Chapter 146
“What now, Ryder? Are you trying to hit my daughter?”
Ryder’s mother–in–law, Mary Winston, suddenly spoke from behind.
Ryder hurriedly put down his hand, his breathing becoming rapid. Being
naturally obedient, he hurriedly explained in a trembling voice, “No, Mom!”

Although Mary was protective of her daughter, she also knew what was
going on. She quickly flashed Abellyn a stern look. “Why don’t you go prepare
dinner, Abellyn? Household chores are women’s responsibilities!”
Under her mother’s command, Abellyn let out another scoff before
reluctantly heading into the kitchen.
Ryder’s anger subsided as he managed to maintain a bit of dignity.
“Emmanuel, I need to go back and handle some work now,” Mackenzie said
as she glanced at the time.

She had no intention of staying for dinner because she had lost her appetite
after seeing Chloe and Abellyn’s behavior.
Besides, she liked to do things her own way, and she never cared about
others‘ opinions.
“Okay.”
Emmanuel had no choice either. He knew that Mackenzie had strict principles
when it came to her work. They had agreed to leave before half past seven
earlier, and it was almost time now. There was not enough time for them to
eat.
“We shall make our move first, Ryder.”
“Oh… Oh!”
Ryder wasn’t angry. He just felt guilty for not being able to welcome them
with dinner properly, especially after Mackenzie had bought an expensive
birthday gift for Tommy while Emmanuel had brought cake. He felt that it was

quite impolite of them as the hosts.
Tommy cried and refused to let Emmanuel and Mackenzie leave.
“I’ll have someone deliver the new toy to you tomorrow, Tommy. Stop crying!”
Mackenzie was never one to beat around the bush. After comforting Tommy
very briefly, she left the house directly.
Emmanuel could only catch up with her quickly after giving Tommy a gentle
pat on his head.
As Mary and Chloe watched Mackenzie’s cold and resolute figure, they
sighed inwardly.
Unlike Abellyn, neither were they jealous nor did they dislike Mackenzie. They
just thought that she had an impressive aura and a decisive attitude. She
was truly someone extraordinary!
After Emmanuel and Mackenzie’s departure, Ryder and Tommy clearly lost
their enthusiasm. Despite that, Ryder still welcomed Mary and Chloe warmly.
Once dinner was over, Abellyn chatted with Mary and Chloe in the living
room, leaving Ryder to help Tommy with his homework in the room. She
acted like it wasn’t her responsibility to teach Tommy.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmRyder suddenly felt bitterness welling up in his heart. As someone from the
countryside, he used to think that he was very fortunate to marry such a
beautiful woman like Abellyn.
At least that was what his relatives and friends said every time they saw the
couple together.
Over the years, he always treated his wife very well and considered himself
inferior, never letting her do any dirty or tiring work.
Abellyn hadn’t worked since they had a shotgun wedding because she was
pregnant, even though their child was now six years old.
Ryder hadn’t thought much of it before that. After all, his cousin Jack’s wife
also stopped working after they got married. However, after seeing
Emmanuel’s wife, he couldn’t help but compare Abellyn to her.
Why is my wife so different from Emmanuel’s wife?
She’s not as good–looking, not as classy, and not as capable!
Despite that, he didn’t mind these aspects too much. After all, he couldn’t
compare to Emmanuel in terms of looks, temperament, and ability either.
