Love at the Wrong Table by Emmanuel Lowe
Chapter 266

Chapter 266

“Hmph! Finally, you see my beauty,” Roselynn said.

She was so proud of how she looked that she even struck a pose.

“I am your brother, Roselynn. I am not your husband. Save the poses for when

you’re married,” Emmanuel protested with an awkward laugh.

“Huh? Are you tired of living?! I’ll teach you one last lesson before I’m married

off!”

The siblings started play–fighting.

They only stopped when Alessandra walked into the room.

“Honestly, Roselynn, it’s your big day. How can you fight with your brother as if

you’re some tomboyish little girl? Go in and get ready now. The guests are

about to arrive!”

Alessandra delivered her lecture in a gentle voice.

“Mom, it’s only 7.00AM. Who would be here this early?”

Roselynn pouted as she protested. To her surprise, someone actually

appeared soon after she said that.

It was her boss and best friend, Claudette.

“Ms. Lenoir? You’re here! Come, sit!”

Alessandra was both awed and terrified.

Even Roselynn was surprised.

While Roselynn was close to Claudette, she was still her boss and a member

of high society.

It was such an honor for Claudette to be the first guest to arrive at her

wedding.

“No need to be so polite. I’m here to help Roselynn with her makeup.”

As Claudette sweetly spoke to Alessandra, she kept sneaking glances at

Emmanuel. However, she soon kept her eyes off of him.

None of the other women knew she liked him, not even Roselynn.

After all, in Roselynn’s mind, Claudette was a publicly acknowledged idol of

Yeringham while Emmanuel was the densest man alive who failed 18

matchmaking attempts. He was undeserving of even wishing to get together

with Claudette, so why would Claudette like him?

There was an awkward look on Emmanuel’s face. He could not resist recalling

Claudette’s face that evening when she confessed her love for him.

Was she telling the truth?

There was no way she liked him, right?

Thankfully, Claudette soon followed Roselynn into her room to get ready.

Emmanuel did not interact with Claudette at all, except for a brief exchange

of glances.

“Oh, that’s right. Manny, is Mackenzie coming today?”

Alessandra’s voice quivered with anxiety.

From, inside the bride’s room, Claudette perked up her ears. Oh, how she

envied Mackenzie. Why did she not think of getting married to Emmanuel

first? Was she always going to lose out to Mackenzie?

“She said she would come. I’m sorry, though. She said she doesn’t have time

to help Roselynn with her makeup.”

He made sure to pass on the message Mackenzie told him to.

“Oh, that’s fine. Your sister’s friend will be helping with the makeup anyway!”

Alessandra grinned. It had been so long since she last saw Mackenzie.

Unbeknownst to her, Terence Quillen was currently all dressed up and waiting

at the Quillen residence. He would be attending the Lowe family’s wedding

later that day.

Of course, according to tradition, he would also be bringing Felicity,

Mackenzie’s mother, with him.

Felicity did not want to go. To her, it was a waste of time, and she would have

to play along with being poor with Terence. It would be so uncomfortable.

Hence, she had not gotten ready for the wedding yet.

On the other hand, Beatrix was clamoring to go. “Grandpa! I want to see

Manuel’s sister’s wedding. It’ll be fun! Bring me with you!”

“No way! You didn’t pretend to be poor before, so if you go, they’ll know who

we are!” Terence replied with a laugh. As someone who was forever young at

heart, he was happy to prank his in–laws by pretending to be poor.

However, when he got into the rather old car and called for Felicity, Beatrix let

out a huff.

“Do you think I can’t go just because you won’t bring me with you? Not only

will I be attending today’s wedding, but I will also be going to tomorrow’s

wedding as well. I might not be Mackenzie’s sister, but I am Emmanuel’s

boss!”

“If you won’t acknowledge me as your granddaughter, I’ll be your

grandson-in–law’s boss. Either way, you’ll be seeing me there, and you have

to be very respectful to me,” she continued with a giggle.

Her mumblings made Alfred sigh. This entire family certainly loved to have

fun.
