Love at the Wrong Table (Emmanuel Lowe and Mackenzie) novel Chapter 92

Chapter 92

“What’s going on? I don’t remember locking the door,” Emmanuel

muttered under his breath as he tried to open the door.

He was sure he only closed the door and did not lock it.

Only one possible scenario exists; Mackenzie must have locked the door.

Likely she didn’t know I was out of the house and went to lock the door

when she passed by the living room since it was nearing bedtime. What

do I do now?

Emmanuel knew pressing the doorbell would not work if Mackenzie was

already in her room with the door closed. With the exceptional

soundproofing and the location of her room being the farthest in the

house, she could not hear the doorbell sound.

Emmanuel had no choice but to call her.

Ever since they signed the agreement, their relationship became tense.

Even making a phone call now made Emmanuel jittery for fear Mackenzie

would lose her temper. This did not happen in the past.

After being together for a while, Emmanuel knew Mackenzie did not like to

be disturbed during her rest. Hence, she would switch off her phone while

she slept.

He was mentally prepared to spend the night outside the house should

the call not get through.

After all, he had slept outside once when he was drunk.

Unexpectedly, the call got through. But, nobody answered.

He tried dialing again. After waiting for a while, the call was disconnected.

What’s the meaning of this? Emmanuel was flabbergasted.

Mackenzie did not answer Emmanuel’s call despite her phone being

switched on!

Meanwhile, Mackenzie was wide awake in her room. Earlier, she purposely

locked the main door even though she knew Emmanuel was outside the

2/6

house.

She could not explain her actions, but perhaps the earlier sight of

Emmanuel and Claudette together prompted her to do so. She felt they

looked more compatible, and thus, she decided to give them her blessing.

Well, go and find Claudette since you can’t enter the house!

In Mackenzie’s mind, Emmanuel was a love scammer who purposely

became a gynecologist and portrayed a favorable image to get close to

his victims. But in reality, he did not love them and only married them for
