A Whirlwind Marriage with the Beautiful CEO novel Chapter 651

Chapter 651 

Emmanuel stared silently at Tia for a long time, leading Tia to quickly blush 

and lower her head. Why is he looking at me like that?! How embarrassing! 

Emmanuel, on the other hand, remained composed. He could tell Tia was a 

sweet girl. Thus, he still spoke up even if he knew she would turn him down. 

“Well, you see, my cousin wants to be friends with you. He hopes to have a 

meal with you and spend some time together.” 

“Sorry?!” As expected, Tia was shocked, and it took her a while before she 

stammered while asking, “T–Tommy’s father? Isn’t he married, though?” 

“He was. He’s divorced now,” answered Emmanuel frankly. “It’s a little tough 

for him, a single father, to raise Tommy.” 

Tia’s expression naturally turned unpleasant. Tommy’s father and Tommy’s 

uncle were like night and day. 

Though she knew she wasn’t worthy of being with Emmanuel, she never 

thought about being with Ryder either. 

“If you don’t want to, then forget I—” 

“Alright!” Tia interrupted and eagerly agreed, smiling beautifully. “I promised 

you, so of course I’ll follow through!” 

Emmanuel wasn’t sure how he felt when he looked at the young woman’s 

infatuated smile. Things seemed to have become rather complicated. 

Suddenly, a voice rang out from not far away. “Manny, Ms. Poole!” 

Ryder had arrived at Tia’s rented apartment earlier, and when he saw two 

people getting out of a cab, he wondered if it was Tia. Sure enough, when he 

approached them, it was her! 

Tia, however, slowly tucked away her smile when she saw Ryder approaching 

with a beam. “Are you here to pick Tommy up, Mr. Lowe?” Tia greeted him 

plainly. 

“Yeah. Thank you for taking care of Tommy, Ms. Poole.” Ryder chuckled 

warmly. 

Mixed feelings surged within Tia as she shifted her gaze between Emmanuel 

and Ryder, sighing at how there could be such a vast difference between the 

two. 

She knew that as a kindergarten teacher, she was nowhere near worthy of a 

man like Emmanuel. If she wanted to have frequent encounters with him in 

the future, she could only become his relative. However, Ryder was also far 

from meeting her standards. 

Feeling overwhelmed, she simply ignored Ryder and headed toward her 

rented apartment. 

“Um, well…” Ryder felt quite disheartened. It seemed Tia really didn’t think 

highly of him. 

Emmanuel wasn’t sure what Tia was thinking, so he simply patted his cousin 

on the shoulder as a gesture of comfort. 

After arriving home, Mackenzie popped into Emmanuel’s head inexplicably. 

It was a feeling he had never experienced before. 

He kept reminiscing about the kiss he had shared with Mackenzie the night 

before, and a smile crept upon his lips as he quietly thought about the young
