Chapter 143

Emmanuel did his best to calm Ryder.

A harmonious family was the key to prosperity. Moreover, Tommy was still a

child. Watching his parents argue or fight would only become a bad memory

when he grew up.

To Emmanuel’s surprise, Abellyn took advantage of his words and screeched,

“You hear that, Ryder? Your cousin cooks at home, too! You’re just an

incompetent man. You can’t make money, nor do you cook, yet you have the

audacity to scold your wife. You’re good for nothing!”

“You-”

Ryder clutched his throbbing chest, finding it hard to breathe suddenly.

“Ryder, are you all right? There, there. Stop fighting already.”

Emmanuel was afraid Ryder’s blood pressure might spike and cause health

problems if they continued arguing. After all, the latter’s blood pressure was already a little high.

Mackenzie to join her. “Come, Mackenzie. We, women, should rest and let the

men take care of dinner. Women should be doted on by men, anyway.”
