Chapter 668
It was the first time Mackenzie saw Emmanuel looking like this, and she found
him adorable. In the past, she didn’t like men of this kind. After all, she was the
one who turned him into such a man by constantly bullying him.
“Alright, let’s do it.” She then picked up the medicine bottle.
Upon hearing that, Emmanuel flushed. He knew that his wife only meant to
put on some medicine for him, but he couldn’t help but think that she wanted
to do the deed with him.
Even though he was a typical insensitive man, he still mistook it. In the past,
he wouldn’t easily associate her words with sex. Perhaps he had developed
some lustful thoughts following several talks with Terence regarding this
matter.
Realizing that something was off, Mackenzie asked curiously, “Why does your
skin feel so hot?”
“N–Nothing.” He stiffly shook his head. First, you took off my bathrobe, and now
you’re so close to me and even flirting with me. How could you even ask why
my skin feels hot? You’re basically arousing me and then denying my needs!
She wasn’t a fool. When she recalled what she had said, she flushed and
landed a slap on the man’s wound. “I’m telling you–don’t even think about
such matters if you still want to live. That’s not what I meant!”
“Ah!” Emmanuel exclaimed and jumped up. “Ms. Quillen, do you want my
wound to heal? Or do you want to kill me?”
You said such suggestive words and accused me of having lustful thoughts.
That’s unreasonable!
Mackenzie snorted and looked away. You had it coming!
Fortunately, Emmanuel’s ringtone interrupted the awkward situation. He
quickly picked up the call to stay away from the icy woman. Otherwise, he
would be killed if the woman kept on slapping him. “Hello, Mom?”
“Why didn’t you come home last night, Manny?” Alessandra asked worriedly
on the other end of the line. After all, her son didn’t inform her that he wasn’t
going home.
“I’m with Mackenzie, Mom.” Emmanuel was still trying to avoid his wife earlier,
but he was going back to her now.
Mackenzie crossed her arms with a smug expression. Her gaze seemed to be
saying, Well, you’ll come back to me no matter what, won’t you?
“I see. It’s fine, then.” Alessandra chuckled. “Please work harder so that I’ll have
a grandchild soon.”
At that, Mackenzie glowered at the man and mouthed her words, ‘If you
to cross the line, I’ll kill you!‘
“There’s no rush, Mom.” Certainly, Emmanuel didn’t want to be tortured
anymore, for the woman’s hand was right above his wound.

“Alright, don’t keep me and Mackenzie’s grandfather waiting. By the way, it’s
Milani’s wedding tomorrow. Are you coming with us?” Alessandra talked
about a different topic.
“I’m not going to attend her wedding. I have to keep Mackenzie company.”
“Alright, then. I’m going to the wedding with Ryder.” When Alessandra finished
speaking, she hung up the call to stop disturbing her son and
daughter–in–law, after which she let out a sigh.
Previously, Emmanuel had told her about Tia’s reaction, so it was apparent
that she wasn’t interested in Ryder.
Alessandra understood that the woman was a single lady, so it was only
natural that she wasn’t fond of a divorced man with a child. After all, no
woman would want to marry a divorcee and raise someone else’s child. As
such, she had to keep looking for a new wife for Ryder.
She learned that Milani’s cousin, Ruby, was also a divorcee. Perhaps the
woman would be willing to marry Ryder. Therefore, Alessandra decided to
attend Milani’s wedding so that she would have a chance to approach Ruby.
On the other hand, Ryder had brought Tommy back to spend the New Year
with Alessandra as per her instructions. He knew that Alessandra had been
exerting herself to look for a new wife for him.
He understood he wasn’t handsome. If not for Tommy, he wouldn’t have gone
on blind dates to save himself the embarrassment. However, since
Alessandra was so fervent, he had no choice but to accept the dates she
had set up for him, just like what Emmanuel did in the past.
