Love at the Wrong Table by Emmanuel Lowe
Chapter 284

Chapter 284

Terence was here to visit Emmanuel and Mackenzie. Fortunately, the two

weren’t there to witness the drama.

Meanwhile, the atmosphere in the banquet hall remained joyful.

The speakers were blaring. People in the hall had no idea about what was

happening outside.

Alessandra couldn’t stand the elephant in the room, but the Oatleys asked

her to stay calm. Therefore, she remained in her seat. Since both Emmanuel

and Mackenzie were around, she took the opportunity to catch up.

As expected, she asked mostly about Mackenzie’s condition and whether she

was feeling uncomfortable these days.

The questions embarrassed Mackenzie and Emmanuel.

However, the duo didn’t dare to tell her the truth. After all, they never shared a

bed. Therefore, Mackenzie wouldn’t get pregnant at all.

“You’re a man, Manny. You’re responsible for taking care of Mackenzie.”

Since the youngsters remained quiet, Alessandra took the opportunity to

continue, “You should take over the household chores no matter their nature.

Most importantly, you must take care of Mackenzie’s health. A woman is

meant to be spoiled by her man. Do you understand?”

The words pleased Mackenzie. She purposely glanced at Emmanuel with

pride written all over her face.

She’s different from her father. He favors a son over a daughter, but she

prioritizes the daughter over the son. They’re different to an extreme.

Emmanuel couldn’t stand the pressure. “I understand, Mom. I’ve always been

in charge of the housework.”

He even helped Mackenzie to dry her clothes. At this point, the only thing he

hadn’t done was help her bathe.

If there was more room to nitpick on him, he might as well start to feed

Mackenzie in the future.

“By the way, I’ve got some money. I’ll give them to you later. Remember to

buy nutrition supplements and folic acid tablets for Mackenzie.”

What the hell? Did she say folic acid tablets?

Mackenzie had been pretending to drink the water to avoid getting involved

in the conversation. However, Alessandra’s words took her by surprise. She

couldn’t help but spew the water on Emmanuel’s face.

Emmanuel was embarrassed as he stared at her wordlessly. What is she

doing?

“Don’t worry about it, Mom!” Mackenzie declined such an offer.

“I have to worry about it! Besides, you lent me some money before. I’m going

to pay you back.”

Alessandra was a woman who kept her promise. Even though they were a

-family at this point, she didn’t want to take advantage of her

daughter–in–law.

“It’s fine. Really!” Alessandra’s obstinacy was giving Mackenzie a headache,

but it was touching at the same time. It seems like Emmanuel and his family

aren’t greedy people.

“Listen to me. You have to take them!”

Alessandra turned to Emmanuel. “Manny, you’re taking your sister’s wedding

gift with you. Remember to pay Mackenzie back and buy her some nutrition

supplements with them.”

Knowing his mother, Emmanuel could tell Alessandra was being serious.

There was no room to argue with her regarding this topic.

Mackenzie could see he was about to agree with Alessandra, so she pinched

his thigh under the table. She glared at him, sending him a warning look.

Don’t dare to make a move on me. One false move and you’ll be dead!

Emmanuel winced as he silently endured the pain.

Fortunately, Terence’s invigorating laughter interrupted them. “We meet

again, Mrs. Lowe.”

“There you are, Old Mr. Quillen. Take a seat!”

Alessandra and Terence had been bonding over their past encounters. At

last, the two became good friends.

Terence liked the interactions between him and the simple woman. Even

though he was considered an elder to her, the age difference between them

was no more than twenty years. Therefore, the two shared some common

ground.

As expected, the two talked most about a certain topic, which was urging

Emmanuel and Mackenzie to have children as soon as possible.

The Oatleys, who followed Terence to walk into the banquet hall, finally

realized that Roselynn’s younger brother had married the daughter of the

Quillen family.

Jaxton finally recognized the pretty woman as Mackenzie. No wonder I felt like

Tknew her from somewhere during our first meeting. I’m such an idiot! Why

did I realize it only now?
