Love at the Wrong Table by Emmanuel Lowe
Chapter 264

Chapter 264

After a while, the security guard began to fear Quintus, realizing how powerful

and intimidating he could be with his nunchaku. This man is unquestionably

a trained fighter; I could tell he has trained for at least a decade.

“I… Quintus, why would I accept your challenge? I have to get to work right

now. I don’t have time to play!” Emmanuel explained as he did not intend to

fight him at all. He might be dense, but he was not an idiot. Quintus must be

here because of Mackenzie. However, she is my wife, and why would I use my

wife as a trophy in a fight with another man? Only fools will do that!

“Play? This is a serious problem!” Since Quintus was not immoral, he would

never attack his opponents before establishing conditions. Hence, to stoke

Emmanuel’s passion, he stated, “In other countries, chivalry is one of the most

important qualities in society. Only the strongest and most sincere knights

could win the princess‘ affections!”

He is crazy! Emmanuel sighed.

At this moment, Mackenzie exited the apartment and walked to the security

booth when she noticed the unfolding events. However, she did not stop the

fight since she wanted to see who would be stronger between the two men.

She knew Quintus had been part of the military since he was 9 and had been

training in martial arts for nearly 20 years as he was considered invincible in

Yeringham. In addition, she knew that Emmanuel was no slouch because he

had defeated Samuel’s gang all by himself and rescued her and Beatrix from

the hands of professional killers. Until now, she had never met anyone as

strong as him.

“I admire your passion, Quintus, but I must get to work right now! This is also

not the best place for a fight. Someone might call the police. You wouldn’t

want to be arrested, right? I don’t think a fight between us would end in just a

few minutes. Why don’t you pick another time and place for the challenge?”

Emmanuel was the Wolf Warrior of the north, and while he wasn’t particularly

good with emotions, he was a master of tactics. With that, he quickly figured

out a way to delay the fight.

“You’re right… You’re absolutely right!” Quintus put away his weapon, realizing

he had been acting too recklessly. “Very well. I’ll pick you up on Saturday

morning. We’ll duel in the fighting ring! Bye then.”

However, Emmanuel did not respond with an answer and promptly rode off

since he did not want to fight at all. In which era does Quintus believe we are

currently living? How could anyone still believe a fight can decide the right to

date a woman? What a joke!

The next two days passed in silence.

As Roselynn’s wedding quickly approached, Emmanuel had to return home to

help decorate the house. This meant that he would never return until late at

night, but no matter how late, he would always go home. Alessandra

instructed him to do so because she was concerned for Mackenzie’s safety

and worried that being home alone would be unsettling for her. Although his

sister’s wedding was important, so was his wife because Mackenzie was

Alessandra’s greatest hope of having a grandchild.

On Friday night, Ryder called Emmanuel to express his frustration. “It has been

one week since the fight with Abellyn, and she has not returned home! It feels

like there’s no difference between this and divorce!”

On the other hand, Emmanuel understood what he was going through.

Ryder wanted a divorce but could not bear to say a word for Tommy’s sake. It

did not matter what Emmanuel and Mackenzie recommended or that a

lawyer had already been picked out for the divorce process. Moreover, Ryder

was a straightforward man who could not bear to betray his wife, regardless

of their short relationship. He might have agreed to do it when angry, but now

that his wife gave him the cold shoulder, he had no opportunity to act on his

impulses.

“Mackenzie and I have told you our opinions. Abellyn cheating on you is a

fact. It is your decision whether you decide to forgive her for the sake of your

family or you get a divorce.” Emmanuel was at a loss for what else to advise.

“Fine. If she doesn’t return and attend Rosie’s wedding with me, I’ll divorce her

immediately!” Ryder finally came to a decision.
