Chapter 190
Emmanuel was about to exin himself when Mackenzie handed him a bag of clothes.
“I…”
Emmanuel was the sentimental type who would feel touched easily, and
Mackenzie’s act of kindness touched him once again.
Not wanting him to get ahead of himself, Mackenzie lied by saying, “I knew
you wouldn’t know how to dress yourself up. In order to not embarrass myself
when going out with you, I got you a set of formal attire that happened to be
on sale!”
In reality, she had asked Lexi to help buy that suit from a branded store. It
actually cost her over eight thousand.
“Thank you so much, Ms. Quillen! I might end up falling in love with you if you
keep being so nice to me!” Emmanuel eximed in the heat of the moment.
“Hmph! You’d better not fall for me, or you’ll be in for a world of pain!”
Having gotten used to being cold toward others, Mackenzie had a really
strong sense of pride.
I’m the daughter of the Quillen family! It would be an insult to my charm if a
guy who’s living with me doesn’t fall in love with me! That simply won’t do!
“I’ll change into this once we arrive at the concert!”
“Whatever!”
Mackenzie couldn’t help but feel impressed with how well Emmanuel knew
her. Had he tried to get changed inside the car, she would have beaten him
to a pulp.
The two of them arrived at the venue of the concert about half an hourter.
It was in a high-end location in Yeringham, so not everyone could enter a
ce like this.
Because it was a ssical music concert, those attending would have to put
on a masquerade mask before entry.
That way, it would not be so easy for people to recognize Mackenzie.
Emmanuel spotted a familiar figure shortly after entering the venue. While
others would probably have been uncertain of their observation, Emmanuel
knew there was no way he would mistake that person for anyone else.
“Hey! Where are you going?”
Mackenzie had gently wrapped her arm around Emmanuel’s. Since it was a
huge step for someone like her, she had assumed he would be pleasantly
surprised by her actions. However, he brushed her off and tried to go after
someone else the moment he entered the venue.
How dare he dump me for some other woman?
“I think I just saw my sister, Mackenzie! She might havee here with her
new boyfriend or something!” Emmanuel exined.
Thankfully, Mackenzie found his exnation somewhat eptable.
She knew that Roselynn was Emmanuel’s only sibling and that she was still
single at the age of thirty. It was only natural that Emmanuel would get
concerned about her when he saw her enter a ce like this with another
man.
“Roselynn!” Emmanuel called out to her while running forward.
The couple in front of him turned around in response. Sure enough, the
beautiful woman dressed in white was none other than Roselynn herself.
Roselynn was just as surprised to see her brother here. “Emmanuel? What are
you doing here?”
“I was about to ask you the same thing. Why didn’t you tell me that you got
yourself a boyfriend?” Emmanuel said with a smile.
“Roselynn, is this your brother? Well, he certainly is as tall and strong as you
described. Isn’t he a little underdressed for a ce like this, though?” the man
standing next to Roselynn said before she had a chance to introduce him.
Emmanuel felt a little speechless when he heard that.
Huh? Roselynn’s boyfriend sure has an unusual way of greeting people…
“Yup! This is my brother, Emmanuel! Manny, this is my boyfriend, Jaxton
Oatley! I didn’t tell you about him before because we’ve only started dating
each other today,” Roselynn said, introducing the two.
“Pleasure to make your acquaintance!” Emmanuel greeted Jaxton with a
smile and held his hand out.
Instead of shaking his hand, Jaxton simply nced at him and asked with a
smile, “We’ll soon be family, so there’s no need to stand on ceremony! You
are really tall, Manny! I bet your height is at least one hundred and eighty
centimeters, right?”
群
“I…”
What’s with this guy and his obsession with body heights?
“Manny is one hundred and eighty three centimeters tall!” Roselynn then
turned toward Emmanuel and exined, “Jaxton is an engineer, so he’s a
little particr with numbers. I hope you won’t mind!”
“It’s fine!” Emmanuel replied with a casual smile.

Mackenzie had been observing them from afar. Thanks to her great eyesight,
she could see that Jaxton’s behavior was a result of hisck of confidence.
Sure enough, Jaxton was wearing a pair of elevator shoes to give himself a
slight boost in height. Even so, he was still slightly shorter than Roselynn.
Perhaps he was feeling insecure after realizing that both Roselynn and
Manuel were taller than him.
