Triplet Mommy’s Triumphant Return by Quinn Hart

Chapter 82

‘What in the world is going on?‘ Melanie 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. Melanie glared at Ethan and Elias and greeted Darrin, “Come here, Darrin! There’s your favorite beef!” Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Hearing this, Darrin glanced at Roderick and touched Ethan’s head affectionately. “Ethan is right. I ignored his feelings before.”

Then he looked at Melanie 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 Villa, and everyone rarely cooked at home. Occasionally, 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, Melanie 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, Melanie glanced at Roderick and found that the man stared at her.

Therefore, Melanie blushed. She rolled her eyes at Roderick angrily and said, “Why are you looking at me like this? Eat your dinner.”

“Mela, I love beef, too,” the man said weakly.

“What?” Melanie was puzzled for a moment. “Do you like beef?”

“Yeah, I love beef too, Roderick said again while looking pitiful and stressed the last word.

This time, Melanie finally understood that Roderick was jealous of Darrin because she remembered that Darrin was fond of beef.

“Okay. You can have all the beef,” Melanie said. She angrily put some beef on Roderick’s plate. “Let’s eat.”

Roderick probably didn’t expect that he would get this reward by playing coy with Melanie. 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, Melanie 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. Melanie 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 Melanie 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 the last time she saw Elias hold a lollipop anytime.

This was big news.

Melanie 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, Melanie silently watched Roderick take care of Ethan and Elias, play 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, Melanie 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 Melanie 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 Melanie goodnight, and no one would look at her silently when she was asleep.

Steve was helpless.

After Vanessa became a member of Melanie’s family, Steve preferred Vanessa. Although Steve ensured that Melanie’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 Melanie, “Don’t forget you’re older than Vanessa. You’ll be generous to give it to her, right?”

Vanessa also craved that necklace. Melanie had never thought about giving Vanessa what she had received from her mother.

However, Vanessa had been interested in the necklace since she became Melanie’s half–sister. When she asked for it later, Melanie found it hard to refuse and said that she would lend it to Vanessa on her 16th birthday.

But unexpectedly, the necklace was given away and never returned.

Thinking of this, Melanie 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..

Melanie doubted that Vanessa was instigated by Tracy.

However, Melanie couldn’t figure out any possible reason.

Perhaps it was only because of the great value of the necklace.

Or, it might have something to do with the words on the necklace. She wondered if Tracy knew that there were the words “Thousand Snow Mountains” on it.

“Thousand Snow Mountains.” Thinking of this, Melanie blurted these words.

She thought, ‘Why exactly did Mom carve these words on the necklace? How could it be related to Thousand Snowy Mountains?

Are they the same painting?

‘Or would they refer to the same thing?”

As Melanie 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 necklace. Then, the three words turned to Thousand Snowy Mountains and were covered by blood.

After a while, Vanessa rushed to her in red and laughed wildly, followed by Tracy with a ferocious face..

Melanie 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, “Mela, it’s me.”

Melanie trembled abruptly, frightened. She finally got rid of the nightmare. She opened her eyes wide and found it dark in the room.

“Is the
