Chapter 496

“Sarah? What brings you here?” replied Emmanuel with a smile out of

courtesy. Of course, he wouldn’t speculate about what the security guard

was thinking.

Sarah explained with a wink, “Manuel, didn’t you want to make a fountain on

the balcony at home to give Mackenzie a surprise? I haven’t heard any

updates from you since then, and I wondered if you’re too busy to make it.

That’s why I brought an expert here to help you with it. Unfortunately, both

you and Mackenzie aren’t home, so we’ve got no choice but to wait here!”

Emmanuel replied, “I see. Let me take you two upstairs, then!” He could hardly

reject this sister–in–law’s well–meaning intentions. Both Mackenzie and

Beatrix had warned that Sarah wasn’t a kind person, but he hadn’t found

anything wrong with her so far. He thought she was quite nice and thus saw

no reason to keep her at arm’s length.

Soon after that, the three of them arrived upstairs, and the expert started to

help with the fountain.

Emmanuel was discussing the construction plan with the expert when Sarah

suddenly came to his side. She asked in surprise, “Manuel, what’s wrong with

your face? It seems somewhat swollen.” She gently pressed the lower side of

his chin.

Emmanuel quickly stepped back in pain. These were the injuries he had

suffered while getting into a fight in the Lenoir residence today, but he didn’t

tell Sarah about it.

Sarah was smarter than he imagined, though. Noticing the dirt on his shirt,

she anxiously asked, “Manuel, don’t tell me you got into a fight with

somebody today? Mackenzie will get worried if she comes back and sees

you like this!”

Her words reminded Emmanuel. Even though these minor injuries were

nothing to him, he did fear that his wife would get worried. Mackenzie had

previously criticized him for getting into fights several times in a month. If she

Just then, Sarah suggested, “Manuel, do you have a first aid kit at home? Let
