Chapter 744
Ryder didn’t bother Abellyn as he turned to Emmanuel.
Emmanuel didn’t plan to avoid Abellyn either. He took out a ticket. “Here’s the
thing. I have two amusement park tickets, and I’m thinking of inviting you and
Tommy to go tomorrow. Tia will be there too.”
“Really?” Ryder’s eyes lit up, but he sighed immediately after. He believed that
she was out of his league.
“Ryder, don’t overthink it. Just think of it as a simple hangout. Even if you can’t
be lovers, it’s good to have friends,” Emmanuel encouraged him.
“Yes, Ryder. You must seize this opportunity,” Alessandra urged.
Abellyn, who was lying on the ground, exploded at their ruthless attitude. She
suddenly jumped up like a madwoman, pointing at Ryder and mocking
loudly, “Fool! You think you’re free after divorcing me, huh? I’m telling you,
words have spread within Yeringham. He ain’t your son!”

Ryder was struck by lightning. Tommy had been hiding at home watching the
scene because Ryder told him not to come out.
He froze at Abellyn’s announcement. “I-I’m not Daddy’s son…”
A child’s psychological endurance was weak, and he seemed to have fallen
into a trance.
“Stop talking nonsense! Scram!” roared Ryder with bloodshot eyes. If it weren’t
for Alessandra holding him, he would probably have hit Abellyn again.
Although the two were divorced, Ryder was ready to hit her for keeping him in
the dark for six years long.
“If you don’t believe me, take Tommy for a paternity test.” Abellyn laughed like
a madwoman while retreating. “If only you let me come back, he would still
have a mother. Now, you can flirt with someone else’s teacher, and then form
a new family. People will be laughing at Tommy for not having his biological
parents by his side.”
Knives pierced Emmanuel’s heart.
How could there be such a shameless woman in the world? She was actually
pregnant with someone else’s child and married Ryder?!
“I’ll kill you, Abellyn Sheppard! I’m gonna you!”
At this point, the intense quarrel attracted some neighbors and passersby.
Ryder felt as if there was a fire burning in him. He completely lost control.
“Ryder, don’t! Don’t do anything rash!” Alessandra was really worried that he
would act impulsively, so she tried to hold him back.
However, how could a weak woman like her hold him back? She was almost
dragged along instead.
Fortunately, Emmanuel was with her today. He quickly steadied his mother
with one hand and held his cousin’s waist with the other. “Ryder, if you kill her,
you’ll go to jail. Then, what about Tommy?”
Ryder gradually calmed down. Tommy would become an orphan if he went
to jail.

himself.
“Yes, it’s very likely that that’s the case. Keep your cool.” Emmanuel added, “No

matter what, your six years of kinship won’t change, right? There’s a genuine
bond between you and Tommy.”
In spite of that, he felt that it seemed more like the truth judging from
Abellyn’s expression.

Alessandra felt the same way. When Tommy was born prematurely less than
a month old, some gossipy women had privately discussed it.
At that time, she had told those people not to talk nonsense and affect the
couple’s relationship.
She didn’t expect that Abellyn would do that.
