Chapter 147
Even so, Ryder couldn’t help but feel resentful about the difference between
his wife’s character and Mackenzie’s. He felt like he had married a fussy old
woman. On the other hand, Emmanuel’s wife might look difficult to get along
with on the surface, but she was actually a warm–hearted person inside. She
cared about Emmanuel deeply and was considerate of him. Besides, she
was knowledgeable and reasonable.
He truly envied Emmanuel!
Around ten o’clock, after Ryder managed to put Tommy to sleep, he headed
to the living room. Mary and Chloe had just left.
“About time, Ryder! I have something to tell you.”
Abellyn spoke to Ryder in a condescending tone.
This was a habit that had developed over the years that she simply couldn’t
change. From the moment they got married, she felt that he was truly lucky
to be able to marry her.
Moreover, with the comments from her relatives and friends over the years,
this mindset had deeply ingrained itself in her.
“What is it?”
Ryder’s heart sank even though Abellyn hadn’t gotten to the matter yet.
Although they had been married less than seven years, there wasn’t a single
good thing every time Abellyn told him something. He had since developed a
subconscious response.
“Well, Robby wants to come to Yeringham for school too, but my sister
doesn’t have a house here yet. She wants to transfer Robby’s household
registration to us so that he can secure a spot at the nearby elementary
school. Find some time in the next two days and get the procedures done.”
Abellyn’s tone was calm as she commanded Ryder to follow her instructions.
However, Ryder exclaimed, “What? How can we do that? Robby is not our
child!”
“What’s wrong with it? Many people do this. Don’t you consider my sister’s
child as family?” Abellyn retorted, challenging Ryder.
“Well… They might be our relatives, but Robby is not our own child! Besides,
where will he live if he studies here?”
Ryder’s expression became complicated and troubled.
“Of course he’s going to live with us. Don’t we still have a spare room?”
