“I’ve already eaten, Emmanuel. You guys enjoy your dinner. I’ll go wash up
first.” After blinking at Emmanuel continuously, Abellyn turned around and
walked away, swaying her hips.
Since Ryder wasn’t home, she became completely different from before-
more indulgent and self–centered. Emmanuel was disgusted, though he
didn’t say anything for the time being.
Not long after, he and Tommy were eating spaghetti in the living room when
Abellyn came out wearing thin pajamas. She wasn’t wearing a bra, and her
figure was almost fully revealed through the fabric, showcasing her
distinctive curves.
This trick always worked on Zane. Whenever he saw her like this, he would
pounce on her like a wild beast. However, Emmanuel remained unmoved,
simply averting his gaze.
When Abellyn noticed that, she pouted. This man is so pretentious! Having
worked at a massage parlor before, she believed all men were the same
deep down. Hmph! I didn’t touch you because Ryder used to be at home.
Now that he’s not, you’ll definitely fall for me.

“Is the food delicious, Emmanuel?” She deliberately approached him, leaning
down before him, and blinked as she asked.
Abellyn had her reasons for making advances on him. Firstly, she had never
been intimate with a man as well–built as Emmanuel. Secondly, she was
afraid that he would sue her in court, so if she could seduce him with her
body, she wouldn’t have to worry anymore. Therefore, she was now
shamelessly seducing him.
Although Emmanuel was a clueless man in relationships, her intentions were
so obvious that he would be a fool not to understand her thoughts.
Seeing that he still ignored her, she felt angry but continued to smile. She
then turned toward her son and asked, “Tommy, is Uncle Manny’s cooking
delicious?”
Tommy, who didn’t understand her intentions, quickly nodded. “Yes!”
“Hehe, I also want to have a taste. Will you let me have some, Emmanuel?”
Abellyn licked her lips seductively, seemingly craving the spaghetti. Though,
what she truly wanted was Emmanuel in reality.
In the end, the man couldn’t bear it anymore and glared at her, saying, “Don’t
set a wrong example in front of your son, Abellyn. And what is your purpose in
doing all this?”

Yet, she put on an innocent look. “What are you talking about, Emmanuel? |
don’t understand. Can’t I have some food? I’m really hungry.”
Meanwhile, Tommy looked at Emmanuel, confused.
I knew that this woman was no good. Ryder’s eyes were blinded back then for
marrying such a woman. That’s why he ended up in this miserable situation
today, Emmanuel thought to himself. “If you’re hungry, go find something to
eat yourself.” He remained cold toward her, and when he saw her snort and
walk away with her bottoms swaying, he continued, “I’m taking Tommy with
me tomorrow. I’ll be responsible for taking care of him until Ryder wakes up
and when the truth comes out.”
At his words, Abellyn quickly turned around with a panicked look on her face.
“W–What did you say? Can Ryder still wake up?”
As he stared at her, he asked, “Why are you so afraid? Are you afraid that
Ryder will wake up?”
Immediately, she trembled and stammered, “What are you talking about? I–I
hope he wakes up, of course. Although I don’t like him now, we’re still not
divorced...”
“You better be hoping for that.” Emmanuel no longer believed her words and
said coldly, “If I find out who harmed him on purpose, that person will be
dead!”

Once again, she shivered involuntarily but quickly forced a stiff smile as she
said, “You sure are... good to Ryder. I like a man like you who takes
responsibility.” After she said that, regardless of her son’s presence in the
living room, she took Emmanuel’s arm and continued, “I’m a lonely widow,
Emmanuel. I can’t sleep well at night. Can you stay tonight and be by my
side?”
“Please have some self–respect, Abellyn!”
Emmanuel didn’t know what the teacher was thinking, so after expressing his
gratitude, he led Tommy away.
“What a hot guy with a touch of maturity...” The teacher gazed at his tall figure
with an infatuated look. He feels like a man with a story, especially with those
eyes that carry a hint of melancholy. It’s simply a killing charm for women!
But despite that, he was neither cold nor wicked, and his smile even carried a
healing touch. How could a single woman like me resist his charm?
Tommy had no idea that his Uncle Manny had caught the teacher’s
attention. As they walked out, he looked up and asked, “Why did you come,
Uncle Manny?”
As Emmanuel patted his little head, he replied, “I quit my part–time job. From
now on, I’ll come to pick you up after work.”
Quitting the part–time job meant avoiding seeing Mackenzie, so as not to

face her without knowing what to say. Besides, his family’s financial situation
was improving, and he didn’t need to work so hard anymore. Also, he knew
what kind of woman Abellyn was, so he came to pick up Tommy after work.
As expected, that woman didn’t even come to pick up her son.
“Thank you, Uncle Manny.” Tommy was thrilled. These past few days, he had
been constantly worried, fearing that his father would pass away and no one
would care for him anymore. Now that he had heard these words from
Emmanuel, he felt relieved. “By the way, Uncle Manny, do you know how my
dad is doing now?”
“He still needs a few more days of rest before he can be discharged from the
hospital.” Emmanuel didn’t want to tell Tommy too much to avoid worrying
him. Also, he was researching traditional medicine treatments and would go
to wake up Ryder in no more than two days. “Oh, by the way, Tommy, did you
see your dad when he got hit by a car?” He didn’t know about the scene of
the accident, so he just asked casually.
However, Tommy became agitated and said, “Of course! Mom was in
another man’s car, and that man intentionally drove the car into Dad! But
Mom told me not to say anything. She said that if I did, I wouldn’t just lose my
dad, but also my mom and I would become an unwanted little stray dog...
Sniff...” As he spoke, he started sobbing.

Hearing that, Emmanuel quickly embraced him and comforted him. “Don’t
worry, Tommy. If that was what happened, I would definitely seek justice for
your dad.”
Tommy nodded repeatedly.
When Emmanuel saw the pitiful look on the child’s face, his anger flared up. I
knew that accident wasn’t as Abellyn described. The only problem now is that
Tommy is not yet six years old, so his testimony may not be valid. If only
Mackenzie were still my wife.... She would surely find a way.
At this thought, he sighed inwardly, and a hint of sadness surfaced. Although
they had been married for less than two months, he found it difficult to adjust
to suddenly leaving Mackenzie.
When they arrived home, he discovered that Abellyn was indeed not there.
He didn’t know if she was openly meeting with another man or playing poker
again.
As he made food for Tommy, he thought about discussing with his mother
whether they should bring Tommy back to their house since Ryder wasn’t
there. Yet, he was worried that his mother would bring up Mackenzie. I don’t
know if she can handle the blow if she finds out that her daughter–in–law has
divorced me.
Just as he felt irritated, Abellyn returned home. Hearing noises in the kitchen,

she hurriedly rushed over, looking flustered. “Why are you here, Emmanuel?”
Her expression changed rapidly, shifting from nervousness to relief, and then
her red lips gradually curled into a strange smile.
However, Emmanuel didn’t care about what she was thinking and directly
scolded her. “You didn’t even bother to pick up your son. How heartless can
you be?” Maternal instinct was natural for a woman, but he couldn’t sense
any love for Tommy from this woman.
Unexpectedly, Abellyn wasn’t angry. She just smiled and approached him,
saying, “Hehe, I was a bit busy today. Thank you for picking up Tommy. What
are you cooking? It smells delicious.” As she said that, she actively
approached Emmanuel.
When he sensed that, he sidestepped her with a frown and said sternly,
“Sorry, this is for Tommy. I didn’t consider your share.”
For a moment, her eyes flashed with annoyance, but the next second, she
regained her smile.
