“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.

Ryder 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.
