Chapter 40

Chapter 40 “I got it. Why are you so long–winded when you’re a man?” admonished Mackenzie icily. After she ended her sentence, she felt it took quite a long time to calm herself down. I must admit, life after marriage vastly differs from a single life. It seems like it’ll take me some time to get used to living with another person. The next day was Sunday, yet she still left the house at half past six in the morning. For a workaholic, there were basically no rest days or holidays, only work days. Sitting in her office, she used her phone to check the surveillance footage instead of dealing with her matters hurriedly as she always did. The edges of her lips curved upward when she thought about how Emmanuel didn’t know she could monitor everything that happened in the house. I want to see what he’s doing when I’m not around. Unbeknownst to her, Beatrix just happened to have arrived outside her office, secretly watching her. “D*mn it! I knew that man was unreliable!” Suddenly, Mackenzie slapped her hand on the table because she saw him washing her pants by hand. He told me he would let the washing machine do the laundry! What right does he have to touch my pants? Hmph! That’s so personal! Wait a minute… The next moment, she instantly blushed because she realized why he was doing that. Apparently, he was removing her bodily secretion from the pants, which was very difficult for a washing machine to do. “I’m going to kill that man!” She exploded with rage and embarrassment. Outside the office, Beatrix thoroughly enjoyed watching her sister’s reaction because she rarely got a glimpse of that side of her older sibling. Suddenly, someone patted her shoulder, frightening her and spurring her to turn around. “Why are you hiding outside Ms. Quillen’s office, Ms. Beatrix?” Lexi couldn’t help but ask. Hastily, she argued, “I–I’m not! I came here to learn from her!” At that moment, she was working as a management trainee while studying. When she wasn’t busy with her studies or had a semester break, she would help her sister out at the company and learn how to run a business from her. “Here to learn? Why do I feel like you’re peeping at her?” While Lexi was a subordinate, she had a good relationship with the sisters. Hence, when no one was around, she would joke with Beatrix. “Shh! Don’t talk nonsense!” Immediately, she whispered into her ear. “Actually, Grandpa gave me a secret mission. He asked me to watch over my sister and her husband as well as help them conceive as soon as possible.” “What?” Lexi was shocked but skeptical. “Are you telling the truth?” Can you really persuade them to conceive? Also, since it’s a secret mission, why are you telling me this? “Of course, but the situation isn’t looking great right Sᴇaʀch Thᴇ ƒindηʘvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. now. Based on Mackenzie’s current state, I think she may kick her husband out at any moment!” speculated Beatrix based on what she saw earlier. Knitting her eyebrow, Lexi thought, I interacted with Emmanuel a few times before, and I don’t think he’s as simple as he appears to be. That much was evident when he helped me handle the scammer, deal with Mr. Webber, and handily grab Keegan’s fist last night. If he weren’t capable in some way, Old Mr. Quillen wouldn’t have taken a liking to him. Then, she said, “I disagree with you, Ms. Beatrix. I think that man will keep staying by her side.” Her words stunned Beatrix. Does she actually think that man can stand someone like Mackenzie?
