Love at the Wrong Table (Emmanuel Lowe and Mackenzie) novel Chapter 23

Chapter 23

He was aware that his aunt and his cousin’s wife had a

tendency to clash with one another. It seemed that

every time they encountered one another, a heated

argument would ensue, and on rare occasions, it

would escalate to a physical altercation, leaving his

poor cousin trapped in the middle of it all.

His cousin could still side with his mother and would

sometimes reprimand his wife, but Emmanuel knew

that he would meet his doom tomorrow if he had the

guts to yell at Mackenzie.

If she goes too far or speaks to Mom disrespectfully, I

may be forced to confront her. If this leads to a

disagreement, Mom may find out about our

arrangement and be distressed by it.

Even though Mackenzie had agreed to come home

with him, Emmanuel was still frustrated and anxious. It

felt like bringing a bomb that might explode anytime

home.

“Manny, what’s wrong? Did she refuse to visit us?”

Roselynn snapped.

I don’t care how capable his wife is. Now that she has

become a part of the Lowe familyshe must conform

to the expectations laid out for her and cannot act

however she pleases. If she’s already acting up when

we expect her to visit, how will Manny and Mom endure

her antics in the days ahead?

“Of course not, Roselynn. Don’t get it wrong. She’s just

too busy,” Emmanuel quickly explained.

No matter how furious he was, Mackenzie was still his

wife

“Good, then.”

Roselynn was in a great mood having confirmed their

visit. She couldn’t help but switch the conversation to

something else that was on her mind. “Manny, I

received an invitation to attend a high–society party in

Yeringham. I heard that many rich scions will be there!”

“Oh, I see. You want to see handsome guys there,

huh?” 

Emmanuel knew Roselynn well. It could be said with

confidence that he was the person who knew her best.

Roselynn was a person who was driven to always strive

for perfection. She was quite the romantic, having

been entranced by the world of romantic dramas and

films since she was a teenager in high school.

In the beginning, she fell for Nick Jonas from The Jonas

Brothers. Later, she took an interest in Jamie Dornan,

famous for his role as Christian Grey.

Recentlyshe was infatuated with Alex Pettyfer.

Anyway, the men she loved were tall, rich, and

handsome. They must be nothing short of perfect.

However, perfect men didn’t exist in the world.

Thus, she was still single in her thirties. It wasn’t because she was anything less than appealing or desirable; it was because her ideal partner seemed

too perfect to exist in the real world.

Alessandra and Emmanuel both cautioned Roselynn

that the male characters she adored in television

shows weren’t actually real, and urged her to adjust

her expectations accordingly. Nonetheless, Roselynn

still enjoyed the opportunity to lay her eyes upon

I’ll try my best. If Roselynn still remains single, it isn’t my
