Chapter 329

Chapter 329 “Mackenzie has a really strange temper, Mom. I just don’t understand her!” Cornered by Alessandra’s pressure, Emmanuel had no choice but to turn around and speak. “W–What?” She was also in a state of exasperation, not knowing whether to  cry or laugh. Immediately, she circled back to him, assuming a parental posture. “Manny, women’s thoughts are more delicate and complex than men’s. It’s normal for women to throw some tantrums. You’re a grown man. Can’t you accommodate her a bit?” “Mom, I-” He wanted to say that he had been accommodating her all along. However, his personality prevented him from saying anything. He was so  frustrated that he even took out a cigarette and wanted to smoke it. Yet, Alessandra snatched the cigarette from him and reprimanded, “You don’t usually smoke, so why are you smoking now? I’m telling you now. If you don’t bring Mackenzie back, I’ll… I’ll be angry! Really angry!” Growing increasingly desperate, her tone of speech indicated her state of mind. She had always showered her son with affection, never before uttering such words. Naturally, Emmanuel understood his mother’s feelings, but he was more worried about her health. So, he quickly supported her shoulder and comforted her, “Calm down, Mom. I understand everything you’re saying.” In his mind, however, he thought, Even if I understand, Mackenzie probably won’t see me again. I don’t have the chance to accommodate her anymore, even if I want to. “This won’t do! I can’t just sit here and do nothing. I’ll talk to Old Mr. Quillen and see if he has any good solutions.” Alessandra knew that her son’s efforts were futile, so it was better to go and talk to Terence. When Emmanuel saw that she had a plan, he became less worried. Regardless of what she said to Terence, after she finished the call, he told her that he would bring Tommy to stay with them for a few days, and she agreed. Since he didn’t ask, she didn’t tell him what she had talked about with Terence either. On the other hand, in the Lenoir Residence, Claudette paced back and forth in her room, holding her phone. She wanted to contact Emmanuel, but she couldn’t muster the courage, as she was afraid of being accused of breaking up someone else’s marriage and being a shameless mistress. But why can’t I  contact him? I heard that he has already divorced Mackenzie. “Gosh, this is killing me!” She sighed and put her phone down for now. In the next moment, the door of the room was pushed open by a seductive woman. Startled, Claudette stared and said, “Aunt Laura, can you have some manners? Remember to knock when entering a room. And why are you dressed like this? I thought it was some prostitute who entered the wrong room.” Both mother and daughter were goddess–like figures outside, and everyone thought they were elegant. However, if men from outside were to see how the two were behaving at home, their eyeballs would probably pop out in -shock. Laura–General Lenoir’s wife–always wore sleepwear that was more revealing than underwear, parading around the house. What Claudette said was the truth. Even the women working at a massage parlor wouldn’t dress as provocatively as Laura.

Then, she walked into the room and directly pointed out what was on Claudette’s mind. “So, still hesitating whether to pursue your Dr. Lowe? Do you expect not to be criticized for being a mistress?”  Instantly, Claudette became agitated and said, “Hey, can you use better words?” In her mind, she added, Although that’s the truth. “Didn’t I tell you? Becoming a legal wife from a mistress is a skill, and it’s something to be proud of. Now is your best opportunity. What are you hesitating about?” Laura came to encourage her. If she hesitates at this critical moment, it will erase all her previous efforts. Seeing Claudette remain silent, she continued, “Emmanuel is not an ordinary person. If you can have him, you will feel that you have great taste in men in the future.” Search the FindNovel.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
