Chapter 572
In the meantime, Ryder was awakened by a knock on his door early on New
Year’s Eve. “Coming!” He was surprised because it was unusual for anyone to
visit his house, let alone this early in the morning.
When he opened the door, he saw Chloe, Abellyn, and Robby standing
outside. “Why are you here?” Immediately, a wary expression was painted on
his face, which morphed into a stormy expression.
It had been a while since the divorce, and with Claudette’s assistance,
Abellyn could not obtain a single penny from him. Even Zane had abandoned
her, so she had nowhere to turn, and Chloe could not support her indefinitely.
“Ryder, please! I’m begging you. Let me come home-” Abellyn immediately
burst into tears as her face twisted with misèry and sorrow.
While it was all an act Chloe told her to put on, she was sincere in her pleas,
but she regretted the divorce from the moment the papers were signed.
From that day onward, she realized that wealthy men were an even rarer
breed of people than beautiful women. Wealth and a luxurious mansion were
things that no ordinary woman could easily get her hands on. She was also
not particularly attractive and had previously given birth. Hence, no wealthy
man would want her as a wife because all they cared about was having
sexual encounters.
“Mom-” Tommy cried along with her because it was a natural reaction from
a child.
Then, Abellyn dashed over to hug her son, taking it as an opportunity to slide
her way back into the house.
However, Ryder resolutely shoved her away and roared angrily, “Don’t even
think about it, Abellyn! I’ve told you before that while I don’t care what you’ve
done before our marriage, I will never accept being cheated on after we
were married. Now, scram! Get out!”
“Ryder, I-” She had a look of reluctance plastered all over her face, and the
words were almost out of her mouth when she swallowed them back instead
of blurting them out.
At this moment, his phone rang, and he answered the call. “Hello? Oh, Ms.
cheated on him and even stabbed him with a knife. Moreover, he didn’t want
to be a cuck and certainly didn’t want to spend every day worrying about
being murdered by his wife.
Soon, the father–son duo arrived at Tia’s apartment.
“We’re here, Ms. Poole!” Ryder called out with a happy grin after knocking on
the door.
“Oh, it’s Tommy’s Dad. Come in!” She welcomed them in, and while she hadn’t
expected the man to show up at her door, she was fine with it.
“My apologies, Ms. Poole. Was our visit too abrupt?” He apologized sincerely.
He was only looking for an excuse to escape Abellyn because she would
continue to pester him if he stayed home.
“It’s fine. It will be easier for us to talk face–to–face anyway,” Tia responded
with laughter.
After leading the father and son to the living room, where they settled in, she
turned toward the kitchen and quickly brewed some tea.
