Love at the Wrong Table - Season 5 Episode 96

“Sarah? What brings you here?” replied Emmanuel with a smile out of

courtesy. Of course, he wouldn’t speculate about what the security guard

was thinking.

Sarah explained with a wink, “Manuel, didn’t you want to make a fountain on

the balcony at home to give Mackenzie a surprise? I haven’t heard any

updates from you since then, and I wondered if you’re too busy to make it.

That’s why I brought an expert here to help you with it. Unfortunately, both

you and Mackenzie aren’t home, so we’ve got no choice but to wait here!”

Emmanuel replied, “I see. Let me take you two upstairs, then!” He could hardly

reject this sister–in–law’s well–meaning intentions. Both Mackenzie and

Beatrix had warned that Sarah wasn’t a kind person, but he hadn’t found

anything wrong with her so far. He thought she was quite nice and thus saw

no reason to keep her at arm’s length.

Soon after that, the three of them arrived upstairs, and the expert started to

help with the fountain.

Emmanuel was discussing the construction plan with the expert when Sarah

suddenly came to his side. She asked in surprise, “Manuel, what’s wrong with

your face? It seems somewhat swollen.” She gently pressed the lower side of

his chin.

Emmanuel quickly stepped back in pain. These were the injuries he had

suffered while getting into a fight in the Lenoir residence today, but he didn’t

tell Sarah about it.

Sarah was smarter than he imagined, though. Noticing the dirt on his shirt, she anxiously asked, “Manuel, don’t tell me you got into a fight with

somebody today? Mackenzie will get worried if she comes back and sees

you like this!”

Her words reminded Emmanuel. Even though these minor injuries were

nothing to him, he did fear that his wife would get worried. Mackenzie had

previously criticized him for getting into fights several times in a month. If she

catches me fighting again, she’ll certainly give me another talking–to!

Just then, Sarah suggested, “Manuel, do you have a first aid kit at home? Let

me help put medicine on you. Mackenzie probably has a meeting, so she

won’t be back early this evening, right?”

“I do have a first aid kit at home, but it’s okay. I’ll do it myself.” Emmanuel

turned down her kind offer. After fetching the first aid kit, he brought it back to

his room and took off his clothes to put on medicine by himself.

Unexpectedly, however, Sarah pushed the door open and entered

nonetheless. Seeing him covered in bruises, she exclaimed in shock, “Oh, my

God! Manuel, who did this to you?”

“It’s okay. Nothing serious, actually,” replied Emmanuel, trying to play it down.

Sarah sat down beside him and picked up the ointment with her fair hand.

“You can’t apply medicine to the bruises on your back, can you? Let me help

you!” As soon as she said that, she started doing it.

Unable to refuse her, Emmanuel had no choice but to reply, “Thank you!”

At the same time, a Bentley entered the neighborhood.

Having long named Mackenzie the prettiest woman in the neighborhood, the

security guards of Yociam Residence would always try to strike up

conversations with her on all kinds of topics. While the gate opened, he asked

with a smile, “Ms. Quillen, why isn’t Mr. Lowe bringing you home today?”

Mackenzie had no intention of answering. Much to her dismay, though, the

other security guard chimed in immediately, “Hey, are you stupid? Ms.

Quillen’s sister is here to pay a visit, isn’t she? Mr. Lowe has to play host to his

sister–in–law, of course!”

Mackenzie’s attractive eyes darkened at once. She ordered Wally, “Drop me

off right downstairs!”

“Yes, Ms. Mackenzie!” Wally also sensed an undercurrent of rage emanating

from her. He was well aware of the relationships between the three Quillen

sisters. Could it be Miss Sarah who’s visiting today?

As soon as the Bentley came to a stop, Mackenzie hurried upstairs with a

chilly expression on her pretty face. She couldn’t help feeling that Sarah was

approaching Emmanuel on purpose. Just what the hell is that woman up to?

This sister of mine has always liked to steal things from me, but she basically

never beat me on this. Don’t tell me she thinks she can steal my husband?

How laughable! She soon opened the door and darted her eyes around the

house. Seeing no signs of Emmanuel or Sarah, she stormed toward his room

in a threatening manner.

Seeing such a frosty beauty, the expert working on the balcony was actually

scared into silence for a moment!
