Chapter 61
Roderick said firmly, “Either he leaves, or you come back to the Lambert Manor with me!”
Melanie said, “Go back to the Lambert Manor with you? What? Roderick, mind your own business. You’re at Harbour Villa. It’s my home here!”
Melanie couldn’t understand Roderick and couldn’t figure out what was wrong. with him.
Melanie 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, “Mela!”
Melanie said, “Stop! Who do
think you you think
are?”
Looking at Roderick’s pretty face, Melanie became more and more furious.
Melanie 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, “Mela!”
Roderick’s perfectly pleasing deep voice sounded like he was infinitely resentful!
Melanie’s heart softened. She knew Roderick was staring at her but she still stubbornly looked away from him to avoid eye contact with him.
Melanie didn’t breathe a sigh of relief until she felt that he looked away from her
face.
Melanie couldn’t help but shoot a brief glance 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.
Melanie 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, Melanie 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, “Mela, I…”
Darrin suddenly called out, “Ms. Robertson!”
Roderick was just thinking about something but he was interrupted by a male
voice.
Melanie said, “Darrin! Why are you still awake? Let’s have a talk tomorrow. It’s too
late now!”
Melanie didn’t expect that the Darrin would come 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, Melanie glanced at Roderick and frowned, “An emergency?”
Darrin said, “Yes, Ms. Robertson.”
Seeing Roderick stare down at her again, Melanie thought for a while.
Melanie said, “Wait for me in the study. I’ll change my clothes first. I’ll be there
soon!”
Melanie 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 Melanie 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, Melanie 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?”
Melanie 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. Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
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 Mela? What do you
want?”
At that moment, Roderick was completely different from what he looked like in front of Melanie, 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 Mela! You’re just a bodyguard who protects her. Know your place. Don’t cross the line!”
Hearing this, Darrin blinked a little.
Darrin said, “I know what I’m supposed to do. But I wonder how come 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, “How come?
“Because I’m the father of her kids!”
Hearing this, Darrin froze for a moment but soon, he regained his composure.
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 Mela get pregnant so easily?”
Darrin said fiercely, “You! You planned it seven years ago!
“You approached her on purpose. You’ve been lying to her. What do you want to do?”
Darrin leaned forward and launched an attack on Roderick’s face with both of his
hands.
But before Darrin could get close to Roderick, the two tall men in black suddenly appeared again like ghosts!
Darrin had a physical fight with the two men in black again.
After Melanie changed her clothes, she walked out of the room and saw the three of them fighting with each other.
Melanie shouted, “Stop it! What are you doing?”
Hearing Melanie, the two men in black who were fighting with Darrin immediately stopped and retreated to Roderick.
But Darrin rushed to Roderick, looking unwilling to

Melanie raised her voice and shouted, “Darrin, get out of here!”
Melanie knew that the last 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.
Melanie 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!”
Melanie said, “Darrin, you’re imagining things! He’s Ethan’s father!”
Melanie frowned. She thought that Darrin had changed a lot. He talked more and acted strangely.
Melanie saw clearly just now that although Darrin was fighting with the two men in black, his target was always Roderick!
Melanie was a little bit confused. She didn’t understand why Roderick and Darrin became enemies just after she changed her clothes.
