Love at the Wrong Table (Emmanuel Lowe and Mackenzie) novel Chapter 1086

Chapter 1086 Something Was Amiss

As people grow older, they often experience feelings of loneliness. And when they feel lonely, the longing they experience becomes even more intense.

Terence felt an overwhelming longing for his late wife when he saw Marilyn.

“Dear Old Mr. Quillen, may I assist you with your bath and then provide you with a relaxing massage in the bathtub, alright?”

Marilyn suddenly knelt and offered her services to Terence.

Terence nodded and allowed the maid to take care of him.

Although Alfred was a skilled fighter and had a healthier body than Terence, he was still an elderly man. Having a young girl under the age of nineteen attending to him was an entirely different experience.

Outside the hall, the Quillen women had been waiting for Terence for an entire hour, and their anxiety was growing!

“What is Dad doing? I’ll go check!” Samantha couldn’t sit still and went straight to Terence’s suite.

Alfred didn’t stop her, and the other women followed suit.

Finally, even Mackenzie and Emmanuel joined them. Mackenzie’s unease grew stronger, and those irrational thoughts resurfaced!

“No! Grandfather is a wise man; he wouldn’t make such a mistake!”

Mackenzie silently prayed and shook her head.

In the next moment, Emmanuel gently held her hand and seemed to understand what she was thinking. He shook his head, indicating that she shouldn’t overthink it.

A slight smile appeared on Mackenzie’s lips. She realized that having a man by her side wasn’t such a bad thing.

Little did she know that Beatrix, who was behind her, felt like she was being tortured. It was time for her to get a boyfriend too!

“Dad!”

“Grandfather!”

The group of people arrived outside Terence’s room and began calling out.

After waiting for a long time, the door was finally opened.

“What’s the matter? Why are you all looking for me here?”

Terence asked sternly.

He was wearing a bathrobe and opened the door himself.

Behind him, Marilyn moved slowly due to discomfort in her leg. Her hair was wet, and steam from the hot water still clung to her body.
