Chapter 112
She might not know Mni well, but she had seen Emmanuel and Mni
together on their blind date.
It was obvious that Mni was a gold–digger.
It didn’t take her long to realize why Mni’s attitude did a one–eighty
today.
“Ms. Quillen, that’s smart of you!” Emmanuel was in awe.
He couldn’t help but be impressed by Mackenzie’s quick thinking. It was no
surprise she held a high position in a prominentpany. He couldn’t
help but acknowledge that he was no match for her in terms of wit and
strategic thinking.
Emmanuel had thought Mni would give up quickly. Little did he expect
her to go to great lengths to pursue him.
After he arrived home with Mackenzie, Roselynn gave him a call,
requesting him toe home.
Emmanuel came out of the kitchen with the dinner he had prepared for
Mackenzie. He ced the te in front of her, then took off his apron and

said, “Ms. Quillen, I’m afraid you’ll have to eat without me. Roselynn has just
summoned me home urgently.”
Mackenzie furrowed her brows slightly. Despite her reaction, she was
pleased with how he reported everything to her. She gave him a nod but
said nothing.
Emmanuel drove home in the Maserati. Soon, he came home and
discovered Roselynn lounging on the couch to watch the TV instead of
cooking dinner as usual. She lifted her mile–long legs and casually
propped them up on the table in a rather udylike manner.
“Roselynn, have you already had dinner?”
“No,” Roselynn answered nonchntly as she nced at him.
“Is Mom cooking?”
“Ha! Go to the kitchen and find out for yourself!” Roselynn didn’t answer his
question directly.

Emmanuel suddenly had an ominous feeling. He swiftly made his way to
the kitchen, only to be greeted by the sight of Mni in an apron. She was
helping Alessandra with the cooking.
Alessandra had told her to stop, but she had insisted on helping out.
“Mni, are you nuts?” Emmanuel snapped.
He had no idea Mni woulde all the way to his house to help out just
to win his heart.
No one in their right mind would do such a thing.
“Darling, you’re back?”
Instead of blowing her top, Mni came over to wee him warmly.
Alessandra swiftly positioned herself between them and dragged him out
of the kitchen. “Manny, what is happening? Why did you allow yourself to
be entangled with someone like her? what if Mackenzie finds out?” she
chided softly.
Emmanuel rolled his eyes and replied in a low voice, “Mom, I didn’t do
anything. She’s here because of my money.”
“Your money? You’re making it sound as if you’re rich.” Alessandra refused
to belleve him. She gave him a forceful p, reminding him to stop flirting
with other women.
Seeing that, Roselynn felt bad for her brother for one second.
She rose from her seat and made her way to the kitchen, wearing a
deliberately wide smile. “Ms. Zimmerman, I had no idea you possessed
such exceptional culinary skills. You truly embody the qualities of an ideal
wife. Your future husband is indeed fortunate!”
Mni was delighted to hear that.
Emmanuel knitted his brows. What is Roselynn getting at?
Roselynn continued, “Unfortunately, my foolish brother won’t be the
fortunate one. After his failed blind date with you, he went on to marry
someone else. His wife would never set foot in the kitchen!”
Pfft!
Mni was testing the taste of the soup, and upon hearing that, she spat
out the liquid in her mouth.
Luckily, Roselynn had anticipated Mni’s response and swiftly evaded her,
avoiding getting spat in the face.
“Roselynn, what are you talking about? That was a lie, right? Is Emmanuel
really married?” Mni asked in disbelief.
Emmanuel had told her twice that he was married, but she had assumed
he was imagining things.
After all, it was too quick for him to get married.
Marriage isn’t a simple transaction where one could pick and choose
whatever caught their eye, like shopping at a market.
