Love at the Wrong Table
Chapter 668
It was the first time Mackenzie saw Emmanuel looking like this, and she found
him adorable. In the past, she didnât like men of this kind. After all, she was the
one who turned him into such a man by constantly bullying him.
âAlright, letâs do it.â She then picked up the medicine bottle.
Upon hearing that, Emmanuel flushed. He knew that his wife only meant to
put on some medicine for him, but he couldnât help but think that she wanted
to do the deed with him.
Even though he was a typical insensitive man, he still mistook it. In the past,
he wouldnât easily associate her words with sex. Perhaps he had developed
some lustful thoughts following several talks with Terence regarding this
matter.
Realizing that something was off, Mackenzie asked curiously, âWhy does your
skin feel so hot?â
âNâNothing.â He stiffly shook his head. First, you took off my bathrobe, and now
youâre so close to me and even flirting with me. How could you even ask why
my skin feels hot? Youâre basically arousing me and then denying my needs!
She wasnât a fool. When she recalled what she had said, she flushed and
landed a slap on the manâs wound. âIâm telling youâdonât even think about
such matters if you still want to live. Thatâs not what I meant!â
âAh!â Emmanuel exclaimed and jumped up. âMs. Quillen, do you want my
wound to heal? Or do you want to kill me?â
You said such suggestive words and accused me of having lustful thoughts.
Thatâs unreasonable!
Mackenzie snorted and looked away. You had it coming!
Fortunately, Emmanuelâs ringtone interrupted the awkward situation. He
quickly picked up the call to stay away from the icy woman. Otherwise, he
would be killed if the woman kept on slapping him. âHello, Mom?â
âWhy didnât you come home last night, Manny?â Alessandra asked worriedly
on the other end of the line. After all, her son didnât inform her that he wasnât
going home.
âIâm with Mackenzie, Mom.â Emmanuel was still trying to avoid his wife earlier,
but he was going back to her now.
Mackenzie crossed her arms with a smug expression. Her gaze seemed to be
saying, Well, youâll come back to me no matter what, wonât you?
âI see. Itâs fine, then.â Alessandra chuckled. âPlease work harder so that Iâll have
a grandchild soon.â
At that, Mackenzie glowered at the man and mouthed her words, âIf you
to cross the line, Iâll kill you!â
âThereâs no rush, Mom.â Certainly, Emmanuel didnât want to be tortured
anymore, for the womanâs hand was right above his wound.

âAlright, donât keep me and Mackenzieâs grandfather waiting. By the way, itâs
Milaniâs wedding tomorrow. Are you coming with us?â Alessandra talked
about a different topic.
âIâm not going to attend her wedding. I have to keep Mackenzie company.â
âAlright, then. Iâm going to the wedding with Ryder.â When Alessandra finished
speaking, she hung up the call to stop disturbing her son and
daughterâinâlaw, after which she let out a sigh.
Previously, Emmanuel had told her about Tiaâs reaction, so it was apparent
that she wasnât interested in Ryder.
Alessandra understood that the woman was a single lady, so it was only
natural that she wasnât fond of a divorced man with a child. After all, no
woman would want to marry a divorcee and raise someone elseâs child. As
such, she had to keep looking for a new wife for Ryder.
She learned that Milaniâs cousin, Ruby, was also a divorcee. Perhaps the
woman would be willing to marry Ryder. Therefore, Alessandra decided to
attend Milaniâs wedding so that she would have a chance to approach Ruby.
On the other hand, Ryder had brought Tommy back to spend the New Year
with Alessandra as per her instructions. He knew that Alessandra had been
exerting herself to look for a new wife for him.
He understood he wasnât handsome. If not for Tommy, he wouldnât have gone
on blind dates to save himself the embarrassment. However, since
Alessandra was so fervent, he had no choice but to accept the dates she
had set up for him, just like what Emmanuel did in the past.
