Chapter 81


    She and Darrin had been friends for many years, so they would naturally live in Harbour Vi.


    Thinking of this, Mnie remembered that Roy said Tracy had not caused trouble these days,


    which made Mnie suspicious..


    It seems that Steve also had kept a low key these days. Mnie wondered if they transformed into


    upright people.


    Soon, she thought it impossible to switch them into good citizens only by criticizing them online.


    Maybe Darrin’s investigation made some progress.


    As soon as Mnie thought of this, Darrin called her.


    “Hello, Darrin. Got anything?”


    “Ms. Robertson, Steve has behaved himself for the past two days. I haven’t found anything yet.”


    Darrin sounded calm as usual on the other end.


    “What about Owen?”


    “He is busy sending his son abroad for treatment. Besides, I heard that Owen’s second son, Connor


    wille back.”


    Hearing this, Mnie thought for a moment.


    She remembered that when she was in the hospital, Ryan once said that Connor had been in


    Solustria for many years and was responsible for all business in that country. In fact, Connor was


    the man governing the Smith family besides Owen.


    If the Smith family had something to do with Steve, Connor might have been involved in what


    happened in Solustria.


    “You should pay attention to Connor and see if he is rted to what happened back then,” Mnie


    instructed.


    “Yes, Ms. Robertson.”


    “Is there anything else you need to report, Darrin?”


    Mnie wondered why Darrin was so indecisive when reporting what he had found to her.


    “Ms. Robertson, Tracy just took Vanessa home.”


    Hearing this, Mnie recalled Vanessa who she had seen in the hospitalst time, and couldn’t


    help being surprised.


    “Do you mean Vanessa was discharged from the hospital?“”


    “Yes. I heard that she has recoveredpletely.”


    Hearing this, Mnie was silent. She remembered Vanessa’s strange behavior in the ward that


    day.


    She doubted if she really recovered.


    But she didn’t tell Darrin about her suspicion.


    Judging from the basic medical knowledge she had learned from her grandfather over the years,


    Vanessa’s addiction was not easy to cure.


    Mnie was lost in her thoughts. Suddenly, she saw that the phone was still on, and then she


    heard Darrin’s voice from the other end of the line. “Ms. Robertson.” Mnie was startled. She


    thought Darrin must have hung the phone early.


    “Darrin, do you have something else to tell me?” Mnie asked confusedly.


    “No, Ms. Robertson.” Darrin hesitated momentarily and quickly added, “Ms. Robertson, I’ve finished


    my work here and will be back soon.”


    Hearing this, Mnie said without revealing her true emotions, “Okay. It’s up to you.”


    After hanging up the phone, Mnie shook her head.


    She was disappointed that everyone around her became unreadable. Darrin used to be reliable and


    calm, but now he also tended to be strange.


    It urred to her that since Roderick was in her house, he might be hostile to Darrin when he came


    back.


    Then, she was confident that as long as she was with them, there would be no


    battle.


    Even though Roderick’s Twain Shadow Guards were adept at fighting, she didn’t believe that


    Roderick would dare to attack Darrin.


    She thought, ‘Humph!


    ‘Darrin is my friend and like


    my


    brother.


    ‘But what does Roderick mean to me?‘


    Only then did Mnie realize that she didn’t know what Roderick, the man insisting on living with


    her meant to her.


    He was indeed the father of her children.


    And he was also her one–night stand.


    She didn’t know whether she should be regretful or resentful when thinking of the absurd deal made


    with Roderick and the long yet impressive night she spent with


    him.


    She did feel regretful.


    The feeling was especially strong when she discovered that she was pregnant.


    She was resentful of herself too.


    When she had to stay on the ind for seven years because of pregnancy, she hated herself


    because she still got stuck in the rtionship with Roderick rather than keep away from him after he


    returned sober.


    But now, Mnie couldn’t define her feelings.


    When she first learned that her three kids‘ father was a descendant of the Lambert family, she was


    somehow panicked and fearful, but actually, she was also relieved.


    It was difficult for Mnie to describe her feelings.


    She thought the reason why she wavered was that she found that her children’s father was not a


    nasty guy/and deserved her fondness.


    Mnie’s cheeks burned at the thought of having dinner with Roderickter.


    Soon, the man’s voice came through the door which could easily hook others.


    “M, it’s time for dinner.


    N?velDrama.Org owns this.


    Mnie deliberately didn’t answer, and the man kept calling her name outside.


    “M, can you hear me?


    “Hey, M. Please answer me.


    Mnie let out a sigh.


    Her heart was racing when she heard Roderick’s enchanting gentle voice.


    She knew that if she didn’t answer, the man would not stop. Therefore, she had to respond angrily


    and awkwardly. “Okay. I’lle outter.”


    Then, Roderick chuckled and said, “Good. We’re waiting for you.”


    Mnie was hopeless.


    This annoying man had the special ability to put out her burning anger.


    When Mnie arrived at the dining room, she saw that her seat was next to Roderick’s. Ethan and


    Elias smiled at her cheerily.


    “Mommy,e on. It’s time for dinner.” Elias guided Mnie to the seat next to Roderick’s with a


    smile.


    Now Mnie was upset when she saw Elias because it was he who connected them with the


    Lambert family.


    Unexpectedly, Ethan was not aware of his mistake and said, “I’m so happy today. Both Daddy and


    Mommy are here. It would be great if every day could be like this.


    Just as they talked, Darrin came.


    Roderick put cooked shrimp on Mnie’s te and said with a smile. “Then, I’ll try my best to make


    every day as full of happiness as today.”


    He said this to Ethan, but his eyes were fixed on Mnie, so he didn’t notice Darrin at all.


    ILU, — ——


    Obviously, Darrin was stunned for a moment. He didn’t expect Roderick to be


    here.


    “That’s great. Thank you, Daddy.” Ethan cheered and turned around to catch sight of Darrin who


    had just entered the door.


    “Hey, Darrin. You know what? I can live with Daddy and Mommy happily in the future. You’re also


    happy for us, aren’t you?”


    Darrin was stunned for a moment. Obviously, he didn’t expect that Ethan would ask him this


    question.


    There was a hint of difort on his cold face, and he seemed to disagree with Ethan. “You were


    also very happy on the ind.”


    Hearing this, Ethan waved his hand like an adult and said seriously. “That’s different. Although I


    used to be happy, I wanted to cry when I thought of Daddy.”


    “That’s right. I also missed Daddy so much, so we were eager to find where he was at that time,”


    said Elias..


    As Elias talked, he almost shed tears.


    Mnie was stunned by this dramatic scene and felt a little embarrassed.
