“Mackenzie has a really strange temper, Mom. I just don’t understand her!”
Cornered by Alessandra’s pressure, Emmanuel had no choice but to turn
around and speak.
“W–What?” She was also in a state of exasperation, not knowing whether to
cry or laugh. Immediately, she circled back to him, assuming a parental
posture. “Manny, women’s thoughts are more delicate and complex than
men’s. It’s normal for women to throw some tantrums. You’re a grown man.
Can’t you accommodate her a bit?”
“Mom, I-” He wanted to say that he had been accommodating her all along.
However, his personality prevented him from saying anything. He was so
frustrated that he even took out a cigarette and wanted to smoke it.
Yet, Alessandra snatched the cigarette from him and reprimanded, “You
don’t usually smoke, so why are you smoking now? I’m telling you now. If you
don’t bring Mackenzie back, I’ll… I’ll be angry! Really angry!” Growing
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtincreasingly desperate, her tone of speech indicated her state of mind. She
had always showered her son with affection, never before uttering such
words.
Naturally, Emmanuel understood his mother’s feelings, but he was more
worried about her health. So, he quickly supported her shoulder and
comforted her, “Calm down, Mom. I understand everything you’re saying.” In
his mind, however, he thought, Even if I understand, Mackenzie probably won’t
see me again. I don’t have the chance to accommodate her anymore, even
if I want to.
“This won’t do! I can’t just sit here and do nothing. I’ll talk to Old Mr. Quillen and
see if he has any good solutions.” Alessandra knew that her son’s efforts were
futile, so it was better to go and talk to Terence.
When Emmanuel saw that she had a plan, he became less worried.
Regardless of what she said to Terence, after she finished the call, he told her
that he would bring Tommy to stay with them for a few days, and she
agreed. Since he didn’t ask, she didn’t tell him what she had talked about with
Terence either.
On the other hand, in the Lenoir Residence, Claudette paced back and forth
in her room, holding her phone. She wanted to contact Emmanuel, but she
couldn’t muster the courage, as she was afraid of being accused of breaking
up someone else’s marriage and being a shameless mistress. But why can’t I
contact him? I heard that he has already divorced Mackenzie.
“Gosh, this is killing me!” She sighed and put her phone down for now.
In the next moment, the door of the room was pushed open by a seductive
woman.
Startled, Claudette stared and said, “Aunt Laura, can you have some
manners? Remember to knock when entering a room. And why are you
dressed like this? I thought it was some prostitute who entered the wrong
room.”
Both mother and daughter were goddess–like figures outside, and everyone
thought they were elegant. However, if men from outside were to see how
the two were behaving at home, their eyeballs would probably pop out in

Laura–General Lenoir’s wife–always wore sleepwear that was more
revealing than underwear, parading around the house. What Claudette said
was the truth. Even the women working at a massage parlor wouldn’t dress
as provocatively as Laura.
“Hehe.” Instead of being angry, Laura was proud of it.
Then, she walked into the room and directly pointed out what was on
Claudette’s mind. “So, still hesitating whether to pursue your Dr. Lowe? Do you
expect not to be criticized for being a mistress?”
Instantly, Claudette became agitated and said, “Hey, can you use better
words?” In her mind, she added, Although that’s the truth.
“Didn’t I tell you? Becoming a legal wife from a mistress is a skill, and it’s
something to be proud of. Now is your best opportunity. What are you
hesitating about?” Laura came to encourage her. If she hesitates at this
critical moment, it will erase all her previous efforts.
Seeing Claudette remain silent, she continued, “Emmanuel is not an ordinary
person. If you can have him, you will feel that you have great taste in men in
the future.”
