Chapter 42
“Enzo, did you say that Ethan was missing?” Melanie said.
Hearing this, Angie frowned.
But soon she seemed to figure something out. She pursed her lips and smiled.
Luckily, Melanie couldn’t see it. Otherwise, Angie would have been beaten up.
“No, but yes.”
Enzo was incoherent in a panic on the phone.
Enzo said, “As soon as the auction was over, Ethan disappeared. He even left me a note saying that he would go to Zerivia to find you.”
“What? Ethan came to Zerivia?” Melanie asked.
What Melanie was most afraid of was that Ethan came to Zerivia. Now Elias hadn’t been sent back yet, and she didn’t know what would happen if Ethan came.
Enzo was still explaining on the other end of the phone.
“I originally wanted to get Ethan back, but he dumped me.”
Melanie hurriedly called Stanley and felt relieved when she learned that Stanley was still by Edward’s side.
Then she arranged for Roy and Sam to go to Solustria immediately. After finding Ethan, they would send him back to the island immediately.
Seeing Melanie panicked, Angie couldn’t help frowning.
“Melanie, don’t be so nervous. Ethan has been following Eric since childhood and is even more sly than Eric. He must have missed you so much that he came here.”
Melanie shouted and began to cry.
“Are you going to give Ethan to the Lambert family? They have already taken Elias away from me!?”
Seeing this, Angie pulled over and comforted her softly.

“Melanie, Roderick is the father of the children. His blood relationship with them can’t be broken in any way.”
Angie added, “Melanie, it’s time to move on.
“Now the Robertson family has been punished. If you are not satisfied, let them all die.
“But, don’t refuse those who treat you well, okay?”
Melanie burst into tears.
Actually, she was not happy these days.
Seeing the Robertson family being punished by the public, she didn’t feel as happy as expected. Instead, she felt even sadder.
She kept thinking that if she hadn’t allowed Tracy and Vanessa to join the Robertson family, maybe nothing would have happened seven years ago.
Or maybe she’d been smarter, and her mother wouldn’t have died that early.
Not so much hated Vanessa, Tracy, and Roderick, as Melanie couldn’t forgive herself.
Angie continued, “Melanie, everything will pass.
“If it hadn’t been for what happened seven years ago, there wouldn’t have been so many cute kids.
“And Roderick. Maybe God wanted to make you two meet each other. I can tell. that he likes you very much.”
Melanie listened silently, and her tears stopped flowing.
Suddenly, Melanie’s phone rang.
Angie looked at the number and smiled weirdly.
Before Melanie could react, Angie pressed the answer button and put the phone.
on Melanie’s ear.
“Mela…” Roderick said.
Roderick’s voice made her heart skip a beat for a moment.
Melanie trembled and threw the phone away.
Angie smiled, picked up the phone and shouted.
“Cousin–in–law, come here. We’ll be waiting for you on XXX Road.”
Melanie was at a loss.
Melanie said, “Angie, what are you talking about? Let’s go.”
Angie directly lay in the car, as if she wouldn’t move.
“I’m tired. After driving for so long and talking so much, I need to have a rest.
Soon, two luxury cars stopped one after another.
Angie smiled more happily and jumped out of the car.
With a bang, the door closed again.
A familiar fragrance filled the space, and Melanie knew it was Roderick.
Roderick hugged her and held her tightly in his arms as if to be embedded in his rib.
“Mela…
“Don’t be afraid,” Roderick said in a low voice.
He gently smoothed the hair around her ears, stroked her eyes with his cold fingers, and kissed her.
Melanie blinked and felt strange when she saw the man’s handsome eyes.
Like so many times, his voice awakened her from the nightmare and he made her see the light again.
Melanie thought, ‘Did all this really come from destiny?‘
Melanie looked at the man in front of her dumbfoundedly and couldn’t help but stroke his face with one hand.
“It doesn’t matter,” she said.
Thu, 14 Mar
She remembered the last time he said “I’m sorry” to her.
If it was all God’s will, maybe she should say “It doesn’t matter.
Melanie thought, ‘Angie was right. Everything was my choice back then.
‘He saved my life and gave my three cute and smart sons.”
Surprise flashed in Roderick’s eyes. “Mela…”
Melanie looked at Roderick in front of her with a solemn face.
She said, “For the sake of Elias, let’s get along well with each other in the future.”
Roderick’s look changed. “Get along? How?”
“As friends. Anyway, you are the father of Elias. That won’t change.”
“Okay.”
Roderick readily agreed.
He thought, I don’t just want to be friends, stupid woman.
Thinking of this, he looked at Melanie with cunning eyes.
“I’ll take you home.”
