Chapter 1045
These few words struck a chord with Ryder.
What is my purpose in life now? Isn’t it just to raise Tommy and hope that he becomes successful?
Ruby is articulate, and she even has a bachelor’s degree, which is indeed much better than Abellyn.
Although she is average-looking and has been married before, she is more than sufficient for a divorced, plain-looking man like
him.
Now that things had reached this point, he had no right to be picky about others.
“Well... if you don’t mind, I’ll marry you.”
“Really? You promise?”
“I... I promise!”
After Ryder agreed, he sighed deeply in his heart.
In the past few days, he really thought he had a chance with Tia, but after Emmanuel went to Anchortown, there was no one to
mediate, and his relationship with Tia drifted further and further apart.
His feelings of inferiority made him believe that he could never catch up with Tia, so now he was settling for second best, but he
was also at peace.
“Ryder, you’re the best!”
Ruby took the opportunity to pull Ryder down on the bed with her.
Coincidentally, Tommy just woke up and heard voices in the room, so he barged in.
“Dad-”
After shouting, Tommy was stunned when he saw the scene on the bed.
“Ah! Tommy, don’t look around! I’ll go out with you!”
Ryder was scared and quickly jumped off the bed, carrying Tommy and leaving the room.
Ruby still heard Tommy crying outside, but she didn’t care about what the little brat was crying about. As long as Ryder agreed to
marry her, that was all that mattered.
“Next, let’s see how I can extract money from the Lowe family! Hehe...”
Ruby looked confident and smirked.
On the other side, Emmanuel went to the police station today to cooperate with Sage and Ashton in handling the
case.
After leaving the police station, he went to pick up his wife.
Mackenzie also knew that she had to have dinner with Alessandra this afternoon, so she didn’t schedule any social
engagements in the evening and left work on time.
Soon, the two of them arrived at Luxoria Hotel.
12:23 Fri, 1 Dec.
࿄、 88%E Little did they know that Milani had been waiting outside the hotel gate and saw Emmanuel driving a Maserati and
entering the hotel with his beautiful and wealthy wife. The flames of hatred and jealousy burned fiercely in her heart.
“Hmph! Emmanuel, you little pretty boy, let’s see how I get revenge on you today!”
Milani gritted her teeth.
When Emmanuel and Mackenzie entered the private room, Roselynn and Alessandra had already arrived and ordered the
dishes, waiting for the couple.
“Mom, Roselynn, you’re here already?”
“Oh, Mackenzie, you’re finally here! Hurry and take a seat. Let me have a good look at you!”
Alessandra felt much better as soon as she saw her daughter-in-law.
Roselynn was speechless at this scene. Who needs a daughter when you have a daughter-in-law, right?
Mackenzie also enjoyed this feeling. Compared to Felicity, Alessandra gave her a greater sense of motherly love.
“Mom, is Mackenzie the only one on your mind? What about your son?”
Emmanuel couldn’t help but feel jealous seeing his mother doting on his wife like that, just like Roselynn.
“Tsk, what’s so special about you? It’s been so long, and you still haven’t given me a grandchild!”
Alessandra deliberately scolded her son, putting pressure on him.
Sure enough, Emmanuel immediately fell silent.
Mackenzie also had a strange look on her face. She thought Alessandra’s prickly response was not surprising. This guy is too
passive. Who else can she blame? Am I supposed to be assertive and pounce on him instead? Hmph!
The family of four was initially having a great time together, but the next moment, the joyful atmosphere vanished when they saw
the newcomers at the door.
“Mom!”
Ruby came in with Ryder and sweetly called Alessandra “Mom” as well.
“Huh? Oh, hello there.”
Alessandra was a little stunned but still politely responded to Ruby.
Roselynn stood up directly and stared coldly at Ruby. “Why are you here with Ryder?”
Emmanuel couldn’t help but ask Ryder, “Ryder, where’s Ms. Franks? Didn’t you invite her to come too?”
Ruby immediately put on a look of grievance.
Ryder sighed slightly. “I’m not worthy of Ms. Franks. I’ve thought about it and decided to be with Ruby instead. After all, she
doesn’t mind me!”
“What?!”
