Chapter 61


    Roderick said firmly, “Either he leaves, or youe back to the Lambert Manor with me!”


    Mnie said, “Go back to the Lambert Manor with you? What? Roderick, mind your own business.


    You’re at Harbour Vi. It’s my home here!”


    Mnie couldn’t understand Roderick and couldn’t figure out what was wrong. with him.


    Mnie thought, ‘I really shouldn’t have been nice to him. I should keep giving. him my poker face


    like I always did. That’s the right thing to do!”


    Roderick said, “M!”


    Mnie said, “Stop! Who do


    think you you think


    are?”


    Looking at Roderick’s pretty face, Mnie became more and more furious.


    Mnie said, “What right do you have to decide where I live? This is not the Lambert Manor and it’s


    not your decision what I should do!”


    Roderick stared at her and called softly, “M!”


    Roderick’s perfectly pleasing deep voice sounded like he was infinitely resentful!


    Mnie’s heart softened. She knew Roderick was staring at her but she still stubbornly looked


    away from him to avoid eye contact with him.


    Mnie didn’t breathe a sigh of relief until she felt that he looked away from her


    face.


    Mnie couldn’t help but shoot a brief nce at Roderick and saw Roderick, who always looked


    noble and proud, lowering his head.


    The chandelier on the ceiling was shining mildly over his head.


    His eyes and handsome cool face were hidden in the darkness.


    He sat there absolutely motionlessly. His head cast a shadow on his chest, which seemed to be


    showing a trace of his sorrow.


    Mnie was suddenly reminded that the man in front of her had saved her more


    175


    than once and had been making up for the unintentional damage that he had done to her.


    Although he did, it clumsily, she still found it heart–warming and touching!


    Thinking about this, Mnie felt her heart softening.


    She said in a milder tone, “Why aren’t you sleeping? Have you been sitting here all night? There are


    guest rooms upstairs and there should be pajamas in the closet.


    too.”


    Hearing this, seemed to regain his vitality immediately. Suddenly he raised his head and his dull


    eyes were bright again.


    Roderick said, “M, I…”


    Darrin suddenly called out, “Ms. Robertson!”


    Roderick was just thinking about something but he was interrupted by a male


    voice.


    Mnie said, “Darrin! Why are you still awake? Let’s have a talk tomorrow. It’s too


    Mnie didn’t expect that the Darrin woulde back!


    At that moment, Darrin was dressed in clean and casual clothes and his sharp eyes. looked


    mysterious under the light.


    Darrin said, “Ms. Robertson, there’s something urgent. I want to tell you now!”


    Hearing this, Mnie nced at Roderick and frowned, “An emergency?”


    Darrin said, “Yes, Ms. Robertson.”


    Seeing Roderick stare down at her again, Mnie thought for a while.


    Mnie said, “Wait for me in the study. I’ll change my clothes first. I’ll be there


    soon!”


    Mnie went back to the cloakroom.


    At this time of the year, she always slept in a thin and short suspender nightdress.


    She thought she would be out only for a short while so she just casually put on a coat over the


    dress.


    But Mnie and Darrin needed to talk about something serious, she thought she- should change


    her clothes.


    Thinking that Darrin had an emergency to report to her, Mnie had a lot of questions in her heart.


    She thought, ‘I wonder what Darrin is thinking about. What’s so important? Why does he have to


    report it to me in the middle of the night?”


    Mnie was selecting clothes. At that moment, she didn’t know that there was a big fight between


    two people in the living room right after she left there.


    Roderick said, “Darrin, right? I remember you are supposed to be in the hanging prison in Xeria At


    that moment. Why are you here, around M? What do you


    want?”


    At that moment, Roderick waspletely different from what he looked like in front of Mnie,


    obedient.


    His pretty bright eyes looked fierce now. He looked Darrin up and down as if he was trying to dig a


    hole in his body.


    Darrin did not look the slightest fearful.


    Darrin said, “Ms. Robertson is a member of the Thomas family. Mr. Lambert, she’s not yours. Don’t


    get it wrong!”


    Roderick sneered.


    Roderick said, “I don’t think you have the right to talk about things about M! You’re just a


    bodyguard who protects her. Know your ce. Don’t cross the line!”


    Hearing this, Darrin blinked a little.


    Darrin said, “I know what I’m supposed to do. But I wonder howe you have the right to do that,


    Mr. Lambert. I think it’s not up to you whether I crossed the line or not!”


    Roderick sneered and smiled, “Howe?


    “Because I’m the father of her kids!”


    Hearing this, Darrin froze for a moment but soon, he regained hisposure.


    Darrin said, “So what? Ms. Robertson will never be with a man who once forced her to do


    something!”


    Roderick repeated. “Forced?”


    Roderick’s tone was bantering.


    Roderick continued, “I’m afraid you don’t know what really happens between a man and a woman in


    bed. Do you think that simple coercion will make M get pregnant so easily?”


    Darrin said fiercely, “You! You nned it seven years ago!


    “You approached her on purpose. You’ve been lying to her. What do you want to do?”


    Darrin leaned forward andunched an attack on Roderick’s face with both of his

    hands.


    But before Darrin could get close to Roderick, the two tall men in ck suddenly appeared again


    like ghosts!


    Darrin had a physical fight with the two men in ck again.


    After Mnie changed her clothes, she walked out of the room and saw the three of them fighting


    with each other.


    Mnie shouted, “Stop it! What are you doing?”


    Hearing Mnie, the two men in ck who were fighting with Darrin immediately stopped and


    retreated to Roderick.


    But Darrin rushed to Roderick, looking unwilling to


    ve it un


    Mnie raised her voice and shouted, “Darrin, get out of here!”


    Mnie knew that thest time Roderick visited the Robertson family at night, Roderick already


    wanted to kill Darrin.


    Neither of the two men of Roderick’s was beneath Darrin and in some respects,


    they might even be better than Darrin.


    Mnie didn’t want Darrin to get hurt.


    After all, Darrin was Enzo’s man so he was a member of the Thomas family. She thought she


    should protect him.


    Darrin said. “Ms. Robertson, he is not a good person. You can’t let him stay here!”


    Mnie said, “Darrin, you’re imagining things! He’s Ethan’s father!”


    Mnie frowned. She thought that Darrin had changed a lot. He talked more and acted strangely.


    Mnie saw clearly just now that although Darrin was fighting with the two men in ck, his target


    was always Roderick!


    Mnie was a little bit confused. She didn’t understand why Roderick and Darrin became enemies


    just after she changed her clothes.
