Chapter 126
Emmanuel didn’t know how many hobbies Mackenzie had. However, on
the rare occasion when she was free, she would engage in idyllic
activities, such as tending to potted plants or drawing.
At that moment, she seemed tranquil and divine, much like the first time
Emmanuel met her.
It’s truly a blessing that I can return to a wife like her at home. In an instant,
he felt his weariness had vanished.
“You’re back?” asked Mackenzie without turning her head.
“Yeah. Have you eaten yet, Ms. Quillen?”

“What?” Emmanuel was taken aback before rage colored his
countenance.
“Are you doubting me? Do you not believe your granddad is lying to you?”
observing his expression. “Naturally. I don’t like lying, after all.”
Upon ending her sentence, she felt guilty. Despite what I said, I still haven’t
Emmanuel didn’t notice her micro–expressions and tightened his fists. This
man, he wouldn’t have raised my uncle to be equally horrendous, too.
“There’s one more thing. My friend working at a private university in
