Chapter 443


    Emmanuel couldn’t contain hisughter at Mackenzie’s childish expression.


    “Do we really need topare things like this?” he chuckled.


    “Of course! If a woman marries a man who loves her less, she’s at a


    significant disadvantage,” Mackenzie replied seriously. Deep down, she


    worried that he might take offense or feel unhappy with her words. However,


    his response surprised her. Instead of getting upset, he said, “Well, it looks like


    I’ll have to love you even more in the future. Otherwise, you’ll be at a


    disadvantage!”

    The atmosphere in the room shifted with that simple statement, leaving


    Mackenzie stunned as she stared at him, utterly agog. His words came


    straight from his heart, and this time he could truly feel the love Mackenzie


    had for him-something he hadn’t realized before. Of course, he also felt the


    depth of his own love for her, surpassing the initial infatuation he had


    experienced.


    Their eyes locked, and suddenly, the surrounding air seemed to ignite. Then, Emmanuel took a step


    forward as if he was entranced, gently caressing her


    cheek with the back of his hand. The smooth and tender sensation intensified


    the burning feeling in his heart. At that moment, even the most oblivious


    person would recognize that what he felt was love.


    His body felt an intense heat driven by his primitive instincts, and his courage


    swelled to an unprecedented level. Before he knew it, he found himself lightly


    holding her face, his head tilting down to meet her soft cherry lips.


    Simultaneously, Mackenzie’s body trembled intensely. Once again, this man


    kisséd her! Annoyingly, though, this time it felt different from before. Although


    she instinctively put up a meager fight, her body responded to the pleasure,


    as if she was melting away. She slowly closed her eyes, ready to let


    Emmanuel take what he desired.


    However, it seemed as though Emmanuel had suddenly regained his senses.


    His face flushed with embarrassment, and he quickly took two steps back,


    apologizing profusely, “I’m sorry! I… I didn’t mean to!” Mackenzie widened-her


    eyes in disbelief, staring at his apologetic expression. Was this man a fool?


    She hadn’t resisted him at all, so why did he stop and apologize?


    She was unable to bear his apologies any longer, so she pped him across


    the face and spoke coldly, “You’re in trouble if you dare to do this again next


    time!” After she delivered him a stern talking to, she turned around with a


    flushed face and retreated back into the room. She leaned against the door,


    and pressed a hand against her chest, feeling her heart pound.


    Emmanuel covered his face, consumed by regret. When did he be this


    kind of person? Acting like a pervert and taking the initiative like that was not


    who he wanted to be. He sighed, realizing that hisck of self-control was to


    me. It was all because Mackenzie had charmed him with her everything.


    He résolved not to repeat his actions in the future, fearing that his wife would


    be enraged and ignore him.


    The next morning, Emmanuel woke up early and found that Mackenzie had


    already risen and freshened up. He couldn’t help but exim, “Aren’t you Ms.


    Quillen from the Quillen family? You’re the female CEO of thepany. Why


    are you heading to work earlier than the employees?”


    She retorted, “You’re not sleeping in either! Is there a rule that bosses can’t


    start work earlier than the employees?”


    Surprisingly, he nodded earnestly and replied, “Well, I just worry about you.


    Other bosses are all rxed and carefree. Why do you have to work so hard?”


    His somewhat foolish yet genuine question once again made her heart


    flutter.
