Love at the Wrong Table by Emmanuel Lowe
Chapter 265

Chapter 265

Since Abellyn’s presence in Ryder’s life was as visible as thin air, it did not

matter to him if he got a divorce. He wanted nothing more than to provide a

mother for Tommy, even if that meant getting remarried.

However, Emmanuel agreed with that train of thought. If she could turn over

a new leaf and admit her faults, it would be good news if he could forgive her

for his family’s sake. However, divorce would be the best course of action if

she insists on betraying him.

During the phone call, Mackenzie walked past him. While they no longer gave

each other the cold shoulder, they did not engage in much conversation

because there was nothing to discuss. When he ended the call, she said,

“Don’t wait until tomorrow. Tell him to just get a divorce already.”

“Why?” Emmanuel asked. He knew that there must be a reason behind her

declaration.

In response, she bit her lips and hesitated. The mere thought of spotting

Abellyn and Zane together was so revolting that Mackenzie had to leave the

living room.

At this moment, a frown formed on his face as he realized a major factor

must be behind her reaction. Since she does not explain the situation, I

cannot immediately call Ryder to tell him to file for divorce.

On Saturday morning, Quintus arrived at Yociam Residence in his Land Rover.

This time, he was not waiting for Mackenzie but instead for Emmanuel.

However, his wait was similar to the paradox of happiness in that the more

one pursued it, the more elusive it became.

When he used to wait for her, she would never show up. However, when he

stopped waiting for her, she drove toward him in her Bentley and rolled down

her window to talk to him. “You can stop waiting now.”

“Ah, you’re mistaken. You can’t say no today because I’m not here for you!”

Quintus grinned and added, “Just wait. Once I defeat him, I’ll continue my

pursuit of you.”

“Fool.” Mackenzie rolled her eyes. After a few moments of muttering to herself

under her breath, she told him the truth. “Emmanuel’s sister is getting married

today. He had returned home to help before dawn, so you won’t be able to

talk to him today.” After saying this, she rolled up her window.

“What?” He exploded in anger and scolded, “That brat did not keep his word!

He promised me we would duel today. Does he think he can leave me

hanging just because of a wedding? Where is his home? I’m going to him!”

“Fool.” After repeating the insult once more, she told Wally to continue driving.

Quintus was fortunate that Mackenzie witnessed the events of that day, as

Emmanuel did not consent to the duel. However, he had only assumed

Emmanuel agreed to it. “Dang it! Darn him!” Then, he stomped on the ground

and grumbled, “Oh, why do Claudette and Mackenzie like that dishonorable

man? Is there no more demand for an honest man like me?”

Achoo! Emmanuel, who had been busy helping with the wedding, suddenly

sneezed. Due to his hectic schedule, he had completely forgotten about

Quintus. Emmanuel was so dense that just dealing with the marriage with

Mackenzie was a headache for him. Moreover, he did not need a third party

to butt in to worsen the situation.

“What is it, Manny? Did you catch a cold?” Roselynn suddenly appeared from

her room upon hearing the sneeze.

His eyes lit up the moment he landed his eyes on her. “You look beautiful

today, Roselynn!”

According to Yeringham tradition, both sides of the family had to host

wedding dinners. Today was the bride’s turn to host the wedding dinner, and

after that, his sister would head over to Jaxton’s home for the wedding dinner

hosted by the groom.

On this particular day, she wore a tight–fitting red dress that showed off her

long legs and slim waist. She looked like the perfect personification of

feminine beauty.

Emmanuel suddenly realized Jaxton had lucked out in convincing Roselynn to

marry him. He could only hope that Jaxton would continue to be good to her

after the wedding.
