Chapter 47


    Mnie could hear and sense that Roderick was trying his best to restrain himself.


    She was putting his self–control to the test if she wriggled at that time.


    Mnie had no choice but to stay motionless in his arms.


    She felt her heart race as she listened to Roderick’s hammering heartbeat.


    Their heartbeats echoed with each other in the silent hall of flowers, loud and low, heavily and


    lightly, but strangely harmonious and mellifluous.


    After a long while, Roderick whispered in her ear, “M, when will you marry me?”


    Hearing this, Mnie pushed Roderick away like a frightened fawn.


    “I won’t marry you,” Mnie refused immediately.


    Roderick was stunned for a moment.


    “Why? We’ve already had Ethan and Elias. Do you have the heart to let them grow up in a broken


    home?”


    “No reason,” Mnie replied, looking indifferent.


    “As I said, I won’t marry you. I don’t want to talk about it again!”


    Before Roderick could speak, Mnie added, “Elias can stay here, but I’ll take Ethan away!”


    “M…” Roderick called softly, lowering his eyes.


    Soon, Geoffrey arranged for a servant to invite Mnie over, saying that Ethan and Elias were with


    him now.


    Mnie hesitated.


    Roderick followed and asked, “M, don’t you want to meet my grandpa?”

    “Of course not, I’ll go in right now,” Mnie replied.


    As soon as Geoffrey saw her, he kept calling her name fondly, treating her as his future


    granddaughter–inw.


    It made her embarrassed.


    “I wanted to tell you that if you don’t want to meet my grandpa, I can take Ethan out!” Roderick


    chuckled again.


    “Ah!” Mnie suddenly stopped. “Are you willing to let me take Ethan home?”


    “Of course!” Roderick nodded. “He’s sensible, who can help me take care of you.”


    Mnie thought, ‘What the hell? Do I need a kid to take care of me?”


    Mnie opened her mouth, but no words came out.


    She didn’t bother arguing with Roderick.


    She would meet his grandfather since he wanted to have a word with her. It was a


    courtesy.


    However, Roderick had a conscience, who was willing to help her bring Ethan out.


    As soon as she arrived at the door of Geoffrey’s courtyard, Kevin, Geoffrey’s servant, went up to


    greet her.


    “Ms. Robertson, you’re here. Mr. Lambert can’t wait to see you! Pleasee in!


    Kevin addressed her so formally. Apparently, he considered her as Roderick’s future wife.


    Mnie’s face blushed instantly.


    She quickly waved her hand..


    “Kevin, you can call me Mnie or M!”


    “Never mind. You’ll marry Mr. Lambert sooner orter!”


    Kevin’s smile made him look amusing.


    “Pleasee in, Ms. Robertson!”


    Mnie was tongue–tied.


    When she walked to the front door, she didn’t see Ethan, Elias, and even Geoffrey.


    Kevin, who was walking in front of her, noticed she had stopped and said, “Ms.


    Robertson, this way, please!”


    Then he went back through the screened–in porch.


    Mnie had to follow closely behind.


    Unexpectedly, he turned three corners and went through four doors.


    While Mnie was nervous, she heard Ethan and Elias‘ cheerful voice.


    After entering another door, he heard Ethan shouting, “Mommy,e and have a look. Great


    Grandpa wants to give me this!”


    Mnie’s scalp tingled.
