Chapter 440


    Felicity was a little miffed when she heard Mackenzie still talking to her in that


    tone. Though, she didn’t lose her temper.


    The next moment, she heard Emmanuel quietly say to Mackenzie, “Hey, how


    can you speak to your mother with this attitude?”


    In his heart, he also felt it was wrong for Mackenzie to say such things. After


    all, mothers always wanted the best for their daughters. Besides, it was true


    that his status was indeed not worthy of Mackenzie.


    “You, too! Shut up!”


    Mackenzie became angry and red at Emmanuel. This idiot! I’ve chosen to


    be with him, yet he still wanted to speak up for my mother?! What is he


    thinking?!


    Scared by her angry expression, the man could only keep quiet and stay out


    of their mother-daughter conversation.


    Felicity was a smart woman, so she instantly knew the situation on the other


    side. She never expected that her daughter would even have that man by


    her side during their phone call. It seems like their rtionship is way closer


    than I thought! Could it be that they have consummated their marriage?


    Thinking about this, Felicity felt ufortable, but she still wanted to confirm


    it personally. So, she continued, “Mackenzie, I’lle and see you tomorrow.”


    “What do you want to do bying here?” Mackenzie responded cautiously.


    Emmanuel couldn’t help but gently pat her shoulder, his eyes telling her she


    should respect her mother. Regardless of what had happened between


    them, children should always show filial piety to their mothers. At least, that


    was what he thought.


    Mackenzie nced at his eyes and understood what he meant, furrowing her


    brows in acknowledgment.


    However, Felicity, who was unaware of the man she despised speaking up for


    her in front of her daughter yet again, casually found an excuse in response


    to Mackenzie’s question. “I’ve never visited you after you got married. So,


    tomorrow, I’ll fulfill my responsibilities as a mother. Otherwise, Emmanuel


    might think I haven’t been visiting you both all this time because I dislike him.”


    Mackenzie couldn’t help butugh mirthlessly. This woman still wants to


    pretend, huh? It’s so obvious that she doesn’t like Emmanuel, though!


    However, Emmanuel had been right to remind her to mind her manners.


    Felicity was still her mother, no matter how distant their rtionship might be.


    That was a fact that couldn’t change.


    “Whatever. So, when will youe?”


    “Well, around 6.00PM tomorrow. You should be off work and at home by then.”


    Felicity confirmed the time.


    “Okay.”


    With that, Mackenzie hung up the call. Regardless of Felicity’s intentions, her


    willingness toe here made their marriage seem more genuine.


    Otherwise, it felt like their marriage was just a game and nothing serious.


    After Mackenzie hung up the phone, Emmanuel seized the chance and said,


    “Mackenzie, since your mother ising, why don’t you go and get ready? I’ll


    take care of the kitchen.”


    In truth, he felt sorry for his wife doing all the housework, so he found an


    excuse.


    Mackenzie knew what he was trying to do, so she red at him and coldly


    asked, “What? Am I not doing it well, or do you just look down on me? Aren’t

    the dishes I washed just fine?”


    The man was left speechless for a moment. Then, he teasingly said, “Yes,


    they are. They’re looking brand new even!”


    “You-shut up!”


    Her pretty face instantly turned red. She angrily sshed water on her


    husband’s face before exiting the kitchen.


    Ugh! Emmanuel touched his nose, thinking of how foolish he was. Once again,


    he had upset his wife. Though, it was true that the chores in the kitchen were


    not suitable for his goddess-like wife to do.


    Just as he finished tidying up the kitchen and walked out, his phone started


    ringing.
