Chapter 616


    “Well, then…” Emmanuel was also reasonable. He sighed and said, “I’m sorry,


    looks like I have to figure something out. I genuinely like you and want to be


    with you. I want us to grow old together and to be buried in the same ce.”


    Mackenzie was too stunned to say anything. Who confesses. so out of the


    blue? I’m not ready for this! She blushed slightly, somewhat satisfied with his


    foolish attitude. She did not continue to give him a hard time and quickly


    changed the subject. “Now that my grandfather and I havee to your


    house for the New Year, is there something else we should do next?”


    “Of course there is!”


    “What is it?” she asked. Since she was here, she would fulfill her role as a wife.


    She would not give up halfway like Emmanuel because that was not her


    style! As the female CEO of Terence Group, she valued efficiency and


    reputation in her work. Marriage was no exception.


    Emmanuel looked at the time and smiled. “Perfect timing. I’ll take you to meet


    our old godfather in the vige!”


    :


    “Old grandfather?” Mackenzie frowned, wondering why it was so troublesome.


    In the Hero’s Vige, the church shouldered a sacred ce. A long time ago,


    it used to be a vige school but was reced by public academics as time


    passed and society developed. The old teacher became unemployed and


    the school was converted into a church for worship.


    Respected and revered by everyone in the vige, the old teacher had


    students throughout the whole town. As one would say, a teacher resembled


    a father. Since the old teacher never married, his disciples, as a sign of


    respect, had their descendants address him as godfather.


    Emmanuel’s grandfather was also a disciple of the old teacher, so his father


    referred to him as the godfather. In Emmanuel’s generation, they addressed


    him as the old godfather. The situation in other families in the vige was


    probably simr to his. So, gradually, the old teacher became the old


    godfather of the entire Hero’s Vige.


    On the way to the church, Terence got curious and asked Emmanuel for


    information regarding the old godfather. He was surprised and asked, “Are


    you saying the old godfather of Hero’s Vige is over a hundred years old? He

    participated in the war eighty years ago?”


    Emmanuel nodded. “That’s right. Many descendants in Hero’s Vige are


    inspired by his patriotic spirit and volunteered to go to the border, sacrificing


    their lives to defend our great country’snd and rivers!”


    He was one of them. So, the old godfather held a high position in his heart.


    “Well, it seems he is truly an admirable old man!” Terence also nodded, eager


    to meet this legendary figure in the Hero’s Vige. After all, very few people in


    the world could be considered his peers at his age!


    Alfred walked alongside him without saying a word, but his narrowed eyes


    revealed a hint of curiosity. On the other hand, Mackenzie remained silent


    throughout the journey and quietly walked.


    Along the way, everyone’s eyes were on her, rendering her somewhat


    distracted. Although she had been the center of attention since taking over


    as the CEO of Terence Group, the feeling of being adored today was different


    from before.


    In the past, those who adored her had no connection with her and only


    sought to tter her for their interests, which she had no interest in and even


    found repulsive. However, the vigers of Hero’s Vige, apart from some


    men, had pure admiration for her, giving her the feeling of being a top star


    and meeting genuine fans.


    “Look, Emmanuel and his wife havee to church!” The moment Emmanuel


    and his group arrived at the open space in front of the church, someone


    immediately shouted.


    It was Shane, and it was obvious that he loved to attract attention. After all,


    as Emmanuel’s junior, he should also bask in some of his senior’s prestigious


    glory, right?


    Many were devoutly waiting for the old godfather in front of the open space


    of the church. Upon hearing Shane’s call, they turned to look at Emmanuel


    and Mackenzie, who suddenly felt a hostile gaze and instinctively looked in


    that direction.


    The woman looking at her was none other than Emmanuel’s childhood friend,


    Queenie!
