Chapter 745
“Tommy! Tommy!” Ryder quickly returned to the room and noticed that
something was wrong with Tommy.
He quickly hugged the boy. “Don’t listen to your mother. No, I mean, don’t
listen to that woman. She’s driving a wedge between us. She’s up to
something bad.”
Tommy nodded, but his eyes were slightly red. That night, Alessandra stayed
at Ryder’s house to keep them company.
She also gave Ryder some advice, telling him to take the initiative tomorrow
because it was difficult to encounter a decent girl like Tia.
Emmanuel, on the other hand, went to the company at 8 p.m. to pick
Mackenzie up. He briefly told her about what happened today.
“That Abellyn Sheppard might’ve spread the rumors intentionally.” Mackenzie

paternity test to confirm that Tommy is Ryder’s biological son.”
He smiled at her.
“Why are you smiling at me like that?” She glared at him, pretending to be
annoyed.
“We’re sharing the same thought,” he explained.
She pretended to be aloof and turned her face away, muttering to herself,
“You mean we have a telepathic connection, right?”
“Isn’t that great?” He laughed heartily.
Mackenzie grumbled inwardly, This fool seems to be getting more and more
presumptuous in front of me. How annoying!
“By the way, Mackenzie, tomorrow is Saturday. May I ask you a favor?”
Emmanuel suddenly became serious. “It’s to help Ryder get closer to Tia. I’ve
invited them to the amusement park tomorrow.”
“A double date?” The intelligent Mackenzie managed to guess that it was a
double date. On the contrary, Rhea had to look it up to know that a double
date was actually a thing.
“Yeah.” He nodded, impressed by his wife’s intelligence. He didn’t realize she
wasn’t as emotionally clueless as he was.
“Unfortunately, I’m not available tomorrow. So, you might have to invite
someone else.”
This time, Mackenzie didn’t guess correctly. She thought he wanted the two of
them to go together, along with Tia and Ryder.
“Oh, it’s alright.” Emmanuel hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
She suddenly felt something was off and stared at him coldly. “Okay, so you
didn’t want to ask me out?”
“That’s not it!” He smiled wryly and confessed, “Rhea suggested it. She’ll
accompany me, and we’ll help Ryder out.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Rhea Gomez?” Mackenzie’s expression turned even colder, with a hint of
anger.
“You know her?” He felt like he was in trouble, but he remained calm. After all,
he would never do anything to betray his wife. He believed that she would
trust him, and unnecessary explanations would only complicate things.
“I know her. I just want to know something. Did you never plan to ask me out?”
At this point, Mackenzie’s gaze could penetrate through him.
Emmanuel felt like he was in an ice cellar. His strong survival instinct
prompted him to quickly say, “Mackenzie, I know you’ve been busy with work
lately, so can I ask you out again when you are free?”

“No, thanks.” She turned her face away, activating her CEO-like stubbornness.
Why should I go just because he asked me out?
