Chasing My Rejected Wife

Chapter 54

When he found out that Pierce was back, he was not happy at all.

“I’m not in the mood to work all day. That woman must be with Pierce now, right?”

What were they doing now? Were they watching movies, eating, or doing that kind of thing like an ordinary couple?

He couldn’t stand it. He grabbed his coat and left the company. He drove the car aimlessly to Amber’s house.

A car accident happened in front of them, and the road was crowded. Rodney sat in the car, feeling upset and waiting to be cleared.

“If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have brought you here. Look at so many cars and people…”

A familiar voice sounded beside his ear. Rodney looked over and saw Amber. She was not alone, but there was a handsome Pierce standing beside her.

Pierce held a child in his arms. The child had his back to him, so he couldn’t see the child’s appearance clearly. He saw Amber kiss the child.

He knew very well how much she wanted a child. His heart suddenly tightened and he stared blankly in the direction of Amber and Pierce.

The horn of the car shook the sky and woke him up. It turned out that the traffic police had come to deal with it. The traffic jam began to be cleared. Amber and Pierce walked past him with the child in their arms. He could see the happy smile on Amber’s face, but she could not see him at all.

“We are strangers! Is this the case?” An indescribable feeling occupied his heart, and he began to panic.

Rodney found a place to park his car. When he turned around, Pierce and Amber were already nowhere to be seen. For some reason, when he saw Pierce and Amber appearing together, he felt like he was suffocating.

This was the place that recorded Amber’s happiness. She had said that she would only share her happiness with him, but now she brought Pierce back. What did this mean?

She wanted to share her happiness and happiness with Pierce. She was furious. This woman was too hateful. He wanted to see how she would share her happiness and happiness with another man with her ex-husband around.

Rodney stopped his car and searched around the alley near Amber’s house for a while, but he didn’t see Amber and Pierce. He could clearly see that they were walking and holding a child. It was impossible for them to disappear so quickly.

He suddenly remembered that Amber loved the river behind her home the most, so he hurried to the river.

Amber took Pierce and Mel to the river bank. The development of South City was rapid, but the area where Amber lived had always been the same as it used to be more than ten years ago. Because of poverty, it was not polluted. The water in the river was clear, and the grass was green. Standing on the river bank, one could see that there were little maggots and small fish swimming inside.

“I used to catch fish here when I was young.” Amber stood by the river and looked at the river with some emotion. “At that time, my family was very poor, so I couldn’t afford delicious food. But I was greedy, so I came here to catch fish and eat. There was a time when it rained heavily on the upstream, and suddenly there was big water. I was swept away by the water at once. Fortunately, there was a big tree over there, so I didn’t get carried away because I caught the tree. Since such a thrilling thing happened, my uncle never allowed me to catch fish again.”

In her description, Pierce could imagine the thrilling moment at that time. He looked at Amber with distress. “You must have had a hard time at that time, right?”

“Yes, it’s very bitter, but very happy!” Amber replied, “Ever since my uncle didn’t allow me to catch fish, I often dreamed of catching fish. Now, I often dreamed of catching fish.”

Mel, who was standing by the side, was very excited. “Mom, I want to catch fish.”

Amber and Pierce looked at each other and smiled. “Yes!”

She took off her shoes and rolled up the river in front of Pierce. The cool river water and soft sand, after more than ten years, recalled her old dream again. Amber was a little emotional. “Today may be the last time I catch fish here!”

Mel didn’t know Amber’s feelings. She took off her shoes, rolled up her trouser legs, and followed him down the river. Holding a plastic bottle in her hand, she commanded Amber to help him catch small fish. Although she hadn’t caught fish for many years, she still had memories of the past. Amber soon caught a few small fish and put them in the bottle in Mel’s hand.

Mel was very happy. She raised the bottle to Pierce and said, “Uncle Pierce, you should catch the fish too!”

Seeing that they were so happy, Pierce was also tempted. So he took off his shoes, rolled up his pants, and joined in the fishing. Pierce had never known how to catch fish since he was a child. When he saw the fish swimming over, he and Mel reached out to touch it.

Of course, they couldn’t catch the slippery fish. Instead, they were covered in water.

Amber burst into laughter when he saw Pierce and Mel. When he saw the mud in the river, he thought of the scene when he and his friends wiped each other’s faces with mud when they were children.

Amber suddenly became playful. He grabbed a piece of mud and smeared it on Pierce’s face. Pierce was staring at the fish. He didn’t expect that Amber would sneak attack him, so he smeared the mud on his face. Mel laughed on the side. Amber naturally wouldn’t let him go. He grabbed a piece of mud and wiped Mel’s face.

“Mom, you’re a bad guy!” Mel couldn’t stand it anymore. She also grabbed the mud to wipe Amber’s face. Pierce helped him from the side, and Amber’s face was naturally covered with mud when he was attacked from both sides.

The three people’s faces were covered with mud and looked very ridiculous. “Mom, are we doing a facial mask now?” Mel asked innocently.

“Yes, we’re making face masks, natural mud masks!” Amber and Pierce looked at each other and laughed.

Rodney rushed to the small river and saw such a happy and harmonious scene. He felt disgusted and flustered. He strode toward them and was shocked when he saw Amber. “Why is he here?”

Pierce also saw Rodney. He reached out to hold Amber’s hand and told her not to panic. When he saw Pierce holding Amber’s hand, Rodney’s eyes darkened a little. “He is treating me like a dead man!” Anger was spreading in his chest. He really wanted to go forward and beat Pierce up. Pierce was beaten black and blue, and his face was swollen. He begged for mercy, which made him lose all his face in front of Amber.

However, this could only be done in his heart. He had no reason to beat up the man Pierce. Rodney walked over and stood by the river, looking at the three people in the river. “Mr. Hammond is in a good mood!” Although he took the initiative to say hello, his eyes were full of hostility.

Pierce turned a blind eye to his hostility. “Mr. Barron, are you here to inspect work?”

How could the inspection work run to the side of the river? Pierce’s words were not meant to be. How could Rodney not understand? “The scenery on both sides of the river is beautiful and suitable for living, especially for retirement. I’m going to build a house by the river. I’m here to see the terrain today.”

As he said this, he stared at Amber with burning eyes. In the past, Amber often snuggled in his arms and talked about his childhood. He often mentioned the river and said that he would build a house beside the river to live in retirement and catch fish for him to eat every day.

After a moment of panic, Amber calmed down. Mel’s face was covered with mud, and she couldn’t see her face clearly. What was she afraid of? Her eyes flashed with sarcasm. “I once thought of building a house by the river to retire, but now I find that it’s a fool’s idea.”

“You!” Rodney didn’t expect that she would easily conclude the past, so he was so angry that he couldn’t speak for a while.

Pierce took over Amber’s words. “You’ve always been stupid, but I like it.”

Listening to the two of them singing and Rodney’s anger, he sneered and said, “If Breanna knows that Mr. Hammond is playing with mud in South City, what will she think?”

“Mr. Barron, you worry too much. My grandma is old and has been focusing on enjoying her old age. She doesn’t ask about her children and grandchildren. But Mr. Barron, I heard that Mrs. Barron is very thoughtful and carefully chose a suitable fiancee for Mr. Barron. Recently, she has been accompanying her future daughter-in-law to arrange an engagement. Mr. Barron is so lucky to have such a mother!”

Rodney didn’t expect that Pierce would talk about this. He didn’t want to be engaged to Celia, but it was not the time to explain. Pierce was using this to slap his face. Rodney sneered and said, “President Tang, you are really sharp-tongued!”

“Mr. Barron is really good at praising people, but compared with Mr. Barron’s cold attitude, my sharp tongue is nothing!” Pierce retorted.

To think that Pierce would suddenly put on a high hat for him. He knew very well that he was standing up for Amber. Rodney sneered and said, “President Tang, you’re so affectionate. It’s a pity that you’ve used the wrong place. It’s a gentleman’s duty to think about a married woman’s behavior.”

“There are things that a gentleman should do and there are things that he should not do. I have to sit upright and not be afraid of being talked about by others. However, there are some people who say that one set is a set. They are full of benevolence, morality, and a belly full of men and women. There must be many people around Mr. Barron, right?”

“You!” Rodney was furious. Mr. Hammond used to be a famous debate genius. He had never lost in a debate.

“Isn’t he courting death by provoking me?” Mel naturally couldn’t see the undercurrent between the three adults. When he saw a big flower butterfly flying over on the grass, he went ashore with his short legs to chase after it. NôvelDrama.Org content.

Rodney’s attention had always been on Pierce and Amber, so he didn’t pay any attention to Mel at all. Amber was relieved to see Mel going ashore to chase after butterflies.

She reminded Pierce, “You’re wet. Let’s go ashore.”

Pierce nodded and took Amber’s hand to the shore. He put on his shoes and looked at Rodney provocatively. “Mr. Barron, don’t forget to send me a wedding invitation when you’re engaged. I’ll definitely come to ask for a wedding drink.”

Rodney remained silent. Amber was in a good mood as he watched Rodney suffer. “How could you be like this today, Mr. Barron?” She put on her shoes and saw Mel running far away. She reminded Tang

Yuecheng, “It’s almost noon. Let’s go eat.”

Naturally, Pierce agreed. When he walked past Rodney, he did not forget to mock him. “Mr. Barron, take your time to study the terrain. We won’t disturb you anymore.”

Rodney watched as the two of them swaggered past and caught up with Mel. Only then did he realize that his target earlier was Amber and Pierce. He had never paid attention to the child and watched the intimacy between the child and Pierce. Could this be the child that had suddenly appeared beside Pierce?

Previously, he had been paying attention to the news of Pierce for Amber, but when he didn’t see Amber, he suddenly saw on the media that Pierce had a child.

It was strange that Pierce did not get married, but had a child with him. The media had been digging out the origin of the child, but there had been no clues. The child seemed to have descended from the sky and appeared beside Pierce.

Later, the media speculated that the child was Pierce’s illegitimate child, but Pierce did not deny it. No one from the Hammond family came out to clarify.

When Rodney saw the news, he sneered. Didn’t Amber always think that Pierce was a gentleman? If he knew that Pierce had an illegitimate child, what would he think?

But now he found that he was wrong. Amber seemed to like the child beside Pierce very much. It seemed that she knew that this had happened a long time ago, and she had a good relationship with the child.

Sure enough, in her heart, there was no comparison between her and Pierce. She could accept that Pierce had an illegitimate child, but she couldn’t accept that she had another child. Thinking that she even sentenced him to death without even asking the reason, Rodney suddenly became very angry.
