A Whirlwind Marriage with the Beautiful CEO novel Chapter 616

Chapter 616 

“Well, then…” Emmanuel was also reasonable. He sighed and said, “I’m sorry, 

looks like I have to figure something out. I genuinely like you and want to be 

with you. I want us to grow old together and to be buried in the same place.” 

Mackenzie was too stunned to say anything. Who confesses. so out of the 

blue? I’m not ready for this! She blushed slightly, somewhat satisfied with his 

foolish attitude. She did not continue to give him a hard time and quickly 

changed the subject. “Now that my grandfather and I have come to your 

house for the New Year, is there something else we should do next?” 

“Of course there is!” 

“What is it?” she asked. Since she was here, she would fulfill her role as a wife. 

She would not give up halfway like Emmanuel because that was not her 

style! As the female CEO of Terence Group, she valued efficiency and 

reputation in her work. Marriage was no exception. 

Emmanuel looked at the time and smiled. “Perfect timing. I’ll take you to meet 

our old godfather in the village!” 

: 

“Old grandfather?” Mackenzie frowned, wondering why it was so troublesome. 

In the Hero’s Village, the church shouldered a sacred place. A long time ago, 

it used to be a village school but was replaced by public academics as time 

passed and society developed. The old teacher became unemployed and 

the school was converted into a church for worship. 

Respected and revered by everyone in the village, the old teacher had 

students throughout the whole town. As one would say, a teacher resembled 

a father. Since the old teacher never married, his disciples, as a sign of 

respect, had their descendants address him as godfather. 

Emmanuel’s grandfather was also a disciple of the old teacher, so his father 

referred to him as the godfather. In Emmanuel’s generation, they addressed 

him as the old godfather. The situation in other families in the village was 

probably similar to his. So, gradually, the old teacher became the old 

godfather of the entire Hero’s Village. 

On the way to the church, Terence got curious and asked Emmanuel for 

information regarding the old godfather. He was surprised and asked, “Are 

you saying the old godfather of Hero’s Village is over a hundred years old? He 

participated in the war eighty years ago?” 

Emmanuel nodded. “That’s right. Many descendants in Hero’s Village are 

inspired by his patriotic spirit and volunteered to go to the border, sacrificing 

their lives to defend our great country’s land and rivers!” 

He was one of them. So, the old godfather held a high position in his heart. 

“Well, it seems he is truly an admirable old man!” Terence also nodded, eager 

to meet this legendary figure in the Hero’s Village. After all, very few people in 

the world could be considered his peers at his age! 

Alfred walked alongside him without saying a word, but his narrowed eyes 

revealed a hint of curiosity. On the other hand, Mackenzie remained silent 

throughout the journey and quietly walked. 

Along the way, everyone’s eyes were on her, rendering her somewhat 

distracted. Although she had been the center of attention since taking over 

as the CEO of Terence Group, the feeling of being adored today was different 

from before. 

In the past, those who adored her had no connection with her and only 

sought to flatter her for their interests, which she had no interest in and even
