Mistaken Match: Marrying the Enigmatic CEO by Ruby Fennimore

Chapter 179
Mackenzie glanced at the time and let out a sigh.
She had no choice but to call Wally to pick her up at the residential area.
Wally was surprised to receive the call. He had been Mackenzie’s driver for so
many years, but she had never once made him work at such a late hour.
It finally dawned on him that she wanted to pick her husband up when he
drove Mackenzie to Ryder’s house and watched as she entered the place.
“You can head back now, Wally.”
“Yes, Ms. Quillen.”
Wally quickly drove away, and at the same time, he couldn’t help but exclaim
in astonishment at how much Mackenzie had changed in the past month.
I have to admit, marriage is really something!
Mackenzie could vaguely smell the metallic smell of blood the moment she
walked into Ryder’s house. She didn’t ask what had happened after seeing
the man’s injury and could already guess that he must be having troubles
with Abellyn.
I knew Abellyn wasn’t a good person. Though, it’s still surprising that that
woman would dare to stab her husband.
“Why are you here, Mackenzie?”
Emmanuel instantly got to his feet when he saw Mackenzie. He had been

drinking with Ryder, so he stumbled his way to her and fell into her arms.
“Ugh! You reek of alcohol!”
Even though Mackenzie sounded disgusted, she didn’t try to push the man
away. After all, it would only make it seem like she had no respect for him.
Thus, she had no choice but to quietly endure it.
“I’m sorry. Ryder was in a bad mood today, so I’m drinking with him to help
him ease the tension.”

Emmanuel was trying to get permission from her.
“No, no! I’m fine now. Manny, hurry up and go home with your wife.”
Ryder quickly stood up as well. He was afraid that he would affect his cousin’s
relationship with his wife and didn’t want to become a problem for them.
Mackenzie had no idea what had happened to Ryder before she came and
was originally planning to bring Emmanuel home.
However, after seeing Ryder’s circumstances, she thought it was better for
Emmanuel to stay, even if it was just for Tommy’s sake. She was worried
Ryder wouldn’t be able to handle Abellyn if she came home.
“Enjoy your drinks. I’ll head home first.”
With that said, she turned to leave.
“Mackenzie!”

Emmanuel immediately grabbed her wrist and asked anxiously, “Are you
mad?”
Mackenzie was amused by his reaction. I didn’t know he was so afraid of
seeing me mad.
Although she looked cold on the outside, she was not someone so
narrow–minded. Mackenzie turned around and said, “What? Am I someone
who has such a bad temper?”
“No, Ms. Quillen-”
Emmanuel had blurted it out in the heat of the moment. He only realized that
she hadn’t been mad earlier when he saw her actual angry face right then.
Fortunately, he reacted quickly and began complimenting her, “You’re the
most understanding wife. I must be blessed to have been able to get
married to you.”
“Hmph! You’re only realizing that now?” Mackenzie accepted his
compliments. Then, turning around, she continued coldly, “Don’t drink too
much, and take good care of Tommy.”
“Okay!”
Only then did Emmanuel finally confirm that Mackenzie wasn’t angry at all.
Ryder burst into tears when she finally left, feeling envious and jealous of his
cousin.

“We both got married, but how is it that you married an angel while I married
a monster? You’re really something, Manny!”
Emmanuel had no idea how to respond when he heard that.
Me? It’s all because of a blitz marriage! I was even worried that I’d gotten
married to a devil at first. I never expected Mackenzie to be so perfect! I can
only say that I’m just extremely lucky.
The next morning, Mackenzie told Lexi to cancel her first appointment, then
she personally drove her Maserati to pick her husband up.
Even though it was early in the morning, Abellyn still arrived earlier than she
did. She arrived home in a hurry with her parents, her sister, and her cousins
behind her.
