Chapter 914 She Hopes It’s Emmanuel
“Ah, right…” Emmanuel forced a slightly awkward smile. He felt nervous because, in this situation, he couldn’t help but have improper thoughts about Mackenzie, and she was his wife. It would be embarrassing if anyone found out.
Mackenzie just looked at him without saying a word.
“Well… I’m going to take a shower,” Emmanuel said, considering it was necessary. However, he suddenly realized he didn’t have a change of clothes, and all the items in the bathroom belonged to Mackenzie.
Back home, they had kept everything separate: towels, shower gel, loofahs, and even shampoo. Emmanuel knew that Mackenzie didn’t like others touching her belongings.
“What’s wrong?” Mackenzie asked as she noticed him hesitating.
Emmanuel scratched his head and replied, “Well, I think I’ll skip the shower. I don’t have anything here.”
Mackenzie said, “I’ll have someone bring you what you need. If you like it, you can use anything of mine.” Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
This was a complete departure from her usual behavior, as she seemed to no longer regard Emmanuel as an outsider. She felt that she could embrace and kiss other men, so why should she keep her husband at a distance? She felt this was unfair to Emmanuel.
Still, she sent a voice message to the household staff to send the items over.
“I should still wait for the items to arrive before heading into the shower,” Emmanuel insisted. One, it was out of respect toward Mackenzie, and two, he wasn’t used to using women’s things anyway.
Mackenzie furrowed her brows slightly and asked, “Are you uncomfortable with my belongings?” She had become more sensitive than before.
“Of course not!” Emmanuel quickly explained. “I was worried, you might get upset if I used your things without asking. I think you smell nice, so anything you’ve used smells nice to me too. I was just worried about getting your things dirty.”
“I don’t mind,” Mackenzie replied, pursing her lips.
Emmanuel could tell that something was bothering her and furrowed his brow. “Mackenzie, you seem a bit off today. Are you tired?”
“I told you, I’m fine,” Mackenzie replied with a hint of impatience and suddenly asked, “What did you do during your visit to Yeternia?”
In her heart, there was still a faint hope that the masked man she met in Yeternia was actually Emmanuel. She really wanted to hear him talk about what he had experienced there. But unfortunately for her, Emmanuel had prepared his response ahead of time. “I heard there was a company in Yeternia that specialized in DT6 extraction technology. So, I went there with a friend’s introduction to check it out.”
This explanation wasn’t a complete lie, as he did go to Yeternia to discuss the matter with Nathan, using information from Sage.
“What friend? Did you attend any banquets there?” Mackenzie continued to question.
“Just an old buddy. I was all over Yeternia running errands. I didn’t have time for banquets.” Emmanuel had to déceive Mackenzie due to the sensitive nature of his identity. He couldn’t reveal it under any circumstances.
“Oh…” Mackenzie looked disappointed, her eyes dimmed slightly. “I’m sorry, I promised to give you enough freedom. I shouldn’t have asked you so much.”
“It’s okay, you’re my wife. And I should be the one apologizing; I didn’t accomplish what I set out to do. Thankfully, you managed to secure the Chapman family’s cooperation,” Emmanuel said with a smile.
