Love at the Wrong Table - Season 5 Episode 43

Emmanuel couldn’t contain his laughter at Mackenzie’s childish expression.

“Do we really need to compare things like this?” he chuckled.

“Of course! If a woman marries a man who loves her less, she’s at a

significant disadvantage,” Mackenzie replied seriously. Deep down, she

worried that he might take offense or feel unhappy with her words. However,

his response surprised her. Instead of getting upset, he said, “Well, it looks like

I’ll have to love you even more in the future. Otherwise, you’ll be at a

disadvantage!”

The atmosphere in the room shifted with that simple statement, leaving

Mackenzie stunned as she stared at him, utterly agog. His words came

straight from his heart, and this time he could truly feel the love Mackenzie

had for him-something he hadn’t realized before. Of course, he also felt the

depth of his own love for her, surpassing the initial infatuation he had

experienced.

Their eyes locked, and suddenly, the surrounding air seemed to ignite. Then, Emmanuel took a step forward as if he was entranced, gently caressing her

cheek with the back of his hand. The smooth and tender sensation intensified

the burning feeling in his heart. At that moment, even the most oblivious

person would recognize that what he felt was love.

His body felt an intense heat driven by his primitive instincts, and his courage

swelled to an unprecedented level. Before he knew it, he found himself lightly

holding her face, his head tilting down to meet her soft cherry lips.

Simultaneously, Mackenzie’s body trembled intensely. Once again, this man

kisséd her! Annoyingly, though, this time it felt different from before. Although

she instinctively put up a meager fight, her body responded to the pleasure,

as if she was melting away. She slowly closed her eyes, ready to let

Emmanuel take what he desired.

However, it seemed as though Emmanuel had suddenly regained his senses.

His face flushed with embarrassment, and he quickly took two steps back,

apologizing profusely, “I’m sorry! I… I didn’t mean to!” Mackenzie widened-her

eyes in disbelief, staring at his apologetic expression. Was this man a fool?

She hadn’t resisted him at all, so why did he stop and apologize?

She was unable to bear his apologies any longer, so she slapped him across

the face and spoke coldly, “You’re in trouble if you dare to do this again next

time!” After she delivered him a stern talking to, she turned around with a

flushed face and retreated back into the room. She leaned against the door,

and pressed a hand against her chest, feeling her heart pound.

Emmanuel covered his face, consumed by regret. When did he become this

kind of person? Acting like a pervert and taking the initiative like that was not

who he wanted to be. He sighed, realizing that his lack of self-control was to

blame. It was all because Mackenzie had charmed him with her everything.

He résolved not to repeat his actions in the future, fearing that his wife would

become enraged and ignore him.

The next morning, Emmanuel woke up early and found that Mackenzie had

already risen and freshened up. He couldn’t help but exclaim, “Aren’t you Ms.

Quillen from the Quillen family? You’re the female CEO of the company. Why

are you heading to work earlier than the employees?”

She retorted, “You’re not sleeping in either! Is there a rule that bosses can’t

start work earlier than the employees?”

Surprisingly, he nodded earnestly and replied, “Well, I just worry about you.

Other bosses are all relaxed and carefree. Why do you have to work so hard?”

His somewhat foolish yet genuine question once again made her heart

flutter.
