Alessandra was taken aback by the suggestion. She had always been dedicated to hard work and had never considered the
idea of having servants to take care of her.
After a moment, she shook her head and said, “This is not a sustainable solution. Why don’t we help Ryder get married soon? I
will only feel at ease when he has a wife to take care of him.”
Her words made sense. Under normal circumstances, a wife would undoubtedly be more reliable than any other
woman.
Emmanuel actually agreed to the idea as long as Ryder was marrying Tia. However, if it was Ruby whom Ryder was going to
marry, he didn’t think it was a good idea. So, he remained silent for a while.
“Emmanuel, I’m going to talk to the Zimmerman family to arrange the wedding quickly. You and your sister need to find time to
help Ryder!” Alessandra made the decision at once.
“Mom, is this really a wise choice?” Emmanuel was already against Ryder marrying Ruby. Now, with the hasty decision to get the
wedding done, he opposed it even more.
“What’s wrong with it? When you were kids, Ryder often took care of you! Now that he’s in a difficult situation, is it a problem for
you to help him?” Alessandra was becoming rather angry.
“Mom, that’s not what I meant. I’m willing to help Ryder with his wedding, but-”
“That’s enough!” Alessandra had made up her mind. She said, “I’m going to talk to the Zimmerman family now!”
She knew in her heart that both her daughter and her son were not happy about Ryder marrying Ruby, probably
because they thought Ruby’s background was not as good as Tia’s. However, Ruby had been putting on a good show lately,
especially in front of Alessandra. She had said all the right things, acted virtuously and filially, and even secretly bought her gifts.
On the other hand, Tia had not interacted much with her, nor had she put on any pretenses. She hadn’t even been in
contact with Ryder for a while.
Alessandra didn’t have the discerning eye of Mackenzie and her children. She was solely focused on helping Ryder manage his
household, so she was completely blinded. And besides, the betrothal gifts had already been given, and the marital home had
been bought. The wedding was inevitable, so it was better to get it done sooner rather
than later.
“Oh, you want to hold the wedding soon?” Belinda said when she received Alessandra’s call. “That’s not impossible. but if we
want to speed things up, the costs will increase. Also, you guys have to take care of the arrangements
and expenses for the wedding dinner.”
Okay, we can handle the wedding dinner and ceremony! So, Mrs. Zimmerman, do you agree?” Alessandra was
eager to get things moving and didn’t think too much about it. Moreover, according to customs in most parts of

“Sure! Just name the date, then!” Belinda said cheerfully.
“Hold on, Mrs. Zimmerman.” Although Alessandra was anxious to get it done, she still needed to consider Ryder’s condition. She
turned around and asked, “Ryder, when do you think is a good time for the wedding? How do you
feel?”
“Mom, I... I don’t know. I can’t stand up, but I can sit up with the support of my hands. You make the decision.”
Ryder’s biggest characteristic was his ability to endure pain and hardship with the strength of a bull. However, he
struggled with self-doubt and a lack of assertiveness. It was the same even when it came to his wedding; he made decisions on
the spur of the moment, just like how he had decided to marry Abellyn back then.
“Let’s get it done in three days. The sooner, the better!” Alessandra was really anxious to get it done.
“Mom-” Emmanuel wanted to say something, but Mackenzie gently pulled him back, signaling him not to say
anything more.
As the CEO of a publicly traded company and an outsider, she possessed a clearer perspective compared to Emmanuel.
Alessandra’s perception and opinion of Ruby differed significantly from Emmanuel’s and his sister’s. Additionally, it was natural
for parents to feel anxious about their children’s marriages. Since she considered Ryder
as her own son, it was only natural for her to experience nervousness.
Due to this, Emmanuel and his mother could never see eye to eye or reach a common understanding. Engaging in
arguments would only damage their mother-son relationship.
Eurthermore, Mackenzie was well aware of two other peculiar ways of thinking. In the hearts of many elderly individuals, while
they cherished their successful children the most, they were always most concerned about the
one who achieved the least success!
