Love at the Wrong Table - Season 5 Episode 70

Mackenzie’s voice softened as she asked, “Are you angry?”

She was aware of her wrongdoings of acting impulsively without considering

Emmanuel’s feelings.

“I do feel a bit uncomfortable. Sarah and I are simply friends. It wouldn’t be

good if things got too tense between us, right?” Emmanuel calmly reasoned.

A small sigh escaped Mackenzie’s lips. She had a better understanding of

Sarah than Emmanuel, which was the reason behind her decision.

However, she couldn’t bring herself to say that Sarah wasn’t a good person,

especially since her sister had yet to reveal her true nature.

Mackenzie feared that Emmanuel might misinterpret her intentions.

“Anyway, if you’ve deleted it, then consider it gone. I respect your decision,” he

added suddenly.

Mackenzie’s lips curved into a faint smile, but it was swiftly replaced by her

composed expression.

The duo proceeded to have dinner together.

After Emmanuel finished cleaning up the dishes, Mackenzie had already

retreated to her room to resume her work.

As he reached for his phone, he noticed a new friend request notification.

It was from Sarah once again.

After a brief moment of contemplation, he decided to accept her request.

Just as he was about to explain the accidental deletion incident to Sarah, she

preemptively messaged him. ‘Emmanuel, was it my sister who removed me

from Facebook?‘

Taken aback, Emmanuel realized that Sarah was sharper than he had

anticipated–she had actually figured out the truth. With no other option, he

swiftly abandoned the explanation he had prepared.

‘Don’t blame Mackenzie. There’s been a misunderstanding between us since

we were young!‘ Sqrah continued to message, showing a great

understanding.

‘What kind of misunderstanding happened between you two?‘ Emmanuel

quickly inquired.

‘It’s a long story. Let’s save it for when we have more time. We need to be

careful not to chat for too long, or Mackenzie might find out again! Sarah not

only harbored no anger, but she also defended Mackenzie. ‘Mackenzie has

been under immense pressure lately. Please be more considerate toward

her. Sweet dreams!‘

Emmanuel responded with a sleeping emoji, refraining from any further text.

He recalled an anecdote he had come across before, where ‘sweet dreams‘

carried a deeper significance, conveying a wish for the person to have

pleasant dreams about someone they loved or to have thoughts of that

person as they drifted off to sleep.

The following morning, he prepared to drive his wife to work as usual.

As Mackenzie entered the car, she unexpectedly spoke up. “I won’t be going

to the office this morning. Can you accompany me somewhere?”

“Oh? Where are we going?” Emmanuel was taken aback, unsure why

Mackenzie was bringing this up now. Given her cautious nature, she would

have mentioned it the previous night.

“Tobias expressed interest in investing in my company. I want to find out if

he’s genuine or not,” she explained.

“Tobias? As in, the second son of the Lenoir family?” Emmanuel looked at

Mackenzie in astonishment.

“Yeah. Do you know him too?” Mackenzie asked in return.

“I just met him yesterday. He’s quite different from Quintus, and there’s

something off about him. You should be cautious around him,” Emmanuel

warned honestly. Based on his observations, Tobias appeared deceitful and

driven by lust, even more so than Quintus or Hubert.

The incident where Mackenzie had almost been taken advantage of and

nearly coerced into excessive drinking during her business meeting with

Hubert flashed vividly in Emmanuel’s mind.

Noticing his anxious expression, Mackenzie inexplicably smiled. “That’s

precisely why I asked you to accompany me. Having my husband by my side

is a way to safeguard against other men, isn’t it?”

Emmanuel suddenly felt a surge of sweetness in his heart and jokingly

remarked, “Well, I suddenly feel a great deal of pressure now!”
