Chapter 228


    As expected of Grandpa, he knows my wife better than anyone else. When


    Emmanuel checked the time, he was surprised it was thatte already.


    “Alright, Grandpa, stay safe. Let me know when you get home. Gotta go now!”


    As soon as he finished his words, he quickly went back to his Maserati and


    headed home. He believed Mackenzie had most likely locked the door since it


    was already past 11.00PM. After all, he had been forced to sleep outside a few


    times now just because he had missed his curfew.


    “Haha. What’s wrong with my grandson–inw? His prowess was unrivaled


    when he was fighting, yet he was afraid of my granddaughter. I guess even a


    tiger can match her in terms of intimidation!” Terenceughed about what


    he said, only to sigh a few secondster.


    The next moment, Alfred emerged from the darkness in the night and jokingly


    said, “It looks like you’re concerned that Ms. Mackenzie would take things a


    little too far with him. Are you afraid that your grandson–inw can’t handle


    her?”


    “Exactly!” Terence sighed and reacted with a long face. “Well, you sent four


    men to rob me, so what do you expect?”


    Alfred responded with his head down, “It was all my fault, Old Mr. Quillen. But it


    seems to me you were enjoying the show, though.”


    “You’re technically right, but it was also a little embarrassing. After all, that


    guy just defeated four of my experts, which is going to embarrass the Quillen


    family if word about it gets out.”


    “But what if people find out he is the Quillen family’s grandson–inw?


    They’re going to think that the Quillen family has grown stronger, don’t you


    think?” Alfred made his point heard, his words resonating with Terence’s mind


    as if he could read his mind.


    “Indeed. That’d be most wonderful! Now, all that’s left is to see whether he


    can handle Mackenzie. If he can, my future great–grandson will certainly be


    such a badass. Haha!”


    By the time Emmanuel drove home, it was already past midnight. When he


    reached the seventeenth floor and tried to open the door to his home, he

    realized it was locked. Damn it! It’s locked!


    He paced back and forth outside the door, seemingly pondering over


    something. Do I have to settle down outside? Or should I give Mackenzie a


    call for her to open the door? In that instant, an idea came to his mind, and


    he decided to call Mackenzie. If the call goes through, she’ll open the door for


    me; if it doesn’t, she is probably asleep, which means she has no intention of


    letting me into the house. If that’s the case, I’ll just sleep outside, then.


    Unfortunately for him, his call went unanswered. Thus, he believed Mackenzie


    must have slept and thought he shouldn’t disturb her anymore. A few


    momentster, just when he was about to make his way to the long bench


    downstairs and settle down there, a bright light suddenly shone from behind


    him. Donning white pajamas, Mackenzie stood at the doorway in all her glory


    and asked, “You wanted me to open the door, but now you’re heading


    downstairs to settle down there?”


    Emmanuel quickly turned around and immediately noticed the unhappy look


    on her face, which made his heart sink. “I’m sorry, Mackenzie! I didn’t know the


    auction would take so long!”


    “Auction?”


    The woman knitted her eyebrows because he didn’t tell her anything earlier


    that night. Thus, she had no idea where he went. When the door was open,


    she immediately noticed the marks and bruises on his arms that indicated


    he had just been in a fight, which irked her even more. Did he get into a fight


    over another woman or something? Therefore, when Mackenzie heard that


    he went to an auction, she stood behind the gate and asked, “What did you


    do in the auction? Did you go there to fight or something?”


    Emmanuel quickly exined, “I only got into a fight because someone tried to


    rob your grandfather. So, I had to step in and stop things from turning ugly. I


    didn’t start it first….” Deep down, he understood why his wife was so angry at


    him; after all, he had already gotten into four fights in the same month of his


    marriage.


    “So, you went to the auction with my grandpa?” Mackenzie had a bad feeling


    about this. Grandpa must have abetted Emmanuel in conducting mischief


    again. No way! I can’t let him in, or he is going to act up!


    Emmanuel had no idea what she was worried about, only nodding his head


    and saying, “Yeah, we did, and I got you a present, so would you please open


    the door?”


    No can do!
