Chapter 1420

! Trust My Husband

Mackenzie had thrown out a ridiculous counteroffer to test Eve. There was no way she could be happy

with the outcome of that test as it proved that her husband was really concealing his true identity!

“No need to thank me. We’re only doing business! If you’re interested, the Wolf Warrior Society would

be willing to provide you with security solutions as well. The price is negotiable,” Eve replied.

Her sole purpose was to assist Emmanuel in completing the triple-S class mission of eliminating Teddy

and avenging the fallen Wolf Warriors. What she was doing should be considered using Mackenzie and

the Quillen family instead of genuinely helping Mackenzie.

Thus, even if Mackenzie did not pay the Wolf Warrior Society, they would still vow to protect anyone

and anything that belonged to the Quillen family.

“Sure. Since you accepted my counteroffer for the place without hesitation, I won’t haggle with you.

Just name your price,” Mackenzie confidently said. It showed that she did not only have great business

acumen but also great social skills.

“It’s a real pleasure to work with you, Mrs. Lowe. We, the Wolf Warrior Society, pledge to guard this

base with our lives. If there are any problems, you can hold me accountable. As for the price, how

about one billion a year?”

Eve did not demand a high price as she also wanted to test Mackenzie.

“Agreed!” Mackenzie readily accepted the offer, surprising Eve Thompson.

“Mrs. Lowe, do you trust us that much?”

“You’re mistaken, Miss Thompson. I have no faith in you at all.”-

Mackenzie gently slid her hand around Emmanuel’s arm and continued, “I trust my husband. I trust

anyone whom he trusts!”

Huh? Eve was taken aback by the sudden display of affection. She nearly froze in shock. It took a while

before she reacted by bursting into laughter.

Emmanuel was also surprised. He awkwardly scratched the back of his head as the fear that Eve

would tease and mock him for this flashed across his mind.

However, Mackenzie solemnly looked on. She had spoken from the heart, as shown by the serious

tone of voice she used while she made her declaration.

“Well, Mackenzie, now that you own this property, let me show you around upstairs. It’s a very pleasant

place. Do you think it can be converted into an office?”

Just then, Emmanuel changed the subject.

“Sure. I could use a seat right now,” Mackenzie replied with a nod. She was quite fatigued indeed. Now

that she knew of the baby in her, she would be more cautious and refrain from overexerting herself.

Work-life balance is essential!

Emmanuel escorted Mackenzie up to the third floor.

As they walked, Mackenzie gently linked arms with him. He did not think much of it as he assumed she

was merely exhausted.

“Mackenzie, have a seat. I will have someone bring you a glass of water and some snacks.”

Emmanuel is quite a considerate husband. Mackenzie nodded in response with a faint smile on her

lips.

Shortly after Emmanuel walked away, nausea rose in her once more. Suddenly, she craved something

sour. Hence, she stood up and went outside to call for Emmanuel.

“Mackenzie, are you looking for Emmanuel? He just stepped out,” said a member of the Wolf Warrior

Society upon hearing her calls for Emmanuel.

Huh? Eve was taken aback by the sudden display of affection. She nearly froze in shock. It took a while

before she reacted by bursting into laughter.

Emmanuel was also surprised. He awkwardly scratched the back of his head as the fear that Eve

would tease and mock him for this flashed across his mind.

Mackenzie nodded. Just what is

She walked to the lobby an

l doing outside? Didn’t he head out to get

some water?

They were standing very close to each other, and Ashton was enthusiastically holding onto

Emmanuel’s arm. What are they talking about?

They were standing very close to each gh the glass door to find Emmanuel talking to Ashton.

To her surprise, he did not pull away from Ashton and even nodded in agreement.

In the past, Mackenzie would not have thought much of it or felt disheartened. However, upon finding

out about her pregnancy, she was also diagnosed with prenatal depression. Her symptoms were even

noticeably worse than before, especially since she had just suspected Emmanuel of lying to her about

who he was.

“Alright. Stop pulling my arm. I’ll find the time to teach you martial arts tomorrow, okay?” Emmanuel

said. He made sure to keep his distance from Ashton, even though he knew she was just momentarily

overwhelmed by her excitement.

As for agreeing to teach her martial arts, that was a promise he made long ago. Now that Ashton was

also helping him keep the change in the property a secret as well, he had to repay the favor he owed

her.

“See you tomorrow!” Ashton said as she walked away, satisfied that she had not stopped by the Dark

Night Elf for nothing.

Her Grandpa’s 80th birthday was tomorrow, and she had to attend it. There would be many people

trying to introduce potential suitors to her, so she decided to bring Emmanuel along as a shield. Even

one suitor fended off was better than nothing.

Unaware of Ashton’s intentions, Emmanuel quickly returned to the club. However, Mackenzie was

nowhere to be found on the third floor.
