Mistaken Match Marrying the Enigmatic CEO novel Chapter 782
Chapter 781
Emmanuel arrived at Terence Group a little before 6 p.m. only to learn that
Mackenzie had already gone home.
He was puzzled. Is she okay? This has never happened before.
With a hint of worry, Emmanuel hurriedly drove home.
Upon opening the door, he found Mackenzie slouching on the couch, her
beautiful eyes half-closed, seemingly asleep.
Emmanuel felt a pang of heartache.
After being married for over three months, this was the first time he had seen
her looking so tired.
Concerned that she might be uncomfortable sleeping like this, Emmanuel
gently tried to lift her up to put her back on the bed.

To his surprise, Mackenzie was still quite awake. Just as he placed his large
hand on her shoulder, she suddenly opened her eyes.
Chapter 781 Wash Her What?1
Seeing her vigilant look, Emmanuel felt a bit embarra*sed and quickly
explained, “I only meant to carry you to bed.”
Mackenzie’s gaze became even more alert in response.
Only then did Emmanuel realize that his words could be interpreted
ambiguously, so he further explained, “What I mean is, I wanted to carry you
to bed to sleep. The position here is not comfortable!”

Feeling that Mackenzie was still giving him a strange look, Emmanuel started
to feel a bit frustrated. How did this turn into such a misunderstanding?!
“That’s alright. I won’t sleep anymore.”
Mackenzie knew that he didn’t mean it that way; she just thought he was a
fool. Has he really never considered sleeping with me?!
“Okay then, if you’re too tired, you should wash up and go to bed early.”
Emmanuel let go of her shoulder and expressed his concern.
Suddenly, Mackenzie remembered that Wally helped her bring in the bag of
Chapter 781 Wash Her What?!
peaches earlier and had left it on the table.
Having just been dozing off and now feeling a bit thirsty, she asked,
“Emmanuel, can you help me wash the peaches?”
3/5
What?! Emmanuel thought he was hallucinating. What did Mackenzie ask me
to help wash?! Has our marital relationship progressed to this point?
“What’s wrong? Can’t you?” Mackenzie sat up and lazily stretched her waist.
The curve of her figure was like a deadly weapon, capable of destroying
anyone’s composure.
“Um… Is this really okay?” Emmanuel, who was impervious to any woman’s
charms, suddenly became nervous as if he had been electrified. His entire
body tensed up.
Is she testing me?
“What’s wrong? Don’t you want to?” Mackenzie looked at him, her eyebrows
slightly furrowed.
“I… I do.” Emmanuel could only nod and unconsciously swallowed.
Seems like Mackenzie’s serious about this. Is she so tired that she doesn’t
even have the energy to wash up?
Mackenzie thought he had seen the bag of peaches, so she stood up directly
and turned around, saying, “I’ll go brush my teeth first, then!”
She had a bit of an obsession with cleanliness. After dozing off for a while, she
would brush her teeth before eating.
“Wait!” Emmanuel quickly stopped her.
“What’s the matter?” Mackenzie turned to look at him.
Every single moment with this woman was a beautiful scene.
“How do you usually like to wash? Do you want to use the bathtub?”
This being his first time with Mackenzie, he thought he couldn’t afford to be
careless.

Chapter 781 Wash Her What?!
Mackenzie paused for a moment. Being as smart as she was, she
immediately understood that Emmanuel, the big fool, had misunderstood.
He didn’t see the bag of peaches, did he?
She had thought about clarifying right away, but upon second thought, he
decided to see if this man had the audacity.
“No need for the bathtub!” said Mackenzie as she revealed a smile that was
both teasing and mysterious before striding away gracefully.
Chaos!
Chapter 782
Emmanuel’s heartbeat was completely thrown into disarray!
He had thought that, at most, Mackenzie would ask him to help her with
preparing a hot bath, but now she wasn’t even using the bathtub. She’s
serious about wanting me to scrub her, ahem, doesn’t she?
Just thinking about the scene made his blood boil…
Good heavens, Mackenzie must actually be sick and not just tired today! She
looks quite unwell!
Since she had demanded his a*sistance, he could only comply.
While Mackenzie went to brush her teeth, he entered the bathroom, adjusted
the water temperature, and prepared the shower gel and bath sponge.
Thinking that in a little while, Mackenzie would be standing before him,
completely nude, asking for his a*sistance with her bath, he found his heart
racing.
He wouldn’t have dared to even dream of such a thing before.
Today, I can finally openly appreciate wifey’s beautiful body…
Is she also planning to do something else after the shower? Has Grandpa
pressured her to get pregnant sooner again?
His racing heart gradually became even more chaotic.
Emmanuel walked somewhat absentmindedly out of the bathroom and ran
straight into Mackenzie.
“What’s wrong? You seem a little off,” she said with a slightly mischievous
smile, her long eyelashes curved upward playfully.
“I… I’m fine. I’m ready to help you with your shower!” Emmanuel actually
couldn’t meet his wife’s gaze, and his focus kept shifting.
“Do you need such formal preparations for washing peaches?” Mackenzie
suddenly pointed to a bag of peaches on the table in the living room. “I
meant washing those peaches. Where did your mind wander off to?”
Emmanuel continued more fluently, “Ms. Quillen, you are my legal wife. Isn’t it
normal for a husband to misunderstand what you said just now?
“I’ll say it straight, Ms. Quillen. You have a great figure, delicate skin, and most
importantly, there’s an inexplicable allure about you that attracts me. I enjoy
admiring your body, and I crave your touch, okay?! Is this answer
satisfactory?”
Mackenzie furrowed her brows and stared icily at Emmanuel. How dare he! I
can’t believe he sair such shameless things to my face!
If it were someone else, Mackenzie would have slapped him across the face
and cursed him for generations to come. However, there was a strange
flutter in her heart right now.
Emmanuel was being so candid that she found herself avoiding his gaze.
Emmanuel really wanted to take advantage of the situation and pull his wife
into the bathroom to help her shower. But his courage slowly dissipated, and
with a red face, he said, “Since the water temperature is already adjusted,
Mackenzie, you go ahead and shower. I’ll wash the peaches for you!”
Chapter 782 Yes, I Want To Help You Shower!
Mackenzie snorted coldly, turned her face away, and remained silent. Her
heartbeat slightly accelerated.
Just when I wonder if he’d dare pull mé into the bathroom.
But in the end, Emmanuel didn’t dare to do it, pa*sing by her side instead.
“Coward!” Mackenzie muttered under her breath and coldly walked into the
bathroom.
5/5
Emmanuel face-palmed, deeply regretting how he could’ve uttered such
words just now. How dare I actually tell the Ice Queen that I crave her body?! I
must be out of my mind! You’re supposed to be a straight-laced guy,
Emmanuel! How can you have such thoughts…
Chapter 783
“Jaxton, a man should speak with more decorum, especially when
addressing his wife!” Sebastian immediately scolded his son.
Jaxton looked sullen but dared not disobey his father.
Jennifer’s gaze, on the other hand, was even more ominous.
Her priorities were different from those of the men. She did not involve herself
in the Oatley business and only cared about her position within the family.
Now that Sebastian was praising Roselynn so highly, and considering that her
son was planning to bring Roselynn back, as the mother-in-law, would she
have to live according to her daughter-in-law’s whims? No way would she
accept that!
As for Jessica, she remained silent. While she didn’t look as displeased as
Jennifer, her expression was still icy.
Roselynn’s palms began to sweat upon seeing the family, and she forced
herself to face them with a smile.
Chapter 783 The Oatleys’
dden Visit
“Oh, Mr. and Mrs. Oatley, what brings you guys here? Please come in!”
Alessandra, as the host, could only invite the Oatleys inside first.
“Hello, Mrs. Lowe. Sorry for the intrusion!” Sebastian maintained his dignity and
spoke politely to Alessandra.
Meanwhile, the Oatley siblings nodded casually and went straight inside.
As for Jennifer, she didn’t even spare Alessandra a glance.
In her eyes, a rural woman like Alessandra naturally had a cla*s barrier
separating them. She had no interest in a*sociating with such women.
The Oatleys’ visit on this day was due to Sebastian’s pressure and Jennifer’s
desire to resolve her son’s marriage.
If Roselynn continued to dare put on airs, Jennifer, as the mother-in-law,
would not tolerate her anymore.
After the Oatleys entered the house, Alessandra quickly instructed, “Roselynn,
chat with your husband’s family while I make some tea.”
Chapter 783 The Oatleys’ Sudden Visit
and never liked to be taken advantage of. “You’re not treating me like a
daughter-in-law but rather a servant!”
“You-how dare you!” Jennifer almost raised her hand. In her belief, no
daughter-in-law could defy their mother-in-law like this.
4/4
Jennifer’s reaction toward Roselynn’s attitude was driven not only by the fact
that Roselynn didn’t take Jaxton seriously but also because she believed that
her son’s injury at the amusement park was caused by this woman.
Moreover, her son had been bedridden for days, yet as his wife, Roselynn
hadn’t visited him even once. Is this even right?!
“Jennifer, be polite!” Sebastian quickly stopped Jennifer, then smiled at
Alessandra. “Apologies, Mrs. Lowe. My wife is just too concerned about our
son, so her mood isn’t the best after seeing him injured.”
“Oh, is Jaxton alright?”
Chapter 784
Alessandra finally showed concern. He was her son-in-law, after all. She
should’ve shown concern earlier.
ו
“It’s nothing, just two fractures.” Jaxton’s expression was peculiar; not exactly
angry, but it seemed like he was deliberately showing a certain demeanor.
As they said, a strange tone!
“Hmph, it’s all because of your daughter that my son got injured!” Jennifer
couldn’t help but get angry again. “The Ferris wheel incident, Jaxton jumped
to protect her, and that’s how he ended up with fractures!”
Hearing this, Alessandra looked confused. It was a different version from
what her daughter told her.
Roselynn was even infuriated. When her mom asked about it earlier, she had
spared Jaxton by not revealing the details. She had only mentioned that
everyone was fine and that she and Jaxton had jumped separately. Who
would’ve thought that this shameless man would claim that he got injured to
protect her?!
Chapter
No wonder Jennifer is so hostile. It’s all because of this shameless b*stard!
Seeing Roselynn’s fierce gaze, Jaxton instinctively lowered his head and
quickly said, “Mom, actually, my injury has nothing to do with Roselynn…”
“Enough, don’t defend her anymore!” Jennifer was still boiling with anger, and
she exclaimed, “I know you like her, but marriage isn’t just about love. It can’t
be one-sided all the time! We’ve come today to clarify things!”
After a pause, she glared sharply at Alessandra and demanded an answer,
“We demand an answer today, Mrs. Lowe. Should this marriage continue or
not?”
“Well…” Alessandra naturally wanted her daughter’s marriage to last forever. It
would be embarra*sing if they divorced after only two months of marriage.
That said, she didn’t want to pressure Roselynn too much. She could only look
at her daughter with pleading eyes, leaving the decision up to her.
约
Roselynn gritted her teeth and confronted them directly. “Don’t think I don’t
know you’ve been waiting until now to confront us because you want to use
Chapter 784 Mackenzie Shows up
The family of four shivered simultaneously.
This inherent aura of the aristocracy was something they couldn’t contend
with as members of a small family.
“Mrs. Oatley, are you suggesting that my family should seek favors from
yours?” Mackenzie’s expression and demeanor were so chilling that it
seemed like she could freeze the Oatleys over.
Jennifer, who had been confident just a moment ago, was now as timid as a
quail and dared not speak. She had spoken out of impulse earlier, but she
knew full well that the camel’s bones were still bigger than those of a horse.
How dare she boast in front of Mackenzie, the heiress of the Quillen family?!
“No, no, no, Ms. Quillen, please don’t misunderstand!” Sebastian quickly smiled
and explained, “Women don’t know better. I will reprimand her when I get
back!”
He thought this would win some favor with Mackenzie. Little did he know that
Mackenzie became even colder. She furrowed her brows slightly and
questioned, “I am also a woman, so are you implying that I also don’t know
Chapter 785
Mackenzie emerged from the bathroom with slightly damp hair and smelled
nice.
As she stepped into the living room, her eyes fell upon the clear gla*s bowl
filled with peaches.
Casually, she casually picked one up and took a small bite.
Her graceful manner of eating was truly elegant, and her chewing motion
was a sight to behold.
Emmanuel couldn’t help gawking at her.
His wife, in her nightwear, had a remarkably alluring figure, something that
even he, a former gynecologist, found hard to resist.
Despite sharing the same physiological structure as other women, there was
2
something about her that seemed slightly different.
“It’s quite sweet. Do you want some?” Mackenzie suddenly looked over with
her beautiful eyes.
Emmanuel instinctively averted his gaze, feeling somewhat uneasy. “I’ve
already had some; it’s indeed quite sweet.”
Seeing his slightly unnatural expression, a hint of a smile appeared on
Mackenzie’s lips, giving her a sense of accomplishment that she could make
even a gynecologist crave her body.
The fatigue from earlier in the day seemed to vanish due to the pleasure she
felt both physically and mentally. Perhaps, this was one of the benefits of
marriage?
“Let’s go home together tomorrow.”
“Home? Whose home?” Emmanuel immediately raised his head, his eyes
showing a hint of surprise.
“What do you think?” Mackenzie smiled.
Emmanuel wasn’t as clueless as she had imagined. He became excited

you plan on suing Hubert Verkade?”
“No,” Emmanuel replied straightforwardly. “If I wanted to finish him off, I
wouldn’t have saved him that day. That said, he’s probably regretting being
alive now.”
A hint of admiration flashed in Mackenzie’s eyes, and she continued, “You
don’t mind if I use this incident to gain some business benefits, then?”
4/5
Of course not! If you need my help, just ask anytime!” Emmanuel was
remarkably open, understanding that his wife’s interests were his interests as
well.
“That won’t be necessary,” Mackenzie said. “Though Hubert is suffering right
now, his mother still doesn’t want him in jail. I can at least utilize that to
secure more than 30 million in benefits from the Verkades for my business.
Do you need any repayment from me?”
“Your company with me tomorrow to visit my family is the best repayment,”
Emmanuel said with a smile.
Mackenzie blinked in slight surprise, then felt a sweet sensation well up in her
