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.
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.

Tommy’s words finally broke off the couple’s argument that happened on
“I’m not in the mood to argue with you. Emmanuel and his wife are coming
