Chapter 356
On the other hand, Mackenzie did not introduce Emmanuel to everyone in her
family because she did not intend for their marriage to last.
In the meantime, he had hopped in Claudette’s Rolls–Royce and was en
route to Serenity Resort. I can meet up with Mackenzie first and ask her to join
me in celebrating Claudette’s birthday. If she declines to join… In that case, it
will not be too late to decide.
Thirty minutes later, at Serenity Resort.
”
Mackenzie had no idea why she had arrived at the restaurant on time. Is it
because of Grandpa’s wishes or my own? Then, she sat in the room, waiting
for Emmanuel to apologize. This is his last chance! If he still does not know it is
time to appease me, he does not deserve to be a husband!
“Miss, would you like to order anything?” Not long after she sat down, a
waitress walked in to check in on her.
“Not for now,” Mackenzie replied.
“Very well. Please enjoy the view tonight. I hear there will be a meteor
shower!”
The reminder prompted Mackenzie to look around the room. It is certainly
quite a beautiful place. Be it in architecture or the view outside, it is
breathtaking. While admiring the scenery, she froze when she noticed
Emmanuel stepping out of a Rolls–Royce that had stopped outside the
restaurant entrance, and as she had feared, Claudette followed him out of
the car. At this instant, seeing the two walking side by side, she felt like a
dagger thrust into her heart. Even though this is his last chance, he is
determined to prove that he loves Claudette more than me? At this thought,
her hand trembled as she grasped the glass of water, and her entire body
soon followed suit out of sheer anger. She eventually reached her breaking
point, and in her rage, she shattered the glass and stormed out of the room.
“Where are you going, Emmanuel? The room I booked is over there!”
Claudette was perplexed by his behavior when he entered the restaurant
and looked around before walking in the opposite direction of where she was
heading.
“You should head to your table first, Ms. Lenoir. I’ll meet you later.” Emmanuel
didn’t have time to explain, and when he glanced at his watch, it was 6.01PM.
Mackenzie dislikes tardiness, even if it’s only a minute late. I could have
arrived earlier if it weren’t for the terrible traffic. Surely, she would have the
decency to wait even a minute for me.
Unbeknownst to him, Room 1314 had a view of the outside of the hotel, which
included the entrances to the restaurant. When he entered the room, he
found it deserted except for shattered glass on the floor.
“What’s going on? Is this a prank?” Emmanuel grumbled. Is somebody playing
a trick on me, or has Mackenzie left?
What are you doing, Emmanuel?” Claudette had followed him to Room 1314.
Why is he heading into that room?
N–Nothing,” he stammered and smiled nonchalantly.
Oh, I see now. The view from this room is much nicer. You booked the room
for me?” She found the room rather unique since one of the walls was entirely
made of windows, allowing them to see the scenery outside the restaurant.
As the Serenity Resort was built on the slope of the mountain, the windows
provided a view of the lake at the foot of the mountain that reflected the
stars; creating a very romantic scene.
“I-“Emmanuel had intended to explain, but then he saw the awed expression
in Claudette’s beautiful eyes.
“Thank you so much, Emmanuel!”
“This—” Again, he gave in to his habit of being oblivious and insensitive, but
this time it was because he didn’t want to ruin her birthday by being a
letdown. Hence, he smiled and said, “As long as you like it.” Mackenzie
couldn’t possibly be here, right? I should definitely stop fantasizing. His heart
sank as he continued to convince himself.
