Love at the Wrong Table - Season 8 Episode 33

“Emmanuel, don’t assume that cozying up to us will make us forget what

happened on New Year’s Eve when you left the gathering halfway through!”

When it was Hannah’s turn, she smiled ambiguously and said, “It seems like

you still owe us an explanation.”

She improved her attitude toward him!

This is because she knew that Terence was satisfied with him as his

grandson-in-law.

However, she and the others were not satisfied!

They couldn’t bear the thought of seeing Mackenzie gradually fall by

associating with a man like him. Their involvement in an intimate relationship

could potentially lead to the fall of the Quillen family.

However, they had heard that Mackenzie had already fallen. She had also

slept with this man. So, their feelings were extremely complicated now.

Cha

After all, whether a woman had given herself to a man or not was a

completely different matter!

Hannah had been utterly skeptical before about Emmanuel genuinely

becoming part of the Quillen family. However, she was not so sure now.

So, she couldn’t maintain her prior attitude, causing unnecessary friction.

Otherwise, if Emmanuel did become a member of the Quillen family in the

future, it would pose problems for her.

The women of wealthy families were usually very thoughtful, considering

every step and evaluating each action. They were not simple-minded

people.

“Aunt Hannah, and all the relatives of the Quillen family, I want to formally

apologize to all of you.”

In order not to make things difficult for Mackenzie, Emmanuel had to

apologize to the whole family, “That night, Claudette was critically ill, and her

elder brother, Quintus, asked me to rescue her. That’s why I left.”

Everyone was well aware of it. So, when they heard him say it again, there

wasn’t much reaction.

“Oh, I see!”

Stephanie, the eldest aunt, adopted an understanding expression, but she

asked immediately, “So, was Ms. Lenoir saved?”

Everyone’s eyes were on Emmanuel, and some even had a hint of a smile.

“She was saved that night, but she has passed away.”

Emmanuel answered with a gloomy expression.

“Oh, so your efforts that night were futile.

Hannah immediately responded.

“Oh, what a pity. It’s quite a waste for you to have cared so much about her.”

“Why did she just die like that?”

Other women joined in the discussion too.

They wanted to embarrass Emmanuel and belittle the impact of his

explanation.

He left his wife on New Year’s Eve for a woman who wasn’t ultimately saved.

Was that an acceptable behavior?

“Enough of this discussion. Let’s proceed with the banquet.”

Terence gave an order at that time, obviously wanting to help Emmanuel out.

Now that Emmanuel had slept with his granddaughter, he was even more

certain about this position as his grandson-in-law. How could he not protect

him?

Unexpectedly, Emmanuel grew serious. “Aunt Hannah, how can you say it

was futile? Every life is valuable. Furthermore, Claudette saved both

Mackenzie and me. Just because she’s no longer here, does that mean I

shouldn’t have tried to help her back then? We all have a destiny to die. Does that make our current existence meaningless?”

As soon as he finished speaking, the women of the Quillen family looked at

each other.

The atmosphere suddenly cooled down!

Mackenzie remained silent.

She knew that most of the women in the Quillen family looked down on

Emmanuel and didn’t want him to join the Quillen family, so they would make

things difficult for him.

It might be Aunt Hannah’s strategy to deliberately provoke Emmanuel and

make him get angry.

After all, who would want to add a new member who would make the family

discordant every day?

“You’re right. I’ll apologize to you. Is that okay?”

Hannah deliberately apologized to Emmanuel.

After all, he was Mackenzie’s lawful husband.

This scene didn’t escape the notice of the other women in the Quillen family.

Many of them were growing more disapproving of Emmanuel. Even Hannah

had softened her stance. What if this man used the protection of Terence

and Mackenzie to intimidate them in the future?

“There’s no need for that.”

Emmanuel didn’t understand their thoughts, but he replied calmly.

However, he already felt exhausted. Reality’s prestigious families were not as

depicted in novels.

They were even more challenging to integrate into than the fictional on
