Chapter 858 Emmanuel’s Assurance
70%
Emmanuel understood Nathan’s temperament well. Opting for a direct conversation and offering him some
benefits appeared to be the most effective approach.
“What? You’re leaving Yeringham for a few days?”
After returning home that evening, Mackenzie was genuinely surprised upon hearing Emmanuel’s words.
Within four days, Terence Group urgently needed a collaborative partner for extraction processing; otherwise, they
would incur substantial breach-of-contract penalties, putting them at risk of bankruptcy. And yet, Emmanuel wanted
to leave at this crucial moment?
“Yeah, Mackenzie. You’ve got to trust me. I’ll sort out this situation for you!”
Emmanuel couldn’t divulge too much. His identity had to remain undisclosed to her.
There were two compelling reasons for this.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtFirstly, missions at or above the S-level in the Northern Territory had to be kept confidential. If leaked, the person
responsible had to personally eliminate the informant.
Secondly, he was reluctant to explicitly involve Mackenzie in missions in the Northern Territory to minimize the risks
she might face.
“Emmanuel, whatever method you’ve got to help me, you really don’t have to do this!”
Mackenzie said earnestly, “I can handle this situation!”
She had grown accustomed to him being by her side, from driving her to and from work to cooking meals and
chatting with her…
She vividly remembered the restlessness she felt when he wasn’t around, nearly losing sleep over it. Therefore, she
genuinely didn’t want him to leave her.
Upon seeing her expression, Emmanuel walked up to her with a serious look and gently placed his hand on her
shoulder.
Over time, he had come to perceive this gesture as entirely natural.
“Mackenzie, listen to me.”
As soon as Emmanuel spoke, his slightly magnetic voice captivated her.
“I know you’re smart and capable. You’re an outstanding and remarkable woman. But as a husband, I should do my
best to ease my wife’s burden, cherish her, and protect her. It’s my responsibility and my right!”
What a fool!
Mackenzie was once again deeply moved by his words.
It was the same sweet talk, but coming from him, it carried a distinct resonance that set it apart from what she had
heard from other men.
When others spoke similarly, it often came across as cheesy or even repulsive, but Emmanuel, with his sincere
gaze, possessed an unparalleled impact that made it impossible for her to refuse.
Is he really the loser who had failed miserably on eighteen blind dates?
“Well, do whatever you want. Just come back soon!”
Mackenzie didn’t bother asking where he was going. If he wished to go, he was free to do so.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIf he wanted to be a responsible husband, she could be a generous wife and not restrict his freedom.
“Yeah, I’ll be back by your side as soon as possible!”
Emmanuel nodded. His gaze inadvertently fixated on Mackenzie’s soft, crimson lips, reminiscent of ripe and
glistening strawberries.
He wanted to give them a peck, but a sudden recollection of the awkward scene from the previous night mad him
hesitate for a moment.
Unable to tolerate his indecisiveness, Mackenzie took matters into her own hands and pressed his head down.
The moment their lips touched, Emmanuel was caught off guard as if a hundred thousand volts of electricity had
surged through him. His eyes widened instantly.
Both of them had wide-open eyes, and there was no hint of a romantic atmosphere.
After two seconds, Mackenzie pushed him away coldly.
Turning away, she realized her heart was pounding. Am I losing my mind? How could I have done such a foolish
thing? What if he misunderstands my intentions and decides to take advantage of me? I won’t have any valid
reason to refuse him then!
