A Whirlwind Marriage with the Beautiful CEO novel Chapter 214

Chapter 214 

After being stabbed by Abellyn, Ryder did not return to work for a few days. 

He was someone who worked hard his entire life. Though his injury was still 

healing, he couldn’t bring himself to laze at home. Thus, he decided to head 

out and pick up his son first. 

However, when he arrived at the school, the teacher said Tommy had 

already been picked up by Abellyn. 

What was going on? 

He had a bad feeling. After all, Abellyn had never walked with Tommy to or 

from school before. What kind of tricks was she up to? 

He hurriedly called her only to hear Abellyn loudly grumbling, “My parents are 

here today. Can’t I even pick up my son so that we could all have a peaceful 

dinner? Don’t come here. I don’t want to start a fight again!” 

That infuriated him. 

Still, he had to respect his in–laws. A good meal with them would be better for 

Tommy than the simple meal he would be getting if he dined with Ryder. 

Since Tommy was not around, he called Emmanuel who had said he wanted 

to visit. However, it had been two whole days! 

“Give me a few minutes, Ryder. I’ll head on over after I drop Mackenzie back 

home.” 

After that reply, Emmanuel hung up the call abruptly because Mackenzie 

walked out of the office doors. 

“What? You’re going out again tonight?” 

Mackenzie frowned from where she was sitting in the car. How was his 

schedule busier than hers? 

“Abellyn picked up Tommy for some bonding time, so Ryder will be home 

alone. I’ll show him the video of Abellyn cheating on him and discuss what to 

do then,” Emmanuel replied in a casual manner. 

To his surprise, she felt something was off about the situation. In fact, she 

even suggested, “How about we have dinner on our own and I will go with 

you later?” 

“Huh?” 

He was stunned. Why was she being so friendly? 

“What? Do you not want me there?” 

Her question was a deliberate poke at his reaction. 

“Ah, no. I’m just happy. With you around, we would absolutely be able to come 

up with the best solutions!” 

Emmanuel’s sincerity was clear in his voice. 

He did not know when it started, but he had developed faith in her 

intelligence and the solutions she came up with. 

After being married for a month, she had already solved many of the 

problems plaguing his family. 

“I’m so lucky to have married you, Ms. Quillen! If not for you, the problems my 

family and Ryder faced would have led to much more horrible results.” 

His words stunned her. After a moment, she turned her head to look away 

and haughtily huffed. “Did it finally hit you? You’re a fool who only knows how 

to resolve issues with brute force, after all.” 

“Haha! That’s true!” 

He did not argue or feel embarrassed at all. Instead, he cheerfully grinned. 

“That’s good. It means my existence is to cover up the one and only tiny flaw 

you have.” 

“Tch!” 

She disdainfully scoffed with disagreement blatantly written on her face. 

However, upon reflection, he was not wrong. His combat and medical skills 

had resolved quite a few problems for her as well. 

Meanwhile, at the door of Ryder’s apartment, Chloe used the key Abellyn
