Love at the Wrong Table - Season 7 Episode 5

Alessandra was on the verge of making a phone call to find out where Benny

and his family had gone, hoping to hitch a ride back to the countryside with

them. They had agreed to travel back to the village together on the first day

of the New Year, intending to honor their ancestors and reconnect with their

fellow villagers.

Just at that moment, a mountain bike suddenly emerged from behind them.

Despite having undergone renovation, it was evident that the mountain bike

was possibly over a decade-old model with an assortment of flashy

accessories. It skidded to a sudden stop and created a dust cloud right

before the Lowe family.

Roselynn’s brows furrowed in anger. What’s wrong with this driver? Is he trying

to flaunt his driving skills? Or does he want to pick a fight?

In the following moment, a round head emerged from the window of the

mountain bike and called out to Alessandra, “Well, well, if it isn’t Ms. Cadigan?”

The rider turned out to be a chubby man, whose gaze shifted to Roselynn.

She was dressed grey stockings that highlighted her well-defined and

shapely legs, a stretchy skirt underneath, and a fur coat, exuding a

commanding presence at first sight.

The chubby guy’s mouth hung slightly open as if he was on the verge of

drooling, but he suddenly froze-and-exclaimed excitedly, “Wow, it’s you!

Roselynn!”

“Hey, you’re that chubby little guy!” She also recognized the round-headed

individual. Isn’t he Emmanuelis junior back in the day? What’s his name

again? She could not recall it for a moment! Oh well, let’s just call him

Chubby.

Emmanuel, on the other hand, had a good memory. He walked forward to

greet him. “Shane, is that you? It’s been so many years. I didn’t expect you to

have grown so much!”

“Haha, what do you mean? Does being handsome mean you won’t grow up?

Manny, you’re still a four! You haven’t changed much!” Shane swung open

the car door and leaped out, trying to showcase his agility with exaggerated

moves and striking a pose upon landing. Regrettably, he resembled a large

watermelon with a height of slightly over 5 feet, a round physique, and clad in

green attire.

“What does ‘four’ mean?” Alessandra could not help but ask when she

noticed her children ignoring this adorable guy.

“Haha, when you divide two from four, you still get two, and when you

subtract two, it’s still two. What I mean is that Emmanuel is just as I

remembered… Ms. Cadigan, aren’t I talented?” Shane smiled and raised his

eyebrow as if anticipating praise for his talent.

Emmanuel and Roselynn were rendered speechless, while Alessandra also

chuckled awkwardly. “Shane, you’re still as adorable as ever!”

“Ms. Cadigan, while what you said is true, it’s not entirely accurate. You

shouldn’t overlook my handsomeness just because I’m adorable!” He

adjusted his brand-new attire, tapping his shiny shoes. However, despite the

newness of his clothes, they gave him the appearance of a child playing

dress-up in adult attire.

Unable to bear it any longer, Roselynn exclaimed angrily, “Some things never

change. Shane, stop trying to show off. You’ve kicked up dust all over us. I

won’t hold it against you, but you must take us to the village now!”

“Alright!” Surprisingly, he complied with her request. Emmanuel was not

surprised either, as he knew Shane very well.

He was an orphan Santiago adopted years ago. Emmanuel was considered

his senior as he learned martial arts from Santiago during his youth. Since

their early days, Shane had recognized Roselynn as his sister and used to

follow her around constantly.
