Chapter 40


    “I got it. Why are you so long–winded when you’re a


    man?” admonished Mackenzie icily.


    After she ended her sentence, she felt it took quite a


    long time to calm herself down. I must admit, life after


    marriage vastly differs from a single life. It seems like


    it’ll take me some time to get used to living with


    another person.


    The next day was Sunday, yet she still left the house at


    half past six in the morning.


    For a workaholic, there were basically no rest days or


    holidays, only work days.


    Sitting in her office, she used her phone to check the


    surveince footage instead of dealing with her


    matters hurriedly as she always did.


    The edges of her lips curved upward when she thought


    about how Emmanuel didn’t know she could monitor


    everything that happened in the house. I want to see

    what he’s doing when I’m not around.


    Unbeknownst to her, Beatrix just happened to have


    arrived outside her office, secretly watching her.


    “D*mn it! I knew that man was unreliable!” Suddenly,


    Mackenzie pped her hand on the table because she


    saw him washing her pants by hand. He told me he


    would let the washing machine do theundry! What


    right does he have to touch my pants?


    Hmph! That’s so personal! Wait a minute…


    The next moment, she instantly blushed because she


    realized why he was doing that. Apparently, he was


    removing her bodily secretion from the pants, which


    was very difficult for a washing machine to do.


    “I’m going to kill that man!” She exploded with rage


    and embarrassment.


    Outside the office, Beatrix thoroughly enjoyed


    watching her sister’s reaction because she rarely got a


    glimpse of that side of her older sibling.


    Suddenly, someone patted her shoulder, frightening


    her and spurring her to turn around.


    “Why are you hiding outside Ms. Quillen’s office, Ms.


    Beatrix?” Lexi couldn’t help but ask.


    Hastily, she argued, “I–I’m not! I came here to learn


    from her!”


    At that moment, she was working as a management


    trainee while studying.


    When she wasn’t busy with her studies or had a


    semester break, she would help her sister out at the


    “Here to learn? Why do I feel like you’re peeping at


    her?” While Lexi was a subordinate, she had a good


    rtionship with the sisters.


    Hence, when no one was around, she would joke with


    Beatrix.


    “Shh! Don’t talk nonsense!” Immediately, she whispered


    into her ear. “Actually, Grandpa gave me a secret


    mission. He asked me to watch over my sister and her


    husband as well as help them conceive as soon as


    possible.”


    “What?” Lexi was shocked but skeptical. “Are you telling


    the truth?” Can you really persuade them to conceive?


    Also, since it’s a secret mission, why are you telling me


    this?


    “Of course, but the situation isn’t looking great right


    now. Based on Mackenzie’s current state, I think she


    may kick her husband out at any moment!”


    spected Beatrix based on what she saw earlier.


    Knitting her eyebrow, Lexi thought, I interacted with


    Emmanuel a few times before, and I don’t think he’s as


    simple as he appears to be. That much was evident


    when he helped me handle the scammer, deal with Mr.


    Webber, and handily grab Keegan’s fistst night. If he


    weren’t capable in some way, Old Mr. Quillen wouldn’t


    have taken a liking to him.


    Then, she said, “I disagree with you, Ms. Beatrix. I think


    that man will keep staying by her side.”


    Her words stunned Beatrix. Does she actually think that


    man can stand someone like Mackenzie?
