Chapter 199


    “Your medical skills are really remarkable when you know both traditional


    and modern medicine, Dr. Lowe! Even many veteran doctors are not your


    match! Why did you decide to be a gynecologist?”


    In truth, udette had wanted to ask that question a long time ago.


    Besides the fact that Emmanuel was tall, dark, and handsome, she found him


    different from other men because he emanated a mysterious aura. Like a


    storybook, he riveted her interest.


    “You tter me, Ms. Lenoir.”


    s, Emmanuel merely brushed it off without replying to her question.


    The reason had something to do with his retirement from the military in


    Northern Region, but he did not want to tell anyone about it.


    Perceiving that he did not want to answer, udette tactfully gave up


    pursuing the matter further. Since she already had him look her over and had


    no other business there, she could only get to her feet and leave.

    When she reached the door, however, she could not help ncing back over


    her shoulder. “Are you free this Saturday, Dr. Lowe?”


    Frederick was right outside the door, pretending to be busy. In reality, he was


    secretly watching udette pursue his best friend.


    Tsk, tsk, I always thought that she was reserved. Unexpectedly, she’s so


    tant this time! Is she openly asking a married man out?


    “Sorry, Ms. Lenoir, but I have a prior engagement this Saturday. I’m going for a


    “Oh, I see.”


    udette feigned disappointment despite actually having known about it.


    She then added, “I also love ying such a recreational game. Do you mind


    bringing me along, Dr. Lowe?”


    “Uh, I’ve got to ask the person organizing things first.”


    “Sure. Thank you!”


    “No problem!”


    Finally, udette left.


    Emmanuel promptly texted Beatrix, asking whether he could bring another


    person. Naturally, his request was approved.


    In fact, Beatrix furtively snickered.


    Well, udette is really daring! She knows full well that Manuel is married, yet


    she’s still throwing herself at him like a moth to a me. While she looks


    innocent and shy, she’s surprisingly bold in love!


    Conversely, Emmanuel did not give the matter much thought after it had


    been settled. Being a dense man, he never bothered to postte about


    women’s intentions. Of course, his wife was the exception to that.


    After getting off work at the hospital, he went to Terence Group’s


    headquarters as usual.


    Mackenzie had to attend a social event that night and did not need him to


    pick her up, so he went home alone when he finished his part–time job.


    He was not a permanent employee of Terence Group yet. As such, he was


    not allowed to enter the office. Part–timers usually worked at night without


    any opportunity to interact with resident staff. Thus, he had no way of seeing


    his wife during working hours.


    As he drove past an intersection, his Maserati was abruptly stopped by a


    Land Rover.


    Hmm, this Land Rover looks somewhat familiar. Doesn’t it belong to Quintus?


    Did he seek me out for something or other? But on second thought, I rode an


    electric bike back then. Hence, it makes no sense for him to know that this car


    is mine.


    “I’ve waited for you for an eternity, Ms. Quillen! You imed to have a social


    event, but…”


    Quintus climbed out of the Land Rover with a smug expression on his face,


    mistakenly assuming that he had sessfully intercepted his goddess,


    Mackenzie.


    Ah, such a game is thrilling to the core!


    But upon making out the man in the driver’s seat, he was wholly stunned.


    “How could it be you, buddy?”


    Emmanuel was likewise amused. “Exactly! I also found it strange that you


    recognized my car!”


    At that, Quintus guffawed. “Why does your car look so much like my


    woman’s?”


    Seizing advantage of that opportunity, Emmanuel ventured, “Your woman?


    You look pretty sessful, Mr. Lenoir. Your woman must be something else,


    huh?”


    “Haha, but of course! My woman is the most beautifuldy in Yeringham, the


    heiress of the Quillen family!” Quintus dered proudly.


    “Oh, I see!” Realization dawned upon Emmanuel, but a hint of dubiousness


    showed in his eyes. “But I heard from my sister that she’s high and mighty.


    That aside, it’s rumored that she has never been in a rtionship. Some even


    say that she’s a lesbian?”


    “Haha, those are all baseless rumors! I’ll bag her sooner orter! At that time,


    I’ll introduce her to you!” Quintus proimed confidently.


    “Sure!”


    Emmanuel was not rolling with the punches to say that. He had long since


    wanted to have a look at the heiress of the Quillen family and see whether


    her beauty really surpassed that of his wife.
