Chapter 247

Chapter 247 At 11.00PM, Emmanuel finally heard someone knocking at the door. He quickly rushed to open it and accidentally bumped into the corner of the table, which made him grit his teeth in pain. The moment he opened the door, he saw Lexi supporting Mackenzie, and he couldn’t help but feel surprised. “Ms. Summerton?”  Although he had seen Lexi before, it hadn’t been on office grounds. As a part–time errand runner for this project, he only worked at night and rarely encountered such a famous person close to the CEO. He remembered helping this beautiful woman driving a BMW get out of a staged accident in front of the cafe back then. However, he couldn’t understand why she was accompanying Mackenzie home now. “Hi, Mr. Lowe. I am Ms. Quillen’s friend. We were drinking just now, and she got -drunk. As such, I had to send her back!” “Oh, thank you.” He quickly expressed his gratitude and was about to support Mackenzie from Lexi’s hands. Sigh, why do you resort to drinking whenever you’re angry? You’re a woman, and even more than that, you’re a goddess. “Go away! Don’t touch me!” Although Mackenzie was drunk, she was still conscious. Before he could touch her, she forcefully slapped him away. At her reaction, he frowned instantly. Goodness, this is embarrassing. She’s acting like I’ve committed some sort of unforgivable offense. When Lexi noticed the situation, she couldn’t help but force a smile. “It seems you need to put more effort into comforting your wife, Mr. Lowe. I’ll get going now.” “Alright, thank you.” Emmanuel suppressed his anger and thanked her once again. After closing the door, he turned around and noticed that Mackenzie had already collapsed onto the couch. Due to the effects of alcohol, her movements were ten times wilder than usual. In any case, her behavior was completely different from his first impression of her.  “If you have something on your mind, you can tell me, Ms. Quillen. You don’t have to go out drinking every time. You said I got into fights four times a month after our marriage, but you’ve been drunk three times a month too.” He voiced out his emotions. This only infuriated Mackenzie further. I got drunk every time because of you! However, she chose not to say anything and emitted an icy aura as she replied, “Does it have anything to do with you? I’ll drink if I want to. You can go  and drink with Ms. Lenoir if you want to!”  “Let me get this straight, Ms. Quillen. Ms. Lenoir is both my patient and my friend. She got injured during the game, and I was just escorting her home. That’s all,” he quickly explained the situation. Yet, she laughed coldly. “She got injured during the game, but why did you have to carry her home? What is she to you? Your wife?”  “My relationship with her is not what you think it is,” he further explained. “I’ve known her for three years. That’s way before I even met you, Ms. Quillen. Believe it or not, our relationship is platonic.”  sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ ƒindηʘvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Hearing that, she stood up directly and sneered. “You’re finally showing your true colors. So, you’ve been looking for a wealthy woman all along, eh? Did you only marry me for my grandfather’s money?” He instantly let out a sigh, feeling greatly disappointed that she would say such things. “Let me make you a cup of tea to sober up. After you drink it, take a shower and rest early.” “Why? Did I hit the nail on the head? You can’t even be bothered to explain anymore, huh?”  “Please stop making baseless accusations.” Emmanuel was generally easygoing, but he had his limits too. Mackenzie’s accusations about him made his temper flare up, and they faced each other directly, locking eyes. “We signed a contract back then. Besides appeasing my mother and making her happy, what other benefits do I get from marrying you?”  In fact, Mackenzie understood what he meant. If he married her for money, it would have been better for him to marry Claudette when he didn’t know she 5/5 was the daughter of the Quillen family. That woman is clearly throwing herself at him. I can’t help feeling uncomfortable, that’s all. Sigh, I don’t feel like myself anymore. This feels terrible. It feels like I’ve been dragged down to a lower level by this idiot!
