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 family, she 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.
Recently, she 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
