Chapter 168

Emmanuel fearlessly stood his ground, arguing convincingly and emerging

victorious in the debate over his gender with Mackenzie.

However, his triumph did not grant him the respect a man deserved. Instead,

he had to run errands and arrange for their stay at a hotel outside the village.

“Sir, do you have any available rooms?” Emmanuel asked the middle–aged,

frugal–looking innkeeper.

The man glanced at Emmanuel and then at Mackenzie standing by the

entrance. He whispered, “Young man, just the two of you?”

“Yeah, that’s right.” Emmanuel nodded in confusion.

I’m here to book a room, not to partake in any illicit activities. Why does the

innkeeper need to speak in such a suggestive tone?

Though the innkeeper couldn’t see Mackenzie’s face, he couldn’t help but

notice her impeccable figure.

He discreetly swallowed his saliva before answering, “Well, young man, our

single room is priced at ninety–eight, while our double room will cost eight

hundred and eighty–eight. Both rooms need to be vacated by noon the

following day.”

Hearing that, Emmanuel was stunned. “Why is the double room so much

more expensive than the single room?”

“Well, the double room has a large round bed.”

“A large round bed justifies a tenfold increase in price?” Emmanuel furrowed

his brows. “What about the size of the room and other amenities?”

“Well, it’s the same!”

The innkeeper was perturbed by Emmanuel’s questioning. Is he really that

foolish? If he requests a double room, I’ll offer him additional services. When

the lady enters, I’ll conveniently claim that there are no more single rooms

-available. That way, he can share a room with her and indulge in the night.

“I’ll have two single rooms then!”

Emmanuel usted no time in making his decision, deterred by the significant

orice differeAY

The innkeader wondered it Emmanuel was oblivious to the opportunity to

shore a room with the attractive woman behind him at an affordable rate.

Although the innkeeper wanted to maximize his profits, he also wanted

Emmanuel to enjoy the night. Hence, he tried hinting once again. “Very well,

please present your ID. I’ll need one ID per room!”

Unfortunately, it seemed Emmanuel hadn’t grasped the hidden meaning

behind the innkeeper’s words. He simply turned around and asked Mackenzie

for her ID card.

What on earth is wrong with this guy? Is he impotent or just broke? It’s not

every day that such a beautiful woman goes out with him and he still insists

on booking two single rooms.

The innkeeper, who had been in the business for ten years, was completely

bewildered by Emmanuel’s actions. In all his years, he had never

encountered such a situation.

If that beauty is willing to sleep with me, I’ll not hesitate to pay eight thousand

and eight hundred, let alone eight hundred and eighty–eight. Spending a

night with a woman like her would be the pinnacle of my life.

“Do you have a room?” Mackenzie asked when she saw Emmanuel rush out

of the entrance.

“Yes, there are rooms available. We need one ID card per room, so I’ll need

yours as well.”

Mackenzie didn’t say anything and simply handed her ID card over to him.

Emmanuel’s eyes briefly scanned Mackenzie’s ID, and he couldn’t help but

notice that her photo exuded the same stunning beauty, untouched by the

need for makeup.

“All right, we’ll have two rooms,” Emmanuel said as he entered the hotel

again and casually handed over the ID cards.

As Mackenzie entered the hotel behind him, the innkeeper couldn’t help but

stare at her exceptional beauty.

The two of them don’t look like siblings. Doesn’t this man have any lustful

thoughts? Has he lost his desires at such a young age?

“Here are your room cards.”

Despite wanting to make money from their stay, he had no choice but to

comply with Emmanuel’s insistence on booking two single rooms.

However, Emmanuel finally noticed the innkeeper’s puzzled gaze and unusual

behavior.

He was enlightened when he took the room cards.

Hold on, tonight is the perfect opportunity to share a room with Mackenzie.

Why didn’t I think of that? Was I trying to save money?

Emmanuel, who had been married to Mackenzie for a long time, began to

wonder if she deliberately entrusted him with the room booking to provide

him with a chance to seize the rare opportunity.
