Mistaken Match Marrying the Enigmatic CEO

“Chloe! Help me! Help!”

Abellyn ran straight to Chloe’s place after escaping from her house.

She stumbled the whole way there, covered in bloodstains and bruises.

“Oh, my! What happened to you, Abellyn? How did you end up like this?”

Chloe was shocked by the sight of her sister and quickly strode over to

Abellyn.

“How did I end up like this? That b*stard Ryder tried to kill me! He wanted to

murder his wife!”

“What? He actually dared to do that?”

Chloe was frightened by her words.

“What did you mean by that? Just look at me! Look at what he’s done to me!”

Abellyn didn’t try to be discreet even though Robby was around. She lifted her

dress and showed Chloe the bruises caused by Ryder.

Both her thighs, butt, and waist were covered in bruises. There were even

parts of her that had big, red hand prints on them.

Besides, Abellyn didn’t use to have a decent career, so she was accustomed

to these things.

“That b*stard, Ryder! He looked like a nice and honest man before, but he

finally showed his true colors now. This is unacceptable. How can he do this

to you?”

Chloe’s heart ached for Abellyn. She was her sister after all, and she had

been caring for Abellyn since she was young.

“Take off your clothes, Abellyn. I’ll apply some ointment for you. I’ll make sure

to bring your cousins there and settle scores with him!” Chloe complained in

an angry tone.

Abellyn obediently took off her coat and dress, wearing only her underwear

as she stood in the middle of the living room. Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

However, the garments she was wearing couldn’t hide her voluptuous figure

at all.

“All right, Abellyn. This might hurt a lot.”

Chloe soon found some ointment and applied it to her sister.

She continued to complain that Ryder was inhumane as she did so.

Robby was filled with rage as he listened to the adults‘ conversation. How

could Uncle Ryder bully Aunt Abellyn? How horrible of him! I have to get

revenge for her when I have the chance.

Meanwhile, Ryder had actually lost his wife while he was chasing after her.

He wanted to teach her a lesson, but Ryder eventually stopped chasing after

her after calming down a little and thinking of his poor son.

He didn’t want to scare his child any further, and to prevent his wound from

getting an infection, Ryder went to a clinic nearby and had the doctor clean it

up for him. Once that was done, he slowly limped his way home.

He had been worried about Tommy being at home alone. Fortunately, he saw

Emmanuel there when he reached home, who had made some food for the

boy and coaxed him to sleep.

“What on earth happened, Ryder? What made you and Abellyn fight in front

of the kid? To the point of sustaining such an injury too!”

Emmanuel quickly walked over and helped Ryder sit down.

To his knowledge, Ryder had never beaten a woman in the thirty years he

had been alive, much less his wife. Something must have instigated this.

“I don’t know what happened either!”

Ryder couldn’t help but become agitated again. “That woman was crazy! I

was talking to you on the phone when I told her to make us something to eat.

Then, she went into the kitchen and came out with a knife trying to stab me! If

I hadn’t reacted quickly enough, I would have died right then and there!”

He had made it sound simple, but Emmanuel had goosebumps all over his

body when he heard that.

After all, they weren’t talking about an enemy on the battlefield, whom Ryder

could avoid just by leaving the area. This was his wife. He wouldn’t be able to

sleep peacefully after how things had turned out.

“I should have told you about this a long time ago, Ryder. You’ve spoiled your

wife too much. Things must be difficult now that you’re trying to make her

take responsibility for the household now.”

Emmanuel knew his mother and sister had talked to Ryder about it

previously, but the latter never listened. It was also why he had never brought

it up.

This was a married couple’s private matter, after all. It wasn’t something an

outsider like him had a say in. They would have had to bear the responsibility

if problems arose in their marriage.

However, Emmanuel had to say something now that things had come to this.

“Marriage isn’t like dating. You have to spend the rest of your life with each

other. A family can never function with only one person putting in the effort.

You’d only feel exhausted, while she wouldn’t have a sense of belonging. You

won’t have a happy life if this continues.”

Ryder finally took his advice seriously.

“That’s right… I brought this upon myself. I can’t blame anyone else for this. I

really envy your relationship with Ms. Quillen. She’s in charge of earning

money, while you manage the household. A married couple can only live in

harmony if you work together.”

Pfft!

Emmanuel was exasperated by his words. Why does Ryder make it sound like

I’m living off of her? I and earn too!

Nonetheless, it wasn’t the time to be arguing about something like this. “Since

It’s come down to this, what are you planning to do?” he asked.

“What else can I do? Of course I have to divorce her!”

Ryder could fortunately still think rationally. That woman stabbed me and told

me never to fall asleep or she’ll kill me!

Even though he wasn’t quite ready to let go of her, there wasn’t anything else

he could do besides getting divorced.

“You’d better think it through, Ryder. It’s best if you divorce her. Tommy can’t

be living with a woman like that!”

Emmanuel was saying that for the sake of Tommy. Abellyn would only play

poker and enjoy a lazy life. She didn’t know how to earn money, nor did she

know how to take care of her child. Tommy would only starve to death if he

lived with her.

“I got it. This is where I draw the line. Let’s talk about it again when she comes

back.”

Ryder heaved a long sigh, and it seemed like he had gotten ten years older in

an instant. Even though he didn’t want his son to end up with a single parent,

he had no other choice left.

Bitterness filled Emmanuel’s heart when he saw the dilemma Ryder was in.

Ryder has such a bad relationship with Abellyn, yet he’s feeling so upset

talking about their divorce. I wonder if it’ll be the same when I get divorced

from Mackenzie.

It was already ten thirty at night. Mackenzie gave Emmanuel a call when she

noticed he had not gone home.

“Hey, why aren’t you home yet when it’s already so late at night?”

Emmanuel was actually quite happy to hear her complain.

Ryder was envious of him. How he wished his wife would do the same to him.

Just once was enough. The way he saw it, complaints like this meant that

love existed in their relationship.

“Ms- No. Mackenzie, something’s happened to Ryder, so I’m having a drink

with him. I can’t drive home myself,” Emmanuel explained.

“What a fool! Just call me whatever you want from now on. It’s awkward to

have you change the way you address me so forcefully,” Mackenzie said,

feeling odd.

Emmanuel was stunned to hear that, but he quickly replied, “Okay, Darling!”

His words left the woman stunned this time, and her heart skipped a beat.
