Chapter 575
“I–It’s nothing. I’ll let you get back to work. We’ll talk about this when we meet
up during the festivities,” Ryder stammered and hesitated, unable to express
himself.
Suddenly, Alessandra grabbed the phone from Emmanuel before he could
hang up and said, “Ryder, why don’t you spend the new year with us this
year? You don’t have a wife now.”
“A–Ah, Mother, wouldn’t we be bothering you then?” Though he now
addressed her as “Mother,” Ryder understood he was not her biological son.
He worried Emmanuel’s wife wouldn’t want him and Tommy over for New
Year’s Day.
“Why would you? You call me ‘Mother,‘ so I should treat you like my son and
Tommy like my grandson. Anyway, Mackenzie said she would only be back
for one day. I’ll have no one with me for the rest of the holiday! Is that so?
Very well then.” After hearing that, he decided to agree.
“Since you’re now divorced, I must find you a new wife. The New Year
festivities are the best time for matchmaking.”
At this moment, Emmanuel was reminded of his “horrible and miserable” past
when he overheard Alessandra talking about matchmaking. I’ve had 18 failed
matchmaking dates in a row, so I hope Ryder doesn’t break that record.
On the other end of the call, Ryder’s heart filled with anticipation when he
heard what she said. He had long since envied Emmanuel for meeting
Mackenzie through matchmaking. With that marriage as a model of success,
Ryder aspired to be successful in matchmaking and marry someone like her.
He knew he wasn’t as good a catch as Emmanuel, and he was willing to
settle for a woman who was ten times worse than Mackenzie if it meant she
was better than Abellyn.
After returning the phone to Emmanuel, Alessandra picked up her phone and
appeared to be about to start setting up dates for Ryder.
“Are you calling the matchmaker again?” Roselynn chimed in, and it was
evident that she had overheard the call that had been going on between the
two of them and Ryder.
On the other hand, Emmanuel also assumed his mother would contact the
matchmaker.
To his surprise, Alessandra shook her head and replied, “No. I’m going to call
Milani’s mother.”
“Huh?”
