Chapter 141 

1/5 

Emmanuel never thought Mackenzie would agree. After all, it had taken him a 

lot of convincing to make her go home with him the last time. Hence, he 

figured there was no way she would want to go to Ryder’s house this time. 

“Let me check my schedule. Maybe I can take one or two hours out 

tomorrow.” 

“Huh? I-” 

Mackenzie’s reply was so unexpected that Emmanuel was overwhelmed with 

surprise. 

“What’s wrong? Did you not want me to go?” Mackenzie asked, eyeing him 

suspiciously. 

“No, no, no! I’m just too happy! Tommy really likes you, you know? He even 

said you being in his house will be the greatest gift for him.” The excitement in 

Emmanuel’s voice was unmistakable. 

“Tch!” 

Mackenzie turned away to feign indifference, but a subtle smile formed on 

her face while she faced the car window. 

This is weird. Why am I feeling happy? This is so weird. 

Meanwhile, both Ryder and his son were elated when they learned 

Emmanuel was bringing Mackenzie over tomorrow night. 

Tommy was so excited that he stayed up all night to wait for Mackenzie’s 

arrival. 

Abellyn, on the other hand, had been out playing poker through the night. 

When she found out her son had not slept because of the visitors who were 

coming, she began nagging at Ryder again. 

“What are you doing? How could you let Tommy stay up all night? Don’t you 

know he’s still growing? Lack of sleep will stunt his growth.” 

While listening to her, Ryder packed his things to leave. He was long immune 

to the woman’s nagging. 

Tommy, too, was putting on his clothes and getting ready to head out with 

Ryder to go to school. The truth was, he found Abellyn rather ridiculous. She 

was out the whole night playing poker. How dare she scold Daddy when she 

wasn’t around either? 

“You’re a useless man! You can’t make money, and you can’t even take care 

of your son. Ugh! I must’ve been blind to marry someone as useless as you!” 

Abellyn nagged for some time and ended with the same words before 

heading to the room to get some sleep. 

Suddenly, Ryder refuted, “That’s right, I don’t make a lot of money, but at least 

have a monthly income of about six thousand. What about you? All you do is 

play poker. More importantly, you’re jobless! If you had a stable income every 

month, do you think our family would be living so frugally?” 

All of a sudden, a switch flipped within Abellyn. “Oh? So you’re putting the 

blame on me now? What was all that talk about making money being a 

man’s responsibility before we got married? What is this now? Are you 

charging your mind now that I’m your wife and have given you a son?” 

Ryder’s anger and frustration manifested on his flushed face. 

I really shouldn’t have made those stupid promises back then. We still have 

so many years to live. No one knows what kind of changes we’ll see in our 

lives. 

Back then, his family’s finances were still adequate. But now, things were 

getting worse each year. Not only was Abellyn jobless, but she was also 

neglecting her duties as a mother. Even a man as patient as Ryder would 

snap. 

“Daddy, stop arguing. I’m going to be late for school.” 

Tommy’s words finally broke off the couple’s argument that happened on 

daily basis.
