Chapter 610
Howard was stunned, and so was his wife.
Queenie trembled slightly. Is Emmanuel’s wife truly that perfect?
“Hahaha… Well, then. I’ll eagerly wait for Emmanuel’s wife to make me
question my life choices! It’s amusing to see how some people care so much
about their image that they silently suffer. It’s quite laughable!” Howard
wanted to immediately have a falling–out as he felt frustrated that
Emmanuel falsely claimed to have a wife when he did not.
As such, they did not have a chance to defend their reputation, which was
something that did not sit well with Howard.
“Howard, be mindful of your words!” Queenie reprimanded him but did not
elaborate further. Instead, she turned to Emmanuel and said, “We’ll take our
leave now. We’ll meet again when we pay respects to our ancestors later in
the afternoon.” With that, the two couples left Frederick’s house one after the
other.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“This is so infuriating!” Frederick was enraged by the demeaning expressions
of the Banner siblings. He felt they were looking down on him and his friends.
It’s one thing for them to look down on me, but I can’t tolerate them looking
down on Emmanuel!
He earnestly wished to give them a resounding slap in the face on
Emmanuel’s behalf.
Shane also told Emmanuel, “According to the statistics, there is a gender
imbalance in Chanaea, with around 30 million men facing difficulties finding
a wife. Additionally, millions of women choose not to get married. Not to
mention the wealthy men and officials who keep mistresses… In short, there
are over 100 million men in this predicament, so there’s nothing to be
ashamed of. You…”
As he spoke, the surrounding onlookers shifted their attention toward them.
However, before he could finish speaking, Emmanuel turned and walked
away as he did not want to engage in further conversation. When did it
become a necessity to prove one’s marital status by flaunting their wife in
public?
After departing from Frederick’s house, he walked to his ancestral home,
which was a moderately–sized brick house. His grandfather had been
honored for his military accomplishments on the battlefield, and as a result,
the officials had specially constructed this house for his family in the village.
Although the house had been neglected for many years, it was not much
dilapidated. When he returned, he found that Alessandra and Roselynn had
already finished tidying up the house! Moreover, Naomi Lawson, from the
neighboring house, had just left, indicating that she had a lengthy
conversation with Alessandra.
“Manny, do you think Mackenzie will come today?” Alessandra was also
anxious about the matter.
She had already informed others that Emmanuel and Mackenzie would be
coming to the village to celebrate the New Year. If Mackenzie did not show
up, she would not know how to handle the awkwardness in front of everyone.
“I’ll give her a call.” He did not want to keep speculating either and promptly
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmdialed Mackenzie’s number.
“Hello!” Soon, Mackenzie’s slightly cold voice came through on the other end.
Judging from her tone, it seems like she is still angry. Emmanuel’s heart
skipped a beat, but he mustered the courage to ask, “Mackenzie, can you find
your way to Hero’s Village?”
“What did you say? I can’t hear you. The signal on your end isn’t good-”
Beep. The call got disconnected.
He quickly checked the phone signal and realized Mackenzie was telling the
truth. Hero’s Village was in a remote area with unstable signal coverage.
When he attempted to call again, the line was abruptly disconnected, and he
could not establish a connection anymore.
“Manny, how is it?” Alessandra was extremely anxious.
“Mom, don’t worry. Mackenzie is smart. She’ll surely find her way to our house!”
Emmanuel reassured her but could not help feeling a bit uneasy deep down.
Will she come?
