Chapter 501


    Emmanuel smiled without giving a straight answer.


    It was obvious. His wife was number one, of course, though her sister was


    quite pretty too.


    Sarah carried on leading Emmanuel further in. Quillen residence was


    massive. They had to go down two long corridors and pass through à


    -luxurious side hall before they reached Felicity’s room.


    Her room was just like Mackenzie’s. Even though it was just a room, it was


    Emmanuel didn’t see a bed when he walked in. Instead, he was greeted by


    what would be an ordinary family’s living room.


    “Emmanuel’s here, Mom!”


    Sarah called out to Felicity who had her back toward the door.


    “Oh!”


    Felicity turned around. She was dressed with finery that befitted a wealthy


    woman.


    “How are you, Mother?”


    For some strange reason, Emmanuel was a little stiff and awkward. He never


    thought his mother-inw would be someone of this ss in society.


    With his level of emotional intelligence, it was already hard enough for him to


    felt even more pressured in Felicity’s presence.


    “Please leave us, Sarah.”


    Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org.


    “Yes, Mom.”


    Sarah turned around and shed Emmanuel a smile before leaving.


    Now that it was just the two of them, Emmanuel became even more nervous.


    He didn’t even know what to do with his hands.


    “Have a seat, Emmanuel. I would like to have a private conversation with you.”


    Felicity had a pleasant smile on her face as she gestured for him to sit.


    Emmanuel nodded. He saw the tea set on Felicity’s table and took the


    initiative to make her a cup of tea. At the very least, he didn’t forget his


    manners.


    Felicity’s intentions had always been to test him, but she didn’t expect him to


    be less unrefined than she thought he was. It seemed as if he did know a


    thing or two. At the very least, he knew how to use the tea-brewing tools on


    her table.


    That being said, it wasn’t going to be that easy to marry into a wealthy family.


    Emmanuel soon realized something. After washing the tea set, he noticed the


    collection of tea bricks on the table. Even the cheapest among them cost


    thousands and the most expensive was worth tens of thousands.


    Felicity’s lips curved up smugly when she saw Emmanuel stiffening.


    “What do you like to drink, Mother?” Emmanuel looked up and asked with a


    smile.


    “Hmm. Let’s go with the Isle Arbor.”


    Felicity also responded with a smile.


    Emmanuel opened up the drawer, only to find it empty.


    “Oh, dear. I forgot that I finished it. Oh, well. Forget it,” Felicity remarked rather


    disappointedly, but her eyes flickered over to Emmanuel.


    Emmanuel knew what she meant. If this had been an ordinary family, the


    son-inw’s job was to immediately head out to buy whatever it was the


    mother-inw wanted and promise to bring two bricks of her favorite tea


    over on his next trip.


    However, this tea wasn’t cheap. It cost tens of thousands per brick of tea!


    If Emmanuel’s sry was still only 25 grand a year, he would have to save


    everything for two years before he could afford to buy a brick of tea for


    Felicity.


    “Sigh. I have been a poor host. I’ll have to get someone to replenish it!”


    Felicity purposely sighed and said to Emmanuel, “Go ahead and make


    whichever tea you like!”


    Emmanuel was in no mood to drink tea now. In the past, he would’ve been


    stuck between either shamelessly sticking around or leaving at once.


    Thankfully, he had over 700 million to his name now. It wouldn’t be a problem


    for him to do his duty as a son-inw and buy some tea for his


    mother-inw.


    “In that case, Mother, on my next visit, I’ll bring you a few bricks of Isle Arbor!”


    Felicity was stunned by Emmanuel’s response.


    Not just one, but a few? Isn’t he an unemployed gynecologist? How can he


    afford that?
