Love at the Wrong Table - Season 7 Episode 15

Emmanuel knew Mackenzie enjoyed the tranquility and assumed she did not

like crowded and lively environments. So, he found an opportunity to pull her

away through the back door. Both kept walking upward until they found a

quiet spot.

She stood at the elevated spot, admiring the scenery of Hero’s Village.

Though it was not a utopia, the environment was clean and comfortable. It

was perfect for a living!

“Mackenzie, thank you for coming!” He walked toward her side and sincerely

expressed his gratitude. “My mother is so content. I’ve never seen her smile

this happily before!”

She intentionally turned her face away. “Hmph, didn’t I promise you? Did you

think I would break my promise?”

“No, I knew you would keep your promise!” he replied, and a hint of delight

flashed in Mackenzie’s eyes. This man understands me. He continued, “I was

worried you were still upset with me from last night.”

Hearing his words, she became angry and suddenly stared at him with cold

eyes. “What? Am I such a petty person in your eyes? Didn’t I tell you I don’t

know the taste of jealousy?”

“Um…” Emmanuel was most afraid of his wife being angry. Although he knew

she was jealous, when she said it like that, even a straightforward guy like

him had to stay silent, right? Hence, he quickly smiled and coaxed, “I knew

you’d understand and believe in me. Claudette and I don’t have the same

kind of relationship as you and-”

“What kind of relationship do we have, then?” She skillfully interrupted his

words at the right moment. It was an art.

“We’re friends!” He confessed.

“And what about us?” She continued to ask, feeling a hint of sweetness in her

heart, but her face did not reveal it.

“Isn’t it written on our marriage certificates?” He was puzzled.

“I want to hear you say it!” She suddenly became assertive.

“We are husband and wife!” He said, “Didn’t you just admit it in front of all my

relatives and friends? We’re husband and wife, a married couple! Maybe in

the future, you might even be buried in my family’s graveyard.”

“Hmph! Who wants to be buried with you?” She coldly snorted and turned her

face away. She would only openly acknowledge their relationship in such a

place with Emmanuel’s relatives and friends.

However, in Yeringham, in the upper echelons of business, she dared not

openly admit it. As for why? Even she could not explain it at the moment!

She was satisfied with Emmanuel’s words today because this fool was

gradually giving her a sense of being married.

“Mackenzie, I still want to apologize to you!” He could not figure out her

thoughts, so he seriously said, “Last night, I had no choice but to do what I did…

Sorry. It made you embarrassed.”

“What is there for me to be embarrassed about?” She looked at him again

and continued, “The one who should feel embarrassed is you, isn’t it? My

family doesn’t accept you, you can’t enter the Quillen family, but that’s not

my concern. It’s all your own doing!”

“Um…” He was stunned. Her words saddened him! After taking a deep breath,

he solemnly said, “Ms. Quillen, a husband and wife are a partnership. Your

words will hurt our relationship.”

She gravely replied, “You’ve done things that hurt our relationship. Do you

expect me to take the initiative to fix it?”
