Love at the Wrong Table Emmanuel Lowe Chapter 826

Chapter 826

“Grandpa, I didn’t do it! Please don’t make baseless accusations!”

“You didn’t? How could you not have?!” Terence became instantly irritated.

“Beatrix came back that night and told me everything. You and Mackenzie

went to an inn and even stained the bed sheets red!”

“You mean that time!” Emmanuel slapped his forehead, stuck with an

epiphany.

No wonder Grandpa’s talking nonsense. So, it’s all thanks to Beatrix, huh?! How

could that girl have spread such rumors?

“What’s the matter? Are you trying to sweep it under the rug and deny it?”

Terence stared at him with a mischievous glint in his eyes. At the same time,

he felt a bit nervous. Seeing how Emmanuel behaved, he wondered if he

could’ve been deceived.

“No, Grandpa, that’s not what I mean!” Emmanuel sighed and explained,

“Mackenzie and I went to the inn that night to save a friend. The blood wasn’t

ours. Mackenzie and I really haven’t…”

“What? You useless brat! You… You’re really driving me crazy!”

Disappointed, Terence slapped the back of Emmanuel’s head.

Emmanuel covered his head and dared not speak after being reprimanded.

“How long have you two been married, huh? Tell me! How can you not have

slept with your wife even once?! Are you even a man? If you can’t do it, don’t

waste my granddaughter’s time!”

Terence’s severe reprimand finally had Emmanuel perceiving the immense

gravity of the issue.

Though such matters should be consensual, Emmanuel knew he and

Mackenzie couldn’t drag it out anymore, seeing how anxious their elders

were.

“Grandpa, I promise you I’m capable, but-” Emmanuel needed to explain that

he didn’t have ‘E.D.’ issues at all.

“No buts. I’ll give you a little more time. If you still can’t make it happen, you

and Mackenzie can start thinking about getting a divorce!”

In actuality, Terence held high hopes for Emmanuel. However, the young man.

had managed to push his buttons.

His health was deteriorating by the day, and he still hoped to hold on until his

great-grandchild was born.

“Grandpa, I understand,” said Emmanuel, appearing repentant, for he truly

empathized with Terence’s situation.

He didn’t want to divorce Mackenzie anymore, so he really had to figure

something out and fulfill the task given by the elders to her.

“Good. Don’t disappoint me again.” Terence’s tone finally softened.

Emmanuel nodded, feeling quite despondent. He needed to go find his icy

wife quickly and discuss how to deal with this situation.

Meanwhile, in Felicity’s room, Mackenzie and Felicity sat face to face.

“Mackenzie, I was really happy when you asked me to come home today!”

Felicity’s eyes glistened, and her expression showed genuine emotion.

Mackenzie simply nodded slightly, not displaying overly excited emotions.

She went straight to the point. “Felicity, I asked you to come back today

because I want to talk to you about something!”

“Sure, go ahead!”

Although Mackenzie still hesitated to call her “Mom,” her proactive attitude

was enough to satisfy and excite Felicity.

“First, despite the rumors that have always said I’m not your biological

daughter, I won’t seek validation for that. I’ve always regarded you as my

mother and considered you a part of the Quillen family. So, I really don’t want

to see you cut ties with the Quillen family.”

These words were something Mackenzie had been hesitant to say and had

found it difficult to put into words, had it not been for Emmanuel’s statement

about the importance of family harmony. Fortunately, she was able to

express herself now.

Felicity was indeed moved, her eyes welling up with tears.

Among her three daughters, the one she favored the most and longed to

have her relationship acknowledged by was Mackenzie.

For over twenty years, this was the first time she had heard Mackenzie say

she regarded her as her mother.
