Chapter 33


    “No, it’s just an ordinary brooch.”


    Geoffrey looked serious.


    “If you don’t believe me, ask them. It’s worthless at all. Roderick is your boyfriend. It’s his part to


    give you some valuable gifts. This is just an ordinary gift.”


    Roderick pressed his lips and nodded calmly.


    “M, you can wear this ordinary one first. I’ll get a better one for youter.”


    The old servant standing aside was also stunned when he heard that, but he immediately nodded


    repeatedly.


    “Yes, Ms. Robertson. If you don’t take it, I’m afraid that Mr. Geoffrey Lambert won’t be able to fall


    asleep tonight. What if his old disease rpse?”


    Hearing that, Geoffrey hurriedly bent his neck and shoulder a little and even coughed twice, looking


    weak.


    “Yes, that is right. Mnie, don’t you like the gift I gave you?”


    Mnie regretted what she said just now.


    Mnie thought, ‘I didn’t have to say it is too valuable just now, did I? It is enough if I just say I can’t


    take it, isn’t it?”


    At first nce, Mnie could tell that the brooch was a valuable thing that had been well–


    conserved.


    Even though she was not an authoritative expert, Mnie could tell that the brooch had a long


    history.


    Meanwhile, Mnie could tell that Geoffrey wanted her to take the gift.


    While Mnie was hesitating, Roderick had already walked to her with the brooch in his hand.


    “M– I’ll help you put it on.


    Mnie looked down and saw that the business suit she was wearing was a little fashionable with


    an open neckline.

    Mnie hurriedly waved her hand and said, “No need. I won’t wear it for now. It


    doesn’t match well with this business suit. I will wear it myselfter.”


    Mnie thought, ‘Don’t be joking. How can I let him help me put it on? He may identally touch


    my breast. That is not what I want.


    ‘Forget it. I’d better take it first.


    ‘I can find a chance to return itter or give him a gift of simr value.‘


    But Roderick seemed to be a little dejected after his request was rejected.


    “Then put it away. I’ll take you to buy clothes tomorrow.”


    Mnie didn’t dare to say anything. She quickly put the brooch in the box and put


    it away.


    “Thank you, Mr. Geoffrey Lambert!”


    “You’re wee. We are a family.”


    Geoffrey nodded with satisfaction.


    “Just stay here for lunch today. It is noisy in Roderick’s house. I’m afraid that you. two can’t have a


    quiet environment to get along with each other there.”


    Mnie wanted to go to see Elias. But before she could say anything, Roderick grabbed her arm.


    “Elias has someone to take care of him.”


    Geoffrey also said, “Mnie, Elias is already a big boy. You are a good mother and must have


    taught him a lot of knowledge about life over the years. Our Lambert family owes you a lot.”


    Hearing that, Mnie didn’t know how to answer it for a moment.


    Geoffrey continued, “I don’t know how long I can live. Just stay aspany for an old lonely man.”


    Sensing the mncholy in Geoffrey’s tone, Mnieforted him and said, “Mr. Lambert, you are


    hale and hearty now. Just enjoy the life.”


    Geoffrey beamed with a smile after he heard that.


    “I love to hear that. I should enjoy life. I’m happy whenever I think of the truth that Roderick has a


    child now.”

    Looking at the happiness that glimmered in Geoffrey’s bleared eyes, Mnie was lost in her


    thoughts again.


    Mnie thought, ‘Well, actually, you have three grandchildren.


    ‘But I’m afraid that you’ll never see the rest two.


    Just as Mnie was thinking, Roderick suddenly whispered in her ear, you thinking of? When are


    you going to have a daughter with me?”


    “What are


    Hearing this, Mnie was embarrassed. She grabbed Roderick’s arm and pinched it. Sh


    said, “You talk nonsense again.”


    But Roderick’s muscles were hard, which made Mnie’s hand hurt. Roderick didn’t get any pain


    though Mnie pinched his arm hard.


    Geoffrey also saw it. He thought they were flirting with each other.


    Mnie could only cast a re at Roderick when she realized that the pinch didn’t. work at all.


    But when Mnie saw Roderick staring at him with a smile on his face, she couldn’t help blushing.


    During the lunch, Roderick kept ttering Mnie. He rmended food to her and poured water


    for her as if Mnie were a child.


    After lunch, they drank coffee together. After that, Geoffrey went to take a lunch. break. Only then


    did Mnie get the chance to leave.


    As soon as Mnie walked out of the door, Roderick held her hand.


    “What’s wrong with you? You had been holding my hand all morning. Isn’t it enough?” Mnie


    asked angrily,


    “Not enough.” Roderick took it for granted.


    Mnie frowned and pondered over something.


    In the past years, after Mnie suffered from temporary blindness, she began to care about some


    strange diseases.


    “Do you have skin hunger and crave contact?”


    Roderick was stunned/for a moment and then nodded again.


    “That’s it. Your disease is very troublesome.


    “But it’s easy to get rid of it. Just keep in touch with others. Ask your sisters and mommy to hug you


    more.”


    As Mnie said that, she didn’t reject him holding her hand.


    Mnie thought it was most likely because of Roderick that her eyes recovered so quickly before.


    Now that Roderick suffered from a disease that he couldn’t talk about to others, she thought she


    had better let him hold her hand for a while. longer.


    Mnie thought, ‘Anyway, I won’t get pregnant because of that.”


    Thinking of this, Mnie rxed a lot and didn’t feel embarrassed.


    Mnie just let Roderick hold her hand. They walked to the building where Jennifer was.


    Mnie didn’t see Elias


    but saw Angie talking with a chestnut–haired man after walking into the building.


    Jennifer smiled when she saw Mnie and Rodericking in hand in hand.


    “Mnie, I just made some coffee. Come and have a try.”


    Mnie hurriedly shook off Roderick’s hand and whispered to Roderick, “Go hug your mother. It will


    be better for your disease.”


    But Roderick put his hands in his pants pockets and went to sit on the sofa.


    Mnie had been led to a table aside by Jennifer where the coffee was served.


    Mnie took a sip of the coffee. The sweetness and unique vor intrigued her senses. She


    couldn’t help but take a few more sips.


    Jennifer was happy when she found out that Mnie liked it. She told Mnie that it was made by


    her daughter’s coffee factory. She turned around and asked the servant to prepare a truckload of


    packaged coffee for Mnie.


    Upon hearing that, Mnie hurriedly put down the cup in her hand.


    Unexpectedly, as soon as Mnie put


    led her to another room. Jennifer down the cup, Jennifer held her hand and


    said that she had something to talk to her.


    On Zander’s ind in Rhodania, the Thomas family was one of the richest


    families.


    Gardens were everywhere there, looking beautiful.


    Mnie didn’t expect that the master bedroom of the Lambert family would be so luxurious.


    The living room was filled with valuables, each of them exceedingly exquisite.


    Jennifer opened the cab door and took out a box equipped with a lock that could only be


    unlocked with passwords.


    Looking at this scene, Mnie immediately thought of the brooch given to her by Geoffrey. She


    couldn’t sit still anymore. She stood up immediately.


    “Mrs. Lambert, I’d better go to see Elias now.”
