Chapter 160

After listening to Ryder’s story about his marriage, Mackenzie broke into a

disdainful smirk.

It was clearly a clichéd story of an honest man marrying a woman pregnant

with another man’s child. She was just surprised that it happened to one of

her relatives.

“Men of the Lowe family are truly idiots!”

Her words indirectly insulted Emmanuel again, yet he didn’t utter a word of

protest.

The truth was that he wasn’t in a much better situation than Ryder. To a

certain extent, he might actually be worse off.

After all, he and Mackenzie had a blitz marriage after meeting each other

only once. The interaction they shared was lesser than that of Ryder and

Abellyn.

At the very least, Ryder and Abellyn were intimate before getting hitched. In

contrast to them, he had still not held Mackenzie’s hand.

With that in mind, Emmanuel burst into sudden laughter. “That’s right. I don’t

deny that we’re idiots. That said, I think I’m a lot luckier than Ryder is!”

“What’s that supposed to mean?”

When Mackenzie gave him an abrupt stare, Emmanuel explained with a

blissful smile, “You’re not only more beautiful than Abellyn, but your character

is also so much better than hers. When I first married you for the sake of

placating my mother, I admit I was taking a huge risk. But thank God we’re

relatively happy now, aren’t we?”

Mackenzie pouted on purpose. “Hmph, you’re the one who’s happy, not me!”

“Did I do anything to upset you, Ms. Quillen?” Emmanuel inquired

immediately.

“Isn’t it obvious? You’re still being attacked online. If the matter escalates, I’m

afraid I–as your wife–will be dragged into it sooner or later!”

“Ah! I–I’m so sorry. I’ll deal with it immediately,” Emmanuel apologized.

Back when he declared that he would face it alone, he neglected the fact

that he had a lawfully wedded wife. If the online bullying continued,

Mackenzie would inadvertently be embroiled in it.
