Mistaken Match Marrying the Enigmatic CEO

Chapter 24

“Roselynn, what are you doing? It hurts!”

When Roselynn stepped out after changing, she was

shocked to discover that her brother had a band–aid

on his body and a bandage on his back. She couldn’t

help but impulsively reach out and give him a slap on

the shoulder.

Emmanuel was a living, breathing human being, and it

was only natural for him to cry out in anguish when he

was unexpectedly struck by sudden pain.

Alessandra had been engrossed in matters regarding

her daughter–in–law and paid no attention to her son.

Belatedly realizing he had been concealing his injuries,

she asked anxiously, “Manny, how did you get hurt?”

Not wanting his family to worry, Emmanuel lied, “Don’t

worry, Mom. I accidentally fell down, that’s all.”

“Fell down? This is a lie. You obviously got hurt. Did

someone hit you or throw something at you?”

Roselynn snapped. Her voice grew increasingly

agitated as she demanded, “Manny, be honest with

1. me. Did your wife beat you? Is this domestic violence?”

Emmanuel nearly coughed out blood in exasperation.
