Chasing My Rejected Wife

Chapter 52

Mel, who was beside her, was fast asleep. She even snored, but Amber couldn’t fall asleep. Although she tried her best not to think about it, her humiliated past would often appear in her mind.

She had been under a lot of pressure when she was with Rodney. He was handsome and rich, so how could he fall in love with a Cinderella like her? At first, she resisted him, but subconsciously refused to get close to him. Later, she was gradually moved by him and indulged in his tenderness.

She knew that Rachel did not like her. The first time she saw Amber, she saw her long face. She looked at her with picky eyes with disdain and said arrogantly, “How old are you? What does your parents do?”

From her expression and voice, Amber could tell that she was very dissatisfied. She looked at Rodney and suppressed the grievance in her heart, trying to make herself very polite to her.

She heard from Amber that Rachel’s face had grown longer after her mother passed away. “How could this be? Is it because it’s too hard?”

The implication was that she had a mother. Amber’s face suddenly changed. Rodney held her hand. “Mom, that’s superstition!”

Rachel snorted and expressed her dissatisfaction with her son’s protection of Amber. “She’s so thin. Can she give birth to a baby?”

Amber didn’t know how to answer her question. He could only remain silent or speak to Rodney. “Mom, it’s our first meeting. Why are you talking about this?”

Both sides were not very happy to see each other this time. When Rodney sent her back, she asked worriedly, Rodney, your mother doesn’t like me very much.”

“Don’t think too much about it. My mom has the same temper. She doesn’t have bad intentions.” Rodney comforted her.

A few days later, she saw in the cafe where she worked that Rodney had no evil intentions. At that time, Rachel and Celia were drinking coffee together. At that time, she was the one who gave them the coffee. Rachel’s words were very harsh. “Celia, you should know your own limits. As a pheasant, you should have the duty of being a pheasant. Don’t always think about being a golden phoenix. It’s unrealistic.”

It was obvious that she was scolding him. Amber only felt a burst of blood rushing to his head. Thinking of Rodney, she gritted her teeth and held back her anger. She took the tray and turned to leave.

A few days later, Rachel came to see her. She told Amber very clearly that she did not like Amber. She took a fancy to Celia as her daughter-in-law and wanted Amber to take the initiative to leave Rodney.

Amber looked at her aggressive look and felt extremely disgusted. She asked Rachel, “If Celia didn’t have a father like Channing, would she take a fancy to me as her daughter-in-law?” Rachel became angry because of her question. She rudely threw a check of 500,000 yuan in front of Amber and forced her to break up with him.

Amber really wanted to smash the check on her face, but she held back her anger and left.

When she returned home, she had proposed to break up with him. He begged her bitterly, but she was determined. Later, he was depressed and went to the bar to get drunk every day. Because he drank too much, his stomach bled and he was sent to the hospital.

Rachel’s heart finally softened. She reluctantly called Amber and asked him to go to the hospital. Seeing that Amber was holding her hand tightly and would not let her leave, Rachel saw that her son was finally not persistent and acquiesced to everything between Rodney and Amber.

However, what followed was her unwillingness. Ever since Amber and Rodney got married, she had started to make sarcastic remarks. She had even seen Celia after Amber and Rodney got married. Especially after Amber found out that she couldn’t give birth, she became even fiercer.

Amber was often forced to drink traditional Chinese medicine that was said to be able to cure stomach diseases. She would find some strange folk prescriptions for her to drink, and one day, she found a prescription that was said to be very effective in treating infertility. It turned out that she used white wine to soak in black ants.

It was said that she could get pregnant after drinking it. Amber saw that those dark things were disgusting to the extreme. She did not drink according to her request. Rachel shouted at her and told her to get out of here if she did not drink it. She did not want to stay in the latrine.

At first, Amber had tried his best to endure it, but his patience was limited. The psychological and physical pressure made her finally unable to stand it and quarrel with Rachel.

She had started to go against Rachel. There were several times when the two of them had gotten into a fight with Rodney. Rachel was particularly good at pretending. She had originally scolded Amber in a fit of anger, but when she saw her son, she immediately pretended to be bullied. She was looking for death and forced Rodney to divorce her.

Amber couldn’t take it anymore. She had a deep talk with Rodney. She said that she had taken enough traditional Chinese medicine and had done enough examinations. She didn’t want to drink anymore and go to the hospital for those examinations that gave her goosebumps.

The Barron family couldn’t live without a son. She didn’t blame him. It was better to break up.

A look of disbelief appeared on his face. He held her tightly in his arms and said, “Amber, don’t be silly. For me, children are not important. You are the only important person. I have enough for you!”

Women were fools who liked to listen to men’s vows. Once again, she gave in because of Rodney.

Because Rodney had finally made up his mind and had a deep talk with Rachel. He didn’t know what he had said to Rachel, but Rachel agreed to let them move away.

Without Rachel’s disturbance, her life would be much better. Amber would no longer have to endure the pain and mental torture of drinking traditional Chinese medicine. She and Rodney lived a peaceful life.

Probably because of her mood, she was pregnant. The moment she got the pregnancy diagnosis list, she was ecstatic and hurriedly called Rodney.

In the end, reality and imagination were completely different. Amber had never dreamed that Rodney would cheat.

He had found a mistress who knew how to give birth to a son, so he coaxed her with such words. It was ridiculous that she believed his words. Fortunately, Celia came to him in time.

She hated Celia, but after thinking about it, she was very grateful to her. If it weren’t for Celia, how could she know that Rodney was such a disgusting man? How could she witness the despicableness under his mask of hypocrisy?

Before he revealed the secret between him and Celia, he swore that he would love her forever and that everything about him was hers. However, when the lie was exposed, his ugliness and darkness were revealed. He couldn’t wait to divorce her and display his ruthlessness to the extreme. When he saw the lines on the divorce agreement, Amber really wanted to burst out laughing.

What a wonderful irony! There was a saying that when a man liked you, he would be a treasure. When he didn’t like you, he would be a grass. She never believed this sentence. Until now, she realized that

she was too stupid in the world. She signed the agreement without hesitation and wore the clothes Ashton bought for her without hesitation.

The next morning, Amber stared at the two panda eyes and went to the company. Looking at his dark circles, Elliot teased, “Where did you get the national treasure?”

Amber was not in the mood to joke with him. She started working in silence. Elliot had been stealing glances at her. How did he find out that this woman had a lot on her mind?

Was it because of Pierce? He had always known that Pierce missed a woman, but he didn’t know it was her. He didn’t know what kind of relationship she had with Pierce. He could definitely like Pierce, but what about her?

Amber’s personality wasn’t one of bashfulness. Elliot was certain that she didn’t have that kind of love for Pierce. Otherwise, based on the fact that Pierce had known her for so many years, with his gentleness, he would have already been able to change her.

Elliot, who knew that she was the woman Pierce liked, actually felt awkward. It was said that friends should not be married. He should quit when he knew that Pierce liked Amber. But it was not the case now. He found that he could not control his heart. This was the first time he could not control his heart since he was alive.

He knew very well what he wanted. He liked her, wanted to protect her, and give her enough warmth and love.

However, this woman didn’t care about him. Elliot knew that Amber wasn’t by his side. The image of his love for her had long been deeply rooted in her heart. Compared to Pierce, he had lost at all.

However, he did not want to give up because of this. As a man, he had to fight for everything he liked. Amber was his goal now.

From the way Amber looked at Casen’s choice, he could tell that she liked gentle men. During this period of time, he had tried to make himself gentle. It seemed that Amber’s attitude toward him had changed a little.

It seemed that all women liked gentle men. He had used the right method. In the past, he didn’t know that she was Pierce’s lover. He wanted to take his time and wait for it to come. But now it seemed that he couldn’t wait any longer. He had to do it as soon as possible.

He had already made it clear to Pierce that it was a fair competition. Since it was a fair competition, he must let Amber know that he liked her. He decided to officially confess to Amber.

Elliot was not a person wandering among flowers. He knew that women were emotional animals who liked romance. In order to please Amber, he booked a western restaurant, filled it with roses and balloons, and lit candles. He was ready to ask for love.

Amber didn’t know what Elliot was thinking at all. He only knew what Elliot wanted to do when he tricked him to the western restaurant. The flower, balloon, candlelight, and dinner in front of him reminded Amber of Rodney.

At that time, he had used this method to trap her. Now she looked back and found that she had been so stupid. Her experience proved that men’s vows were bullshit!

Amber reached out to pick up a rose and sniffed it. A mocking smile appeared on his face, but Elliot didn’t know what she was thinking. Seeing that Amber didn’t change his expression, he thought that there was a chance.

As a result, during the process of rehearsal, the lights suddenly dimmed, and the soothing music sounded. The candlelight flickered, and Elliot prepared his emotions. “Amber, be my girlfriend!”

Amber looked at him. “Why me?”

“I like you!”

“You like me?” Amber smiled playfully. “Don’t you dislike me as a divorced woman?”

“I’ve never disliked you.” Elliot clarified. “I just don’t want to give up. Why didn’t you meet me at the beginning? Why did you suffer such harm? But fortunately, I came. Amber, I like you! Be my girlfriend! You don’t need to work so hard with me. No matter what happens, I will respect you and won’t force you…”

A sneer cut through the air above the coffee shop, and then a sudden voice sounded. “Is Mr. Thomson acting?”
