Chapter 263


    After arriving home, Mackenzie locked herself in the bedroom, mming the


    door shut with a loud bang. It was clear that she did not intend to speak to


    Emmanuel.


    Nevertheless, he was helpless because he knew his wife’s temper was


    explosive. If I had done something inappropriate, that would exin her


    anger, but I haven’t! In any case, she threw a tantrum and used me of


    having an affair with udette. As he was seething with anger still, he soon


    returned to his room to turn in for the night.


    When she heard a door click shut, her anger burned brighter upon seeing he


    had not even tried to calm her down. “What an absolutely useless fool. Would


    it kill him to learn to tter and flirt like Hubert and Quintus?” she grumbled.


    Then, she sighed. How could a wife be asked to appease her husband during


    a fight? Does he think I’ll go out of my way to make amends with him? He is


    as dumb as rocks! Why did Grandpa choose such a husband for me? This is


    so infuriating!


    The next morning, Mackenzie woke up to find the man, who was as dumb as


    rocksying out a breakfast spread on the table. After two days of giving


    each other the cold shoulder, she suddenly realized Emmanuel’s importance


    in the household.


    “I made you breakfast, Ms. Quillen!” he greeted. While he was still angry at her,


    he was not a petty man and would not refuse to make her breakfast just


    because they were fighting.


    “Got it,” she huffed. Mackenzie was initially moved by Emmanuel’s actions.


    She would have forgiven him when he said something sweet, but the fool


    then resumed his formal tone. However, she noticed he had forcefully kept

    them at a distance again.


    After hearing her nd response, he felt displeased. Why is she so difficult to


    deal with?


    When he had finished his breakfast and was about to leave the apartment,


    he noticed she had just finished cleaning up and was sitting at the dining


    table. However, he could only spare a few minutes to speak to her, so he


    focused on the most pressing matter at hand. “My sister’s wedding


    ceremony is this Saturday. I hope you’ll be there with me, Ms. Quillen.”


    Since they were still married, his sister was also hers. Emmanuel knew it


    would be detrimental to Mackenzie’s reputation if she did not attend the


    wedding. Moreover, he was also concerned about making his family


    suspicious of his marriage.


    “That soon?” she asked, surprised. “She just started dating him, right?”


    “Yes, it’s a little fast.” He had been just as shocked when he received the news


    speed is nothingpared to us.”


    Mackenzie huffed coldly in response. This hasty wedding is the cause of my


    current state of anger. “That’ll depend on my mood on the day.” She had


    purposefully avoided saying yes right away because she wanted to see if


    Emmanuel would try to cheer her up, and if he did not make any attempts by


    Saturday, she would not be apanying him.


    He sighed upon hearing this. Why is it so hard tomunicate with her? Still,


    it is best to stick with this until the wedding is over. Furthermore, the situation


    is much better now, and the rest can be discussedter.


    After he had left on his scooter, a Land Rover pulled out of nowhere and


    blocked his path. Suddenly, he had a bad feeling about this. Yesterday, he


    had finally broken the ice with Mackenzie, but in doing so, he had made


    Quintus his enemy.


    Emmanuel knew that Quintus was unlike Hubert because he was a man who


    expressed his emotions honestly. Consequently, he realized that Quintus


    would be a difficult adversary to deal with, but he also did not wish to be


    Quintus‘ enemy.


    The car door swung open at this moment as Quintus marched down with a


    nunchaku. Since he was over six foot two, most people would be quivering in


    fear as soon as they saw him.


    On the other hand, Emmanuel was a tough man and a fighter, which was the


    only reason he did not turn his tail and run. He even forced a bitter smile and


    greeted, “Morning, Quintus!”


    “Shut up! If you’re a man, you’ll take up my challenge right now!” Not only was


    Quintus a burly man, but he was also the owner of a very loud voice. One


    roar, and he had the attention of every security guard in the area.


    One of the security guards tried to do his job and stop the fight, but his


    want to die? Can’t you see the air of murder lurking around him? You could


    die if you try to stop him!”
