Love at the Wrong Table (Emmanuel Lowe and Mackenzie) novel Chapter 795

Chapter

“Oh, so you’ve struck it rich? No wonder there’s such a pretty lady willing to

have dinner with you!” Chloe deliberately looked at Tia.

Abellyn was also curious and asked loudly, “Tia, what exactly do you see in

Ryder? Tell me, did you two get involved before our divorce?”

“I… I didn’t. Don’t make baseless accusations!” Tia quickly responded, her

anger flaring.

Abellyn was about to continue her tirade when Chloe quickly held her back

and said to Ryder, “You’ve been married to my sister for seven years, yet

you’ve never brought her to a place like this for dinner. Now that you’ve met a

new woman, you bring her here to spend money. Do you think it’s

appropriate?”

Ryder was slow with words, and because Chloe had a point, he didn’t know

how to respond for a moment.

“How about this? Since we’ve run into each other today, whether you invite

one person or two, it’s still an invitation. My sister has been with you as a wife

for many years. It’s not outrageous for you to treat her to a meal, right?”

Chloe was skilled with her words, and Ryder couldn’t quite match her.

“What’s wrong? You’re not acting rich in front of your new love interest and

acting poor in front of your ex-wife, are you?” Chloe tried to provoke him

further.

Ryder turned to look at Marianne.

Men find it most difficult to maintain their dignity in front of the woman they

like and their future mother-in-law, especially since he knew that Marianne

was assessing his financial capability to decide whether her daughter should

be with him.

“Fine! Let’s go together then!” Ryder impulsively agreed.
