A Whirlwind Marriage with the Beautiful CEO novel Chapter 643

Chapter 643 

“Here’s the thing, Manny… Ms. Poole wants to help Tommy film a video and 

hopes that a parent can join in as well. However, I’m too ugly to be on 

camera, so the teacher asked if you could help.” 

Ryder’s words stupefied Emmanuel. “What are you saying? You’re Tommy’s 

dad! Your son looks so handsome, and you, as a dad—” 

He paused instinctively. 

The issue never dawned on him until this day. Tommy looked crisp and 

handsome, while Ryder had much tanner skin, plus they didn’t resemble 

each other at all. 

People used to say Tommy looked like Abellyn, but even if he resembled his 

mother, he should at least share some resemblance to his father, right? That 

said, this wasn’t the time to think about that. 

Seeing that Emmanuel let his words trail, Ryder laughed self–deprecatingly. 

“Well, it’s not Ms. Poole’s fault. After all, this video is meant for promotional 

purposes, and my unattractiveness will definitely affect its effectiveness. Can 

you help out? You can film the video with Ms. Poole today itself. Don’t keep 

her waiting.” 

“You seem to care a lot about Ms. Poole, Ryder,” Emmanuel said jokingly, 

sensing that something might be up. 

“…” Ryder blushed at once, stumping Emmanuel. Have I really hit the nail on 

the head? 

“Hehe, Uncle Manny, you can bet my daddy likes Ms. Poole!” Tommy chimed 

1. in. 

“Shoo, don’t spout nonsense, you rascal! Do you think your old man has the 

right to like her?!” Ryder’s cheeks turned red, spreading all the way to his ears. 

Alessandra and Roselynn were standing aside when they sensed that 

something was up, and Alessandra went up to them at once. “Do you have a 

crush, Ryder?” she asked with a smile. “That’s a good thing. You should pursue 

your love actively rather than have me arrange blind dates for you, no?” 

“Please don’t make fun of me, Auntie Alessandra. She’s a young, single 

woman while I’m old, divorced, and look like a mess. How could she possibly 

be interested in me?!” Ryder lowered his head and waved his hand 

dismissively, unable to gather his courage. 

Roselynn felt rather frustrated at her cousin and tried encouraging him. She 

said, “You know nothing about women, Ryder. What we want is someone who 

threats us sincerely, not someone who showers us with sweet nothings while 

being selfish in reality. Your chances will come if you can touch her heart.” 

However, no matter how much she and Alessandra tried to persuade him, 

Ryder remained unmoved, burdened by his deep–seated insecurity. 

Helpless, Alessandra took her son aside and whispered, “Manny, why don’t 

you go and meet Ms. Poole today? Find an opportunity to play matchmaker 

for your cousin. Their family can’t continue without a woman, and it’s not 

beneficial for Tommy’s growth!” 

Emmanuel agreed with his mother, but he wasn’t cut out for matchmaking. 

Alas, unable to resist his mother’s insistence, and with Ryder agreeing to stay 

at home to help greet the relatives, Emmanuel bit the bullet and braved the 

so–called mission. 

Upon hearing the doorbell, Tia went to answer the door as usual. “Coming!” 

She became excited as soon as she found Emmanuel and Tommy behind 

the door. 

Since Emmanuel was supposed to film a video, he had tidied up for it, 

-wearing a casual–style suit that exuded his masculinity with a touch of 

elegance. He effortlessly outshone most young male stars. 

Tommy, a child with great mischief, noticed his teacher’s eyes twinkling just 

like when his father was looking at her. 

“Oh, it’s… it’s you, Mr. Lowe! Why didn’t you let me know you were coming? I’m 

not prepared at all…” Tia wasn’t sure what to do with her hands. 

She had no idea Emmanuel would come, or she would’ve dolled up. 

“Sorry for the intrusion, Ms. Poole. I’m here for the video shoot,” Emmanuel said 

with a smile. 

“Sure, please come in!” Tia was somewhat flustered, wanting to be 

welcoming but also reserved. She wanted to touch Emmanuel’s hand but 

hesitated. It became quite awkward! 

“Please have a seat first, Mr. Lowe. I’ll be right back,” Tia said after welcoming 

Emmanuel and Tommy in. 

“Alright.” Emmanuel believed her, but he ended up waiting for over half an 

hour. Just as he was becoming impatient, Tia finally came out of her room. 

Upon seeing her, Emmanuel was stunned.
