Love At The Wrong Table

Chapter 77

Seeing everyone gather around Mackenzie while ignoring him, Emmanuel

could not help but let out a bitter smile.

As he entered the room and set down the things he was carrying,

someone suddenly called out to him from behind, “Manny!”

“Yes, Ryder?” Although Emmanuel was considered naïve in Mackenzie’s

eyes, he was intelligent and perceptive enough to sense that his cousin

seemed troubled from the frown on his face.

“Manny, do you have any extra money to spare?” Ryder, being

straightforward as always, did not beat around the bush.

“What’s wrong? Are you experiencing financial difficulty?” Despite

Emmanuel’s own financial difficulties, primarily owed to Mackenzie, he was

willing to assist his cousin if asked for a loan.

With a long-standing good relationship since childhood, Emmanuel

understood that his cousin would not make such a request unless he was

in dire need of financial assistance.
