Love at the Wrong Table
Chapter 323
After returning to Yociam Residence, Emmanuel began packing his
belongings.
Mackenzie wasnât home, but he tidied up her things as well and made sure
that the house was in the same condition as when he arrived before
preparing to leave.
He left just as quietly as he came, as if he had dreamed of a marriage here,
and woke up to return to his previous life. The only problem was how to tell
his mother about this.
Bam, bam! The door was violently rapped all of a sudden.
âItâs already so late in the evening. Whom could it be?â he muttered to himself,
knowing for sure that it wouldnât be Mackenzie. The coldâhearted woman
wouldnât rap a door, nor would it be the residential security, for they knew
there was a doorbell. There was no reason for them to knock so explosively.
Upon opening the door, he discovered a visibly furious Terence standing
outside.
âGrandpa!â

âIâm still your grandpa, eh? What are you doing now, then?â Emmanuelâs
behavior infuriated Terence. He couldnât believe the young man was actually
going to leave his granddaughter!
âIâm leaving,â Emmanuel said almost monotonously, rubbing his nose.
âMackenzie has already asked for a divorce, and I agreed.â
âLeave? Who the hell said you can leave?â Terence thwacked the young
manâs head with his walking stick.
It sure hurt.
Emmanuel reflexively held his head in pain and backed up, looking at the
unreasonable elder like a misbehaved child.
âYou agreed to the divorce just because she demanded it? Are you even a
man?â
It was that line again, and Terence appeared even more stirred up than the
last time.
Emmanuel felt quite aggrieved. Of course, he was a man. His gender was
clearly stated on his ID. It couldnât be fake, could it? However, he didnât dare
confront Terence.
Firstly, Terence was his elder. Secondly, the old man exuded an aura of
superiorityâeven Mackenzie had to listen to him. How could an ordinary
person resist such authority?
âBut Grandpa, I canât possibly stubbornly cling to her when she has even sent
the lawyer to discuss the divorce with me, can I?â Emmanuel still couldnât help
defending himself emotionally.
âIsnât that how guys usually get a girl? Has there ever been a guy who didnât
need to shamelessly chase and beg a girl? Do you not like Mackenzie? Is she
not pretty enough for you?â Terence peppered, rendering Emmanuel
speechless again.
Of course, he liked Mackenzie, and it was even love at first sight. He already
thought she was ethereal, extraordinary, and different from everyone else on
the first day of their blind date when they sat at the wrong table and at the
first glimpse of that beautiful encounter.
âIn that case, why are you giving her up so easily?â
How could Terence, who had experienced so much in life, not see through the
two youngsters? They both liked each other but were foolish idiots with poor
communication skills, especially that granddaughter of his! They were
stubborn with their words but had contradictory feelings.
It was precisely so that he was driven mad by the two. He knew he had to
continue playing the matchmaker for the troublesome couple, or the
relationship would be over if he let them develop it freely only to sever it!
âWhat can I do now, Grandpa?â Emmanuel asked agitatedly. âMackenzie
believes that I care more about Claudette, but thatâs not true! Iâve tried
explaining to her!â
âItâll still be salvageable as long as you donât give up. Leave it to me!â Terence
had come for that very statement, and he felt much more reassured after
listening to Emmanuel.
Mackenzie, you little brat! Time for me to fix your bratty temperament!
Meanwhile, Lexi was working away in the office when someone suddenly
barged in.
