Love at the Wrong Table by Emmanuel Lowe
Love at the Wrong Table Emmanuel Lowe Chapter 606

Chapter 606

Since childhood, Shane had never been a well-behaved person. He would

always make funny faces and engage in mischievous behavior to grab

everyone’s attention. However, what was unexpected was that he had

become shameless after all these years.

“Manny, why did your family suddenly decide to come back for the New Year

this year? It’s been years since your last visit, isn’t it?” he asked while driving.

Before Emmanuel could respond, he answered his question, “Did you get

married?”

Glancing at the rearview mirror, he confirmed that only Emmanuel and his

family had returned and shook his head. “No way! With your awkward speech

and unimpressive appearance, how could you possibly manage to replace a

wife?”

Emmanuel was left speechless while Roselynn burst into a chuckle. She found

that Shane’s lack of tact was nothing out of the ordinary. She also used to

think that Emmanuel’s awkward speech would not be able to attract a wife,

but then Mackenzie came into his life unexpectedly. If Shane found out about

it, would he not be infuriated?

“Hehe, he did get married. He came back to pay respects to our ancestors,”

Alessandra finally replied to Shane’s question.

However, he was taken aback and looked incredulous, exclaiming, “This is so

unfair! Aside from being slightly taller, better-looking, and having slightly

better martial arts skills than me, what does Manny have that surpasses me?

I don’t even have a girlfriend yet… I mean, too many girls like me, and I can’t

decide which one to choose. So, for now, I’ll stay single. How did Manny get

married before me, though?”

Emmanuel simply smiled and stayed silent. Roselynn listened to the banter of

this amusing guy throughout the journey, treating it as a live comedy show

on the first day of the New Year. Alessandra, on the other hand, felt delighted.

This compassionate woman had previously worried about Shane’s future, but

it seemed that he could take care of himself quite well.

Thanks to his help, they finally arrived at Hero’s Village a little after 8.00AM.

The road conditions outside had changed a lot, but the village remained

unchanged from ten years ago.

The town had a simple and rustic charm. Half of the house’s were

constructed with sturdy stone bricks, while the other half were built with

traditional mud bricks. The streets were surprisingly clean and

well-maintained, a stark contrast to the villages in Eastern Star Mountain.

Due to Hero’s Village’s strong emphasis on patriotism and defending its

homeland, it witnessed numerous residents serving in the military-and

bravely venturing into battle over the past century. As a tribute to their valor,

the village was adorned with stone statues, some of which had been cast in

bronze.

The majority of the villagers were humble and down-to-earth, still donning

buttoned cotton-padded jackets. Some farmers even wore headscarves;

many had tanned skin from toiling in the fields under the sun.

As car ownership was scarce in the village, Shane’s arrival in a vehicle

attracted attention. As the car came to a stop and Emmanuel’s family

stepped out, someone immediately exclaimed, “Holy sh*t, Emmanuel, you’ve

finally returned to the village for the New Year!”

Emmanuel looked at the person and was also slightly surprised. “Frederick, is

that you?”

The two had grown up together in the same village, so their relationship was

close. He had assumed that Frederick’s family, like theirs, had settled in the

city and would not return to the village for the New Year, especially

considering that he was still single!-

“Haha, l’only came back to the village this year for a blind date. They say

village women are simple and down-to-earth. I’m also tired of searching for

gold diggers outside! It’s exhausting…” Frederick said as he patted

Emmanuel’s shoulder.

Before Emmanuel could say anything, Shane immediately teased, “Frederick,

from how you’re talking, it sounds like you’re tired of those city girls and want

to return to the village to replace an honest person! But don’t assume that village

women have lower standards. There might be a slight gap between your

style and their ideal standards.”

Pfft. Roselynn was once again amused by Shane.

Frederick’s complexion instantly turned green, and he pointed his finger at

Shane, cursing angrily, “If it weren’t for the fact that I’m not as fat as you and

afraid I couldn’t take you down, I would’ve already thrown a punch at you!”

Amidst the boasting and banter, a growing crowd of villagers gathered

around.

“Oh, are they the Lowe family?”

“That woman looks like Alessandra!”

“Are the tall man and woman her children? Or did her son bring his wife

back?”

Some curious onlookers and gossipmongers started to gather around as if

there were newcomers in the village, eagerly engaging in discussions about

the situation.
