Love at the Wrong Table by Emmanuel Lowe
Chapter 285

Chapter 285

Felicity kept quiet the whole time. She was attending the banquet as

Terence’s companion.

Not long after that, Claudette came into the hall as well.

Instead of sharing the table with the bridesmaids, she followed Terence and

joined Emmanuel and his family at their table.

Indeed, the guests at the table drew all attention to them.

After all, the most respected man, the most beautiful woman, and the other

important figures in Yeringham were sharing that table.

Emmanuel could feel the guests‘ gazes on him, but he decided that it was

due to Mackenzie’s and Claudette’s gorgeousness.

“Manny, I rarely have a chance to talk to you. Today, I have something to tell

you in your mother’s presence.”

The conversation between Terence and Alessandra was cut short when

Terence sat taller in his seat with a serious expression. He shot Emmanuel a

stern look.

Emmanuel tensed at the man’s piercing gaze. Is he going to lecture me on

staying loyal to Mackenzie due to what happened between me and

Claudette?

“Grandpa, it’s not what it looks like. I-” Emmanuel immediately explained. He

didn’t want Terence and Felicity to misunderstand.

Terence’s words came out before Emmanuel could finish his sentence. “When

are you two going to have a baby? Now that your family elders are here, you

need to make a promise. An unbreakable promise.”

W–What? A promise to have a baby? The words took Emmanuel aback. That’s

what he wanted to talk about?

The guests at the table had different expressions on them.

Felicity was watching Emmanuel as well. Even though she seemed

expressionless, her eyes suggested otherwise.

Mackenzie stared at Emmanuel. Her cold eyes warned him to watch his

mouth, or else he would be dead.

Claudette pursed her lips. Her eyes darted from Emmanuel’s face to

Mackenzie’s. Her heart sank at the words.

If Emmanuel agreed with Terence, not only would Mackenzie fight him, but it

would also break Claudette’s heart.

However, if he decided against Terence’s wish, he would get scolded by

Terence and disappoint his mother.

It’s tough being a man nowadays as trouble came twice to a man.

Fortunately, the wedding was about to begin.

Upon noticing Roselynn’s discomfort, Emmanuel rushed upstage.

“What’s wrong? What happened to you, Roselynn?”

no

Emmanuel was a skilled doctor. It took him one look to tell Roselynn was

suffering an internal injury, which explained her emaciated face.

“Oh? Is this-” The smile froze on the host’s face.

He had been a wedding host countless times. He expected unforeseen

circumstances to interrupt the wedding, but never once in his career had he

faced a situation like now.

“Tell me what happened, Roselynn,” Emmanuel urged.

Roselynn didn’t show up as expected and it worried him. However, the

Oatleys asked them to stay in the hall. Therefore, he believed their words and

stayed in his seat.

He realized he had put his trust in the wrong people at the sight of Roselynn.

Roselynn couldn’t bring herself to answer. After all, she would reveal

Mackenzie’s true identity to him if she told him the truth.

But it seems like Mackenzie doesn’t want him to know.

Therefore, Roselynn decided it wasn’t her place to tell him. She didn’t want to

anger Mackenzie, and further drive a wedge between Emmanuel and the

woman.

“Tell me what happened, Jaxton.” Emmanuel could see Roselynn was

refraining from telling him the truth. He thought it was because she was

는

worrying about the Oatleys. However, he would never allow anyone to wrong

his sister.
