Emmanuel’s words had a compelling force to them, but Hannah, after a moment of hesitation, just sneered, “Understand? Why should I understand? Why should I try to understand you? Have you ever tried to understand us?”

Emmanuel found himself at a loss to answer. It wasn’t that he hadn’t tried to understand Hannah and her family; he knew they needed a strong and stable Quillen family. Thus, they hoped Mackenzie’s husband would be a business tycoon who could provide protection and support. Clearly, he did not meet their expectations.

“Ms. Hannah, if there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave,” he said, keeping his responses brief. He didn’t want to address Hannah’s questions, nor did he want to stay here any longer, as he knew these discussions would yield no results. He was anxious to go home and check on his mother’s health.

In any case, he wouldn’t leave Mackenzie because of a few words from Hannah. He and Mackenzie had gone through so much together, and they had come a long way. He would never give up on their relationship so easily.

“Hold on,” Hannah called after him. If Emmanuel left now, she would have wasted her time. She was a big business owner in the beauty industry, and her time was valuable. She had rescheduled several important clients just to have this conversation with Emmanuel, and she couldn’t let it end so abruptly.

“Do you have something else to discuss, Ms. Hannah?” Emmanuel remained calm, not treating her as an enemy.
