Love at the Wrong Table (Emmanuel Lowe and Mackenzie) novel Chapter 69

Chapter 69

It was past eleven o’clock, but Emmanuel was not home yet.

Mackenzie could no longer remain calm and unaffected.

“That man is truly hateful! Didn’t I tell him that he’s to be home by eleven

o’clock?”

Gritting her teeth, she decided to seek him out and see what exactly he

was doing that he had not turned on his phone after such a long time.

Emmanuel had no idea that Mackenzie would seek him out. He was still

hugging Xylie with an arm.

“T-Thank you!” Xylie thanked Emmanuel after he wiped the floor with the

ruffians, her gaze trained on his arm around her.

In a flash, Emmanuel dropped his hold on her and urged, “It’s difficult to

remain untouched when you’re working in a bar. Be careful next time.

Others may not respect your wishes when you turn their advances down.”

“All right…”

Xylie nodded, her eyes sparkling as she stared at the man.

Never had she imagined that such a trope of a knight in shining armor

saving the damsel in distress would happen to her.

Not only was the man before her tall and handsome, but he also radiated

maturity. Coincidentally, he happened to be her cup of tea.

“What is this? What happened here?”

At that precise moment, Samuel arrived with a group of men.

Seeing that, all the patrons in the bar started taking off.

Even the manager was scared witless.

Oh God, what should I do if they fight in the bar when there are so many of

them?

However, Samuel stopped short when he had drawn close to the scene.

What on earth is happening here? The man on the ground is my sworn

brother, Rat. Meanwhile, the person who defeated them turned out to be

Emmanuel! He’s the ruthless man who wiped the floor with us alone at The

Paradise that night!

“You’re here just in time, Mr. Webber! I’m never going to rest until I’ve

ripped this brat to shreds today!”

Fury blazed in Rat’s eyes, and he struggled to his feet in excitement upon

seeing that his backup was here.

Such a scene frightened Xylie so much that she trembled incessantly. She

voluntarily leaned against Emmanuel, only to discover that he was still as

calm as ever.
