Love at the Wrong Table (Emmanuel Lowe and Mackenzie) novel Chapter 141

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.
