Love at the Wrong Table (Emmanuel Lowe and Mackenzie) novel Chapter 1247

Chapter 1247 Invitation 

“Haha!” Beatrix chuckled coldly before retorting, “Am I the one interfering with the matchmaking? Mackenzie is happily married to Emmanuel, whom she loves. Yet, you still insist on trying to pair her with Gautier. Isn’t that interfering with the matchmaking? You’re such a hypocrite! Did you learn Westeria’s traditions while studying abroad in Westeria?” 

“You… You!” Lara wanted to argue with Beatrix again. 

However, with Terence and Mackenzie present, she didn’t dare to do so. She could only hold back, her face turning 

red. 

“Mackenzie, think about it. Otherwise, wait for Emmanuel to come back and discuss it with him.” 

Terence’s attitude had completely changed. He didn’t participate in the argument between his two granddaughters as he stood up and stretched. 

Marilyn quickly came over to help him back to his room to rest, showing great care. 

Mackenzie also returned to her room, feeling a bit gloomy. She really didn’t know where Emmanuel had gone these past two days. He still hadn’t come back. 

Just as she was thinking this, someone knocked on the door before walking in. 

It was Emmanuel. “Mackenzie, I’m back.” 

Just as Mackenzie was contemplating how to respond to her husband, who hadn’t been home for two days, her 

phone rang. 

Emmanuel glanced at it. The caller ID showed it was Gautier. 

“Why is this man calling in the middle of the night?” 

He felt a pang of jealousy. After being intimate with Mackenzie, his mindset had subtly changed. 

He wasn’t as indifferent towards Mackenzie before. 

There was a hint of smugness in Mackenzie’s smile as she said, “Are you jealous? You haven’t been home for two days. What if I’m stolen by someone else?” 

Emmanuel was speechless. If she could be easily stolen, he wouldn’t have been able to marry her. 

Nevertheless, while he knew this, he still felt a twinge of jealousy. 

If Emmanuel hadn’t come in just then, Mackenzie wouldn’t have really wanted to answer Gautier’s call. Now, even if she wanted to make him jealous, she had to answer. 

“Hello, Mackenzie.” Gautier was also a bit surprised that the call was answered. 

08:47 Mon, Feb 5 

“Mr. Verkade, what’s up?” 

Even though Mackenzie answered the call, her attitude toward Gautier was still very cold. 

“I heard that the Quillen family wants to apply to join the Nuthana Chamber of Commerce. I want to discuss something with you.” 

Mackenzie was taken aback. She then asked knowingly, “Who told you?” 

“Lara did.” 

Gautier’s answer made Mackenzie a bit angry. 

The fact that the Quillen family had just discussed tonight had reached Gautier in less than half an hour. It was clear that the Quillen family’s secrets couldn’t be known to Lara. Otherwise, the Quillen family would have no 

secrets from the Verkade family. 

“Why don’t we, the Quillen and Verkade families, join forces and apply as one team? This way, the chances of success will greatly increase. There’s also a chance to become one of the 20 official members,” Gautier continued. 

He was afraid that Mackenzie would suddenly hang up the phone before he could even state his purpose. 

He wouldn’t have been so humble when talking to Mackenzie before he confessed his feelings.
