Chapter 249


    “Mackenzie! Mackenzie!” Emmanuel hurriedly chased after her to the door,


    but it was clear that she couldn’t be bothered with him. He retreated with a


    sigh, feeling dejected.


    “What’s wrong, Dr. Lowe?” udette’s tone carried a hint of apology. Her


    strange illness chose to re up at this very moment, and she truly wanted to


    see Emmanuel now, hoping he coulde and help her.


    “I’m sorry, Ms. Lenoir. I can’t go out tonight. Pleasee to the hospital


    tomorrow for a checkup.” He understood what she meant just now, but he


    wasn’t in the mood for it.


    “Oh, okay.” She agreed with a sigh.


    After she hung up the phone, her unsettled emotions continued to linger. She


    didn’t feel a sense of triumph over defeating a love rival. Instead, she felt a


    -wave of guilt.


    Although it wasn’t intentional, it was because of her that Emmanuel and


    Mackenzie ended up in such a state. I feel like a mistress in their rtionship,


    but I really want to be with him. What should I do? At this thought, tears


    welled up uncontrobly in her eyes.


    On the other hand, Emmanuel didn’t have the energy to attend to udette’s


    emotions, for his mind was upied with how to fix his rtionship with


    Mackenzie. She told me to get out, but I don’t want to leave this home.


    After some hesitation, he decided to respect her wishes. After leaving a note


    behind, he left the house.


    Thud! Although he closed the door quietly, Mackenzie still heard it. She quickly


    walked out and discovered that the man had indeed left.


    At this moment, it was already past midnight. Is he going over to udette’s?


    When she noticed the note on the table in the living room, she quickly picked


    it up and read his message. ‘I’m sorry, Ms. Quillen. Maybe I shouldn’t have


    -attended theser tag game, but my rtionship with Ms. Lenoir is purely


    tonic. I didn’t cheat on you. Please believe me. Since this house is yours, I


    will leave if you want me to. If you need me for anything else, you can


    contact me anytime.‘


    These simple words caused the poised and aloof CEO of Terence Group to


    tremble slightly, and she felt a tingling sensation in her nose. Damn it! When


    did I start caring so much about a man?


    As she bit her lip tightly, sheforted herself, saying, It’s good that the idiot


    left on his own. He’s the one at fault, anyway. If I divorce him, Grandpa can’t


    me me.


    That was what she believed, but her body didn’t follow suit. Since she couldn’t`


    sleep, she put on a coat and went outside.


    Through the ss window in the corridor, she saw Emmanuel sitting on a


    bench under the streetlight in the neighborhood.


    She wanted to invite him back inside, but she was the proud Ms. Quillen. How


    could she go back on her words? I was the one who told him to get out. If I


    ask him to return, others will surelyugh at me if they find out. No! No way I’m


    letting that happen.”


    “Hmph, since he’s as strong as a tiger, he won’t freeze to death.”


    Mackenzie ultimately returned to the house, but sleep eluded her.


    The next morning, she left home slightlyter than usual.


    When she reached the garage, she noticed that the Maserati was still there.

    Emmanuel must have taken the electric bike to work.


    Suddenly, her expression turned slightly angry. She was about to call Wally to


    before driving to work.
