Chapter 59
With that, Mackenzie stood up, her face devoid of
expression.
Emmanuel instantly leaped to his feet and raced to
guard his plate of pasta.
The pasta looked really delicious, and the plating was
perfect. Every noodle was cooked to perfection, and
the accompanying sauces and garnishes were
artistically arranged on the plate.
Emmanuel found himself silently admiring her for her
thoughtfulness. If he had been the one responsible for

knowing that in two days, he would finally be able to
