“Everyone, allow me to introduce my fiancée, Quetta Booker! She works for a

major company in Yeringham and earns a monthly salary of over tens of

thousands!” Howard introduced proudly.

With that, the surrounding elders were even more impressed, raising their

thumbs and showering him with praise for his achievements!

Frederick, on the other hand, wore a displeased expression. Howard had

been Emmanuel and his childhood playmate, but he was always fiercely

competitive. He would demand to win in games and cry if he did not, and

boast when he emerged victorious. Much to Frederick’s surprise, he had to

put on a show and boast about his success, even in the matter of finding a

partner.

“Frederick, if I’m being honest, Howard’s woman may be average, but he still

outshines you and Manny in terms of making his presence known!” Shane

seized the opportunity to take another jab upon seeing Frederick’s gloomy

expression.

Frederick’s mouth twitched. This is my turf! Do they think I have no pride? And

how dare Howard flaunt his success in front of my best friend with a wife of

such caliber! Just wait until I unveil my friend’s wife. I’ll reduce you to dust in

an instant!

Just as he was about to speak up, another couple entered the room. The

woman exuded an air of dignity and elegance, captivating the men in the

room with her strong feminine charm. Even Emmanuel could not help but be

taken aback, his eyes fixed on her with a sense of surprise.

“Frederick, Emmanuel, you finally returned for the New Year this year! Have

you been doing well out there? Have you both married and settled down?”

the woman spoke gently, emanating a noble and refined aura.

“Queenie, is that you? How…” Emmanuel’s voice trailed off. As the saying goes,

‘Women change greatly in eighteen years.‘ It seems that this ancient saying——

holds. The once chubby little girl has now blossomed into a beautiful woman.

His expression was one of surprise, not because he had any personal feelings

toward Queenie Banner but because her transformation was truly

remarkable. However, in the eyes of others, it appeared as if he was

captivated by her beauty, unaware that he was comparing her to Mackenzie

and finding her somewhat lackluster.

“Haha, Emmanuel! Isn’t my sister much more gorgeous now? But let me

advise you, don’t have any delusions. Although she played the role of your

bride in our childhood games, you’re no longer worthy of her!” Howard burst

into laughter, making no effort to conceal his disdain for Emmanuel.

Queenie also assessed Emmanuel with a tinge of disappointment in her

gaze. As a childhood playmate, she held a favorable impression of him.

However, she observed that he seemed to be struggling in life. On the first

day of the New Year, he returned to the village looking plain and covered in

dust.

“Howard, it’s not fun when you put it that way. Do you think you’re doing so

much better? Do you have any idea how incredible Emmanuel’s wife is? He’s

even more deserving of your sister!” Frederick could not bear to watch any

longer and stood up for Emmanuel.

Unfortunately, Emmanuel was not one to seek the limelight. Moreover, he

believed finding a spouse was about mutual affection, and boasting was

unnecessary. Therefore, he quickly tugged on Frederick’s sleeve. However, his

action was misunderstood, and people began to think that Frederick was

making up stories about him.

Howard once again observed Emmanuel from head to toe, wearing a

sarcastic smile. “So, Emmanuel, you’re married, huh? Oh. You brought your

wife back to honor our ancestors this year, right? Where is she, then? Why

didn’t you bring her along to introduce her to us?”

Emmanuel calmly replied, “She didn’t come with me.”

Howard immediately burst into laughter. “So, she didn’t come, or maybe she

doesn’t even exist? I’ve heard of people inventing imaginary friends, but

inventing an imaginary wife takes it to a whole new level!”

The surrounding elders began to discuss among themselves. While it was

generally challenging for village men to find wives, they had never witnessed

someone boldly claiming to have one when they did not.

“Howard, enough with the nonsense!” Queenie quickly intervened to halt her

brother’s remarks.

Shane and Frederick assumed that Queenie was trying to spare Emmanuel

from embarrassment because she still had lingering feelings for him.

However, Emmanuel felt differently. As the saying goes, ‘Women change

greatly in eighteen years.‘ The current Queenie doesn’t evoke the same

innocent and carefree feelings back in childhood. Instead, she appears

profound, akin to a tranquil lake.
