Love at the Wrong Table (Emmanuel Lowe and Mackenzie) novel Chapter 643

Chapter 643

“Here’s the thing, Manny… Ms. Poole wants to help Tommy film a video and

hopes that a parent can join in as well. However, I’m too ugly to be on

camera, so the teacher asked if you could help.”

Ryder’s words stupefied Emmanuel. “What are you saying? You’re Tommy’s

dad! Your son looks so handsome, and you, as a dad—”

He paused instinctively.

The issue never dawned on him until this day. Tommy looked crisp and

handsome, while Ryder had much tanner skin, plus they didn’t resemble

each other at all.

People used to say Tommy looked like Abellyn, but even if he resembled his

mother, he should at least share some resemblance to his father, right? That

said, this wasn’t the time to think about that.

Seeing that Emmanuel let his words trail, Ryder laughed self–deprecatingly.

“Well, it’s not Ms. Poole’s fault. After all, this video is meant for promotional

purposes, and my unattractiveness will definitely affect its effectiveness. Can

you help out? You can film the video with Ms. Poole today itself. Don’t keep

her waiting.”

“You seem to care a lot about Ms. Poole, Ryder,” Emmanuel said jokingly,

sensing that something might be up.

“…” Ryder blushed at once, stumping Emmanuel. Have I really hit the nail on

the head?

“Hehe, Uncle Manny, you can bet my daddy likes Ms. Poole!” Tommy chimed

1. in.

“Shoo, don’t spout nonsense, you rascal! Do you think your old man has the

right to like her?!” Ryder’s cheeks turned red, spreading all the way to his ears.

Alessandra and Roselynn were standing aside when they sensed that

something was up, and Alessandra went up to them at once. “Do you have a

crush, Ryder?” she asked with a smile. “That’s a good thing. You should pursue

your love actively rather than have me arrange blind dates for you, no?”

“Please don’t make fun of me, Auntie Alessandra. She’s a young, single

woman while I’m old, divorced, and look like a mess. How could she possibly

be interested in me?!” Ryder lowered his head and waved his hand

dismissively, unable to gather his courage.

Roselynn felt rather frustrated at her cousin and tried encouraging him. She

said, “You know nothing about women, Ryder. What we want is someone who

like when his father was looking at her.

“Oh, it’s… it’s you, Mr. Lowe! Why didn’t you let me know you were coming? I’m

not prepared at all…” Tia wasn’t sure what to do with her hands.

She had no idea Emmanuel would come, or she would’ve dolled up.

“Sorry for the intrusion, Ms. Poole. I’m here for the video shoot,” Emmanuel said

with a smile.

“Sure, please come in!” Tia was somewhat flustered, wanting to be

welcoming but also reserved. She wanted to touch Emmanuel’s hand but

hesitated. It became quite awkward!

“Please have a seat first, Mr. Lowe. I’ll be right back,” Tia said after welcoming

Emmanuel and Tommy in.

“Alright.” Emmanuel believed her, but he ended up waiting for over half an

hour. Just as he was becoming impatient, Tia finally came out of her room.

Upon seeing her, Emmanuel was stunned.
