Chapter 454


    Mackenzie, what’s going on? Are you the one who usually cooks at home?”


    Felicity questioned, her eyes fixed on Emmanuel.


    Sarah also wore a stunned expression as she looked at him, finding it


    unbelievable. Does this man have such great charm? Even my proud and independent sister treats him


    so considerately?


    Mackenzie was ready to exin and rify the situation to him, but to her surprise, he disyed a


    higher level of emotional intelligence than she had


    anticipated.


    Smiling, he exined, “Mother, you’ve misunderstood! Normally, I’m the one who does the cooking at


    home. However, tonight Mackenzie insisted that her culinary skills surpassed mine and wanted to


    prove it by preparing a meal herself. So, she took on the role of the master chef!”


    Felicity finally breathed a sigh of relief and nodded. “I see! Yes, she’s a genius.


    Even though she doesn’t cook often, her culinary skills are impressive!”


    Mackenzie was momentarily stunned, unable to resist secretly giving the two


    a thumbs-up.


    Giving Emmanuel a thumbs-up was a testament to his strong survival


    instinct. Despite appearing silly and clueless most of the time, he had a knack


    for conversing with his mother-inw.


    Meanwhile, giving Felicity a thumbs-up was praise for her ability to fabricate


    stories and deceive not only others but also herself.


    What’s more, when did she ever cook for them at home? How did she even


    know that Mackenzie’s culinary skills were good?

    “Well, looks like we’re in for a treat tonight!” Emmanuel echoed Felicity’s words


    and smiled. “Please take your seats. I’ll serve the food for you!”


    She nodded and took a seat gracefully. Despite her disapproval of him being


    with Mackenzie, she did not show it at all.


    On the other hand, Sarah followed him, eager to assist him in serving the dishes.


    “Sarah, I can handle it! Please take a seat!” Emmanuel did not want a young


    miss like Sarah to do such chores and promptly intervened to stop her.


    She, however, had a radiant smile and a down-to-earth demeanor. “It’s


    alright, Emmanuel. I’m used to doing household chores at home.”


    “Oh?” Emmanuel was slightly taken aback, finding it hard to imagine such a


    scene. How can a youngdy from an affluent family like yours still do


    household chores at home? Do the Quillen family’s servants just idle around?


    “Mackenzie, the dishes are appetizing. Sarah appeared well-behaved,


    praising Mackenzie’s culinary skills while serving the dishes.


    Mackenzie’s demeanor, on the other hand, was unusually cold, a stark


    contrast to how she treated her younger sister Beatrix.


    ver, she chose not to respond to Sarah and refrained from making


    harsh remarks. After all, she believed in not attacking someone who


    approached with a smile.


    Surprisingly, the dinner proceeded harmoniously


    Emmanuel was aware of Follcity holding a low opinion of him. However, he


    noticed that she refrained from making any offensive or targeted remarks,


    possibly due to her maturity or out of concern for Mackonzle’s feelings.


    On the other hand, Sarah was incredibly well-behaved, showcasing a stark


    contrast to Mackenzie. She did not rosemble a privileged heiress and showed


    no signs of being spoiled. After the med, she willingly helped tidy up the


    tableware and even offered to assist with washing the dishes.


    Of course, he would not allow her to wash the dishes. However, when he


    finished washing and came out of the kitchen, he was surprised that Sarah


    had helped pack the trash in the garbage bin.


    Not only that, but she had also peeled some apples and ced them on the


    table. Her demeanor resembled that of a well-mannered daughter from an


    ordinary family rather than that of a wealthy heiress.


    “Mackenzie, we’re leaving now. Make sure to get some rest early!” After


    dinner, Felicity prepared to take her leave.


    Emmanuel was taken aback. He had anticipated a challenging task during


    Felicity’s visit tonight and did not expect it to go so smoothly.


    “Mother, won’t you stay a little longer?” He even considered inviting Felicity to


    stay a while longer.


    “No, thank you. My car is parked downstairs, and if I leave it there for too long,


    I might end up with a parking ticket!” She insisted on leaving, knowing that overstaying her wee


    would likely displease Mackenzie.

    He was well aware of the constantly limited parking spaces in Yociam


    Residence. Therefore, he did not continue with the formalities.


    “Goodbye, Emmanuel!” Sarah also said her goodbyes but then turned back


    and added, “By the way, are you interested in having a small rockery on your balcony? I happen to


    have a friend who specializes in that!”
