Love at the Wrong Table Emmanuel Lowe Chapter 622

Chapter 622

Emmanuel had no intention of pulling her back to worship; on the contrary,

he was trying to soothe her emotions. “This is where I grew up, and some of

the customs here indeed don’t align with your world. If you don’t like them,

you don’t have to follow them. I know you mean no harm, and that’s what

matters!”

An inexplicable warmth flowed into Mackenzie’s heart. She had

underestimated this fool, but when it came to sweet words, he had a whole

arsenal of them. Unfortunately, she fell for it. Damn it!

In the end, she still managed to extricate herself from his embrace. It would

be embarrassing to engage in such intimate behavior in this place in case

someone happened to pass by. After all, she was the icy goddess.

Sure enough, a call came from behind them. “Manny, Mackenzie!”

“Manny! Mackenzie!”

Both of them turned in the direction of the voices and saw that it was

Roselynn running alongside Alessandra, catching up to them. The latter had

longed for this moment, finally letting her son marry a daughter–in–law. She

could not let her run away over such a small matter, could she?

Seeing the two of them standing so close, facing each other, she was

momentarily stunned. What are my son and daughter–in–law doing just

now?

“Mom, Roselynn!” Emmanuel called out.

Yet, the two ignored him and hurriedly came in front of Mackenzie.

“Mackenzie, don’t listen to what the villagers are saying. We don’t have such

rules in Hero’s Village. As long as you and Manny get along, that’s all that

matters! No one can drive you away!” Alessandra tightly held Mackenzie’s

hand, fearing that she might run away.

Mackenzie could feel the lady trembling, knowing how much she cared about

her, so she nodded in response.

“Hehe, what were you two doing just now? Mackenzie, why is your face so

red?” Roselynn noticed the details and teased them intentionally.

“N–Nothing!” Emmanuel and Mackenzie almost simultaneously shook their

heads.

Roselynn, however, did not let them off the hook. She raised her eyebrows

and pointed at the lipstick stain on her brother’s neck. “Nothing? Then, how

come this fool has a lipstick mark on his neck? Which woman did that? Come

clean!”

Uh–oh!

His face immediately turned red. Mackenzie clenched her fist, wishing she

could punch this fool to the ground. Look at what he’s done, forcefully

embracing me for no reason!

Alessandra, on the other hand, misunderstood the situation and burst into

laughter. It seemed that her foolish son was not so foolish after all. The hope

of having grandchildren and the prospect of the Lowe family flourishing had

emerged!

In the next moment, she gripped Mackenzie’s hand and said, “Mackenzie, let’s

go! I’ll take you to burn incense for the ancestors of the Lowe family. You don’t

need to follow any formalities. Just offer incense at the ancestral tablet, and

I’ll say a few words to Manny’s father, telling him that his daughter–in–law has

returned!”

“Well…” Mackenzie hesitated but could not resist Alessandra’s enthusiasm, so

she nodded in agreement.

While they left, Roselynn tiptoed and hooked her arm around Emmanuel’s

shoulder, mischievously asking, “Oh, brother, how far have you and

Mackenzie progressed? Mom is waiting to hold her grandchildren. When will

you fulfill her greatest wish?”

He forced a bitter smile.

His mother’s greatest wish used to be for him to marry, but now, it had

advanced to having grandchildren. How did it turn into that? Each one of her

wishes is so difficult to fulfill. No matter how much Roselynn asked, he evaded

thè question.

First of all, he was a complete beginner when it came to relationships.

Secondly, he had not performed formal rituals with Mackenzie, so what could

he say? They could only take things step by step.

He always believed that when the time was right, everything would naturally

fall into place. If the time had not come, forcing it would lead to nothing!
