Seeing this scene through the rearview mirror, Emmanuel couldn’t help but
curl his lips into a smile. “Mackenzie, I didn’t know you have such a gentle
side.”
Mackenzie’s gaze turned icy in an instant, causing Emmanuel to shudder as
he caught a glimpse of her through the car’s rearview mirror.
“What are you trying to say? Are you implying that I have a short temper?”
she asked.
“No, that’s not what I meant…” Emmanuel said anxiously. His forehead was
covered in cold sweat, and he struggled to explain himself.
Seeing the situation, Tommy immediately stopped crying and burst into
laughter. “Uncle Manny, you’re really silly. You have said the wrong thing. You
should find a way to make your wife happy.”
Mmm… This brat knew quite a lot!
Emmanuel and Mackenzie both wondered if Tommy had learned this from
his father.
They thought that perhaps Ryder had always accommodated his wife,
appeased her, and spoiled her, which resulted in the woman becoming
difficult to deal with, leading to conflicts in their marriage. NôvelDrama.Org content.
Tommy was unaware of their thoughts and spoke without restraint. “Uncle
Manny, why aren’t you saying anything? Mackenzie is so pretty. If you’re so
bad with words and can’t even coax a girl, you might end up single
someday.”
Emmanuel felt like he was going to cough up blood. “You have such a sharp/
tongue!”
Mackenzie couldn’t hold back her laughter either.
Tommy was incredibly cute. His words hit right in the heart, and it was no
wonder she had a soft spot for him.
On the other hand, after some convincing from Mary, both Ryder and Abellyn
managed to find a temporary resolution and agreed to set aside their
differences. “Keep this in mind. After a fight between spouses, it’s important
to reconcile and move on. Both of you should live your lives peacefully and
stop creating unnecessary trouble.”
Both Mary and her husband were traditional–minded and believed that
divorced women were less favored for remarriage.
At first, George thought that his daughter was the victim of domestic
violence, which was why he rushed over in a hurry. Now that he knew the
truth, he remained silent and refused to help anyone.
Ryder never actually considered divorce. Even for the sake of Tommy’s
upbringing, he still wanted to provide him with a complete family.
He didn’t go to work that day. Instead, he cooked a meal and entertained his
in–laws. It wasn’t until the afternoon that he finally saw them off.
After everyone left, Ryder decided to make things clear. “From now on,
Tommy and I will share a room. I’ll take care of picking him up and helping
with his schoolwork. Since you’re always out playing poker and coming back
late at night, you can have your own room. Also, I won’t give you any more
living expenses, and you don’t have to cook either.”
Abellyn had no objections about the rest of them, but she wouldn’t be able to
survive without any living expenses. “Ryder, are you going back on your word?
You said you would take care of me when we got married, and now you’re
refusing to provide me with living expenses?”
“Abellyn, don’t mix things up!” Ryder also became angry. Even if he was an
honest man, he had thought through everything after thinking for such a long
time.
He then continued, “I did say I would take care of you, but I never agreed to
finance your gambling addiction. Anyway, I’ll cook the meals from now on, so
you won’t starve!”
“You… You’re shameless!” Abellyn angrily cursed and slammed the door as
she left the house.
Ryder didn’t chase after her. The moment she raised the knife against him,
their relationship was irreparably broken.
Now that they slept in separate rooms, he no longer had to worry about
falling asleep and being attacked by her in the middle of the night.
As for her love for playing poker and indulging in other activities outside, he
couldn’t be bothered anymore.
After leaving home, Abellyn went to Chloe’s place and burst into tears.
Chloe was fed up too, and she scolded her directly, “You brought all of this
upon yourself. What are you crying about?”
Abellyn stared at Chloe, thinking that she had no more usefulness and that
even her sister now despised her.
Fortunately, Chloe quickly responded, “I told you to look for a better match.
You haven’t even found a replacement yet. Why would you turn against that
honest man so quickly? Even if you divorce now, it’s your own fault.”
“Chloe, what am I supposed to do now?” Abellyn asked in tears. She really
didn’t know what to do anymore.
