Chapter 326


    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 mncholy. 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 youe,


    Uncle Manny?”


    As Emmanuel patted his little head, he replied, “I quit my part–time job. From


    now on, I’lle 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 evene 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 ident, 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 be an unwanted little stray dog…


    Sniff…” As he spoke, he started sobbing.


    Hearing that, Emmanuel quickly embraced him andforted 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 red up. I


    knew that ident 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 ying 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–inw 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 shed with annoyance, but the next second, she


    regained her smile.
