Chapter 60


    Mnie decided topletely ignore Roderick. She closed the door and went to sleep.


    This mansion was not as good as the residence of the Lambert family, where, everyone had a


    single house.


    But there were enough spare rooms for guests.


    Because of Mnie’s intermittent insomnia, her bedroom was on the first floor.


    Once Mnie closed the bedroom door, she could hear nothing upstairs.


    Mnie was still resentful. He thought, ‘Well, I’ll leave the babies to him tonight.


    ‘Doesn’t he like babysitting very much anyway? Well, take care of them until you’re bored.’


    Thinking that Angie hadn’te back yet, Mnie was a little bit confused.


    Mnie thought, ‘Is it really so much fun hanging out with Michael? Do they have that much to talk


    about?‘


    At that moment, Angie happened to send her a message. Mnie immediately became furious.


    Angie: [Mnie, I won’t be back tonight. I hope you and my cousin–inw will get along well with


    each other. Have a nice evening.]


    Mnie thought, ‘What is this nasty girl talking about?


    ‘What cousin–inw? Get along with him?”


    Mnie was furious when she thought about Angie’s expression when Angie betrayed her.


    She immediately called Angie but Angie’s phone had already been turned off.


    Mnie shouted, “My goodness! What kind of people are they?”


    Mnie threw her phone aside furiously.


    Somehow, Mnie couldn’t fall asleep tonight.


    Mnie got up and turned off the light. She kept her eyes wide open and could not fall sleepy at all.


    It was already 11 o’clock at night. Mnie listened silently with her ears pricking up for a while and


    found it was dead silence outside her room and upstairs!


    Mnie muttered, “Gary must have arranged a room for him, right?”


    Mnie’s mind was full of Roderick’s face.


    She rolled over a few times and murmured, “I wonder if he’s asleep now? It’ste. He must have


    fallen asleep.”


    Thinking about Roderick, Mnie blushed and felt her heart beating faster.


    In the past years, what happened on that night seven years ago shed through her mind from time


    to time so her memories about it be even clearer and clearer.


    Mnie used to think that she would never see Roderick again.


    Mnie never expected that after so long a time, she would be sleeping in the same house as him!


    Mnie sighed, “Life is full of surprises!” Finally, she drifted into sleep.


    After a while, in her dream, Mnie seemed to hear a fight in the hall.


    At first, Mnie thought it was Roy and Sam. She thought they were deprived of sleep and were


    having apetence.


    “Why don’t you go to the practice room if you really can’t fall asleep?” Mnie. murmured. She


    rolled over and fell asleep.


    Suddenly, Mnie heard some loud bangs among the sound of the fight.


    Mnie woke up immediately.


    Bang!


    She heard another one.


    Mnie was familiar with this kind of sound.


    It was the dull sound of a violent collision of strong muscles!


    Mnie shouted, “Why did Roy and Sam suddenly be crazy in the middle of the night? Do


    they have to do it so fiercely?”


    Mnie couldn’t fall asleep at all now. She had to sit up andin about them!


    Mnie put on a homewear jacket, nning to find out what was going on.


    When she walked to the hall, she saw Darrin confronting the two men in ck! Mnie cried,


    “Darrin?”


    Darrin was dressed in ck too. His tired and stubborn look slightly showed his anger!


    Mnie said, “Darrin, it’s really you! You’re back!”


    Mnie rubbed her eyes and walked closer to Darrin.


    Darrin answered in a deep voice, lowering his head slightly, “Ms. Robertson! Sorry that I’m too


    late!”


    Mnie asked, “You don’t have to say sorry. Did youe back overnight? Have you eaten


    anything yet? Are you hungry? I’ll ask Gary to make some noodles for you!”


    Mnie didn’t notice Roderick’s angry face at all.


    Darrin still replied respectfully, “Thanks but no need, Ms. Robertson!”


    Roderick, sitting on the sofa in front of Darrin, clearly saw that when Darrin raised his head slightly


    to look at Mnie’s face, Darrin looked a bit wistful before he lowered his head again.


    Mnie said, “Well, okay. Make something to eat for yourself when you’re hungry.”


    As Mnie spoke, she just looked up.


    Roderick was sitting on the sofa in the middle of the hall. His face was sullen and his eyes were


    dull, making it difficult for other people to figure out what he was thinking about.


    Two tall men in ck stood at Roderick’s sides. Based on their muscles, they were well–trained and


    strong.

    Mnie asked, “Did you have a physical fight just now?”


    Mnie nced at Roderick as she spoke.


    Mnie introduced Darrin to Roderick. “This is Darrin. You’ve seen him before. You should be


    friends. Don’t do that again!”


    Then she nced at Darrin.


    Mnie said to Darrin, “Go back to sleep. He is Ethan’s father. It’s safe with them!”


    Hearing this, Darrin nced at Roderick coldly and left without saying a word.


    Roderick raised his hand and the two men in ck beside him turned around and left silently and


    mysteriously as if they were ghosts.


    When Mnie was about to go back to sleep, she was surprised to hear Roderick’s magical,


    mellow, and deep voice again.


    Roderick asked, “Why is he here?”


    Mnie raised her head in surprise and asked in confusion, “What?”


    Roderick asked again, “Does he live here?”


    His voice somehow sounded a little bit colder.


    Only then did Mnie realize that Roderick was talking about Darrin.


    Mnie replied, “Yes, he is one of the Thomas family. Where is he supposed to live if not here?


    “Don’t you think you have gone too far tonight? How could you get your men to have a fight with


    Darrin just right after he came back after an exhausting journey?”


    Roderick said coldly, “Ask him to leave!”


    Mnie suspected that she was only having an allusion.


    Mnie said, “What? What did you say?”


    Roderick stared at Mnie looking angry.


    Roderick said, “Ask him to leave here!”


    This time, Mnie confirmed that Roderick had asked her to make Darrin leave.


    Mnie thought, “Who does he think he is? The owner of this house?’


    Mnie said, “What? Mr. Lambert, have you forgotten who you are?”


    She was so angry that he got more and more audacious!


    Only then did Mnie notice that Roderick was still wearing a suit, sitting upright on the sofa. It


    didn’t seem that he had been sleeping at all.


    Mnie snorted in her mind, ‘What’s wrong with this man?”


    The clock in the hall chimed. It was already 2:00 a.m.!


    Mnie wondered why Roderick was sitting on the couch in the middle of the night instead of


    sleeping.


    Mnie wondered if it was because Gary didn’t arrange a room for him.
