Love at the Wrong Table
Chapter 628
Though the clothes Shane brought were ordinary, they still couldnât hide her
stunning beauty. However, the redness on her cheeks hadnât subsided.
âIâm really sorry, Emmanuel. Iâve caused you trouble again, havenât I?â asked
Sarah with great grievance. âI just wanted to bring Amy over. I never expected
something like this to happenâ¦â
She appeared so pitiful that even Roselynn couldnât help sighing and
comforting her. âDonât cry anymore, Sarah. How can you two have such a
deep misunderstanding? Mackenzie was pretty forceful with her slap too.â
Sarah thought Emmanuel would share Roselynnâs thoughts, but to her
surprise, the man dismissed her. âSorry, I donât have time to talk to you right
now.â
With that, he ran out, and Sarah bit her lip slightly while watching his
-retreating figure, her lips tightly pressed together.
âMackenzie! Mackenzie!â Emmanuel called out to Mackenzie everywhere he
went, ignoring the strange looks from others. However, he still couldnât find
Mackenzie even after arriving at the hill. Her calls wouldnât go through either.
He then contacted Terence, who, after revealing that Mackenzie didnât return
to the village entrance and left by car, scolded Emmanuel. âWhat in the world
is up with you, Lowe? How did you manage to let your wife disappear right
under your nose? Let me tell you thisâif anything happens to Mackenzie,
youâll be fully responsible!â
âDonât worry, Grandpa! Iâll find Mackenzie at once!â
Emmanuel was growing increasingly anxious. Where the hell is my wife?! She
couldnât have possibly walked back to Yeringham from here, right?!
Upon learning that Mackenzie had gone missing from Heroâs Village, Frederick
and Shane quickly joined in to help. Many enthusiastic and simpleâhearted
villagers joined the search too.
âMackenzie!â
âMs. Quillen!â
âMackenzie!â
However, despite nearly searching the entire village, Mackenzieâs
whereabouts remained unknown. The stunning beauty seemed to have
disappeared into thin air.
Sarah was also puzzled about where her sister had gone.
The sky gradually darkened, and just as Emmanuel was worried sick, Shane
ran up to him and caught his breath before saying, âManny, Master is looking
for you! He said⦠he might be able to help you⦠find your wife!â
Emmanuel felt torn apart at the thought that his drunkard master was
among those who were most familiar with Heroâs Village, but since he was at
a loss, he decided to trust his master.
With that, he rushed to a thatched cottage on the western side of the village.
It was his masterâs Peach Blossom House.
Although the house was plain, it was quite spacious. It even had a backyard
covering over a thousand square feet, and it was filled with peach trees.
Every year during spring, the peach blossoms would bloom, and his master
would get drunk while gazing at them every day. As such, people usually
referred to him as a drunkard.
It had been many years since Emmanuel entered Peach Blossom House, and
it hadnât changed at all from over a decade ago.
âMaster!â Emmanuel shouted immediately after pushing the door open.
âWhere are you? Come out quickly!â

âHahaâ¦â
As expected, a muffled voice came from the backyard.
Emmanuel hurriedly ran toward the backyard and saw a middleâaged man
with a long beard that reeked of alcohol as he sprawled on a chair. He held a
-porcelain bottle in his hand and was drinking heavily. He looked almost the
same as when Emmanuel first met him many years ago.
In reality, Emmanuel would usually find his master drinking alone in the
backyard whenever he came to visit.
When Emmanuel was young, he had asked his father, âWhy does Master
Drunkard drink alcohol every day? Is it to increase his internal strength?â
His father then told him that Santiago used to never drink alcohol and had a
wife who loved peach blossoms. However, she tragically passed away! Since
then, Santiago planted many peach trees and would get intoxicated beneath
the blossoms whenever they were in full bloom.
âYou brat, you barely ever return to Heroâs Village, and when you do, all you
care about is your wife. Arenât you going to accompany your master for a few
drinks?â Santiagoâs beard was soaked in alcohol, and he jabbed his fingers at
Emmanuel while scolding him.
At that, Emmanuel forced a wry smile and said, âMaster, please donât scold
