Chapter 777
“You… You’re lying!” Ruby, who had dated over a dozen boyfriends,
immediately exposed Tia. “How could you be interested in this ugly man?
Don’t think I don’t know Emmanuel called you to pretend to be Ryder’s
girlfriend, did he not?!”
Tia was secretly surprised. Mni’s cousin is indeed not easy to deceive!
Still, she pursed her lips and insisted, “No, I really am Ryder’s girlfriend unless
he doesn’t like me!”
“H-How could I not like you?!” Ryder, who had be blissful beyond words,
eximed instinctively.

Tia’s face immediately turned red, and she lowered her head, her emotions
unclear.
Even Ruby, thick-skinned as she was, felt awkward right then. She was

desperately pursuing this ugly guy, yet he openly dered his affection for
another woman in front of her!
Naturally, she couldn’t ept such an oue.
“What did I tell you, Ryder? Divorcing Abellyn was definitely the best decision
you’ve ever made!” Roselynn, who had been watching the drama, thought
she had her time’s worth when she looked at Ruby’s shocked and angry
expression.
Good thing I didn’t go shopping today. The drama at home is even more
entertaining than the melodramas in the movie theater!
“Um… I, well…” Ryder scratched his head happily, still unsure how to respond.
If he hadn’t been driven to the edge of madness by Abellyn, he wouldn’t have
divorced her in a fit of anger.
When he divorced her, he had already epted that he would never be
attractive to women again and prepared to be single for the rest of his life,
but who’d have thought that two women would fight to be his girlfriend this
day?! He didn’t even dare to dream of such a thing!
“Can you finally give up now, Zimmerman? Aren’t you leaving? Stop
pretending. We all know what you’re thinking!” Roselynn tore down Ruby’s
facade.
Lo and behold, Ruby burst into tears. “W-Why would I pretend? You guys
came to me, asking me toe for a blind date and a potential marriage.
How can you humiliate me now that I’vee voluntarily?! Sob… You’re all
bullying me!”
The tactic was indeed effective. Alessandra immediately scolded Roselynn,
“Watch your mouth!”
Then, she quickly apologized to Ruby, “I’m sorry, Ruby! Indeed, we have
arranged for you to meet Ryder for à blind date, but it didn’t work out, did it?
Since it’s over, and Ryder is interested in Tia… We can’t force feelings too…”
Roselynn reluctantly epted her mother’s exnation. Sure, Alessandra
was a bit of a pushover, but she still knew her rights from wrongs.
“I know, but I just want to be friends with Ryder! Is that also not allowed?!”
Ruby continued using the door-in-the-face technique. Being a master of
love affairs, how could she not make out Tia’s expressions?!
Regardless of this woman’s motives, she’s definitely not Ryder’s girlfriend! I’m
going to stay here and expose them one by one! Hmph!
“Of course you can! The more friends, the better!” Alessandra, being her usual
kind self, said unsurprisingly.
Rendered speechless, Roselynn returned to her room. She worried she would
puke if she continued looking at the woman.
“Well then, I’ll go cook. You lovebirds have a good chat!” Ruby pretended to be
nonchnt, even deliberately creating an opportunity for Tia and Ryder to be
alone.
Hmph, fake couple, the more space you have, the easier you’ll be exposed!
Emmanuel didn’t quite get what Ruby was up to, but he did support giving his
cousin and Tia a chance to be alone. It was a hard-won opportunity, and he
hoped Ryder would make the most of it.

With that in mind, he led his mother, who still looked a little clueless, away.
When Alessandra saw her son’s expression, she immediately realized. “Oh, oh,
there are so many guests today. I’ll buy some groceries. You two talk!
In the blink of an eye, only Ryder and Tia were left in the living room.
“Um… Please sit, Tid. Shall I peel an apple for you to eat?”
Ryder was a bit stiff, feeling beyond nervous even though he hadn’t done
anything yet.
He even felt that his hands were superfluous. Seriously, where do people
usually put them?
“Um…”
