Chapter 37
“What? Where did you go just now?” Mackenzie
inquired casually after noticing her sister had
disappeared for a while.
“Hehe! I went to help you spy on a cheating husband,
of course!”
“What?”
Mackenzie frowned, and her gaze instantly became icy
cold.
When Beatrix saw her sister’s reaction, she appeared
scared on the outside, but she was ecstatic on the
inside. The stronger her reaction, the more important
that man is to her!
If it were any other man, Mackenzie would not be
bothered to spare them a glance even if he was
hooking up with other women in public, let alone show
any expression.
What exactly is that man capable of? I can’t believe he
can make my sister care about him.
However, to Beatrix’s disappointment, Mackenzie
merely frowned for a second before walking away with
an expression of indifference.
On the contrary, the former pouted, thinking it was not
fun, and ran after her. “Mackenzie, are you just going to
condone that man’s behavior?”
Mackenzie pretended to find it funny. “We agreed when
we married that it was all for show. Hence, I don’t care
if he cheats on me, let alone picks up girls!”
Naturally, she hoped that Emmanuel would cheat.
When that happened, she would have a legitimate
reason to get a divorce, and Terence would have
nothing to say about it.
“Is that so?”
Beatrix was a shrewd girl, and having lived with her
sister for so many years, how could she not know her
well?
She won’t even bother to explain herself if she truly
doesn’t care.
Moreover, she could easily tell that Mackenzie’s
carefree smile was fake.
For a woman with my sister’s personality, pretending to
smile carefreely is already very telling. She genuinely
cares about that man on the inside! Hehe! Maybe this
is the power of marriage?
“Then I’ll go to that man again, say you don’t care, and
let him continue what he’s doing!” NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
With that said, Beatrix deliberately turned around and
ran.
However, she had only run a little when she found
herself stuck in the same spot. It turned out that
Mackenzie had grabbed her from behind.
“Come back. You’d better mind your own business!
Otherwise, I’ll get Grandpa to give him to you!”
Mackenzie’s tactic worked as Beatrix immediately stuck
out her tongue and gave in.
The latter had just turned twenty and did not want to
be tied down by love so soon.
After the two sisters finished chatting, Mackenzie
continued socializing with the business elites but
became a little absent–minded.
Even she found it very strange. Why do images of
Emmanuel chatting and laughing with other women
keep appearing in my mind?
Before the banquet was over, she felt disinterested and
left the venue.
When she returned to Yociam Residence, she found
that the house was pitch–black.
She glanced at her watch and saw that it would be
eleven o’clock in twenty–five minutes. Emmanuel still
isn’t back yet?
“D*mn it!”
Mackenzie was furious. She hated nightlife and disliked
others disturbing her sleep at night even more.
My sleep will be disrupted if Emmanuel returns too late.
A woman’s complexion will suffer if she doesn’t get
enough sleep.
Indeed, she had already explained clearly to herself
that the reason for her anger was not because he was
picking up girls outside!
When that man comes back, I must set some rules for
him!
She was not expecting him to step into the house not
long after she entered it.
“Eh? You’re back so late too?”
Seeing that Mackenzie appeared to have just returned,
Emmanuel took advantage of the situation and asked,
unaware that the two had attended the same banquet
that night.
Mackenzie felt even more frustrated. She could
rightfully set rules for him if he had returned after
eleven o’clock, but now, she could not vent her anger.
“I will never return home after eleven as I must rest
before that. Got it?”
“Uh… Understood!”
Emmanuel nodded, but he felt that she seemed angry.
Why do I feel like her words carried a hint of hostility?
“Where did you go tonight?”
Mackenzie pretended to inquire casually in the next
moment, but her gaze was sharp. Let’s see how he
responds.
