Chapter 781
Emmanuel arrived at Terence Group a little before 6 p.m. only to learn that
Mackenzie had already gone home.
He was puzzled. Is she okay? This has never happened before.
With a hint of worry, Emmanuel hurriedly drove home.
Upon opening the door, he found Mackenzie slouching on the couch, her
beautiful eyes half-closed, seemingly asleep.
Emmanuel felt a pang of heartache.
After being married for over three months, this was the first time he had seen
her looking so tired.
Concerned that she might be ufortable sleeping like this, Emmanuel
gently tried to lift her up to put her back on the bed.

To his surprise, Mackenzie was still quite awake. Just as he ced hisrge
hand on her shoulder, she suddenly opened her eyes.
Seeing her vignt look, Emmanuel felt a bit embarrassed and quickly
exined, “I only meant to carry you to bed.”

Mackenzie’s gaze became even more alert in response.
Only then did Emmanuel realize that his words could be interpreted
ambiguously, so he further exined, “What I mean is, I wanted to carry you
to bed to sleep. The position here is notfortable!”
Feeling that Mackenzie was still giving him a strange look, Emmanuel started
to feel a bit frustrated. How did this turn into such a misunderstanding?!
“That’s alright. I won’t sleep anymore.”
Mackenzie knew that he didn’t mean it that way; she just thought he was a
fool. Has he really never considered sleeping with me?!
“Okay then, if you’re too tired, you should wash up and go to bed early.”
Emmanuel let go of her shoulder and expressed his concern.
Suddenly, Mackenzie remembered that Wally helped her bring in the bag of
peaches earlier and had left it on the table.
Having just been dozing off and now feeling a bit thirsty, she asked,
“Emmanuel, can you help me wash the peaches?”
What?! Emmanuel thought he was hallucinating. What did Mackenzie ask me
to help wash?! Has our marital rtionship progressed to this point?
“What’s wrong? Can’t you?” Mackenzie sat up andzily stretched her waist.
The curve of her figure was like a deadly weapon, capable of destroying
anyone’sposure.
“Um… Is this really okay?” Emmanuel, who was impervious to any woman’s
charms, suddenly became nervous as if he had been electrified. His entire
body tensed up.
Is she testing me?
“What’s wrong? Don’t you want to?” Mackenzie looked at him, her eyebrows
slightly furrowed.
“I… I do.” Emmanuel could only nod and unconsciously swallowed.
Seems like Mackenzie’s serious about this. Is she so tired that she doesn’t
even have the energy to wash up?
Mackenzie thought he had seen the bag of peaches, so she stood up directly
and turned around, saying, “I’ll go brush my teeth first, then!”
She had a bit of an obsession with cleanliness. After dozing off for a while, she
would brush her teeth before eating.
“Wait!” Emmanuel quickly stopped her.
“What’s the matter?” Mackenzie turned to look at him.
Every single moment with this woman was a beautiful scene.
“How do you usually like to wash? Do you want to use the bathtub?”
This being his first time with Mackenzie, he thought he couldn’t afford to be
careless.
“I… I do.” Emmanuel could only nod and unconsciously swallowed.

Mackenzie paused for a moment. Being as smart as she was, she
immediately understood that Emmanuel, the big fool, had misunderstood.
He didn’t see the bag of peaches, did he?
She had thought about rifying right away, but upon second thought, he
decided to see if this man had the audacity.
“No need for the bathtub!” said Mackenzie as she revealed a smile that was
both teasing and mysterious before striding away gracefully.
