Love At The Wrong Table

Chapter 6

Chapter 6

“I’ll tell you about it after talking it through with her,

Mom.”

Emmanuel decided to leave things be for now.

Since he couldn’t agree or refuse, he had no choice but

to take it one step at a time.

“All right, then,” Alessandra responded. “Well, how

about you move out and go live with her today? Girls

love it when guys are romantic. It’s your wedding night,

so you’d better not leave her on her own! Take good

care of her. Do you understand?”

Wedding night? Emmanuel scoffed internally.

If that hadn’t even crossed his mind, then Mackenzie

certainly wouldn’t have thought of it either.

The woman had never even thought about

consummating their marriage.

There’s just no way it’d ever happen!

Still, he nodded at his mother and sister. “I’ll be off,

then. Take care of yourselves. Call me whenever you

need me.”

That alone was enough to make Alessandra and

Roselynn tear up again.

Given how Emmanuel’s father had died young, and the

two women had watched Emmanuel grow up, seeing

the only man in the family leave home made their

hearts heavy.

“Don’t cry, Mom. How are you going to have grandkids

if Manny doesn’t stay with your daughter-in-law?”

Roselynn urged, even though she couldn’t stop crying

herself.

The women spent a long while helping Emmanuel

pack his valuables.

Alessandra shoved a bank card into his hands just as

he was about to leave.

“What are you doing, Mom?”

The man hastily gave it back, knowing that his mother

only had one card. It was baffling that she was

handing him her social security fund.

There was no way he could accept it.

“Take it,” Alessandra insisted. “Your wife agreed to

marry you without you giving her any betrothal gifts.

She even bought a place for you two so you could live

together, so don’t let her down. Give her everything she

deserves! There are about sixty thousand on this card.

Go buy your wife a ring and some jewelry. Do you hear

me?”

Upon hearing that, Emmanuel felt his nose burn.
