Chapter 76


    “Who cares about you? It’s not allowed to park in the small square!” Mnie said without thinking.


    “Oh, I did say yesterday that I would follow you anywhere you go. M, have you forgotten it


    already?”


    Roderick expressed what he wanted to say without answering her.


    “You…


    Indeed, he said so after they kissed in the car yesterday.


    At that time, Mnie was dizzy due to theck of oxygen in her brain.


    “M, you are the mother of my children and my woman. I’ll be with you anywhere you go in the


    future. You can’t get rid of me. M.”


    Mnie’s face blushed, and she almost burst out the words, “I didn’t agree to it.”


    How could she say that?


    Mnie became speechless, not daring to say anything else.


    “Or do you want me to go upstairs? I can sleep on the couch in your office,” Roderick said in a


    negotiable tone.


    “No way!” Mnie gritted her teeth and said, feeling annoyed.


    “M.”


    After a slight sigh and pause, he added, “Obviously, you like it, too.”


    His words struck Mnie, and she leaped on her feet as if she had been pricked with a needle.


    “What are you talking about? I won’t fall for you.”


    “Heh.”


    When she heard his charming chuckle on the other end of the phone. Mnie started to realize


    what she had said.

    Mand


    Immediately, she felt her face burning.


    “M, well, I like it, and I like you too.”


    Mnie’s heart pounded once more upon hearing this.


    Even the phone she was holding nearly toppled to the ceiling.


    She thought of his words “Obviously, you like it too.”


    She thought, ‘He was talking nonsense.


    ‘How could I fall in love with a man who I had only spent one night with?


    ‘Never!


    ‘Ever!‘


    What did he refer to by “Obviously, you like it too“?


    Did he mean she liked being with him and getting intimate with him?


    He was so presumptuous.


    She decided not to forgive him.


    Thinking of this, Mnie picked up the phone on the floor and wanted to send a message.


    But she saw an unread message on the screen.


    It turned out that it was from Roderick. [M, I’ll watch over you downstairs. Good night. I’ll leave


    early tomorrow morning.]


    “Watch over me? Who told you to watch over me?” she uttered.


    Mnie thought this man was being irrational because he stayed downstairs, refusing to go to sleep


    at the Lambert Manor.


    Mnie wondered what kind of rumor would surface if reporters or those who arrived at the office


    the next morning saw him.


    However, she really didn’t believe that the son of the Lambert family could stay downstairs all night.


    She wouldn’t believe it.


    He must be hoping to make her feel sorry for him with a pity party so that she would allow him to


    enter her ce.


    That must be it.


    Mnie thought that Roderick would be gone in half an hour at thetest.


    With the thought of watching the show, Mnie would go to the window to check on him every few


    minutes.


    To her surprise, half an hourter, Roderick was still standing in front of his car.


    Mnie lost it when she saw howposed he was.


    ‘Go ahead. I’ll see how long you can stay here. Stand there until dawn if you can. Humph?‘ Mnie


    thought and then went to bed with peace of mind.


    Today she was just too tired. Despite taking a quick nap in the car, she felt a little exhausted today


    due to her mood swings.


    Mnie dozed off quickly and slept till dawn.


    The rm clock went off, waking her at half past six in the morning.


    Mnie washed her face, brushed her teeth, and made a cup of Lavazza coffee sent by Jennifer.


    Then she remembered Roderick came herest night.


    “He must have gone home to sleep because he couldn’t stand it,” she sneered as she walked to the


    window, holding the coffee. “What he said…”


    She cast a hopeless nce downstairs.


    She nearly dropped the coffee cup out of surprise.


    A man stood by the car door in the small square in the twilight of dawn.


    The man in ck was looking in her direction, like a statue.


    From so far away, Mnie seemed to be able to see a gentle light in his brown


    eyes.


    “Oh, my goodness. Did he really stand there all night?” Mnie cried out in


    N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.


    disbelief.


    She thought, ‘Is he even human?‘


    ‘I can’t believe someone like that exists.


    ‘It seems that he suffers from both physical and mental problems. He is paranoid.


    There were more and more cars on the road, and the light was growing brighter.


    At Rising Star, the day began with the arrival of the security guards and cleaning


    crew.


    Three opulent cars in this tiny square had passersby chatting among themselves.


    Mnie could not remainposed after seeing this scene. She quickly grabbed her phone and


    made a call.


    “Roderick, what are you doing? Get out of here now!” Mnie shouted angrily into her phone.


    But Roderick ignored her impatience, and his chuckling was as if dew was dripping from a leaf in


    the morning. “Heh, M. Did you sleep well?”


    Mnie was stunned.


    This sentence made her feelings of guilt and rage, discontent, and the desire to severely reprimand


    him all vanish.


    “Go home and take good care of Ethan and Elias,” she uttered.


    “Okay, I’ll go back if you want me to.”


    Roderick chuckled obediently and emphasized, “I’lle over tonight.”


    Mnie felt lovely, but she was at a loss for words.


    No woman disliked being pursued and adored.


    Mnie was no exception, even though she had always felt superior.


    Three luxury cars drove away.


    Mnie looked in the direction where the cars left and took a deep breath.


    What should she do with this man?


    She grew on Roderick as time went by. She liked his voice and the way he talked.


    However, he was the same person who slept with her back then.


    Over the years, she often thought about what her children’s father would be like.


    Could he be a scumbag who betrayed his wife and family, a shameless man who would hurt his


    own daughter like her father did?


    Or was he a yboy who had frequently visited brothels?


    Mnie always felt guilty about the deal she had made when she considered that possibility.


    Countless times, she pondered whether she ought to have chosen death rather than doing such a


    ridiculous thing.


    She was relieved as her three kids‘ father turned out to be so excellent; meanwhile, she felt even


    more flustered.


    Yes, a normal person would understand how fortunate they were to marry into the Lambert family.

    Even Angie knew that Roderick was a good catch.


    How could Mnie not know?


    “Hey, Mnie, what’s bothering you? Just take your first meeting as your destiny,” Angie whispered


    to her at the gate of Kdeal Police Station that day.


    Destiny?


    Indeed, Roderick and she seemed to be destined for each other. That evening, his men just so


    happened to be the ones who saved her.


    Roderick happened to be set up that evening as well.


    Was it really doomed?


    Mnie sighed.


    Suddenly, there was a knock at the door.


    13-15 Tue, 19 Mar


    Mnie wondered who hade to her office so early.
