Chapter 621
“Impudent!”
Unable to contain himself, Yosef pointed at Mackenzie and scolded, “As the
saying goes, a teacher for a day is a father for a lifetime. The old godfather is
not only the teacher of Emmanuel’s grandfather but also his mentor. He’s like
a father to the Lowe family. Since you acknowledge being Emmanuel’s wife,
the old godfather is your godfather too! You refuse to kneel and worship,
which is an act of filial impiety! In Hero’s Village, we have rules. If you don’t
gain the recognition of the old godfather, you are unworthy of entering Hero’s
Village, let alone becoming the daughter–in–law of the Lowe family!”
He was a recognized talented individual in Hero’s Village, and his words.
always convinced everyone. After hearing his words, the crowd exploded with
astonishment, feeling that Mackenzie lacked manners and was unworthy of
joining Hero’s Village.
A sly smile curved on Queenie’s lips, but she quickly restrained herself.
Meanwhile, Frederick worried immensely for his best friend. After finally
marrying his wife and achieving a happy union, he hoped that opposition
from the villagers would not ruin their happiness.
Emmanuel also felt worried because he knew his wife’s personality well. Who
dares to speak to her in such a manner aside from Terence?
Sure enough, Mackenzie’s gaze gradually turned angry, and she coldly
responded to Yosef, “Regardless of customs and etiquette, they should
evolve with the times. Taking ancient customs from hundreds of years ago to
dictate the actions of modern young people, isn’t that the same as using the
sword of the previous dynasty to execute officials of the current one? Even
the monarchy has been abolished in modern times, let alone the rules of
your village!” Her words were well–reasoned and supported by evidence.
Most importantly, she exuded a powerful and icy aura, causing many in the
crowd to involuntarily shudder.
Emmanuel’s wife was not only proud but also sharp–tongued. How daring of
her to argue against Yosef with such confidence!
“Ah, Miss, what you said makes sense. However, this is still Hero’s Village after
all!” sighed Alfred.
Terence also let out a long sigh. The Quillen family did not accept Emmanuel,
and the villagers were also unwilling to accept Mackenzie’s words. This young
couple had a long and arduous road ahead if they wanted to achieve a
successful union.
“Farewell!” Indeed, after confronting Yosef, she immediately bade her
farewell. She had no intention of staying to see anyone’s reaction..
“Mackenzie!”
Caught in a dilemma, Emmanuel bowed three times to the old godfather
before disregarding everything and chasing after his wife, leaving the scene
behind.
“How can this happen?”
“Yes, the Lowe family’s wedding was a joyous occasion. Why does it have to
turn out like this?”
“What’s wrong with worshiping the old godfather? This woman is so arrogant.
and lacks manners. She’ll bring misfortune to her husband!”
“This is unacceptable, completely unacceptable… They should just break up
and find someone else!”
The villagers whispered and discussed in Alessandra’s ears, causing her
great distress.
“Mom, don’t listen to them. Let’s go home!” Luckily, Roselynn was by her side,
forcefully pulling her mother away. Regardless of whether these people were
envious, jealous, or offering kind advice, she was not their daughter–in–law.
Hence, they could speak without consequences. Thinking they can make
Manny and Mackenzie break up? Hmph, they don’t even have a say, let alone
the right to interfere!
“Mackenzie!” Emmanuel chased after her and arrived at the small hill where
the two had just been talking, finally catching up to her.
She shook off his hand and continued walking forward. Once again, the man
grabbed her dainty hand.
“What are you trying to do?” She was angry. “Are you trying to pull me back to
worshiping your old godfather? I’ve already said I won’t accept this! If you
think I’m being unreasonable, then-”
Before she could finish her sentence, her beautiful eyes suddenly trembled.
The foolish Emmanuel had directly and forcefully embraced her. Audacious!
Her crimson lips pressed against his chest, and for a moment, her heart felt
like it was leaping.
“Mackenzie, don’t be mad!”
Chapter 622
Emmanuel had no intention of pulling her back to worship; on the contrary,
he was trying to soothe her emotions. “This is where I grew up, and some of
the customs here indeed don’t align with your world. If you don’t like them,
you don’t have to follow them. I know you mean no harm, and that’s what
matters!”
An inexplicable warmth flowed into Mackenzie’s heart. She had
underestimated this fool, but when it came to sweet words, he had a whole
arsenal of them. Unfortunately, she fell for it. Damn it!
In the end, she still managed to extricate herself from his embrace. It would
be embarrassing to engage in such intimate behavior in this place in case
someone happened to pass by. After all, she was the icy goddess.
Sure enough, a call came from behind them. “Manny, Mackenzie!”
“Manny! Mackenzie!”
Both of them turned in the direction of the voices and saw that it was
Roselynn running alongside Alessandra, catching up to them. The latter had
longed for this moment, finally letting her son marry a daughter–in–law. She
could not let her run away over such a small matter, could she?
Seeing the two of them standing so close, facing each other, she was
momentarily stunned. What are my son and daughter–in–law doing just
now?
“Mom, Roselynn!” Emmanuel called out.
Yet, the two ignored him and hurriedly came in front of Mackenzie.
“Mackenzie, don’t listen to what the villagers are saying. We don’t have such
rules in Hero’s Village. As long as you and Manny get along, that’s all that
matters! No one can drive you away!” Alessandra tightly held Mackenzie’s
hand, fearing that she might run away.
Mackenzie could feel the lady trembling, knowing how much she cared about
her, so she nodded in response.
“Hehe, what were you two doing just now? Mackenzie, why is your face so
red?” Roselynn noticed the details and teased them intentionally.
“N–Nothing!” Emmanuel and Mackenzie almost simultaneously shook their
heads.
Roselynn, however, did not let them off the hook. She raised her eyebrows
and pointed at the lipstick stain on her brother’s neck. “Nothing? Then, how
come this fool has a lipstick mark on his neck? Which woman did that? Come
clean!”
Uh–oh!
His face immediately turned red. Mackenzie clenched her fist, wishing she
could punch this fool to the ground. Look at what he’s done, forcefully
embracing me for no reason!
Alessandra, on the other hand, misunderstood the situation and burst into
laughter. It seemed that her foolish son was not so foolish after all. The hope
of having grandchildren and the prospect of the Lowe family flourishing had
emerged!
In the next moment, she gripped Mackenzie’s hand and said, “Mackenzie, let’s
go! I’ll take you to burn incense for the ancestors of the Lowe family. You don’t
need to follow any formalities. Just offer incense at the ancestral tablet, and
I’ll say a few words to Manny’s father, telling him that his daughter–in–law has
returned!”
“Well…” Mackenzie hesitated but could not resist Alessandra’s enthusiasm, so
she nodded in agreement.
While they left, Roselynn tiptoed and hooked her arm around Emmanuel’s
shoulder, mischievously asking, “Oh, brother, how far have you and
Mackenzie progressed? Mom is waiting to hold her grandchildren. When will
you fulfill her greatest wish?”
He forced a bitter smile.
His mother’s greatest wish used to be for him to marry, but now, it had
advanced to having grandchildren. How did it turn into that? Each one of her
wishes is so difficult to fulfill. No matter how much Roselynn asked, he evaded
thè question.
First of all, he was a complete beginner when it came to relationships.
Secondly, he had not performed formal rituals with Mackenzie, so what could
he say? They could only take things step by step.
He always believed that when the time was right, everything would naturally
fall into place. If the time had not come, forcing it would lead to nothing!
Chapter 623
The two siblings continued their private conversation as they walked back
home. When they arrived at the doorstep, they heard a gentle and obedient
voice. “Look! It’s my brother–in–law!”
Emmanuel immediately looked up and was stunned.
It was Sarah who had arrived. She wore a beautiful smile and asked, “Hey,
Emmanuel! Is this Roselynn? She’s such a tall and beautiful lady!”
Roselynn was taken aback. She was unaware of the complicated
relationships within the Quillen family, but upon hearing Sarah greeting
Emmanuel, she quickly walked over and warmly shook her hand. “Oh, not at
all. Your legs are no shorter than mine!” After saying that, she even went as
far as to measure their legs.
It was a way to build rapport.
Of course, she genuinely wanted to compare her legs with Sarah’s and see
who had longer legs. She even had the thought of lifting the other person’s
clothes to see where their waistline started.
Emmanuel felt rather awkward because his sister did not have a sense of
boundaries. He quickly interrupted, “Sarah, how did you find us here?”
She smiled and replied, “Don’t you remember? When we returned from North
Star Village, you asked me to help take care of the Hedge family. Amy
wanted to come out and see, so I brought her along to wish you à Happy
New Year!”
He patted his forehead, remembering that he indeed asked for her help, but
he still inquired, “How did you know I came back to the village for the New
Year? And where is Amy?”
“I heard that Grandpa and Mackenzie were here to celebrate the New Year,
so I inquired and found out,” Sarah answered and pointed in another
direction, where Amy was squatting by a nearby pond, curiously observing a
hibernating turtle inside.
“Amy, Manuel is back!” Sarah hurried over to call Amy.
“And who is that?” Roselynn curiously asked. She did not expect their New
Year celebration in the countryside to be so lively.
“She used to be the sister of a blood brother who risked his life for us. She
suffered a setback and had some mental issues…” Emmanuel briefly
explained Amy’s story to his sister.
Roselynn sympathized with the Hedge family’s experience and was about to
go over and greet Amy when an unexpected scene unfolded.
Sarah approached Amy and saw her staring at a big turtle submerged in the
water. With a smile, she asked, “Amy, do you like that turtle? I’ll catch it for
you!”
“Really? Awesome!” Amy became excited but then hesitated and bit her
finger. “But it’s swimming so far. Can you catch it?”
“Let’s give it a try. Hold my hand!” Sarah was determined to catch the turtle.
Amy gladly held her hand, and together, they reached their palms into the
pond.
Thump! Thump! Just like that, both of them fell into the water.
“Ah!”
“Help!” They both called for help, splashing around in the water, clearly unable
to swim.
Roselynn was shocked. Fortunately, Emmanuel rushed over from her side,
and with a thump, he jumped into the pond, rescuing both women
simultaneously.
“What happened? What’s going on?” At that moment, Shane appeared out of
nowhere in a hurry. He was sent by their master to find Emmanuel because
their master wanted to see him. Who would have expected that upon arriving
near Emmanuel’s house, he would hear the cries for help from the girls?
During his dreams, he often dreamed of being a hero, saving a damsel in
distress. Could his dream come true today? However… When he arrived at
the pond, he saw that Emmanuel had already rescued both girls and was
instantly stunned.
Roselynn helped at the pond’s edge while Emmanuel lifted both women out
of the water. Seeing Sarah sitting on Emmanuel’s shoulders with her round
buttocks left Shane completely dumbfounded.
Oh, how he envied them!
Chapter 624
Shane could not tear his eyes away from her the moment she reached the
edge of the pond. At that moment, the sight of Sarah’s figure alone was
enough to make him bleed from the nose. She had an exquisite figure
indeed. Her wet clothes clung close to her body, outlining her figure vividly in
all its glory. How could any normal man withstand that? In fact, upon closer
inspection, her facial features were mesmerizing as well.
He sighed internally and thought, My gosh! What day is today? How could so
many angels have descended upon the village?
“Thank you, Manuel! Cough-” While wringing her clothes dry, she thanked
him. However, she continued to cough and sputter in between. After all, she
did choke on some water earlier.
“It’s fine. You should be careful when taking care of Amy. After all, she isn’t in
the right state of mind. Her movement and actions are different from others.”
Although he did not witness the incident that happened, subconsciously, he
knew Amy was the one who dragged her into the waters. Otherwise, both of
them would not have slipped and fallen.
“Alright, noted… A–Achoo!” While speaking, she suddenly sneezed, splattering
his face with saliva and snot. “Oh no! I’m sorry!”
“It’s fine. Both you and Amy should get a change of clothes. Otherwise, it’s
easy to catch a cold on such a cold day,” said Emmanuel while wiping the
saliva and snot from his body.
“Alright. Do you have any suitable clothes at home?”
He was stumped by her question. It had been long since they returned home
for the festive season. So, how could there be clean clothes at home, let
alone finding one suitable for Sarah?
Roselynn glanced around subconsciously. Coincidentally, her gaze landed on
Shane. A–ha!
“Shane, come over here. Would you be so kind as to get two suitable–sized
clothes for these two ladies?”
Shane pointed at himself and said unwillingly, I didn’t push them. Plus, I don’t
have any women at home. Why should I be the one to run this errand? Where
on earth will I find one anyway?”
She did not let his words get to her. On the other hand, she strode toward him
and whispered in his ear, “They’re both single. Don’t you want to show them
your capabilities? It’s your time to shine!”
To her delight, her plan turned out to be a success!
Initially, she thought Amy was not so bad looking. In addition to that, she was
about the same age as him. The only thing was her mental state at the
moment, but she seemed suitable for him. However, Roselynn was still naive
in the ways of men because Shane did not spare Amy a single glance;
instead, he was drooling over Sarah!
The moment he heard that, he immediately looked more alive as he ran
back, yelling, “Please wait a moment, ladies. I will find you some dry clothes to
wear immediately!”
Seeing the stark contrast in his attitude, Emmanuel was stunned as he gave
her the thumbs up. “You truly are something.”
She raised her head with pride. However, she reminded them, “All three of you
are soaked. You guys should head inside and dry yourselves by the fire.
Otherwise, you will catch a cold.”
Hence, they entered the Lowe residence. At that moment, the Lowe family
was still at the temple. As such, nobody would come by the house at all.
“Achoo-” While drying themselves by the fire, Sarah offered her place to
Amy. However, she continued to sneeze as her snot dripped out her nose.
“This cannot go on!” Roselynn felt the situation was dire. As such, she quickly
advised Sarah, “Sarah, you should at least take off your shirt. If not, you will
catch a cold later.”
“But…” Sarah looked troubled. It would be fine if there were only three women
here. However, Emmanuel was a man, so how could she remove her clothes
before him?
“I’ll head outside. You guys should lock the door and dry yourselves by the fire.
In a moment, I’ll ask Roselynn to bring the clothes here,” said Emmanuel as he
stood up immediately.
“But you will catch a cold if you do that, Manuel.” Sarah was worried about
him.
“Don’t worry. I have a strong body. I should be able to hold it out.” With that, he
left the house without a second glance.
On the other hand, Sarah continued to stare at his tall retreating figure with a
glint in her eyes. Only she knew what was flashing past her mind at that
moment.
Chapter 625
“Wow! Sarah! What did you eat to make your breasts look that great?” After
Sarah removed her wet clothes, Roselynn was beside herself with envy.
Perhaps her legs were slightly longer compared to Sarah’s. However, she
could not hold a candle to Sarah’s chest. Visually, hers was two cups smaller
compared to Sarah’s. In the beginning, she thought Sarah had spent some
money on fake implants. However, after touching it with her hands, she
realized it was the real deal.
“Mmm-” Sarah’s breasts were slightly sensitive. Subconsciously, she covered
her chest with both arms and said shyly, “I didn’t have any particular diet or
anything. Occasionally, I’d drink some papaya milk. Its effects are not too
bad…”
Hearing that, Roselynn quickly noted it down in secret. She wished hers would
grow larger as well!
“It’s here! The clothes are here!” Soon, Shane’s voice rang from the outside.
The moment he noticed Emmanuel standing guard outside the door, he was
dumbfounded. “Manny? What on earth are you doing? Are you the Guardian
of the Door or something?”
Emmanuel did not have any other impure thoughts at that moment. Hence,
he informed him. “Sarah’s clothes are wet, and she doesn’t have any dry
clothes to change into at the moment. So, she removed her clothes to dry
them. Naturally, I have to give them some privacy.”
“What? She’s totally naked?” Shane was overcome with excitement all of a
sudden. The second he thought about her naked body, the nosebleed he had
tried so hard to stop recurred again. What kind of sight will that be? Will it be
a perfectly sculpted body? Or will it be one with flawless, fair skin?
“What are you pondering about?! Bring the clothes here quickly!” Emmanuel
was about to take the clothes from Shane but was stopped by him instead.
Bullsh*t! Of course, he was here to please his goddess. If he were to give it to
Emmanuel, then his efforts would have all been in vain!
“Well, what are you waiting for? Bring it here at once. Sarah is still undressed.”
Emmanuel was getting impatient. She would indeed catch a cold soon if she
did not have any clothes to wear.
Shane knew he would lose in a fight with Emmanuel. As such, he smiled and
said coyly, “My dear brother–in–law, you’re married already, so even the best
resource won’t bring you any benefit. Why don’t you leave this for a single
person like me?”
The f*ck? Brother–in–law? Emmanuel was stunned for a moment before he
yanked Shane’s ears. “What did you call me? Who’s your brother–in–law? Are
you thinking of courting Sarah?”
“Ouch! That hurts! Please have mercy!”
While struggling, Shane cried out, “It’s enough that you’ve married her sister.
You should allow me to become your brother–in–law! If I’m successful in this
courtship, I will always remember your kindness. I’ll even treat you like a deity
in the future and bring you offerings.”
“Gosh! You’re such a shameless b*stard!” Emmanuel released his ear and
stated solemnly, “I can’t control your thoughts, but you can forget about
sending the clothes in yourself. I will ask Roselynn to come and take it.”
At that, Shane looked disappointed. By doing so, he would not be able to
present his goddess with the clothes and interact with her. Furthermore, he
was itching to get inside when he knew there was a beautiful, gorgeous lady
waiting.
There was no way for him not to have any lewd thoughts. He wanted so
badly to ‘accidentally‘ sneak a peek at her. No way! He had to think of
something!
“Roselynn, the clothes are here. Come out and get it.” Emmanuel had already
called out to his sister.
Shane started to panic. After pondering about it, a glint flashed across his
eyes. A–ha!
