Chapter 284


    Terence was here to visit Emmanuel and Mackenzie. Fortunately, the two


    weren’t there to witness the drama.


    Meanwhile, the atmosphere in the banquet hall remained joyful.


    The speakers were ring. People in the hall had no idea about what was


    happening outside.


    Alessandra couldn’t stand the elephant in the room, but the Oatleys asked


    her to stay calm. Therefore, she remained in her seat. Since both Emmanuel


    and Mackenzie were around, she took the opportunity to catch up.


    As expected, she asked mostly about Mackenzie’s condition and whether she


    was feeling ufortable these days.


    The questions embarrassed Mackenzie and Emmanuel.


    However, the duo didn’t dare to tell her the truth. After all, they never shared a


    bed. Therefore, Mackenzie wouldn’t get pregnant at all.


    “You’re a man, Manny. You’re responsible for taking care of Mackenzie.”


    Since the youngsters remained quiet, Alessandra took the opportunity to


    continue, “You should take over the household chores no matter their nature.


    Most importantly, you must take care of Mackenzie’s health. A woman is


    meant to be spoiled by her man. Do you understand?”


    The words pleased Mackenzie. She purposely nced at Emmanuel with


    pride written all over her face.


    She’s different from her father. He favors a son over a daughter, but she


    prioritizes the daughter over the son. They’re different to an extreme.


    Emmanuel couldn’t stand the pressure. “I understand, Mom. I’ve always been


    in charge of the housework.”


    He even helped Mackenzie to dry her clothes. At this point, the only thing he


    hadn’t done was help her bathe.


    If there was more room to nitpick on him, he might as well start to feed


    Mackenzie in the future.


    “By the way, I’ve got some money. I’ll give them to youter. Remember to


    buy nutrition supplements and folic acid tablets for Mackenzie.”


    What the hell? Did she say folic acid tablets?


    Mackenzie had been pretending to drink the water to avoid getting involved


    in the conversation. However, Alessandra’s words took her by surprise. She


    couldn’t help but spew the water on Emmanuel’s face.


    Emmanuel was embarrassed as he stared at her wordlessly. What is she


    doing?


    “Don’t worry about it, Mom!” Mackenzie declined such an offer.


    “I have to worry about it! Besides, you lent me some money before. I’m going


    to pay you back.”


    Alessandra was a woman who kept her promise. Even though they were a


    -family at this point, she didn’t want to take advantage of her


    daughter–inw.


    “It’s fine. Really!” Alessandra’s obstinacy was giving Mackenzie a headache,


    but it was touching at the same time. It seems like Emmanuel and his family


    aren’t greedy people.


    “Listen to me. You have to take them!”


    Alessandra turned to Emmanuel. “Manny, you’re taking your sister’s wedding


    gift with you. Remember to pay Mackenzie back and buy her some nutrition


    supplements with them.”


    Knowing his mother, Emmanuel could tell Alessandra was being serious.


    There was no room to argue with her regarding this topic.


    Mackenzie could see he was about to agree with Alessandra, so she pinched


    his thigh under the table. She red at him, sending him a warning look.


    Don’t dare to make a move on me. One false move and you’ll be dead!


    Emmanuel winced as he silently endured the pain.

    Fortunately, Terence’s invigoratingughter interrupted them. “We meet


    again, Mrs. Lowe.”


    “There you are, Old Mr. Quillen. Take a seat!”


    Alessandra and Terence had been bonding over their past encounters. At


    Terence liked the interactions between him and the simple woman. Even


    though he was considered an elder to her, the age difference between them


    was no more than twenty years. Therefore, the two shared somemon


    ground.


    As expected, the two talked most about a certain topic, which was urging


    Emmanuel and Mackenzie to have children as soon as possible.


    The Oatleys, who followed Terence to walk into the banquet hall, finally


    realized that Roselynn’s younger brother had married the daughter of the


    Quillen family.


    Jaxton finally recognized the pretty woman as Mackenzie. No wonder I felt like


    Tknew her from somewhere during our first meeting. I’m such an idiot! Why


    did I realize it only now?
