Love at the Wrong Table - Season 8 Episode 35

“This…”

“Is it finally time for an adult male to enter the Quillen family?”

“Yeah, it kind of feels like it…”

The women looked at each other. They were on the brink of speaking, yet

their words remained hesitant and incomplete.

In the Quillen family, Terence’s authority was unquestioned, and Mackenzie

stood as the successor of the family. Both of them were on Emmanuel’s side.

Although some of the women didn’t agree with what Terence did, they dared

not voice them openly.

Hannah was no exception. She knew her place better than anyone else. Her

actions in the Quillen family had to be appropriate, or she would end up like

Felicity.

That woman had taken the wrong stance. As a result, although she was the

wife of the second-generation successor, she lost all her power in the Quillen

family.

Mackenzie remained silent, knowing that every word she spoke could

determine the course of events.

“Emmanuel, I suggest you choose the largest house later.”

Finally, Stephanie spoke with a meaningful smile. “Each house in the Quillen

residence is worth at least several million. Many men struggle for their entire

lives and might not earn as much!”

She didn’t mention Emmanuel, but everyone knew that among the many

men, Emmanuel was included!

If he hadn’t had the luck to catch Terence’s eye, how would he have the

chance to marry into the Quillen family?

Hannah snorted coldly, her face full of displeasure!

As Terence’s youngest daughter, she had never had the privilege of choosing

a room in the residence. Yet now, an outsider was treated better than her. He

didn’t deserve it.

Such a man who became rich overnight would definitely choose the largest

house or maybe even the master villa left by her brother.

Or, did he want to share a house with Mackenzie?

Terence maintained his ever-present smile, pretending not to understand

the implication of Stephanie’s words. He didn’t look at his other daughters’

expressions either.

Finally, Emmanuel’s voice broke through the tension, his expression carrying a

hint of bitterness. “Grandpa, Aunt Stephanie, thank you for your kindness, but I

haven’t made plans to move into the Quillen residence.”

“What?!”

Upon hearing Emmanuel’s response, all the women in the Quillen family were

shocked.

Hannah even trembled.

Is he playing hard to get?

Very well, let’s see how he manages to maintain that facade.

“Oh, why is that?”

Terence was also surprised that Emmanuel would refuse his offer.

He had presumed that after Emmanuel’s first night with Mackenzie, more such instances would follow, and they would have a baby soon.

He envisioned a future where his great-grandchild would be born and raised within the Quillen residence. After all, the vast empire of the Quillen family was to be inherited by his great-grandchild.

Of course, he hadn’t discussed this plan with Emmanuel yet. It was simply his

wishful thinking, and he couldn’t think of any reason why Emmanuel would

refuse.

After all, who could resist the allure of overnight riches?

Grandpa, wouldn’t that be against the customs of Chanaea?”

Emmanuel maintained a wry smile, his words measured and deliberate. “I’m

truly grateful for your gesture in arranging a room for me here, but when

Mackenzie and I are married, even if she doesn’t wish to live in my house, it

would be more appropriate for us to find a place of our own to live together.

Moving into her family’s residence wouldn’t be the ideal arrangement, don’t

you think?”

His words stirred up the women of the Quillen family again.

They all started to discuss and comment on him.

Although they didn’t voice their disdain, their expressions said it all.

Who does Emmanuel think he is?

Can Mackenzie be comfortable living in a house bought with his poor

earnings?

Mackenzie remained silent, but she sighed in her heart.

She didn’t like this atmosphere, but she knew it was something she and

Emmanuel had to face.

After all, marriage wasn’t just about the two of them as it involved two

families.

Emmanuel didn’t want her to have conflicts with his family, and she also

hoped that Emmanuel could be accepted by her family and associate

harmoniously.

Moreover, she knew that most of the unmarried women in the Quillen family

knew this. They considered marriage troublesome and men disloyal, so they

opted to remain single.

These convictions had gradually fostered her aversion to men.
