Looking at Heidi’s and Nathan’s cold expressions, a flash of respect and fear instinctively flashed across Rodney’s eyes.
Ever since Nathan and Heidi became the prime minister and first lady, they became increasingly dignified. Meanwhile, things were getting worse for Rodney. At that point, he was too embarrassed to look into his uncle’s and aunt’s eyes.
“Aunty Heidi, I didn’t mean that-” Rodney explained in a low voice.
Nathan asked coldly, “Didn’t your dad say he’s going to send you abroad?”
“I-I don’t want to go abroad.” Rodney lowered his head. “I can’t bear to part with Dani.”
Heidi chuckled. “You could bear to part with her back then, yet now you can’t.”
“Uncle Nathan, Aunty Heidi, go ahead and criticize me. I know it’s all my fault.” Rodney abandoned himself to despair. “I’ll stay in Australia to look after Dani.”
“Rodney, taking care of Dani isn’t just about making sure she eats or sleeps well. She learns from her parents how to behave and think, yet your behavior is problematic. What makes you qualified to bring up a child?” Heidi criticized him bluntly. “You want her to be like you when she grows up, huh?”
“I… I’ll change my ways,” Rodney replied with a blush of shame.
Heidi scoffed. “How will you change? You’ve lost your job and reputation. Your dad wants you to go abroad so that you can have a change of environment and start afresh, but all you do now is pester your ex-wife and child. How much money are you left with? Are you planning to live off others for the rest of your life?”
Rodney gnashed his teeth, unable to bring himself to listen to it anymore. What had he done to deserve to be lectured by Ryan and Heidi? “Aunty Heidi, you have no right to say such things to me. I know my business very well. As for… Dani, it’s my family affair.”
What he meant was that Heidi had no right to have a hand in it.
?
It had been a while since Heidi received such a slap in the face. She flew into a fit of rage.” Yes, it’s your family affair, but Mireya is my goddaughter. Please leave our house right now.”
As soon as she finished speaking, a few bodyguards behind her dragged Rodney out of The Lodge.
Heidi warned, “Remember him. I don’t want him in The Lodge anymore.”
Rodney was furious. “Aunty Heidi, don’t be a snob.”
“I’m a snob?” Heidi was driven to exasperation.
Luckily, Rodney was soon taken away.
Mireya and Ryan were a little dazed. Little did they expect things to go that way.
Nathan, who was caught in the middle, felt most awkward. “Why are you so mad at a youngster?”
“Didn’t you hear how sarcastic he was?” Heidi said furiously, “I’ve had enough of him. What he did has caused so much trouble for us, yet we had to sort out his mess. Moreover, his behavior and personality are problematic. It’s fine that he spends time with Dani sometimes but certainly not in the long term. Although he might have another child in the future, I don’t care. I’ve been watching Dani grow, and I can’t let Rodney influence her.”
Beside her, Mireya was touched by her words. Indeed, Heidi had thought for Dani.
Nathan sighed.
Heidi added, “Also, he thought that I was unaware of his motive. Only now that he has seen through Sarah’s true colors has he realized how good Mireya is and wants to get back with her. However, he doesn’t reflect on himself. Does he deserve to be with Mireya? Anyone out there is better than him. If it weren’t for the fact that he’s my nephew, I wouldn’t have allowed him to into The Lodge.”
“Alright, alright. Cool down.” Nathan coaxed her, “Don’t sink to his level.”
“Exactly, Godmom. Don’t be mad.” Mireya coaxed her too, “He’s unworthy of your anger. He doesn’t deserve it.”
“You’re really good at coaxing people.” Only then did a smile appear on Heidi’s face. “Mireya, feel free to let me know if Rodney continues pestering you. I’ll have someone teach him a lesson.”
After pausing for a moment, Heidi urged Nathan. “Advise your brother and sister-in-law to send Rodney abroad as soon as possible.”
“I’ll give my brother a call later,” Nathan promptly responded. In fact, he was unclear about their plan to send Rodney abroad.
After breakfast, Mireya walked out of the dining room. Ryan followed suit and said, “Later, I’ll get the chauffeur to send Aunty Loretta and Dani to the old residence for a day.”
Mireya was stunned.
He explained, “You promised Rodney earlier. If you suddenly go back on your word, he’ll definitely call you or go to your office to pester you.”
Mireya was extremely distressed. “For the first time, I find it so annoying to have a child with Rodney. But having said that, Dani is so cute. Saying that will be unfair to her…”
“Children shouldn’t be dragged into adults’ matters.” Ryan’s handsome face was very solemn. “I’ll discuss it with Uncle Jason later. We’ll send Dani there two days a week so Rodney doesn’t have to come over, and both of you can also avoid meeting each other.”
Mireya was relieved. “Ryan, this is the best arrangement. Thanks.”
As soon as she said that, she flashed him a sweet smile.
If they were not in The Lodge, she would surely hug him.
“I’m doing this for my own sake.” Ryan threw a pensive look at her. “I don’t want the person I love to see her ex-husband every day.”
Mireya chuckled. “Didn’t you say I’ve given you a sense of security?”
“I do feel assured, but I hate that. Above all, I’m worried that you’ll be unhappy,” Ryan said gently.
Mireya pursed her lips and looked down without uttering a word. Her ears, which were faintly visible beneath her black hair, reddened.
With that, Ryan’s eyes darkened. A moment later, he clenched his fists and let out a low cough. “Didn’t you say you want to borrow my earphones? They’re in my room. Let me pass them to you.”
Huh?
Mireya did not react until she caught sight of his eyes on her.
Something struck her mind, and only then did she agree dully.
Her initial plan to head to the parking lot disappeared as she turned around and entered the house with Ryan.
A servant, who was mopping on the first floor, greeted the two of them the minute she saw them.
“My earphones are upstairs. Come with me.” Ryan then took her into his bedroom.
As soon as Mireya stepped into his room, she was pressed against the wall. Subsequently, a burning kiss landed on her.
?
Mireya was so shocked that her heart skipped a beat. She squinted at the door of the bedroom.
Only when she realized that the door was half shut did she sigh with relief.
However, she was not completely at ease. She was still quite nervous.
What if the servant came upstairs all of a sudden?
What if…
“Please stay focused.”
Ryan’s deep, muffled voice sounded from their thin lips.
Mireya was speechless. How could she stay focused?
They were sneaking around and it made her seem like a thief.
“Come on. I’ve missed you.” Ryan gave her a long, deep kiss while cupping her face. Amid the passionate kiss, the man’s voice was hoarse as though a surge of electric current had passed through him. His whole body was numb. “Did you miss me?”
“…Hurry up,”
Mireya urged him restlessly.
“I’m asking you whether you missed me.” Ryan nibbled on her lips. “If you’re not honest with me, I won’t let you go.”
“I did. I did.” Mireya had no choice but to surrender, and her pretty face flushed red. “But… I didn’t miss you very much. I just did it with you yesterday…”
“But didn’t you tell Rodney that you were desperate?” Ryan suddenly giggled.
It made Mireya embarrassed. “I was joking.”
