Love At The Wrong Table

“What do you mean by ‘sort of? Your attitude is insincere!” Mackenzie was genuinely annoyed by this guy’s behavior, and on the brink of walking away.

“Mackenzie, I admit I messed up this time, so I’m taking you out for dinner. Please don’t be mad, okay? I’m worried you might skip meals again and end up with stomach issues!” Emmanuel reached for her hand quickly.

Mackenzie paused, turned away, and chuckled before regaining her composure.

Considering this guy’s genuine concern for her well-being, she decided to let it slide this time.

“Mackenzie, what do you say?” Emmanuel eagerly asked.

She gave him a stern look and replied, “Fine, let’s go.”

Relieved, Emmanuel nodded and went downstairs to get the car.

Their silent treatment ended within a day, and both husband and wife felt relieved. Neither of them wanted to drag out the silent treatment.

Especially Mackenzie, who was carrying this guy’s child. Continuing the silent treatment was just causing her unnecessary stress. Thankfully, this guy knew how to make amends, or else she’d be lost.

As the couple wrapped up their dinner at a restaurant, nearing nine o’clock in the evening, Mackenzie’s tension began to ease. She had been contemplating sharing some good news with her companion when a call from Miss Lexi interrupted her thoughts.

“What? Beatrix is missing? She hasn’t contacted me all day!” Mackenzie’s expression turned to concern.

Seeing Mackenzie’s worried look, Emmanuel dialed Beatrix’s number.

As expected, the phone was off.
