A Whirlwind Marriage with the Beautiful CEO novel Chapter 159

Chapter 159 

Abellyn’s thoughts took a dark turn. Then, I’ll tell Ryder that Tommy isn’t even 

his son. I wonder how devastated he’ll be! 

Her expression turned downright spiteful as if Ryder was her sworn enemy 

rather than her husband. 

Ryder’s resolve wavered after the call. 

For his son, he knew he had to cajole Abellyn to return home, yet he worried 

that doing so would relegate him to a slave–like existence under his wife’s 

rule. 

What if she pulls this stunt every time she’s upset at something? Must I give 

in and coax her home all the time? That’s impossible! Plus, I’m clearly not in 

the wrong here! 

After a moment of hesitation, he decided to call Emmanuel. 

Emmanuel happened to be driving Mackenzie back to Yociam Residence 

then. He answered his cousin’s call and asked, “What’s up, Ryder?” 

“Ah, it’s nothing. How are you doing, Manny? Is the cyberbullying affecting 

you?” 

“Sort of. My phone is ringing off the hook, and I’m receiving a bunch of 

dreadful texts from strangers. I can still handle it, though!” 

Relieved, Ryder added, “That’s good. Try your best to resolve the incident as 

quickly as you can so it doesn’t affect Ms. Quillen.” 

“I know. Mackenzie applied for leave today to help me. We’ll try to quell the 

issue ASAP!” 

Emmanuel’s response affected Ryder more than he thought it would. His 

admiration for Emmanuel’s relationship grew once more. 

Objectively speaking, some people’s characters are simply inferior to others. 

Emmanuel’s wife is always thinking of his well–being, even when the whole 

city is lambasting him. She still trusts him and shows her support to face his 

trials with him. Meanwhile, the only thing my wife cares about is the 

Sheppards. She treats me like a money–making mule instead of a human 

being!

His prolonged silence prompted Emmanuel to ask in concern, “What’s wrong, 

Ryder?” 

Ryder eventually stammered, “N–Nothing. Well, erm, I didn’t agree to bring 

Robby into the family, so Abellyn had a massive argument with me. She even 

threatened to divorce me and ran to her sister’s place. Should I go there and 

coax her to come home?”

Emmanuel was exasperated at his cousin’s dilemma. 

Still, he knew he could not outright convince Ryder to divorce Abellyn. He only 

advised, “Coaxing your wife is natural, but Ryder, think of your bottom line! 

Don’t do something you’ll regret for the rest of your life in your bid to get her 

to come home. Once Robby is officially part of your family, you probably can’t 

get him to leave in the future!” 

Ryder could not agree more with Emmanuel’s advice. It reminded him of the 

dilemma he experienced when he first married Abellyn. He now faced a 

similar situation about preserving his marriage. 

Their phone call ended soon after. Suddenly, Mackenzie piped up, “Why did 

your cousin marry someone like her in the first place?” 

As Terence Group’s female CEO, Mackenzie had a keen eye for people’s
