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,
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthis 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?”

With an entitled expression on her face, she continued coldly, “Don’t worry,
you won’t be losing any money! Chloe will give us five hundred every month
as Robby’s living expenses. I’m sure an eight–year–old child can’t eat that
much, so you will definitely gain from it!”
Ryder felt like he was being forced to eat a dead rat while being pressured to
say it tasted delicious.
Since he wasn’t good with words, he didn’t know how to respond. Waving his
hands repeatedly, he said, “No, absolutely not! I won’t agree to it!”
“Why not?” Abellyn immediately became aggressive. Pointing at Ryder, she
yelled, “Listen here, Ryder Lowe! I don’t care what you want. You have to
agree to this because my sister has entrusted me to take care of Robby. If
you dare to send him back home and ruin his future, I won’t let you off! You’re
disrespecting me if you disrespect my family. Don’t expect me to treat you
well in the future!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmRyder was dumbfounded. His dark face instantly reddened with anger.
He was so angry that he could kill someone!
However, Abellyn had the upper hand in the argument. Snorting, she taunted,
“Remember when you said you loved me so much and that my family was
your family when we got married? What now? Have you forgotten your vows
now that I’ve become older and not as good–looking as before?
Ryder struggled to catch his breath from anger.
Indeed, Abellyn’s looks and figure couldn’t compare to how she was six years
ago.
Back then, she was still widely regarded as a beauty. However, she chose to
do nothing and live a lazy life after marriage and giving birth to Tommy. Every
day, she did nothing more than eat and play poker, which caused her to put
on so much weight that she now looked like a pig with enlarged hips.
However, Ryder had never been disdainful of her appearance. What he
couldn’t bear was her attitude!
She didn’t even perceive him as a person!
And now she was accusing him of disrespecting her?
Wasn’t she framing him of what she always did?
