Chapter 157
Mackenzie’s gaze visibly chilled at the sight of Claudette approaching her
husband.
Even Frederick sensed the antagonism rolling off Mackenzie. I can’t help you
with this, man!
He shrugged and turned back toward the clinics.
“Well, are you done with your consultation?” asked Mackenzie frostily.
“Yes, I’m done.”
Claudette was no fool. She could already guess the nature of Emmanuel and
Mackenzie’s relationship based on the latter’s behavior, though she could
hardly believe it herself.
She had once asked Emmanuel if he had a girlfriend, and he had somewhat
implied that he was attached. Is his girlfriend the heiress of the Quillen
family? Is he such an excellent catch? But I thought Mackenzie suffered from
misandry!
Mackenzie’s words cut through Claudette’s thoughts. “Good. Then I’m taking
Emmanuel with me!”
She would have dragged Emmanuel away a lot sooner had she not been
generous enough to spare Claudette’s pride.
“Hey, Ms. Quillen! Don’t pull so hard!” Emmanuel hissed, perplexed by his
wife’s behavior.
This is a hospital, for goodness sake. I was just checking a female patient.
Why does she make it seem as if she caught me cheating?
After their departure, Claudette remained stunned in utter disbelief.
Even Mackenzie was starting to question if she had been too agitated. What if
he mistakes my response for jealousy? No! I’m definitely not jealous! I just
want to solve his troubles ASAP.
She dragged him by his shirt and only released her grip once they were in
the parking lot.
Emmanuel hurriedly reversed his Maserati out of the lot and even alighted
from the car to open the passenger seat door for his wife. Only then did he
venture to ask, “Why did you suddenly come to visit me, Ms. Quillen?”
“I saw the trending headlines, so I thought I’d check on you.” Mackenzie put on
an air of indifference as she added, “I suppose my worries were unfounded,
seeing as you still had the bandwidth to hit on some random hottie.”
“Huh?” Emmanuel’s befuddlement was short–lived. He soon smiled and
she’s only my patient. Are you actually jealous, Ms. Quillen?”
basic rights as a wife! How can I not be jealous when my husband is with
another woman? What kind of twisted logic is that?
Emmanuel had boarded the car by then and asked, “Shall we head home,
Ms. Quillen?”
Waving her hand dismissively, she replied, “Yes. You’re famous in Yeringham
reputation too.”
take the day off just to look for me? Will it affect your pay or your boss‘
