Love At The Wrong Table

Mackenzie knew before this that Emmanuel and Eve were very close. However, Alessandra had told her about Emmanuel’s retirement from military service. Combined with the fact that he was currently working as a gynecologist in Yeringham, she did not have the nerve to think too highly of him then.

Now, she finally had no choice but to be suspicious of Emmanuel and his true identity.

Could he be the true Northern Region Wolf, the legendary war god of the Northern Region?

“Mackenzie, what is it?”

When she abruptly paused halfway through her sentence and went silent, Emmanuel decided to take the initiative to explain. “As I’ve mentioned before, I happened to save Eve’s life by chance on the battlefield. As we had faced death together, she now treats me well. We can absolutely trust her!”

Mackenzie nodded and did not say anything as her thoughts continued to race.

She was a smart woman. If she were anyone else, she would have been infuriated and insisted on pulling the truth out of him.

Doing so would only lead to two outcomes, however.

If Emmanuel had not been the Northern Region Wolf while she insisted that he was, perhaps even pushing him to make a false confession, then she would have only created a rift between them.

The other outcome was that Emmanuel was indeed the Northern Region Wolf.

In that case, his refusal to come clean to her meant he genuinely had cause for doing so. Perhaps he was carrying out à secret mission that prevented him from revealing his identity. Forcing him to confess would only make things difficult for him!

Either way, it would destroy their relationship.

Thus, Mackenzie wisely chose to remain silent. She knew very well that silence was her best option. She also needed the time/ to calm down as her mind was whirling in chaos.
