnant.” Amber looked at Elliot with a charming smile. “Tell her.”
Elliot didn’t know why Amber said that he was pregnant. He only knew that what Amber said was right, so he raised his eyebrows and said, “Ms. Farrell, are you doubting my ability? Look at my body. Although it’s not perfect, I still have the ability to make Amber pregnant.”
Rodney’s face turned blue and purple in an instant. He reached out to grab the bottle again. Kelsey held his hand tightly to prevent him from pouring the wine.
The people around laughed and said, “Ms. Farrell, how much do you care about Mr. Barron! With such a beautiful and considerate woman as your bosom friend, Mr. Barron is worth it even if he dies.”
Hearing these teasing words, Amber was so depressed that he got up and left the box without saying a word.
Standing outside and looking up at the starry sky, Amber couldn’t see a star on the dark sky. His heart was as dark and uncomfortable as the sky.
Amber hated himself very much as he heard the footsteps behind him and smelled the familiar scent.
Why did she know who was standing behind her without looking back?
A hoarse and low voice sounded. “Are you really pregnant?”
“Does it have anything to do with you?”
“Elliot is not a good person you can rely on!”
Rodney had not only said such words to Amber once, but he had never heard such harsh words in his ears. “Mr. Barron, you are also a famous person. Don’t you feel ashamed to slander someone behind your back?”
“I’m not slandering him. I’m just telling the truth. The Mr. Thomson family won’t let you be with him!”
“You’re right. The Mr. Thomson family won’t let me be with him, but there are exceptions.” Amber’s hand gently touched his belly.
This action of hers was undoubtedly telling Rodney that she was indeed pregnant. She wanted to rely on the mother in her belly to get a son.
Rodney felt extremely uncomfortable. The wine he had just drunk surged up and stimulated his nerves.
He grabbed Amber’s hand. “You… you’re really pregnant?”
“Let go!” Amber shook off his hand in disgust.
“Tell me, isn’t it?” Rodney’s grip was very tight.
“Why should I tell you who you are?” Amber looked at him provocatively and smiled.
The smile in her eyes stimulated Rodney’s nerves. He pulled Amber into his arms, held her tightly in his arms, and kissed her fiercely.
How could Amber allow Rodney to kiss her? She felt disgusted at the thought of everything between Rodney and Kelsey.
So she struggled desperately, trying not to let Rodney succeed. Rodney was already crazy. He pressed her against the wall and kissed her.
“It’s too dirty! It’s fucking disgusting!” Amber kicked him hard in the leg. While Rodney was hesitating in pain, Amber bit his lips without hesitation.
Rodney loosened his grip and she immediately turned to run. A waiter behind her pushed a dining car over.
Looking at the steaming hot soup on the dining car, Rodney was shocked. It would be amazing if Amber ran into it.
Ignoring the pain, he immediately reached out to grab Amber. Amber was controlled by him. She didn’t know that she was about to hit the dining car. She thought that Rodney wanted to force her, so she punched him hard in the fac
