Love at the Wrong Table
Chapter 1249 Dinner
Indeed, a daughter-in-lawâs word was worth a thousand words from a son.
âAlright then. Thank you for your assistance, Mackenzie,â Alessandra said.
âMom, itâs my pleasure.â
Mackenzie ended the call and walked out of the front yard with Emmanuel. They were ready to attend the dinner Gautier had invited them to the previous night.
âMackenzie, Emmanuel, where are you headed?â Beatrix hurried over after noticing them.
âWeâre going to have dinner with Verkade.â
âIâm coming too!â_
Beatrix insisted on joining Mackenzie and Emmanuel. After all, it wasnât an intimate candlelit dinner for just the two of them, so she wouldnât be a third wheel.
Mackenzie had no choice but to let her come along.
However, as soon as the three of them got in the car and reached the mansion gate, they ran into Lara.
âHey, Mackenzie, where are you going?â
âDinner.â Mackenzieâs answer was much simpler this time.
She didnât want to bring Lara along, knowing that she had feelings for Gautier.
âAre you going to have dinner with Gautier? Take me with you.â Lara also wanted to join them.
However, Mackenzie didnât agree. âToo many people would be inconvenient. Emmanuel, letâs go.â
âOkay.â
Emmanuel drove off without letting Lara get in the car.
Beatrix even deliberately rolled down the rear window and made a face at Lara.
Lara was furious. She didnât understand why Mackenzie was so biased towards Beatrix. In fact, it was clear that she was much more capable than Beatrix.
âIt must be because of that man, Emmanuel! As long as I can get Emmanuel out of the Quillen family and make Gautier my brother-in-law, Mackenzie will definitely favor me in the future,â she muttered to herself and quickly drove away from the mansion.
Half an hour later, Emmanuel, Mackenzie, and Beatrix arrived at the Willow.

âMackenzie, youâre here?â
Upon seeing the three of them walk in, Gautier immediately came over to greet them.
He was undoubtedly dressed to the nines, looking like a prince straight out of a fairy tale. His appearance immediately caused many women to scream.
For sure, Beatrix couldnât help but suspect that these women were hired to play along.
40%
She used to think that Gautier was handsome, but he was not necessarily more charming than Emmanuel. She couldnât understand why those women were so indifferent when they saw Emmanuel but acted like they were infatuated when they saw Gautier.
âLetâs find a quieter spot.â Mackenzie remained composed.
If there was any woman in Yeringham who could be personally greeted by Gautier, it would be none other than Mackenzie.
In the eyes of other women, she was deserving of the envy and jealousy of Gautierâs admirers.
âOkay.â
Gautier didnât show any displeasure because Mackenzie brought others to the appointment. He led the three of them to the specially decorated dining area and pulled out the chairs for the Quillen sisters with gentlemanly grace.
Then, with a charming smile, he told Emmanuel, âMr. Lowe, please have a seat.â
âYou startled me. I thought you werenât welcoming me because you didnât pull out a chair for me.â Emmanuel smiled casually and sat down next to Mackenzie.
It had to be said that birds of a feather flock together. Gautier, who associated with Magnus, shared some similarities with him in terms of demeanor. However, he also had his own unique traits.
Gautier wasnât as profound as Magnus and perhaps not as hypocritical. Nevertheless, his smile made Emmanuel feel even more dangerous than Magnus.
This man was definitely a hundred times more challenging to deal with than Hubert.
Just because Emmanuel had been slapped three times by him and yet he could still wear such a smile without holding any grudges, Emmanuel had to be cautious around him. He wondered what tricks Gautier would play tonight.
âHaha! It appears that youâre not as serious as the rumors suggest, Mr. Lowe. You actually have a good sense of humor, Gautier responded with hearty laughter to Emmanuelâs words.
Then, he extended his hand towards Emmanuel. âWhy wouldnât I welcome you? We may have had some conflicts in the past, but now I wish to reconnect
