Chapter 573

Meanwhile, Ryder admired the exquisitely decorated apartment while sitting

on the couch with Tommy.

While Tia did not live a lavish lifestyle, Ryder noticed that her home was

elegant and well–appointed. After spending many years living with Abellyn,

he was intimately familiar with her careless and sloppy ways. With this

comparison in mind, he was instinctively captivated by Tia. Of course, he was

aware that a pushover like him would not be a good match for this woman,

who was young and beautiful, so he did not even fantasize about it.

“Ah, Mr. Lowe. Have some tea.” With a warm smile, she set two glasses of the

milk tea she had just prepared in front of the father and son on the coffee

table.

“Thank you!” Ryder was ecstatic because he could see that, despite her

youth, Tia was generous and skilled with her hands. He couldn’t remember

the last time he had had such a pleasant exchange with a woman, and all it

took was a smile from her to throw him for a loop. “It’s so good, Ms. Poole!”

On the other hand, Tommy had consumed the entire glass of milk tea in one

sitting. As he wiped the corners of his mouth, a look in his eyes revealed his

desire for more.

“I’ll get you more if you want some. I made the tea myself, so we have

enough,” she chuckled.

When Tia leaned forward to pour more milk tea into Tommy’s glass, her

curves were displayed so beautifully that Ryder had to avert his gaze

because his cheeks were beginning to turn a bright red.

“Well, Mr. Lowe. There is something we must discuss about Tommy.” Even

though she was talking to Ryder, she didn’t spend much time staring at him

because he wasn’t as breathtakingly handsome as Emmanuel.

“What is it?” He was extremely anxious because, since marrying Abellyn, he

had hardly spoken to any other women. Hence, it was understandable that

he was nervous about going to an unmarried woman’s house.

“Tommy is one of the best graduates of our kindergarten, so the school

hopes he’ll help out with one of our advertisements. As his teacher, I’d like to

make a video with him since I will be on break around the holidays. It will only

take a day. Will he be free around then?”

“I see. Do parents need to participate as well?” Ryder had no ill intentions

when he asked Tia that question; rather, he simply wanted to explore his

newfound freedom to interact more with well–educated women like her after

his recent divorce.

However, she didn’t notice the expression on his face because she had

turned away to clean and clear her tea–making utensils away. Thus, his

question prompted her mind to unwittingly think of Emmanuel. Since she was

still single and had nowhere else to go for the New Year, she planned to stay

in Yeringham. She also thought it would be wonderful if she could spend a

single day of the entire holiday with a charismatic man like Emmanuel.

“Parents can participate in the filming as well. You can have Tommy’s uncle

film in your stead if you’re not free, Mr. Lowe. It all depends on when you’re

free.” Tia was visibly blushing as she replied.

“I see.” Ryder, on the other hand, was unaware of her thoughts or that she

had fallen head over heels for Emmanuel at first sight, as his mind was

preoccupied with when he would be free.

Besides, Emmanuel just got married, so he would be much busier this year

and have no time to film a video with Tommy.

“I’ll let you know in the future. It should be fine, though.”

“Really?” Tia’s eyes lit up and she swiftly continued, “I’ll leave the timing in your

hands then. You can let me know once the two of you have set a date.”

“Oh? O–Okay.” Thinking that she meant Tommy and him, Ryder promptly

agreed to her suggestion. Then, he said, “We should be free at any time

except the day after tomorrow. After all, we don’t have that many relatives

now-”

He no longer needed to visit his in–laws, and the only person he needed to

visit during the holidays was Alessandra.

“Oh? Does that mean you’ll be together during that day?” In her mind, she

was referring to Emmanuel. She had not expected Ryder to misunderstand

her words.

“Yes. Tommy and I will be visiting his uncle on that day. We should be free

after that.” There was something off about the way Tia was asking about the

date; and Ryder couldn’t put his finger on it.

“Very well. You can come over whenever you want after you’ve met with him.”

“Okay!” His heart swelled with glee as he agreed to that. He was concerned

that the holidays would be boring now that he was divorced. Nonetheless, a

day spent filming with her would be a great holiday present for the family, as

this would help alleviate the pain Tommy is in due to the absence of his

mother.
