Chapter 616

Chapter 616 “Well, then…” Emmanuel was also reasonable. He sighed and said, “I’m sorry, looks like I have to figure something out. I genuinely like you and want to be with you. I want us to grow old together and to be buried in the same place.” Mackenzie was too stunned to say anything. Who confesses. so out of the blue? I’m not ready for this! She blushed slightly, somewhat satisfied with his foolish attitude. She did not continue to give him a hard time and quickly changed the subject. “Now that my grandfather and I have come to your house for the New Year, is there something else we should do next?” “Of course there is!” “What is it?” she asked. Since she was here, she would fulfill her role as a wife. She would not give up halfway like Emmanuel because that was not her style! As the female CEO of Terence Group, she valued efficiency and reputation in her work. Marriage was no exception. Emmanuel looked at the time and smiled. “Perfect timing. I’ll take you to meet our old godfather in the village!” : “Old grandfather?” Mackenzie frowned, wondering why it was so troublesome. In the Hero’s Village, the church shouldered a sacred place. A long time ago, it used to be a village school but was replaced by public academics as time passed and society developed. The old teacher became unemployed and the school was converted into a church for worship. Respected and revered by everyone in the village, the old teacher had students throughout the whole town. As one would say, a teacher resembled a father. Since the old teacher never married, his disciples, as a sign of respect, had their descendants address him as godfather.

Emmanuel’s grandfather was also a disciple of the old teacher, so his father referred to him as the godfather. In Emmanuel’s generation, they addressed him as the old godfather. The situation in other families in the village was probably similar to his. So, gradually, the old teacher became the old godfather of the entire Hero’s Village. On the way to the church, Terence got curious and asked Emmanuel for information regarding the old godfather. He was surprised and asked, “Are you saying the old godfather of Hero’s Village is over a hundred years old? He participated in the war eighty years ago?” Emmanuel nodded. “That’s right. Many descendants in Hero’s Village are inspired by his patriotic spirit and volunteered to go to the border, sacrificing their lives to defend our great country’s land and rivers!” He was one of them. So, the old godfather held a high position in his heart. “Well, it seems he is truly an admirable old man!” Terence also nodded, eager to meet this legendary figure in the Hero’s Village. After all, very few people in the world could be considered his peers at his age! Alfred walked alongside him without saying a word, but his narrowed eyes revealed a hint of curiosity. On the other hand, Mackenzie remained silent throughout the journey and quietly walked. Along the way, everyone’s eyes were on her, rendering her somewhat distracted. Although she had been the center of attention since taking over as the CEO of Terence Group, the feeling of being adored today was different from before. In the past, those who adored her had no connection with her and only sought to flatter her for their interests, which she had no interest in and even found repulsive. However, the villagers of Hero’s Village, apart from some men, had pure admiration for her, giving her the feeling of being a top star and meeting genuine fans. “Look, Emmanuel and his wife have come to church!” The moment Emmanuel and his group arrived at the open space in front of the church, someone immediately shouted. It was Shane, and it was obvious that he loved to attract attention. After all, as Emmanuel’s junior, he should also bask in some of his senior’s prestigious glory, right? Many were devoutly waiting for the old godfather in front of the open space of the church. Upon hearing Shane’s call, they turned to look at Emmanuel and Mackenzie, who suddenly felt a hostile gaze and instinctively looked in that direction. The woman looking at her was none other than Emmanuel’s childhood friend, Queenie! Search the FindNovel.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
