Chapter 580


    “What’s the big deal? Just an ordinary guy?”


    “Yeah, why would Ms. Quillen be interested in him?”


    “Is this the real–life version of a loser’seback?”


    “I can’t believe it!”


    The discussion erupted in an instant. Emmanuel could not deny feeling the


    pressure, but he managed to maintain a calm expression. He knew very well


    that he came here today to have a New Year’s Eve dinner with his wife’s


    family, not to meet the public’s aesthetic standards.


    He did not have high expectations for himself because he was only an


    ordinary person. He did not need everyone’s approval as long as Mackenzie


    did not mind.


    Amidst the crowd’s anticipation, she gracefully walked up to him, extending


    her hand and gently linking it with his arm. Witnessing this scene, many


    people in the vicinity gasped in surprise. Everyone should understand by now.


    “Ladies and gentlemen, this is the man I’ve been dating, Emmanuel, during


    my trial period. Thank you for your attention.” Mackenzie finished speaking


    and immediately linked arms with Emmanuel, leading him to their seats.


    The surrounding discussions erupted like an exploding tide, hitting them


    head–on. However, she remainedposed, seemingly unaffected by the


    chatter. Although he was nervous, his heart pounding, he found himself


    somewhat enjoying the current sensation.


    It was not about vanity but the excitement of achieving love and making it


    official. She was his first love! Suddenly, he felt like the luckiest person alive,


    having married the goddess who made his heart skip a beat the first time


    they met.


    Many men looked on at this scene, their hearts breaking. Hubert, in particr,


    felt like he had been shot seven times. He had sincerely liked Mackenzie for


    many years and even made vows on multiple asions that he would


    marry no one but her. What now? His goddess was gone, so did he have to


    be a monk for the rest of his life?


    Unthinkable!


    “Ms. Quillen, congrattions to both of you! Can I offer you a toast and give


    you my blessings?”


    After Mackenzie and Emmanuel took their seats, a group of guests


    immediately made a ruckus lining up to toast the couple. Of course, they


    were all there for Mackenzie; who cared about her man? They did not even


    spare him a second nce!


    While Emmanuel understood this, he did not mind and did his best to support


    his wife.


    “Hey, you big dummy! Mackenzie can’t handle her alcohol. You have to drink


    for her.” Beatrix, seeing the overwhelming number of peopleing to offer


    toasts, quickly approached Emmanuel and reminded him, pouting her lips.


    “You’re still in Mackenzie’s probationary period. If you don’t understand how to


    be considerate and look after her, I’ll be the first to go after you!”


    He smiled bitterly and immediately took three drinks on behalf of Mackenzie,


    assertively protecting his wife. Luckily, he had a good tolerance for alcohol.


    Especially recently, he had received a special medicinal prescription from his


    master, and his meridians were currently undergoing repair while his internal


    energy gradually recovered.


    Seeing this scene, Hubert could no longer bear it and gave Hugo a

    meaningful look. Thetter understood him perfectly and immediately joined


    a few others shouting, “Hey, Emmanuel! Howe we heard that you’re


    physically weak and have erectile dysfunction? Can a guy like you handle


    alcohol? Are you going to risk your life trying to drink?”


    “Haha, indeed! It’s worth dying for if you can drink with Ms. Quillen, even if you


    drink yourself to death!”


    “Come on, let’s go toast him together!”


    “I’m just worried if he’s actually married to Ms. Quillen. What if he drinks


    himself to death and leaves Ms. Quillen widowed?”


    “Hush, what are you saying? With Ms. Quillen’s status, she doesn’tck any


    men! If he drinks himself to death, she’ll just move on to the next one! Haha…”


    The group of people became more vulgar as they spoke.


    However, ording to Chanaea’s customs, when a man and a woman


    confirmed their rtionship, many people believed that the livelier and


    somewhat vulgar the atmosphere, the more festive it was. Many people


    wanted to assert dominance over Emmanuel, so the words and actions of


    Hugo and his group came with implicit support.
