Mistaken Match: Marrying the Enigmatic CEO by Ruby Fennimore

Chapter 355
It was nearly 6.00PM when Emmanuel finally walked out of the operating
room.

When Frederick spotted him hurriedly changing out of his scrubs, he walked
over and teased, “Old boy, a girl named Ms. Quillen called. She said that if you
still want your wife, you must go to Room 1314, Serenity Resort, at 6.00PM.”
“Serenity Resort?” Emmanuel froze when he heard the name of the resort.
Isn’t that the place I’m going to later? I thought Ms. Lenoir asked me out, so
who is this Ms. Quillen? Then, he asked, “Are you sure it’s a young girl?”
“That’s right! She must be your wife’s younger sister. So, go and reconcile with
your wife. If you’re even a man, then stop dawdling!” While saying this,
Frederick patted his shoulder. Mackenzie is such a perfect wife for Emmanuel
because she is beautiful, wealthy, and always willing to pitch in and help with
his family. In addition, she is the type of wife every man dreams about
having. If they break up over petty issues, he will likely regret it for the rest of
his life.

Emmanuel nodded, emotions were actually warring within him. Should I
cancel my dinner with Ms. Lenoir tonight, given that we only made plans for it

last night? However, I never cancel plans with others. Even so, I want to find
Mackenzie, and it has been a few days since I left home. I thought I could get
back to my old, quiet life as a single man, but I couldn’t stop thinking about
her. Sometimes, even in the shower, I will suddenly be reminded of the
woman I’ve been living with for the past two months. Despite having never
been in a relationship, I finally understand what it means to be in love now
that I’ve been through a divorce and have had to face the prospect of
moving on without the person I once loved. The dinner with Ms. Lenoir is only
a token of my appreciation, so I suppose I can reschedule it. With that in
mind, he exited the hospital to find a Rolls–Royce that had been circling in the
area for quite some time pulled up in front of him.
Emmanuel!” Claudette cheerfully grinned at him from the back seat as she
rolled down the window. I will no longer address him as Dr. Lowe, and as Aunt
Laura has pointed out, this will drive a wedge between us. Henceforth, I am a
homewrecker about to become his soon–to–be legal wife!
Ms. Lenoir!” He was astonished when he saw her because he had not
anticipated her waiting for him when he got off work.
Hop on.” While saying this, her eyebrows arched alluringly, making it difficult.
for any man to refuse her.
In contrast, Emmanuel observed through the open window that Claudette

was dressed impeccably and resembled the finest collector Barbie doll. “You
look amazing today, Ms. Lenoir.” As he complimented her, he couldn’t help but
feel under duress.
“Yup! It’s my birthday!” Yet, she did not beat around the bush when she said
this.
On the other hand, he was taken aback by her response and awkwardly
replied, “I’m sorry. I didn’t know. I’ll go get you a present right away.”
“Just get in the car!” She did not want him to leave, though, and with her head
bowed and cheeks flushed, she uttered in a barely audible voice, “Your
presence is the best birthday present for me.”
Huh? What did you say?” At this instant, Emmanuel felt like he had misheard
Claudette.
“I–I was just saying I don’t need a present. A free meal from you is the best
present I could ask for.” Then, she jumped at the chance to make her words
less cliche.
Even so, her words made him uneasy, but since she was the birthday girl, he
got into the car out of respect.
In the meantime, he was still trying to figure out who Ms. Quillen was, and he
certainly didn’t expect it to be Beatrix Quillen. He also didn’t know anyone
from Mackenzie’s family, having only fleeting interactions with Terence and

Felicity. Consequently, if others discovered that he had not met everyone in
his wife’s family despite being married to her for two months, he would
become a laughingstock.
