Love at the Wrong Table
Chapter 565
Ultimately, Mackenzie was resolved to pry the truth out of Emmanuel!
Meanwhile, the man finally returned to Yociam Residence. He had not
contacted his wife beforehand because he wanted to surprise her, but he
didnât anticipate that she wouldnât be home tonight.
Just as Emmanuel was about to call her, his phone rang. âHello, Mom?â
âManny, are you back in Yeringham?â
Alessandra was aware of her sonâs trip to Eastern Star Mountain, but when he
returned, he went straight to Lenoir Residence to save Claudette, so he
hadnât had the opportunity to call his mother.
âYes. Iâm back!â
âGreat. Iâm content as long as you return safely,â she said.
Emmanuel had avoided going into detail with his mother about Claudetteâs
situation, and Roselynn had done the same to spare her motherâs anxiety.
Moreover, Alessandra was at the bottom of the social ladder, so she wasnât
aware of the upper classâ power struggles in Yeringham. She was also
unaware of the entanglement between the Lenoir and Quillen families until
today. Aside from her sonâs safety, her main concern was her
daughterâinâlaw. So, she asked, âManny, New Yearâs is just around the corner.
When are you and Mackenzie coming back home?â
After hearing his motherâs statement, Emmanuel was suddenly reminded
that New Yearâs was approaching. As he reflected on the past three months,
he realized that he had never expected his marriage to last until the New
Year. Hmmm! Bringing my wife home for the holidays and spending quality
time with my mom in the New Year sounds like a wonderful idea. My primary
concern right now is whether Mackenzie will agree to this. Will she go along
with this? Even though he was clueless, he responded to his mother, âIâll go
home tomorrow to clean the house with you, but I will still have to check
Mackenzieâs schedule!â
âOh dear, do you still have to check her schedule? Is she also working on New
Yearâs Day?â Alessandra was anxious because she and Roselynn had already
completed the preparations for the New Year, but she desired to spend
quality time with her family during the festive season. Without my son and
daughterâinâlaw here for New Yearâs, I doubt I would feel the same
excitement about the holiday.
âI donât think she has to work on that particular day.â He quickly reassured his
mother, âDonât worry, Mom! Iâll do everything I can to persuade Mackenzie to
spend the New Year with us, even if itâs only for one day!â
âIâIâll wait for your news, then. With that, Alessandra hung up the phone
worriedly.
Consequently, Emmanuel had an even greater reason to contact Mackenzie
and ask if she could accompany him back home. However, what happened
next was beyond his expectations!
He dialed his wifeâs number, and the line went through, but he was cut off
before he could speak. Instead, she snorted coldly and ranted, âHow long has
it been since you returned? Did you just remember to call me? Sorry, Iâm busy
right now!â
Toot! Toot!
When he heard the phone get disconnected, Emmanuel smiled wryly. Her icy
personality is authentic, and she immediately silenced me before I could
even utter a word. Is she angry? What should I do now? If only I hadnât left the
Quillen residence that day! Hmm⦠I should talk to Roselynn about thisâ¦
His sister was the only person he could consult for relationship advice,
despite her limited relationship experience. Coincidentally, his phone rang
just as he was about to call his sister.
He noticed it was an unknown number from Yeringham, but it wasnât flagged
as a scam call by the national antiâfraud app. After wondering who might be
calling, he answered the phone.
âHello. May I know if this is⦠Dr. Lowe?â A sweet and slightly timid voice
emanated from the other end.
âRhea Gomez? Is that you?â Emmanuel truly hadnât expected it would be her.
