A Whirlwind Marriage with the Beautiful CEO novel Chapter 24

Chapter 24 

“Roselynn, what are you doing? It hurts!” 

When Roselynn stepped out after changing, she was 

shocked to discover that her brother had a band–aid 

on his body and a bandage on his back. She couldn’t 

help but impulsively reach out and give him a slap on 

the shoulder. 

Emmanuel was a living, breathing human being, and it 

was only natural for him to cry out in anguish when he 

was unexpectedly struck by sudden pain. 

Alessandra had been engrossed in matters regarding 

her daughter–in–law and paid no attention to her son. 

Belatedly realizing he had been concealing his injuries, 

she asked anxiously, “Manny, how did you get hurt?” 

Not wanting his family to worry, Emmanuel lied, “Don’t 

worry, Mom. I accidentally fell down, that’s all.” 

“Fell down? This is a lie. You obviously got hurt. Did 

someone hit you or throw something at you?” 

Roselynn snapped. Her voice grew increasingly 

agitated as she demanded, “Manny, be honest with 

1. me. Did your wife beat you? Is this domestic violence?” 

Emmanuel nearly coughed out blood in exasperation. 

He quickly replied, “Roselynn, how could you think that 

way about my wife? This has nothing to do with her!” 

He couldn’t bring himself to say that Mackenzie hadn’t 

hit him, since she had quite obviously kicked him twice. 

His waist was still aching as a result. 

“Manny, be honest with me. How did you get hurt?” 

Emmanuel was Alessandra’s only son, so she was 

determined to get to the bottom of things. She was 

afraid that her son’s stubborn pride would prevent him. 

from confiding in her. 

“Some scoundrels tried to take advantage of 

Mackenzie, so I fought with them and ended up getting 

hurt,” Emmanuel explained. 

He wasn’t entirely fabricating the story as the ruffians 

were indeed stirring up trouble on Mackenzie’s project. 

She was the reason he had to fight them. 

“Oh, I see. Good job, Manny! I love that you’re so 

protective of your wife!” Roselynn relaxed and gave 

him the thumbs–up. 

After all, the male leads in TV dramas were all manly. 

“It’s almost time, Roselynn. Let’s go!” 

Emmanuel didn’t want to hear his mother’s nagging 

and instantly changed the topic by urging Roselynn to 

leave. 

Alessandra grabbed his arm and said, “Manny, 

remember to find Roselynn a good man at the party. 

He doesn’t have to be rich as long as he’s a person of 

integrity!” 

A mother knew her daughter best. Naturally, 

Alessandra knew why Roselynn was still single and 

unmarried despite being in her thirties. 

Before arranging blind dates for Emmanuel, she had 

already introduced a lot of men to Roselynn. 

Alas, Roselynn was harsh in her criticism of all those 

4/6 

men, declaring that none of them measured up to the 

male leads of her favorite television shows. She said 

they were either too short, too ugly, or too meek. 

Naturally, all those men were scared out of their wits 

and quickly made their escape.
