Love at the Wrong Table (Emmanuel Lowe and Mackenzie) novel Chapter 83

Chapter 83

Emmanuel’s and Mackenzie’s families sat at one table, and Benny’s and

Ryder’s sat at the other.

The atmosphere during lunch was quite harmonious.

Mackenzie was not used to such weird dishes eaten by the lower-class

“It’s all right,” Mackenzie uttered. Although this mother-in-law of mine likes

to nag, she has an excellent temper. Lucky for me, I don’t have to live with

Roselynn thought it was difficult to get along with Mackenzie, but she did
