Love At The Wrong Table
Chapter 9
Chapter 9
Given Mackenzie’s fussiness, Emmanuel knew that
things would turn out bad whether she agreed to go
home with him or not.
“I’m sorry, but my schedule is full. I won’t have time this
entire week,” she answered.
Emmanuel nodded at her reply, which, weirdly enough,
made him both disappointed and relieved.
Well, as I thought, it won’t be easy to get her home to
meet my family.
“Hold on!”
Emmanuel saw a ray of hope when Mackenzie called
out just as he was about to leave the room.
Did she change her mind? Don’t tell me she’s found a
suitable time to go home with me.
To his dismay, he saw Mackenzie holding out a bank
card toward him when he turned back.
“What is this?” he asked with a frown, confounded.
He had no idea why Mackenzie was giving him money,
especially when he had not given Mackenzie the sixty
grand his mother earned with all her hard work
because he suspected their marriage might be a
scam.
What is going on?
“I don’t want that kind of cheap food at home
anymore. There’s a hundred thousand in this card, so
use it to buy whatever is needed for our home. I hope
you can find time to do some shopping for the house.
We do need a lot of things here. Just let me know if you
need more money.”
From her no-nonsense way of talking, one would easily
think Mackenzie was assigning a task to Emmanuel at
work.
Upset by how absurd the whole situation was,
Emmanuel pushed the card back, insisting, “I’m the
man of the house, and I have a job too. I don’t need
you to pay for anything I’m using.”
His response elicited a frown from Mackenzie.
What’s with this fake chivalry? We’re already married.
Did he really not agree to this because of my money
and body?
Having spoken his piece, Emmanuel turned to leave
without even mentioning the sixty grand his mother
intended to give to Mackenzie as her betrothal gift. He
figured it would be a joke to her.
The next day, Emmanuel went to work at the hospital
as usual.
