Chapter 143
Emmanuel did his best to calm Ryder.
A harmonious family was the key to prosperity. Moreover, Tommy was still a
child. Watching his parents argue or fight would only become a bad memory
when he grew up.
To Emmanuel’s surprise, Abellyn took advantage of his words and screeched,
“You hear that, Ryder? Your cousin cooks at home, too! You’re just an
incompetent man. You can’t make money, nor do you cook, yet you have the
audacity to scold your wife. You’re good for nothing!”
“You-”
Ryder clutched his throbbing chest, finding it hard to breathe suddenly.
“Ryder, are you all right? There, there. Stop fighting already.”
Emmanuel was afraid Ryder’s blood pressure might spike and cause health
problems if they continued arguing. After all, the latter’s blood pressure was already a little high.
Crossing her arms, Abellyn returned to the couch and beckoned for
Mackenzie to join her. “Come, Mackenzie. We, women, should rest and let the
men take care of dinner. Women should be doted on by men, anyway.”
Emmanuel was annoyed by Abellyn’s behavior too. He knew how hard Ryder
was working for the family, yet Abellyn never lifted a finger. And now, she was
playing the feminist card. It was clear that she supported the movement.
Ryder was still panting and said nothing in response.
Meanwhile, Mackenzie had been watching the entire scene indifferently. She
had no attachments to Ryder and his wife. In fact, Emmanuel and Tommy
were the only reason she was there that night.
In spite of that, Mackenzie, too, thought Abellyn was going overboard.
Despite being a woman, Mackenzie never once used the feminist card.
All Mackenzie thought was that Abellyn was being unkind. How could she deliberately anger her husband? Is she cold–blooded?
“Sorry. I might not be in charge of the chores at home, but I never just sit
around. Besides, I’m responsible for the household expenses.”
Mackenzie finally spoke up.
Abellyn, who was feeling good about herself moments ago, felt her cheeks
flaming.
“Hear that? Did you hear that?” Ryder yelled, finally catching his breath. He
could not agree more with Mackenzie’s words. “I’ve never seen a woman as
It was one against three. For a moment, Abellyn dared not refute. She merely
transferred to Mackenzie.
What’s that b*tch acting all high and mighty for? So what if she can make
money? I, too, would’ve made a lot of money if I didn’t get married.
