Chapter 328
Emmanuel heartlessly shrugged off Abellyn’s hand and said, “The security in
this area has always been good, so don’t worry. I’ll leave now. I’ll come to pick
Tommy up tomorrow.”
In truth, he wanted to take Tommy with him today, but he hadn’t discussed it
with his mother yet. The main reason was that he was afraid his mother
would ask about Mackenzie, so he wanted to take some time to figure out
how to approach the topic. I will come to pick up Tommy early tomorrow
morning, anyway. Blood is thicker than water. Although Abellyn doesn’t treat
Tommy well, I believe she won’t do anything to harm him.
As soon as he left, Abellyn coldly snorted and muttered, “What a fool!” Then,
she quickly called Chloe.
After hearing what she said, Chloe replied coldly, “That man sure loves to
meddle, but even if Ryder wakes up, as long as you shut Tommy’s mouth,
nothing he does will matter.”
“Didn’t you say that Tommy is not yet six years old, so his words can’t be used
as evidence?” Abellyn quickly asked.
“Don’t be naive, Abellyn. A stitch in time saves nine. Get it?” Chloe continued
giving her a lecture. “In any case, don’t let that man see Tommy. And don’t let
him enter the house, either. Since he no longer has his wife, he’s only left with
his brute strength. He can’t do anything.”
“Okay. I get it.” Abellyn quickly agreed.
Meanwhile, Emmanuel had already left Ryder’s house on an electric scooter.
After the Cadigan family’s affairs were settled and Jamison was sent to
prison for theft, Alessandra returned to her own home. Although the house
provided by Mackenzie was beautiful, she still couldn’t get used to it, and
nowhere else was as comfortable as her home.
Emmanuel thought for a moment and decided to drive back home. Although
Terence had scolded him last night and advised him not to leave Mackenzie
so rashly, he still hadn’t considered actively seeking reconciliation.
The truth is going to come out sooner or later. I’ll need to face it anyway. He
decided to confess everything to Alessandra. Since Roselynn has gotten
married, I guess Mom should be more resilient now.
“Manny? Why are you here?” Seeing him return home, Alessandra was
pleasantly surprised and looked outside the door. It was apparent that she
was searching for her daughter–in–law’s figure.
When Emmanuel saw that, he felt even more pressured.
Sure enough, his mother immediately asked, “Where is Mackenzie? Didn’t she
come back with you?”
When he met her hopeful eyes, he sighed inwardly, saying, “Mackenzie and I
got divorced.”
“What?!” At once, her body weakened.
“Mom!” Emmanuel didn’t expect her reaction to be this intense. Immediately,
he supported her.
Fortunately, he was a doctor and experienced in handling such emergencies.
After he helped her to sit down and pressed on her acupuncture point, her
condition finally stabilized.
“What happened, Manny? Didn’t you just go to Flower Mountain for your
honeymoon with Roselynn and her husband? How come less than a week
later, you’re already divorced?” It was understandable that she couldn’t bear
this blow, as she had been thinking about having a grandchild as soon as
possible, but it was the news of her son’s divorce that she received instead.
No one could endure that.
At her question, Emmanuel didn’t know what to say, and he was also angry.
I’ve shielded her from a knife and sucked out her poisoned blood, but in the
end, all I receive is an inexplicable tantrum and a divorce notice from the icy.
woman. Although he didn’t believe it was his fault, he wasn’t the type of
person who liked to blame others, so he chose silence.
“Speak up, Manny! Do you want to see me die from anger?” Alessandra
became anxious and, for the first time, wanted to kick him. He can be as
stubborn as a mule sometimes!
