Chapter 496
“Sarah? What brings you here?” replied Emmanuel with a smile out of
courtesy. Of course, he wouldn’t speculate about what the security guard
was thinking.
Sarah explained with a wink, “Manuel, didn’t you want to make a fountain on
the balcony at home to give Mackenzie a surprise? I haven’t heard any
updates from you since then, and I wondered if you’re too busy to make it.
That’s why I brought an expert here to help you with it. Unfortunately, both
you and Mackenzie aren’t home, so we’ve got no choice but to wait here!”
Emmanuel replied, “I see. Let me take you two upstairs, then!” He could hardly
reject this sister–in–law’s well–meaning intentions. Both Mackenzie and
Beatrix had warned that Sarah wasn’t a kind person, but he hadn’t found
anything wrong with her so far. He thought she was quite nice and thus saw
no reason to keep her at arm’s length.
Soon after that, the three of them arrived upstairs, and the expert started to
help with the fountain.
Emmanuel was discussing the construction plan with the expert when Sarah
suddenly came to his side. She asked in surprise, “Manuel, what’s wrong with
your face? It seems somewhat swollen.” She gently pressed the lower side of
his chin.
Emmanuel quickly stepped back in pain. These were the injuries he had
suffered while getting into a fight in the Lenoir residence today, but he didn’t
tell Sarah about it.
Sarah was smarter than he imagined, though. Noticing the dirt on his shirt,
she anxiously asked, “Manuel, don’t tell me you got into a fight with
somebody today? Mackenzie will get worried if she comes back and sees
you like this!”
Her words reminded Emmanuel. Even though these minor injuries were
nothing to him, he did fear that his wife would get worried. Mackenzie had
previously criticized him for getting into fights several times in a month. If she
catches me fighting again, she’ll certainly give me another talking–to!
Just then, Sarah suggested, “Manuel, do you have a first aid kit at home? Let
me help put medicine on you. Mackenzie probably has a meeting, so she
won’t be back early this evening, right?”
