Chapter 42
“What? You want to borrow money from me again?”
Mackenzie furrowed her brows. “How much?”
“Three thousand. Can you spare it?”
Mackenzie was annoyed at his request for a loan.
When she previously gave him an allowance, he
refused it out of his chauvinistic pride. Yet, he kept
borrowing money from her time and again.
Men are such prideful creatures! What a joke!
“I’ll definitely pay you back once I receive my salary.”

Nevertheless, Emmanuel felt that his pride was hurt

Mackenzie was subsequently annoyed to receive his
message.
Why is he behaving like a stranger when both of us are
husband and wife?
Meanwhile, Alessandra had gone to Benny’s house to
borrow money.
“Alessandra, I don’t have any money to spare.”
Benny avoided her like the plague when he realized
that she came for a loan. “We have just bought a new
