Chapter 565


    Ultimately, Mackenzie was resolved to pry the truth out of Emmanuel!


    Meanwhile, the man finally returned to Yociam Residence. He had not


    contacted his wife beforehand because he wanted to surprise her, but he


    didn’t anticipate that she wouldn’t be home tonight.


    Just as Emmanuel was about to call her, his phone rang. “Hello, Mom?”


    “Manny, are you back in Yeringham?”


    Alessandra was aware of her son’s trip to Eastern Star Mountain, but when he


    returned, he went straight to Lenoir Residence to save udette, so he


    hadn’t had the opportunity to call his mother.


    “Yes. I’m back!”


    “Great. I’m content as long as you return safely,” she said.


    Emmanuel had avoided going into detail with his mother about udette’s


    situation, and Roselynn had done the same to spare her mother’s anxiety.


    Moreover, Alessandra was at the bottom of the socialdder, so she wasn’t


    aware of the upper ss‘ power struggles in Yeringham. She was also


    unaware of the entanglement between the Lenoir and Quillen families until


    today. Aside from her son’s safety, her main concern was her


    daughter–inw. So, she asked, “Manny, New Year’s is just around the corner.


    When are you and Mackenzieing back home?”


    After hearing his mother’s statement, Emmanuel was suddenly reminded


    that New Year’s was approaching. As he reflected on the past three months,


    he realized that he had never expected his marriage tost until the New


    Year. Hmmm! Bringing my wife home for the holidays and spending quality


    time with my mom in the New Year sounds like a wonderful idea. My primary


    concern right now is whether Mackenzie will agree to this. Will she go along


    with this? Even though he was clueless, he responded to his mother, “I’ll go


    home tomorrow to clean the house with you, but I will still have to check


    Mackenzie’s schedule!”


    “Oh dear, do you still have to check her schedule? Is she also working on New


    Year’s Day?” Alessandra was anxious because she and Roselynn had already


    quality time with her family during the festive season. Without my son and


    daughter–inw here for New Year’s, I doubt I would feel the same


    excitement about the holiday.


    “I don’t think she has to work on that particr day.” He quickly reassured his


    mother, “Don’t worry, Mom! I’ll do everything I can to persuade Mackenzie to


    spend the New Year with us, even if it’s only for one day!”


    “I–I’ll wait for your news, then. With that, Alessandra hung up the phone


    worriedly.


    Consequently, Emmanuel had an even greater reason to contact Mackenzie


    and ask if she could apany him back home. However, what happened


    next was beyond his expectations!


    He dialed his wife’s number, and the line went through, but he was cut off


    before he could speak. Instead, she snorted coldly and ranted, “How long has


    it been since you returned? Did you just remember to call me? Sorry, I’m busy


    right now!”


    Toot! Toot!


    When he heard the phone get disconnected, Emmanuel smiled wryly. Her icy


    personality is authentic, and she immediately silenced me before I could


    even utter a word. Is she angry? What should I do now? If only I hadn’t left the


    Quillen residence that day! Hmm… I should talk to Roselynn about this…


    His sister was the only person he could consult for rtionship advice,


    despite her limited rtionship experience. Coincidentally, his phone rang


    just as he was about to call his sister.


    He noticed it was an unknown number from Yeringham, but it wasn’t gged


    as a scam call by the national anti–fraud app. After wondering who might be


    calling, he answered the phone.


    “Hello. May I know if this is… Dr. Lowe?” A sweet and slightly timid voice


    emanated from the other end.


    “Rhea Gomez? Is that you?” Emmanuel truly hadn’t expected it would be her.Original content from N?velDrama.Org.
