Love at the Wrong Table - Season 7 Episode 18

On the side, Shane overheard and immediately mocked, “Haha, Howard, let’s

not worry about whether Manny is a freeloader. If you have a wife like that,

I’m afraid you would go crazy too! Right?”

Howard did not dare to refute for a moment because the other party hit the

mark. After realizing it, he awkwardly said, “Who would marry a rude and

disrespectful woman like her?”

“Oh my, do I smell a sour stench? Fred, do you smell it too?” Shane waved his

hand and taunted.

“What ‘Fred‘? Call me Frederick! I smelled it a long time ago. Someone is even

more sour than sour plums and smells worse than expired vinegar.” Frederick

and Shane echoed each other, leaving Howard defenseless.

In Frederick’s eyes, it was not Mackenzie who was difficult to get along with at

all; it was Queenie who brought it upon herself. What’s the motive behind

saying that someone’s husband had married you and even hugged you in

front of his wife? The wife didn’t lay a hand on you, which should have been

seen as a gesture of saving face!

He was grateful for his good friend’s sake. Fortunately, Mackenzie reacted

nonchalantly. If she had acted indifferent, Emmanuel would have been

heartbroken, right?

It had to be said that Frederick was the one who understood Emmanuel the

best. Emmanuel indeed had such a feeling, so he did not feel resentful about

her prickly way of chatting. Instead, he felt at ease. It seems that she cares

about me!

However, what made Emmanuel feel uneasy was Zaniel. The way Howard

described it, that man seemed completely unfeeling, nothing like a married

couple. What on earth are Howard and Queenie up to? Why do they find such

strange partners?

“The old godfather is here!” At that moment, someone exclaimed.

The noise in front of the church immediately quieted down. This scene alone

showed the esteemed position of the old godfather in the Hero’s Village.

Mackenzie also thought that the old godfather of Hero’s Village would be a

dignified and scholarly old man full of a domineering aura; she had even

been a little excited earlier. However, she was disappointed at the first

encounter.

It seemed she was still influenced by the media. In reality, the old godfather

was just an old man with white hair and a face covered in age spots. His face

looked rougher than tree bark; his attire was casual, not sloppy, but devoid of

any scholarly temperament. The only thing that satisfied Mackenzie was his

deep and slightly shining old eyes.

“Hello, old godfather!” Everyone immediately bowed and called out in unison.

t

Emmanuel was no exception. He held deep admiration for the old godfather,

not only because his late grandfather and father bore great respect for him,

but also because he had received his teachings when he was young. The old…

godfather had even taught him some fundamental martial arts. For him, the

old godfather was his first mentor.

“Well, everyone, Happy New Year!” The old godfather slowly raised his right

hand and greeted his descendants with a smiling and benevolent face. Then,

amidst the cheers of the whole village, the old godfather was assisted by a

young man to slowly sit on a chair at the center of the open space.

Everyone stood at attention, indicating the high status and prestige of the old

godfather in Hero’s Village. However, due to his advanced age and being

over a hundred years old, his movements were unsteady and even a bit

unattractive. In the end, he needed the young man to lift his feet and help

him up.

Mackenzie frowned slightly. After all, with her status and position, she had

always been the center of attention wherever she went. Now, she had to wait

below while watching others serve an old man slowly. As someone who

valued time, she could not help but feel a bit impatient..

After the young man finished assisting the old godfather, his gaze shifted

downward, and he looked slightly different when he made eye contact with

Emmanuel.

“Emmanuel, long time no see. You’re finally back, huh?” the man spoke

directly to Emmanuel.
