Love At The Wrong Table

By the end of dinner, Terence had had quite a bit to drink and, in a tipsy state, invited Emmanuel to stay the night at the Quillen residence.

“Emmanuel, we’ve had such a great time today. You and Mackenzie don’t need to go back to your little home tonight, right? We have plenty of empty rooms here!”

Naturally, Sophie and Hannah were the most uncomfortable about the invitation. Of course, the other Quillen women shared their sentiments. They held a similar view: Emmanuel was acceptable as Mackenzie’s personal bodyguard, but as her husband, he couldn’t provide any support to her in the business world.

In other words, he wasn’t worthy!

Felicity, on the other hand, had somewhat changed her attitude. She had seen through the Quillen family’s distrust of outsiders. If Emmanuel stayed at the Quillen residence, she would no longer be the only outsider there, and she could build a relationship with him to strengthen her ties with Mackenzie.

“Is it inconvenient, perhaps?” Emmanuel didn’t want to directly refuse Terence’s kindness, so he left the decision to Mackenzie. “Besides, Mackenzie has to return to the company tomorrow. It might be more convenient to stay in Yociam-”

Before he could finish his sentence, Mackenzie calmly said, “It’s alright. We can stay over tonight.”
