Chapter 73


    Michael took Angie along with him when he left the police station.


    Roderick pulled Mnie into the car she took to get here.


    “M!” he uttered.


    Mnie had remained silent and disregarded Roderick ever since getting into the


    car.


    She stared nkly out of the car.


    She didn’t know what was on her mind, or rather, she wasn’t thinking at all.


    “M!” Roderick called her twice before he could bring her back to reality!


    When Mnie came back to her senses, she found a pair of attractive eyes full of


    concern.


    She suddenly came to believe that Angie was really getting married.


    Soon after their idental one–night romance, Angie decided to marry Michael.


    Should people get married after sleeping together?


    Mnie thought, ‘In that case, can I lead an independent life while raising three kids?‘


    Mnie couldn’t understand Angie’s decision.


    “M.”


    Mnie didn’t realize he had been holding her hand until then. “Don’t call me,” she said, shaking off


    Roderick’s hand.


    N?velDrama.Org owns this.


    “M.”


    His deep voice wasced with some sadness.


    Mnie eximed inwardly, ‘Damn it!‘


    Mnie’s mood would instantly change each time he called her like that.


    ??,


    It was no exception, even though she was feeling strangely irate right now.


    She felt frustrated!


    Mnie curled up against the opposite window, covering her ears with her tiny fingers and holding


    her head with both hands to stay away from him.


    “M.”


    Mnie eximed silently, ‘Oh, my goodness!‘


    She couldn’tpletely block his voice froming through. His soft voice. struck her like a


    shockwave.


    It felt as though his voice was ringing a bell attached to her heart.


    Her heart would tinkle every time she heard his dragging voice calling her in this


    way.


    “M… I’m sorry,” he said.


    Mnie realized that Roderick was giving her an exnation about taking her to Kdeal when she


    heard him apologize.


    Mnie didn’t say anything. She knew that Roderick had done nothing wrong.


    Angie raced a car, rushed to Kdeal got into a fight here, and was caught by the police. Not a single


    one of these things was trivial.


    Had it not been for Roderick, Angie might have spent an indeterminate amount of time behind bars


    and suffered.


    For Angie to return, he merely asked her toe here and sign her name. How could she possibly


    expect Roderick to apologize to her when he had done her such a big favor?


    She had to share the same car with Roderick toe to Kdeal. So what? She needed his help in


    the first ce.


    Even if he had taken advantage of her, holding her hand and looking at her, what could she say?


    Roderick was sick and simply wanted to findfort in her.


    Mnie thought silently, not responding to him.


    After a while, she heard him talking again, “M, do you remember that night from seven years


    ago?”


    “I have been looking for you for the past seven years since then.


    “For the past seven years, I’ve been doing something every day that I never did as a kid. Do you


    know why?”


    Mnie remained silent, but she pricked up her ear and listened carefully.


    “Heh.”


    Roderick chuckled.


    “M, I make the same wish every day, hoping to see you again.


    “But ever since I saw you on the ne that day, I’ve been wishing to see you all the time.


    Roderick then sighed.


    “M, am I too greedy?”


    Mnie listened silently, feeling deeply touched.


    She could rte to the kind of day–to–day miss in his words, just as she had thought about that


    night a lot over the years.


    And seven yearster, they met again. She became flustered and her heart raced every time he


    came close to her and touched her, whether on purpose or identally.


    She didn’t know what was wrong with her.


    How could she fall in love with this man who had made up such a ridiculous deal and whom she


    had never met before?


    ‘Heaven! This is ridiculous! she eximed inside.


    Mnie moved her body slightly, but she still didn’t say anything.


    “However, I don’t know anything that happened between Angie and Michael this


    time. But I can assure you that Michael will never mistreat Angie,” he said.


    After hearing Roderick’s exnation, Mnie started to calm down and gave what had happened


    between Angie and Michael some serious thought.


    It seemed that Angie and Michael had long clicked.


    Perhaps they were already in love when they first visited the Lambert Manor because they had such


    a joyous conversation.


    Girls would leave home when they grew up.


    Mnie sighed, her body finally at case, but she continued to lean against the ss window and


    look outside.


    Anyway, she was still in the midst of entanglement.


    To be honest, Angie was 24 years old. She would have been married and a mother long ago if she


    had been born into amon family.


    Mnie was perplexed as to how Angie turned out to be so yful and unruly when the Thomas


    family had always been strict with their kids.


    But how could such a disciplined monster decide to marry a man she recently


    met?


    To


    think about it carefully, Mnie would consent to it without hesitation if the man truly cared for her


    and truly loved her.


    But she never thought that Angie would marry a man from Zerivia, much less Roderick’s rtive.


    Mnie couldn’t think straight.


    She was getting tired from thinking. She sighed weakly in relief and closed her eyes, leaning


    against the seat.


    In a trance, she felt the movement on the other side of the seat, and she once again had the


    sensation of being intensely stared at.
