Love At The Wrong Table

“Anyway, this matter is decided. If you think five hundred is not enough for

Robby’s living expenses, I’ll ask Chloe to give you eight hundred every month.

But if you don’t allow Robby to come to the city to study, we’re done. I will get

a divorce!” Abellyn declared arrogantly and unreasonably.

Then, she went back to her room to sleep.

Ryder was afraid of quarreling in the room and waking up Tommy, who had.

just fallen asleep, so he slumped against the couch in the living room. Even

after a long time, he was still unable to calm his anger.

When Abellyn got up the next morning, Ryder had already taken Tommy to

school. She got up and left the house.

Chloe and Robby hadn’t left Yeringham and were instead staying in a rented

house.

A year ago, Chloe’s husband passed away due to an accident, leaving her

over three hundred thousand as compensation. Since his parents had

already passed away, the money was all left for Chloe.

She could have used the money to buy a house in Yeringham, but she

merely rented a house without letting Ryder know because her income was

unstable.

Furthermore, she often went off to play poker with Abellyn, thinking that she

could buy a house in full payment if she managed to win more money.

However, luck was often not on her side. Coupled with her extravagant

spending, the money was almost gone now.

Robby was previously studying in Chloe’s hometown and was taken care of

by Mary, but Chloe hadn’t given her mother any caretaker fees for the past

two months. As a result, Mary now refused to take care of the child for free

and gave the excuse that she was already old. In the end, Mary sent Robby

back to Chloe yesterday.

Left with no choice, Chloe decided to put the pressure on Ryder.

When Chloe saw Abellyn, she immediately held her sister’s hand and asked

anxiously, “How is it, Abellyn? Did that honest guy agree?”

Abellyn let out a long sigh and looked a bit angry. “Chloe, he didn’t seem very

willing. I told him you will give him eight hundred every month for living

expenses, but he still doesn’t want to take care of Robby!”

As they spoke, Robby secretly eavesdropped from inside the house.

“What? Not even eight hundred?” Angry, Chloe spoke without thinking. “That

guy is already taking care of a child that isn’t his. What’s the big deal if he

takes care of another one? It’s not like anyone pays him to look after that

child!”

Before she could finish, Abellyn hurriedly covered her mouth and glanced

inside the house.

Robby quickly pretended to play with his toys happily as if he hadn’t heard

anything.

“Don’t blabber about it, Chloe! If that honest guy finds out, I’ll be in trouble!”

Abellyn whispered anxiously.

“Hmmph, that man is truly foolish! Does he really think he could have married

a beautiful woman like you with his conditions?” Chloe complained.

Then, she said directly, “Forget it. Let him be a little happier. If he still doesn’t

want to, you and I can sleep with him together and have Robby acknowledge

him as his godfather!”

Even Abellyn, who was not a virtuous woman herself, was shocked by the

suggestion.

“Are you mad, Chloe? Both of us sleep with that kind of man? Who is he to

deserve that? Even if we have to sleep with someone, that someone should This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

be a wealthy man like Shawn. At least we may be able to gain some money

from it!”

Abellyn wasn’t a chaste woman, but she thought a poor man like Ryder

would be having it a little too easy if they slept with him.

Every time she slept with him, she felt as if she was experiencing sleep

paralysis. If Chloe slept with him too, she couldn’t even imagine the scene.

“If we had a choice, of course I would, Abellyn! But look at our age now and

our figures! Why would wealthy men like Shawn fall for us? Do you think we

still look like we did ten years ago?”

Chloe’s words served to remind Abellyn of a bitter memory.

Back when Abellyn found it too tiring to work in a factory, she started working

at a bathhouse after Chloe encouraged her to.

At that time, many men would make appointments with her because of her

attractive looks and figure. One could even say her business was thriving.
