Chapter 111

Around half an hour later, Emmanuel’s car came to a stop before Terence

Group.

Terence Group’s headquarters was a skyscraper located in the business

park. The entrance to the business park was marked by a sprawling field.

As Mackenzie gracefully emerged from between the two rows of trees,

she seemed like a fairy traversing through an enchanted forest.

Emmanuel found himself captivated by her presence, his gaze fixated on

her in a momentary state of awe.

Noticing Emmanuel was staring at her, Mackenzie hopped into the car and

playfully asked, “Why are you staring at me like that? Do I have something

on my face?”

“Huh? No! You’re too pretty, Ms. Quillen!” Emmanuel praised honestly.

He couldn’t help but acknowledge that Mackenzie was, without a doubt,

the most strikingly beautiful person he had ever laid eyes on.

“You’re only realizing that now?” Mackenzie retorted with a self–assured

grin, rather than exhibiting any shyness.

“No, but I only got the chance to say it now. The first time we met, I was

already captivated by your beauty. It felt like we were from different

worlds. You’re an enchanting and ethereal fairy while I’m just an ordinary

human being.”

A half smile nudged Mackenzie’s lips as she listened to him talk.

She was well aware of her beauty, but genuine compliments about her

appearance were a rarity, as most people lacked the courage to express

admiration for her beauty sincerely.

She was inwardly pleased to hear his praises.

Right then, Emmanuel received a call from Alessandra.

“Manny, what’s going on with Milani? She’s been acting completely out of

character today. Did you know she unexpectedly showed up to help me at

work?”

“What? Seriously?” Emmanuel’s jaw dropped wide open in shock.

Alessandra was a cleaner. Milani’s unexpected offer of help after work was

quite surprising.

She’s serious, huh?

“Mom, ignore her. Based on what I know about her, she’ll eventually give

up after putting on an act for a while,” Emmanuel responded helplessly as

he didn’t know what Milani was getting at.

“No, that can’t be. I believe you must be the reason for her sudden shift in

attitude toward me. Did something happen between the two of you? I

won’t allow you to cheat on Mackenzie!” Alessandra cautioned Emmanuel,

her intelligence and strong principles shining through her words.

“Mom, nothing happened between us, I have no idea why she’s behaving

like this. I won’t be unfaithful to Mackenzie, so don’t worry!” Emmanuel

blurted out, feeling agitated.

After her initial surprise, Mackenzie flashed an amused smile.

It looks like he’s romantically linked with another woman, huh?

“Okay, I trust you.”

“Mm. I’m driving Mackenzie home now. Bye!” Emmanuel ended the call

and immediately explained, “Ms. Quillen, I’m completely clueless about

what’s happening. The woman I met on my last blind date suddenly

expressed her love for me in an incredibly intense and unconventional

manner. Please understand that I have no intention of showing off or

seeking attention. It’s honestly quite alarming. I assure you that I will not

become romantically involved with her.”

Mackenzie was strangely pleased to see him all nervous.

She was still holding a grudge over his claim that he had never waited up

for her.

Finally, she could turn the tables today.

“If you don’t feel guilty, why do you feel the need to explain things to me?”

she deliberately asked.

Emmanuel calmed down instantly. “As long as we’re married, you’re still

my wife. I don’t want you to doubt me or feel uneasy in any way.”

Mackenzie broke into a beautiful grin.

She quickly composed herself and snapped, “You’re thinking too much. I’ve

never felt uneasy over you, Mr. Lowe!”

Emmanuel was taken aback by her reply, but after returning to his senses,

he found it amusing.

That was deliberate of her, huh?

Regardless, hearing that from her was a relief to him.

“Don’t tell me you don’t know why she reacted that way. I think it’s because

of the Maserati you drove today!” Mackenzie reminded him.
