Chapter 215
Ryder ignored his aching abdomen and briskly walked over to the door to
open it.
As he had been expecting Emmanuel, he was in a good mood. Hence, he
was smiling when he opened the door.
However, that smile turned to ice when he saw the glowering woman.
standing outside.
“Why did you take this long to open the door? What were you doing in there?”
Abellyn’s voice was as cold as ice.
“Did I? I came as soon as I heard someone knocking.”
As he explained, he hurriedly let his in–laws into the apartment. Had they
been in Yeringham the entire time? Why were they coming over so
frequently?
“Hmph! Really? I’ve been knocking for minutes! What kind of shady business
are you up to?”
Abellyn continued to grumble as she entered the apartment.
She had actually been knocking for quite a while.
However, she had intentionally knocked so very softly that Ryder could not

“I don’t have the energy to argue with you. Anyway, what could I be up to all
alone at home?”
In his mind, she had gone mad. Was she picking a fight because she was
bored?
To his surprise, when they entered the living room, a naked woman walked
out of his room.
Shoot! What was going on?
Ryder froze when he saw the woman.

When he snapped back to reality, he did not panic. Instead, he reflexively
covered Tommy’s eyes to stop him from seeing anything he should not have.
“Well, well! Ryder Lowe, you absolute b*stard!”
Abellyn flew into a fit of rage and immediately shot over to slap him without
letting him say a single word.
As he felt no guilt, he refused to let her slap him. Thus, he shoved her away
with his free hand.
She then broke out sobbing, “Look at him! What kind of man is he? I’ve only
been one night away from home and he already brought some other
woman back for s*x!”
Every wail she released was louder than the last.
George had been preoccupied with ogling at the naked woman. His
daughter’s wails were the only reason he snapped back to reality.
“How dare you! I’ll kill you, you beastly man!” he roared.
Then, he charged at Ryder.
“Do not hit my dad!” Tommy cried out.
Thankfully, Tommy was able to stop George’s charge by standing in front of
Ryder with his arms held out. Otherwise, Ryder would be suffering another
injury while still injured.
“Enough! Stop messing about!” Mary shouted.
Despite her anger, she was actually the calmest person in the room.

It was mainly because the entire evening had been developing in a rather
illogical direction.
Out of the blue, Abellyn invited them to dinner before inviting them over to
her home. That was something that never happened. Moreover, it was not a
special day.
Ryder’s reaction also did not look like the reaction of someone guilty.

meant to be some superhero? How was he able to have sex while that badly
injured?
“Put on your clothes and scram!”
As she could vaguely guess what was happening, Mary shrieked at the nude
woman.
The woman did not say a word. Whatever happened, she had already done
her job. She was already ecstatic over the money she had just earned.
Thus, she promptly put on her clothes and ran out without an ounce of
awkwardness or shame at all.
“Explain already, Ryder. What is going on?”
With the woman gone, Mary finally turned to Ryder and shouted at him while
jabbing a finger in his face.
No matter what she thought, she was still Abellyn’s mother. Thus, she could
not change her stance.
“How would I know, Mom? I didn’t even know there was a naked woman in
here. Wait, was she a thief?”
It was only then that Ryder realized he should not have let the woman leave
just like that.
Even if she was not a thief, he now had nothing to back up his claims.
