Chapter 580
“What’s the big deal? Just an ordinary guy?”
“Yeah, why would Ms. Quillen be interested in him?”
“Is this the real–life version of a loser’s comeback?”
“I can’t believe it!”
The discussion erupted in an instant. Emmanuel could not deny feeling the
pressure, but he managed to maintain a calm expression. He knew very well
that he came here today to have a New Year’s Eve dinner with his wife’s
family, not to meet the public’s aesthetic standards.
He did not have high expectations for himself because he was only an
ordinary person. He did not need everyone’s approval as long as Mackenzie
did not mind.
Amidst the crowd’s anticipation, she gracefully walked up to him, extending
her hand and gently linking it with his arm. Witnessing this scene, many
people in the vicinity gasped in surprise. Everyone should understand by now.
“Ladies and gentlemen, this is the man I’ve been dating, Emmanuel, during
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtmy trial period. Thank you for your attention.” Mackenzie finished speaking
and immediately linked arms with Emmanuel, leading him to their seats.
The surrounding discussions erupted like an exploding tide, hitting them
head–on. However, she remained composed, seemingly unaffected by the
chatter. Although he was nervous, his heart pounding, he found himself
somewhat enjoying the current sensation.
It was not about vanity but the excitement of achieving love and making it
official. She was his first love! Suddenly, he felt like the luckiest person alive,
having married the goddess who made his heart skip a beat the first time
they met.
Many men looked on at this scene, their hearts breaking. Hubert, in particular,
felt like he had been shot seven times. He had sincerely liked Mackenzie for
many years and even made vows on multiple occasions that he would
marry no one but her. What now? His goddess was gone, so did he have to
become a monk for the rest of his life?
Unthinkable!
“Ms. Quillen, congratulations to both of you! Can I offer you a toast and give
you my blessings?”
After Mackenzie and Emmanuel took their seats, a group of guests
immediately made a ruckus lining up to toast the couple. Of course, they
were all there for Mackenzie; who cared about her man? They did not even
spare him a second glance!
While Emmanuel understood this, he did not mind and did his best to support
his wife.
“Hey, you big dummy! Mackenzie can’t handle her alcohol. You have to drink
for her.” Beatrix, seeing the overwhelming number of people coming to offer
toasts, quickly approached Emmanuel and reminded him, pouting her lips.
“You’re still in Mackenzie’s probationary period. If you don’t understand how to
be considerate and look after her, I’ll be the first to go after you!”
He smiled bitterly and immediately took three drinks on behalf of Mackenzie,
assertively protecting his wife. Luckily, he had a good tolerance for alcohol.
Especially recently, he had received a special medicinal prescription from his
master, and his meridians were currently undergoing repair while his internal
energy gradually recovered.

Seeing this scene, Hubert could no longer bear it and gave Hugo a
meaningful look. The latter understood him perfectly and immediately joined
a few others shouting, “Hey, Emmanuel! How come we heard that you’re
physically weak and have erectile dysfunction? Can a guy like you handle
alcohol? Are you going to risk your life trying to drink?”
“Haha, indeed! It’s worth dying for if you can drink with Ms. Quillen, even if you
drink yourself to death!”
“Come on, let’s go toast him together!”
“I’m just worried if he’s actually married to Ms. Quillen. What if he drinks
himself to death and leaves Ms. Quillen widowed?”
“Hush, what are you saying? With Ms. Quillen’s status, she doesn’t lack any
men! If he drinks himself to death, she’ll just move on to the next one! Haha…”
The group of people became more vulgar as they spoke.
However, according to Chanaea’s customs, when a man and a woman
confirmed their relationship, many people believed that the livelier and
somewhat vulgar the atmosphere, the more festive it was. Many people
wanted to assert dominance over Emmanuel, so the words and actions of
Hugo and his group came with implicit support.
