Chapter 500


    Emmanuel soon drove up to the Quillen residence.


    He had been to the Lenoir family’s majestic and imposing vi before.


    Nevertheless, he was astounded at seeing the Quillen residence. Even the


    courtyard of this ce wasrger than his house! And besides, its decoration


    was obviously much more elegant and beautiful than that of the Lenoir


    residence. This ce is simply paradise!


    Even now, he still couldn’t believe that a man of humble stock like him had


    actually married the daughter of such a wealthy family. No one would even

    dare to write a story like this! In the middle of his trance, he forgot how he


    had followed Mackenzie into the main hall. He felt as if he had entered a


    hugebyrinth.


    In the main hall was a long dining table covered with all kinds of delicious


    food. It seemed that a dinner party was about to take ce, but no one else


    from the Quillen family was present yet at the dining table–except for Sarah.


    “Hi, Mackenzie and Manuel!” she said, greeting the couple with a sweet smile.


    Mackenzie didn’t respond, while Emmanuel nodded and replied with a smile,


    “Nice to see you again, Sarah!”


    Sarah continued to smile, saying, “Uh–huh. Dinner’s about to start very soon,


    but Mom asked me to take you to her when you arrive. Manuel, can you


    “No!” replied Mackenzie icily at once.


    It was Felicity who requested that she bring Emmanuel home for dinner. Her


    excuse sounded justifiable: Emmanuel hadn’t visited the Quillens since


    marrying her, so they had toe here for dinner. Such an excuse left her


    with no room for refusal. Terence, of course, agreed to this; after all, he would


    also like to see this grandson–inw of his urge him to have children with his


    granddaughter. However, Mackenzie knew that Felicity must be up to


    something. Nothing good wille out of her meeting Emmanuel alone! she


    thought.


    “Well…” Sarah looked troubled. She looked at Mackenzie, then at Emmanuel.


    Emmanuel also found himself in a tight spot. He hurriedly said to Mackenzie,


    “Mackenzie, this isn’t nice, don’t you think? Your mother is my mother–inw,


    so it’ll be disrespectful of me to refuse when she wants to see me. And


    besides, surely you don’t want me to get into trouble with your family? Should


    that happen, how am I going to visit your home a second time?”


    Mackenzie pursed her lips lightly. I just knew long ago that getting married


    was going to be troublesome, and here I am, tied down by a whole lot of


    ethical and moral customs! Well, since I’ve decided to stay in this marriage, I


    have no choice but to give in sometimes! “Alright, then, you go with her. But


    remember this: no matter what my mother says to you, don’t rush into any


    decision! Come back and tell me about it first. You got it?”


    Emmanuel smiled at her. “Yeah, I got it, Mackenzie!” He had never thought


    before that this icydy would actually have this side to her. Only now did he


    find that she was, in fact, a very good wife.


    Mackenzie didn’t forget to add, “Mm–hmm, just go with her. Hurry up and


    looking for you!” The longer Felicity talked to Emmanuel, the higher the risk, so


    she also had to put pressure on the former. She knew that Sarah was


    Felicity’s most trusted person, so words directed at Sarah would be


    equivalent to words directed at Felicity herself.


    “Well then, Manuel, pleasee with me!” Still smiling, Sarah stood up and


    led Emmanuel out of the main hall.


    As Emmanuel walked behind Sarah, he finally got a good look at what she


    was wearing. “Sarah, you look so pretty today!” he couldn’t help but remark


    with admiration at this moment.


    Today, Sarah was d in an off–the–shoulder white dress that showed off


    her beautiful vicle. Her fair skin looked even lovelier with the sparkling


    diamond ne around her neck, while tied around her waist was a sash


    bow from Chanel, which seemed simple but was by no means cheap. The


    skirt of her dress was so white as though it were transparent, and it vaguely


    showed a woman’s soft outline and silhouette. Not only that, it puffed out


    gracefully at the bottom, revealing Sarah’s slender and smooth legs, which


    looked as if they were carved out of jade. The truth was, Sarah wasn’t as


    coolly and elegantly stunning as Mackenzie, but she was absolutely a


    graceful and pretty girl with her blunt bangs.


    “Haha! Is that so?” Sarah suddenly looked back and tittered with her hand


    over her mouth. “Thanks for thepliment, Manuel. But no matter how


    good–looking I am, I can neverpare with Mackenzie, no?”
