Chapter 773
Ring, ring.
After a moment, Emmanuel’s phone rang.
Looking at the caller ID, he saw that it was a call from Alessandra.
“Hello,/Mom, what’s up?”
“Emmanuel, where are you?”
“I’m at Ryder’s ce. Tommy just had a little ident.”
“What? What happened? How is he now?”
Hearing his mother’s anxious voice, Emmanuel nced at Tommy, who was
sleeping peacefully, and casually replied, “It’s nothing serious. He just ate
something wrong, but he’s fine now!”
“That’s good!”
Alessandra breathed a sigh of relief and then immediately said, “Can you
bring Ryder and Tommy to our house now? Ruby is here!”
“What?”
Emmanuel was surprised. How did that woman end up at his house?
At this moment, Ryder just so happened to walk into the room with a bowl of
congée and overheard the conversation between Emmanuel and his mother.
“Yes, they came specifically to apologize in person. Ruby even said… She
said…”
Alessandra suddenly felt a little reluctant to repeat the words that Ruby had
said.
Emmanuel had a bad feeling and quickly asked, “What did she say?”
She must have said something so cheesy and shameless that his mother felt
embarrassed just repeating it.
“She said… she really likes Ryder. She said since he has strong muscles, he must be very hardworking
and physically fit. S-She really wants to… Well, in
short, she really wants to talk to him!”
Pfft!
Ryder was testing the temperature of the congee when he faintly heard what
Alessandra said. He ended up almost spraying congee all over Emmanuel’s
face.
What did Ruby mean by “very hardworking and physically fit?”
How did she know that?
What did she mean by liking “physically fit men?”
Emmanuel also felt goosebumps all over his body.
To him, hearing such cheesy words ryed by his mother felt both horrifying
and creepy!
“Well, Mom, let me discuss it with him.”

“There’s no need to discuss it. Since you have a car, just bring them over with
you!”
Alessandra’s attitude was firm.
She was worried that Ryder would not be able to get together with Tia Franks,
and she believed that Ruby was genuinely interested in Ryder.
In any case, she wanted to help Ryder resolve this issue about his marriage
status as soon as possible.
Even if Ryder did not like Ruby, he shoulde over to make it clear to her
instead of leaving her hanging.
“Emmanuel… can you still give me a ride to your house?”
Ryder was an honest person who respected his elders. Since Alessandra was
so determined, he could not refuse the instruction.
“What about Tommy?”
“I’ll ask the neighbor to help take care of him. He should be fine, right?”
“He should be okay’
After Emmanuel said that, he thought momentarily and said, “Since you want
to meet Ruby, I’ll go with you. Be prepared. She’s not a good person!”
Ryder nodded.
He also wanted to cut this rtionship off because he liked Tia.
Compared to Tia, Ruby was just a meddlesome woman, no better than
Abellyn. He did not want her.
Soon, Emmanuel drove his Maserati and brought Ryder back to the family’s
house.
Before he even parked the car, Emmanuel was shocked to find a woman
standing by the door.
What was going on?
The temperature for that day was around 50 degrees Fahrenheit, yet Ruby
was wearing a sweet and short id skirt paired with ck stockings while
her hair was tied up in twin tails. She even put on a style of makeup that
made her look so young that she was almost unrecognizable to Emmanuel!
She was in her thirties, yet she still insisted on dressing like she was eighteen.

Was she a demon?
Ryder did not have Emmanuel’s alertness and observation skills, and he was
also sitting in the passenger seat. Hence, he had yet to see Ruby.
