Chapter 82
‘What in the world is going on?‘ Mnie thought in bewilderment.
She felt that Roderick and his two sons were all not friendly to Darrin.
Darrin, who was usually calm, was also embarrassed. Mnie red at Ethan and Elias and
greeted Darrin, “Come here, Darrin! There’s your favorite beef!”
Hearing this, Darrin nced at Roderick and touched Ethan’s head affectionately. “Ethan is right. I
ignored his feelings before.”
Then he looked at Mnie and said in a deep voice, “Sorry, Ms. Robertson. I’ll go to have dinner
with Roy and Sam.”
In the past, there were few people in Harbour Vi, and everyone rarely cooked at home.
asionally, they only made some coffee, so they seldom had a chance to sit together for dinner.
But now Roderick was here and brought a chef. It seemed that he would stay there. for a long time,
so they had to sit at the table to have dinner.
But honestly, Mnie didn’t think Roy and Sam would like to have dinner with Roderick.
She realized that she and her children had the privilege of Roderick’s kindness. He was cold to
others.
Thinking of this, Mnie nced at Roderick and found that the man stared at her.
Therefore, Mnie blushed. She rolled her eyes at Roderick angrily and said, “Why are you looking
at me like this? Eat your dinner.”
“M, I love beef, too,” the man said weakly.
“What?” Mnie was puzzled for a moment. “Do you like beef?”
“Yeah, I love beef too, Roderick said again while looking pitiful and stressed thest word.
This time, Mnie finally understood that Roderick was jealous of Darrin because she remembered
that Darrin was fond of beef.
“Okay. You can have all the beef,” Mnie said. She angrily put some beef on Roderick’s te.
“Let’s eat.”
Roderick probably didn’t expect that he would get this reward by ying coy with Mnie. His eyes
smiled brightly like sparkling stars.
Ethan and Elias looked at them with content smiles, full of a sense of happiness.
Seeing their faces, Mnie was moved. Maybe it was okay to give Roderick a chance. At least,
Ethan and Elias could cease to be jealous of other children who were showered by fatherly love.
They finished the meal happily. The chef recruited by Roderick was so brilliant as to create
impressive dishes.
It was indisputable that Roderick was a good father. Mnie didn’t have to worry about anything
when it came to taking care of Ethan and Elias as they had dinner or went to bed.
Ethan and Elias also listened to Roderick, so they obeyed Roderick’s words readily.
Though Mnie envisaged that the two kids would insist on sleeping with her, nothing happened.
At this time, she suddenly realized that Elias’s bad habit of sleeping with a lollipop in his mouth
before going to bed had disappeared.
She found it hard to recall thest time she saw Elias hold a lollipop anytime.
This was big news.
Mnie was shocked that Roderick was so charming that he was able to help Elias renounce his
addiction to lollipops.
No one could imagine how many efforts she made to stop Elias from getting addicted to sweets.
However, this tricky issue was easily addressed by Elias’s father.

After dinner, Mnie silently watched Roderick take care of Ethan and Elias, y games with them,
and read books to them for a while.
She saw Roderick wash them and talk them down, listening to him read stories to the children in his
melodious voice.
In the end, Mnie didn’t know how she went back to her bedroom. At that moment, she only knew
that she seemed to understand the happiness Ethan mentioned.
When her mother was still alive, she would kiss Mnie on the forehead or face. before she went to
bed every night.
She was also very happy at that time.
Since her mother’s death, no one would kiss Mnie goodnight, and no one would look at her
silently when she was asleep.
Steve was helpless.
After Vanessa became a member of Mnie’s family, Steve preferred Vanessa. Although Steve
ensured that Mnie’s material life was good, she could feel Steve’s preference for Vanessa.
For example, when there was only one toy, Steve would always say to Mnie, “Don’t forget you’re
older than Vanessa. You’ll be generous to give it to her, right?”
Vanessa also craved that ne. Mnie had never thought about giving Vanessa what she had
received from her mother.
However, Vanessa had been interested in the ne since she became Mnie’s half–sister.
When she asked for itter, Mnie found it hard to refuse and said that she would lend it to
Vanessa on her 16th birthday.
But unexpectedly, the ne was given away and never returned.
Thinking of this, Mnie was a little confused.
Vanessa was just a child at that time. It was usual for a little girl to pester her sister for jewelry
whether she knew it was priceless or not..
Mnie doubted that Vanessa was instigated by Tracy.
However, Mnie couldn’t figure out any possible reason.
Perhaps it was only because of the great value of the ne.
Or, it might have something to do with the words on the ne. She wondered if Tracy knew that
there were the words “Thousand Snow Mountains” on it.
“Thousand Snow Mountains.” Thinking of this, Mnie blurted these words.
She thought, ‘Why exactly did Mom carve these words on the ne? How could it be rted to
Thousand Snowy Mountains?
Are they the same painting?
‘Or would they refer to the same thing?”
As Mnie was thinking, she fell asleep.
She had a long dream.
In the dream, there were her parents and three magnified words that read Thousand Snow
Mountains carved on the ne. Then, the three words turned to Thousand Snowy Mountains
and were covered by blood.
After a while, Vanessa rushed to her in red andughed wildly, followed by Tracy with a ferocious
face..
Mnie was frightened into a cold sweat. She struggled to wake herself up, but she failed.
Just when she was desperate, Steve ran out of nowhere and shouted, “M, it’s me.”
Mnie trembled abruptly, frightened. She finally got rid of the nightmare. She opened her eyes
wide and found it dark in the room.
“Is the
power off?”
