A Whirlwind Marriage with the Beautiful CEO

Chapter 6

Marriage is not a child’s game. Now that we’re married,

we need to decide how we will do a certain something

that married couples do!

“Heh… As expected of a man!”

Mackenzie rolled her eyes when she heard that.

I knew it! Men and women do think differently, after all!

I care about our life as a married couple, but he’s only

concerned about our sex life!

“Unless you win my heart over, you can forget about Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

laying even a finger on me!”

“Very well, then!”

Emmanuel liked Mackenzie’s short and simple reply.

He never believed that a dense man like himself would

be able to win the heart of an ice queen like her. While

it was true that she could get his heart racing with her

beauty, that didn’t mean she would turn him on.

In fact, he even thought he was unable to be turned on

by women.

Hence, one of the main reasons he didn’t want to get

married was that he was afraid of not being able to

satisfy his wife sexually.

As such, Mackenzie’s refusal to have sex with him came

as a huge relief.

Mackenzie, however, wasn’t too pleased with his

response.

What the… This b*stard! I can tell he’s not faking it! I

know that most men wouldn’t dare express their

interest in me because of my cold personality, but that

doesn’t mean they don’t lust over me! I know I’m a very

beautiful woman, so why doesn’t this b*stard even

want to have sex with me? Is it because he’s a

gynecologist? I hate this so much!

The two then headed their separate ways after they

had made their terms clear with each other.

Emmanuel saw Milani at his doorstep with a basket of

fruits the moment he got home.

She looked like a completely different person with that

sweet smile on her face.

Disgusted by her pretentious behavior, Emmanuel told

her the truth right away.

“What? You rejected all of the gifts?”

Milani was shocked to the core when she heard that

he had returned the gifts worth ten million.

Oh, my goodness! Why would he do something so

stupid? Does he think he’s all high and mighty for

turning down those gifts? Ugh! Now I see why he’s so

unsuccessful in life! No one in their right mind would

ever want to marry a guy like him! They’d be poor for

life!

Alessandra came out of her room when she heard the

commotion. “Ah, Milani, you’re here! Come on in!” She

welcomed Milani excitedly when she saw the latter

standing at the door.

After all, that was the first time a woman had come to

see her son.

Alessandra was so desperate to marry Emmanuel off

that she didn’t even care if Milani’s family were a bunch

of horrible people.

To her surprise, however, Milani’s attitude changed

instantly.

“Sorry, but I’m really busy! Also, you can forget about

having me marry your son! He isn’t even worthy of

being my footstool, let alone my husband! I bet he’ll

never be able to find himself a wife! Goodbye!” Milani

shouted and stormed off immediately after.

Honestly, I don’t even know why my mom wanted me

to come visit him! This was such a huge waste of time!

Alessandra was left speechless by her sudden

outburst and change of heart.

What just happened? Why would she change her mind

so suddenly? Did she bring those fruits here just to

insult my son? What is wrong with her?

Emmanuel knew full well that Milani’s response was

due to the ten million that he gave up on.

Naturally, he had no interest in a gold-digger like her

either.

“My goodness! What a crazy woman she is!” Roselynn

exclaimed angrily when she came out and saw Milani

leaving.

M

She then turned toward Emmanuel and tried to

comfort him, saying, “You need to stay away from

women like her, Manny! Don’t take her words to heart!”

To her surprise, however, he didn’t seem to be

bothered in the slightest.

“Mom, Roselynn, I’m already married, so you two don’t

have to worry about me anymore.”

Alessandra and Roselynn were so shocked that they

both screamed in unison, “What?”

Roselynn’s voice was so shrill that she nearly shattered

the glassware in the house.

“Did you just say you’re married?”

“Who are you married to?”

“You’re not messing with us, are you, Manny? If I recall

correctly, you never had a girlfriend!”

Alessandra and Roselynn both fired questions at him

one after another.

Instead of trying to convince them, Emmanuel simply

whipped out his marriage certificate and showed it to

them.

The truth spoke for itself, leaving the two women

wide-eyed with shock.

Although the woman on the marriage certificate

looked gorgeous, they were still worried about her

personality.

“She looks hard to get along with!“

“Are you sure this isn’t some kind of scam?”

Emmanuel could understand their concerns, so he lied

to reassure them. “Don’t worry. She’s a woman I met

while I was a soldier at Northern Region. She’s a strong

woman and a perfectionist who cares a lot about her

image, so she didn’t want people to know about our

relationship. That’s why we’ve been keeping it a secret

all this while.”

“Ah, so that’s what happened…”

That explains why he refused to get himself a girlfriend

all these years! Turns out, he already had one all

along!

“I’m sorry for keeping it a secret from you two for so

long! I only did it to protect her career. Anyway, you

two no longer have to worry about me getting married.

Mackenzie and I will surely live a happy life together,”

Emmanuel reassured them, but they were still worried.

Roselynn was especially suspicious of his explanation.

If Manny already had a girlfriend all along, then why

did he wait until now to tell us about it? Why did he

waste his time attending those eighteen matchmaking

sessions? Oh, well… He must have his reasons for lying

to us, and I don’t want to make Mom worried by

exposing him.

“What does she do for a living, Manny? Why didn’t she

come home with you now that you two are married?”

Alessandra asked curiously.

No mother wouldn’t be curious about her

daughter-in-law, and Alessandra was no exception.

Emmanuel knew she would surely ask about

Mackenzie’s background, so he had prepared himself

to answer her questions.

“Mackenzie is a high-level executive in a huge

company, Mom. That’s why she can’t come home with

me.”

“What? Where will she stay, then?” Alessandra pressed

1.

“She bought a house of her own, Mom. Now that we’re

married, I’ll be moving in with her soon.”

“…”

Alessandra’s eyes teared up all of a sudden.

Roselynn didn’t want Emmanuel to leave either, but

she tried to comfort Alessandra anyway. “Manny is a

grown adult now, Mom. It was only a matter of time

before he moved out. You want to have grandchildren,

don’t you? It’ll be hard for that to happen if he stays

with you all the time!”

Of course, Alessandra understood that very well. After

all, no woman would want to live with their in-laws

these days. It would be very inconvenient for them to

have sex at night, too.

Even so, Alessandra’s tears still refused to stop flowing.

“I won’t object to your relationship if you love her,

Manny. I just have one request. Could you bring her

over so I can have a look at her? Also, I want you to

arrange for both our families to meet each other.”

Alessandra’s sincere requests were actually very

simple ones, but they were incredibly difficult for

Emmanuel to fulfill.

There’s no way a woman like Mackenzie would be

willing to visit our house! I don’t know what her job title

is, but her attire and attitude alone show that she’s no

ordinary woman. I doubt I can even afford to pay for

the dry cleaning if we end up getting her clothes dirty!

As for meeting her parents, that’s practically never

going to happen. She said she only agreed to marry

me to satisfy her grandfather, so getting her to show

up here and put up an act for me is simply asking for

the impossible. What do I do now?
