The night passed silently.
Early the next morning, Emmanuel was about to drive Mackenzie to work when Terence had long been
waiting, impeding him in the front hall. Upon seeing Emmanuel, he beckoned the latter over.
âHow did it go? Did you succeed last night?â The old man had a mischievous look, thinking he had
provided some support in the right direction.
Emmanuel just scratched his head and smiled awkwardly, making Terence so upset that he kicked
Emmanuelâs calf, scolding, âYou rascal⦠Iâll kick you to death! How long are you going to keep me
waiting?!â
Emmanuel didnât dare to hide or escape, and before Mackenzie had walked out of the front yard, he
quickly assured the elder, âItâs not that Iâm a coward! When the time is right, Iâll definitely do it! Grandpa,
trust me!â
With that, he hurriedly made his escape.
âThis brat is really all talk and no action! Heâs so tall and looks so capable, but heâs actually so useless!
Heâs driving me crazy!â Terence, when he got angry, had a bit of a childlike demeanor.
Alfred was watching on the side, holding back his laughter.
Hannah didnât leave with her sisters last night but instead slept over. She had discussed with her
sisters that they needed to find a way to get Emmanuel to leave Mackenzie. Only then could they help
Mackenzie find a better husband.
After the recent turmoil, they understood how crucial alliances between elite families were. Mackenzieâs
marriage was not just about her; it belonged to the entire family.
Seeing Terence and Emmanuel talking and joking, she knew that her father truly wanted to welcome
Emmanuel into the Quillen family. So, she needed to accelerate her actions.
Hannah secretly followed Emmanuel out of the front yard. Because of the distance, Emmanuel didnât
pay much attention to her and quickly reached his car.
Mackenzie was already in the car. When Emmanuel got into the driverâs seat, she gently asked,
âGrandpa scolded you again?â
Emmanuel instantly felt a bit awkward. He smiled and nodded.
Mackenzie said nothing more, her mind heavy. She had been saved by two men in her life-one was the
fool sitting beside her, and the other was the Northern Region Wolf Warrior. Since she was now married
to Emmanuel, she couldnât divorce him, at least not of her own accord. There would be no romantic
entanglement with the Wolf Warrior either.
She had offered to repay him with money, but he had refused. With that, she owed him a life-saving
favor.
Mackenzie was, in fact, a very sensitive woman. She could sense that the man who saved her back
then must have had strong feelings for her and cared deeply. Otherwise, why would he have come to
her rescue when there were so many people around?
If the Wolf Warrior were never to reappear in her life, she might gradually forget about the events in
Yeternia. However, she feared that he would actually reappear and even become romantically
entangled with her. By that time, if Emmanuelâs relationship with her remained shallow, the other party
might take advantage of the situation.
âMackenzie, whatâs on your mind, really?â
Mackenzie shook her head in confusion, wondering if she was being a bit too self-absorbed. What if the
Wolf Warrior simply didnât like her at all?
âIf youâre too tired, you can take a few days off at home. Since we got married, youâve hardly had any
rest. Your health is important, and I worry about you,â Emmanuel said with genuine concern
Mackenzie smiled again and said, âNo need, Iâm fine! The company has just weathered the storm and
now is the time to regroup. I canât afford to take a break right now.â
âAlright!â
