Mistaken Match Marrying the Enigmatic CEO - Season 3 Episode 14

After being stabbed by Abellyn, Ryder did not return to work for a few days.

He was someone who worked hard his entire life. Though his injury was still

healing, he couldn’t bring himself to laze at home. Thus, he decided to head

out and pick up his son first.

However, when he arrived at the school, the teacher said Tommy had

already been picked up by Abellyn.

What was going on?

He had a bad feeling. After all, Abellyn had never walked with Tommy to or

from school before. What kind of tricks was she up to?

He hurriedly called her only to hear Abellyn loudly grumbling, “My parents are

here today. Can’t I even pick up my son so that we could all have a peaceful

dinner? Don’t come here. I don’t want to start a fight again!”

That infuriated him.

Still, he had to respect his in–laws. A good meal with them would be better for

Tommy than the simple meal he would be getting if he dined with Ryder.

Since Tommy was not around, he called Emmanuel who had said he wanted

to visit. However, it had been two whole days!

“Give me a few minutes, Ryder. I’ll head on over after I drop Mackenzie back

home.”

After that reply, Emmanuel hung up the call abruptly because Mackenzie

walked out of the office doors.

“What? You’re going out again tonight?”

Mackenzie frowned from where she was sitting in the car. How was his

schedule busier than hers?

“Abellyn picked up Tommy for some bonding time, so Ryder will be home

alone. I’ll show him the video of Abellyn cheating on him and discuss what to

do then,” Emmanuel replied in a casual manner.

To his surprise, she felt something was off about the situation. In fact, she

even suggested, “How about we have dinner on our own and I will go with

you later?”

“Huh?”

He was stunned. Why was she being so friendly?

“What? Do you not want me there?”

Her question was a deliberate poke at his reaction.

“Ah, no. I’m just happy. With you around, we would absolutely be able to come

up with the best solutions!”

Emmanuel’s sincerity was clear in his voice.

He did not know when it started, but he had developed faith in her

intelligence and the solutions she came up with.

After being married for a month, she had already solved many of the

problems plaguing his family.

“I’m so lucky to have married you, Ms. Quillen! If not for you, the problems my

family and Ryder faced would have led to much more horrible results.”

His words stunned her. After a moment, she turned her head to look away

and haughtily huffed. “Did it finally hit you? You’re a fool who only knows how

to resolve issues with brute force, after all.”

“Haha! That’s true!”

He did not argue or feel embarra*sed at all. Instead, he cheerfully grinned.

“That’s good. It means my existence is to cover up the one and only tiny flaw

you have.”

“Tch!”

She disdainfully scoffed with disagreement blatantly written on her face.

However, upon reflection, he was not wrong. His combat and medical skills

had resolved quite a few problems for her as well.

Meanwhile, at the door of Ryder’s apartment, Chloe used the key Abellyn

gave her to quietly open the door to let a scantily clad woman into the

apartment.

“Remember, take off all of your clothes and lie in Ryder’s bed! No matter what

happens later on, do not say a single word. One thousand dollars is only your

deposit. The other thousand will be paid once everything is done.”

As Chloe spoke, she handed a stack of cash to the woman.

“No problem! I’ll do anything you wish as long as you pay me,” the woman

replied.

Of course, she was happy about this job. After all, she was a woman who was

willing to do anything for money.

Two thousand dollars for one evening was the best deal she had seen yet!

Once Chloe was finished instructing the woman, she snuck away.

Soon, Ryder returned home and made a simple dinner. Then, he sat in the

living room and waited until Emmanuel arrived.

Knock. Knock.

As expected, someone was soon knocking on the door.

“Coming!” he called out.
