Chapter 58
As the dinner was over, Enzo said calmly, “Mr. Lambert, I heard that the Lambert. family leads the
world’s state–of–the–art TNH Laboratory?”
Roderick replied calmly, “The Lambert family is just investing some money in it. Those excellent
researchers are the people who lead it.
“I heard that you are also a talent in the medical area. I wonder if you are interested in visiting the
laboratory.”
Enzo’s eyes lit up immediately the moment he heard that.
Enzo said, “Yes, of course. Why don’t we visit it first thing tomorrow?”
Roderick agreed, “No problem!”
Roderick and Enzo started to chat as if they were old friends who hadn’t seen each other for ten
years.
The clock kept clicking but they were so excited that they almost lost their sense of time. It seemed
that they wanted to talk through the night!
Mnie winked at Enzo a few times to make him stop talking with Roderick and ask Roderick to
leave.
But Enzo didn’t realize it and kept talking with Roderick happily.
Mnie thought they were twopletely different kinds of men. One was based in ab and the
other dealt with money for a living.
Mnie didn’t understand why the two of them had such a happy conversation!
Their topics ranged from experiments to life sciences, from the underlying logic of the world to the
mysteries of the earth!
Mnie wanted to interrupt their conversation several times but managed to resist. the impulse!
Mnie admitted that although Roderick came from a prominent family, he didn’t have the kind of
air that those rich people who looked down on others usually had.
He even never looked arrogant as most people would do.
To be fair, Roderick was the kind of man who never made a mistake for no reason!
Mnie thought about it in a daze, not knowing that she was staring at Roderick.
Roderick said, “Are you tired, M?”
Mnie did note to her senses until she heard Roderick’s deep and mellow voice.
Mnie said, “What? I’m tired?”
Mnie was stunned for a moment and then she immediately came to her senses.
Mnie added, “Yes, you should leave now! Go back to your ce! We are going to sleep!”
Roderick wanted to say something but hesitated. “M, I…”
Ethan and Elias, who were ying with toys, had long been waiting for this
moment. All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.
Elias said, “Daddy, can you stay? I want you to read stories to me tonight!”
Elias rushed to Roderick and grabbed his arm!
Mnie said, “Elias,e here quickly. Daddy is going back to his home and sleep!”
Elias said, “No, I want him to sleep with me!” Then he burst into tears instantly.
Mnie said gravely, “Elias,e here!”
“I want Daddy…” Elias cried and refused to let go of Roderick.
Ethan said eagerly, “Mommy, I want Daddy to read stories to me too.”
Mnie’s eyes widened. She was about to lose her temper. She thought, ‘You bastard! You have
done wrong too many times.
‘You came to Zerivia without permission and became an auctioneer! And you talked about having
dinner with the Lambert family? You’ve betrayed me so many times! How dare you ask anything
from me!”
But before Mnie could speak, tears welled in Ethan’s big eyes too.

Ethan said, “Mommy, please. I haven’t heard Daddy reading stories once! Most children are able to
have their dad read bedtime stories to them every night. Why am I not?”
Hearing this, Mnie was left speechless.
Mnie asked herself in her mind, ‘Most children are able to have their dad read bedtime stories to
them every night. Why is Ethan not?
‘Should he be?”
Mnie couldn’t answer Ethan’s question but what really upset her were Ethan’s and Elias’s tears!
Mnie thought, ‘Why do they love this man so much?
‘Why do they love the man who they called Daddy so much?
‘Why?
“Why can’t they do without a dad?‘
Mnie lost her mother when she was 8 years old and she still grew up like everyone else did.
Mnie didn’t understand why these two seven–year–old boys couldn’t do without a father.
Enzo suddenly said, “Mnie, there are so many avable rooms here. Let Mr. Lambert stay here
tonight. He’ll take me to TNH Laboratory tomorrow morning!”
“Good, very good.” Mnie red at Enzo and said, “You’ve already nned it. What’s the point of
pretending to discuss it with me now?”
Mnie went to her bedroom without even looking at Roderick, simmering with anger!
As for the rest of the people, some goggled at each other, while some looked happy.
Ethan said, “Yes! Daddy will stay and lull me to sleep!”
Ethan was particrly happy because his dad would stay here tonight.
He decided to follow closely behind his dad tomorrow to avoid a lesson from Mnie!
Thinking about this, Ethanughed happily.
Elias was delighted too, but it was because Mnie and Roderick finally lived under the same roof!
Not long ago, Elias heard from his grandmother that Roderick and Mnie didn’t work together or
live in the same house so she was worried about when they could finally get married.
She said as long as a man and woman lived under the same roof, they would eventually end up in
the same bed and it was called love that grew over time!
So, Elias was happy that Roderick and Mnie had finally taken the first step on the road toward
love that grew over time!
While the kids, Roderick, and Enzo were having a joyful conversation, they heard footsteps and
soon they saw Mnie again.
They hurriedly stopped talking and turned to her.
Roderick saw Mnie pretend that she was just going to the kitchen to get a ss. of water and
then walk around them. It seemed that she wanted to say something.
Roderick said, “M, if you don’t want me to stay, I will leave!”
Though Roderick said he would leave, he stood still and didn’t even move slightly!
Roderick’s nasal voice which made him sound aggrieved tugged at Mnie’s heartstrings.
Mnie thought, ‘Jerk!
‘What a smart man!‘
But Mnie couldn’t ask him to get out of here now!
Pretending not to hear him, Mnie hurried into the kitchen, put down the ss, and washed her
hands.
Out of the kitchen, Mnie walked to her bedroom looking straight ahead.
Suddenly Mnie stopped walking and shot a brief nce at Roderick.
Mnie said, “Well, it’s very kind of you to take Ethan and Elias to wash up!”
After saying that, she rushed back to her bedroom, being stared at by everyone. else in
bewilderment.
Elias said happily, “Daddy, congrattions!”
Roderick frowned, “Why?” He thought, ‘Does he even know what congrattion means?‘
Enzo couldn’t helpughing wildly!
Immediately, Ethan giggled!
Roderick, who was always decisive and in control of everything, became puzzled.
He asked, “What? What are you…”
Seeing Roderick’s confused look, Enzoughed much harder!
