Chapter 497
What a frosty woman! But she’s so gorgeous! thought the expert.
Mackenzie never paid attention to this bystander, though. After pushing the
door open, she was stunned right away, and her beautiful eyes blazed with
fury. Emmanuel was stripped to the waist in his room, while Sarah was
standing behind him, her fair hands fondling his back muscles continuously.
This is simply abominable! I’ve never been so intimate with this guy as his
wife! What gave this woman the nerve to do this?!

Emmanuel and Sarah promptly turned their heads toward the sudden sound.
“Mackenzie? You’re back so early today!” Emmanuel had surprise written all
over his face. Mackenzie had told him that he didn’t have to pick her up
work today. This led him to think that she was going to work late into the night
again, so he never thought she would return home as early as 6.00PM.

signs of feeling guilty, she even had a faint smile on her face.
“What are you doing?!” questioned Mackenzie icily.
Emmanuel hurriedly put on his shirt and walked over to her. “I’m hurt, so Sarah
was putting medicine on me!” he explained. Seeing the chilly expression on
Mackenzie’s face, he also feared that this icy wife of his would go ballistic.
However, Mackenzie wasn’t an ordinary woman. It was true that she was
fuming in her heart, but instead of flying into a rage, she immediately cared
about Emmanuel, asking, “How did you hurt yourself again?”
“I-” Emmanuel was just about to explain himself.
“Never mind, I’ll put medicine on you later.” Mackenzie’continued to be gentle,
with her husband. After that, however, she turned to stare coldly at Sarah.
“What are you doing in my house?”
“Mackenzie, I brought an expert here to help you two design the indoor
fountain!” explained Sarah frankly.
Mackenzie didn’t lose her temper, but she looked as icy as an ice sculpture
that could freeze people at any time. “It’s not necessary. You and your friend
may leave now!”
Sarah threw a glance at Emmanuel.
Emmanuel thought it was rather unkind to chase Sarah away like this. After
all, this sister–in–law was here to help, and she had done nothing wrong. That
being said, he mustn’t take the wrong stance. So, he said apologetically,
“Sarah, thank you for your kindness. Why don’t you leave with your friend for
now?”
Sarah nodded while looking slightly displeased. Nevertheless, she replied with
a smile, “Okay, I won’t be keeping you and Mackenzie from spending time
together, then!” However, instead of leaving right after saying so, she handed
the ointment in her hand to Mackenzie. She instructed, “Manuel’s back is quite
badly bruised, and he can’t reach it. Mackenzie, you’ve got to help him rub
the bruise with the ointment, or he might have trouble sleeping tonight.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMackenzie let out a snort without taking the ointment from her.
As a result, the atmosphere was somewhat awkward.
Emmanuel hurriedly came over and took the ointment. He said with a wry
smile, “I’ll do it myself. Sarah, why don’t you go back now?”
“Alright, Manuel. Take care of yourself, then. I gotta go!” Sarah showed no
signs of anger. She left nonetheless, taking her expert friend with her.
Mackenzie fixed Emmanuel with a glacial stare as though he had cheated on
her.
Emmanuel felt both depressed and innocent. It scares me when I see such a
look in her eyes!
Luckily, Mackenzie didn’t quarrel with him over this. She instructed coldly,
“From now on, don’t let Sarah into our house without my permission. Do you
understand?”
“Yeah, I understand.” Emmanuel couldn’t help but get curious. “But why? She’s
also your younger sister. Why do you and Ms. Beatrix loathe her so much? You
two seem very prejudiced against her!”
