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-cla*s
people. How am I supposed to eat these?
She also did not expect Alessandra to take such good care of her. The
latter was enthusiastically serving her food.
Not daring to reject Alessandra’s kind gesture, Mackenzie smiled before
putting down her fork and letting Alessandra pile more food onto her
plate.
Unfortunately, Terence was sitting beside her. He faked a cough and
glanced at her when he noticed she had stopped eating.

Mackenzie let out a heavy sigh. She had no choice but to push the plate of
food Alessandra had given her toward Emmanuel.
“Um…”
Alessandra’s face reddened in embarra*sment as awkwardness filled the
air.
Emmanuel also felt awkward. He was about to explain when Mackenzie
said, “I’m on a diet. I can’t eat too much.”
Emmanuel knew she was respecting Alessandra by saying that.
“Is that so? But you’re so skinny. What if you end up malnourished?”
Alessandra asked worriedly.
The corners of Mackenzie’s lips twitched in annoyance. My own mother
isn’t worried about me. Who are you to try to control my food intake?
“Mom, don’t you know? Times have changed, and so have beauty
standards. Nowadays, the skinnier you are, the prettier you are. It’s
understandable that you’re oblivious about it since there’s a huge gap
between our generations.” Roselynn hurried to explain to her mother and

placed ladles beside each dish. She knew Mackenzie must’ve been
disgusted and annoyed by how Alessandra had served her food.
“Haha, I’m sorry for being so uncivilized. I didn’t know about that.”
Alessandra was quick to apologize to Mackenzie.

“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
her. I can still put up with her if it’s just having a meal occasionally.
