Love at the Wrong Table (Emmanuel Lowe and Mackenzie) novel Chapter 604

Chapter 604

“We’re returning to the village?” Emmanuel was dumbstruck because they

had never discussed this.

“I almost forgot about it. Remember the ancient rule back in our family’s

hometown? Once a man in the family marries someone, he must bring his

wife home for the first New Year after marriage and pay respects to our

ancestors! If your Uncle Benny hadn’t reminded me, I would’ve forgotten all

about it!”

Once Alessandra mentioned it, Emmanuel recalled it as well. We do have

such an ancient rule! However, their family had moved to Yeringham’s city

center over ten years, and he even thought he would never find a wife.

Therefore, he did not care about that ancient rule.

“Mom, do we have to go back?” Roselynn came out in her pajamas and

messy hair.

“Of course. You have to return and pay respects to the ancestors. After all,

you’re married too!” Alessandra requested.

“Mom, I agree to pay respects to the ancestors, but there’s no need to

announce my marriage to everyone in the village, right?” Once Roselynn said

that, she muttered, “I’m going to get divorced anyway…”

“What are you saying? If you dare get a divorce, I’ll skin you alive!” It was rare

for Alessandra to get angry, but when Roselynn mentioned getting a divorce,

Alessandra instantly turned solemn. As parents, who would not want to see

their children have a happy family?

Roselynn did not understand her mother’s feelings and even argued, “Mom,

Jaxton and I are over! I’ve seen through that man, so what’s the use of forcing

me to be with him? Our relationship has ended. Do you understand?”

Alessandra anxiously retorted, “Oh, Roselynn! You’re over thirty and finally

married someone, yet you want to get divorced? That would only make it

harder for you to marry someone else. You won’t be able to find anyone

better than Jaxton, and you’ll regret your decision!”

The mother and daughter pair had different values. The young daughter was

confident that she was still in a good situation, but the old lady was less

assured and had more of a first-hand view of the situation.

Afraid they might start arguing and ruining the peaceful atmosphere,

Emmanuel quickly advised them, “Mom, Roselynn, since we’re returning to our

hometown, we should leave soon. Let’s leave this topic until we return!”
