Chapter 76
“Who cares about you? It’s not allowed to park in the small square!” Melanie said without thinking.
“Oh, I did say yesterday that I would follow you anywhere you go. Mela, have you forgotten it already?”
Roderick expressed what he wanted to say without answering her.
“You…
Indeed, he said so after they kissed in the car yesterday.
At that time, Melanie was dizzy due to the lack of oxygen in her brain.
“Mela, you are the mother of my children and my woman. I’ll be with you anywhere you go in the future. You can’t get rid of me. Mela.”
Melanie’s face blushed, and she almost burst out the words, “I didn’t agree to it.”
How could she say that?
Melanie became speechless, not daring to say anything else.
“Or do you want me to go upstairs? I can sleep on the couch in your office,” Roderick said in a negotiable tone.
“No way!” Melanie gritted her teeth and said, feeling annoyed.
“Mela.”
After a slight sigh and pause, he added, “Obviously, you like it, too.”
His words struck Melanie, and she leaped on her feet as if she had been pricked with a needle.
“What are you talking about? I won’t fall for you.”
“Heh.”
When she heard his charming chuckle on the other end of the phone. Melanie started to realize what she had said.

Immediately, she felt her face burning.
“Mela, well, I like it, and I like you too.”
Melanie’s heart pounded once more upon hearing this.
Even the phone she was holding nearly toppled to the ceiling.
She thought of his words “Obviously, you like it too.”
She thought, ‘He was talking nonsense.
‘How could I fall in love with a man who I had only spent one night with?
‘Never!
‘Ever!‘
What did he refer to by “Obviously, you like it too“?
Did he mean she liked being with him and getting intimate with him?
He was so presumptuous.
She decided not to forgive him.
Thinking of this, Melanie picked up the phone on the floor and wanted to send a message.
But she saw an unread message on the screen.
It turned out that it was from Roderick. [Mela, I’ll watch over you downstairs. Good night. I’ll leave early tomorrow morning.]
“Watch over me? Who told you to watch over me?” she uttered.
Melanie thought this man was being irrational because he stayed downstairs, refusing to go to sleep at the Lambert Manor.
Melanie wondered what kind of rumor would surface if reporters or those who arrived at the office the next morning saw him.
However, she really didn’t believe that the son of the Lambert family could stay downstairs all night.
She wouldn’t believe it.
He must be hoping to make her feel sorry for him with a pity party so that she would allow him to enter her place.
That must be it.
Melanie thought that Roderick would be gone in half an hour at the latest.
With the thought of watching the show, Melanie would go to the window to check on him every few minutes.
To her surprise, half an hour later, Roderick was still standing in front of his car.
Melanie lost it when she saw how composed he was.
‘Go ahead. I’ll see how long you can stay here. Stand there until dawn if you can. Humph?‘ Melanie thought and then went to bed with peace of mind.
Today she was just too tired. Despite taking a quick nap in the car, she felt a little exhausted today due to her mood swings.
Melanie dozed off quickly and slept till dawn.
The alarm clock went off, waking her at half past six in the morning.
Melanie washed her face, brushed her teeth, and made a cup of Lavazza coffee sent by Jennifer. Then she remembered Roderick came here last night.
“He must have gone home to sleep because he couldn’t stand it,” she sneered as she walked to the window, holding the coffee. “What he said…”
She cast a hopeless glance downstairs.
She nearly dropped the coffee cup out of surprise.
A man stood by the car door in the small square in the twilight of dawn.
The man in black was looking in her direction, like a statue.
From so far away, Melanie seemed to be able to see a gentle light in his brown
eyes.
“Oh, my goodness. Did he really stand there all night?” Melanie cried out in
disbelief.
She thought, ‘Is he even human?‘
‘I can’t believe someone like that exists.
‘It seems that he suffers from both physical and mental problems. He is paranoid.
There were more and more cars on the road, and the light was growing brighter.
At Rising Star, the day began with the arrival of the security guards and cleaning
crew.
Three opulent cars in this tiny square had passersby chatting among themselves.
Melanie could not remain composed after seeing this scene. She quickly grabbed her phone and made a call.
“Roderick, what are you doing? Get out of here now!” Melanie shouted angrily into her phone.
But Roderick ignored her impatience, and his chuckling was as if dew was dripping from a leaf in the morning. “Heh, Mela. Did you sleep well?”
Melanie was stunned.
This sentence made her feelings of guilt and rage, discontent, and the desire to severely reprimand him all vanish.
“Go home and take good care of Ethan and Elias,” she uttered.
“Okay, I’ll go back if you want me to.”
Roderick chuckled obediently and emphasized, “I’ll come over tonight.”
Melanie felt lovely, but she was at a loss for words.
No woman disliked being pursued and adored.
Melanie was no exception, even though she had always felt superior.
Three luxury cars drove away.
Melanie looked in the direction where the cars left and took a deep breath.
What should she do with this man?
She grew on Roderick as time went by. She liked his voice and the way he talked.
However, he was the same person who slept with her back then.
Over the years, she often thought about what her children’s father would be like.
Could he be a scumbag who betrayed his wife and family, a shameless man who would hurt his own daughter like her father did?
Or was he a playboy who had frequently visited brothels?
Melanie always felt guilty about the deal she had made when she considered that possibility.
Countless times, she pondered whether she ought to have chosen death rather than doing such a ridiculous thing.
She was relieved as her three kids‘ father turned out to be so excellent; meanwhile, she felt even more flustered.
Yes, a normal person would understand how fortunate they were to marry into the Lambert family.

Even Angie knew that Roderick was a good catch.
How could Melanie not know?
“Hey, Melanie, what’s bothering you? Just take your first meeting as your destiny,” Angie whispered to her at the gate of Kdeal Police Station that day.
Destiny?
Indeed, Roderick and she seemed to be destined for each other. That evening, his men just so happened to be the ones who saved her.
Roderick happened to be set up that evening as well. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.
Was it really doomed?
Melanie sighed.
Suddenly, there was a knock at the door.
13-15 Tue, 19 Mar
Melanie wondered who had come to her office so early.
