âOld Mr. Quillen, I donât mean his character.â Alfred rolled up his sleeves.
âOh?â Terence gradually composed himself, no longer appearing intoxicated. âYou mean his abilities?â
âYes,â Alfred finally expressed. âEach time I meet him, his skills would improve significantly, which is
quite unusual.â
âSo, do you think heâs superior to you?â Terence asked with interest!
âI donât know; perhaps heâs just a little more youthful,â Alfred replied modestly, then continued, âOld Mr.
Quillen, do you suspect that he might be concealing something about his identity?â
âHaha, why even have doubts?â Terence chuckled. âThat young man is definitely not ordinary, as Iâve
said before. As for his true identity, when the time comes, we will naturally find out. Thereâs no need to
investigate further. I just need to believe in him as a person and trust that he will treat Mackenzie well.â
Alfred nodded in agreement and secretly marveled at how the old master had wisdom behind his
seemingly simple demeanor. Emmanuel was undoubtedly a hidden force!
On the other side, Emmanuel entered Mackenzieâs room.
The room was quite spacious, almost as large as their residence in Yociam Residence, and even larger
than some standard suites.
âIâm a bit tired. Iâll take a shower first,â Mackenzie said to Emmanuel before entering the bathroom.
Emmanuel couldnât quite grasp Mackenzieâs thoughts. He felt like she had been carrying a heavy
burden since returning from Yeternia.
In the bathroom, Mackenzie undressed, and with her eyes closed, she let the warm water wash over
her.
Her body, illuminated by the mist, seemed to emit a soft, radiant glow. Her gentle curves made her
body look like the most perfect piece of art in the world. With the purity of her form, she exuded a sense
of sanctity that only a woman who had never been defiled could possess.
But she felt unclean. This kind of impurity couldnât be washed away with water, no matter how much
she used. It had permeated her body.
With her eyes closed, she could vividly recall the moments when that man had embraced her tightly in
the sea, pressed his chest to hers on the shore, and kissed her. Although she hadnât initiated those
actions, they had undeniably happened. She didnât know how to confess this to Emmanuel or whether
she even needed to. She was confused, especially after witnessing Emmanuelâs fierce protection
earlier in the day, which deepened her guilt toward him. She felt like she had been unfaithful to him.
Mackenzie had just realized how traditional she was and how strict she was about her own body.
Emmanuel had been waiting outside the bathroom for quite a while, continually checking the time on
his phone. It had been almost an hour, and he wondered what his wife could possibly be doing in there.
He knew Mackenzie had a cleanliness obsession, but she had never taken such a long time to shower
in their home at Yociam Residence.
âMackenzie, are you okay?â
After well over an hour and approaching 11 p.m., Emmanuel couldnât resist knocking on the bathroom
door
After a moment, he received a response from Mackenzie, âI⦠Iâm fine. Iâll be out!â
âOkay,â Emmanuel casually replied. However, he hadnât anticipated that the bathroom door would
indeed open shortly, with Mackenzie emerging wearing only a silk robe. She wasnât wearing anything
underneath,showcasing her shapely body.
Emmanuel blushed and tried to avert his gaze.
Mackenzie spoke up, âWhy are you shy? I am your wife!â
