Mistaken Match: Marrying the Enigmatic CEO by Ruby Fennimore

Chapter 726
Emmanuel spoke with a touch of concern.
He was strong and possessed the endurance to withstand much, but his wife
was as delicate and precious as a flower. She tirelessly managed her
responsibilities throughout the day and even into the night. He genuinely
worried about her well-being!
“Alright!” Despite her disdain for the environment, Mackenzie figured that a
warm shower was an acceptable compromise.
Once she agreed, Emmanuel promptly made his way into the bathroom.
After inspecting the area and making sure there were no hidden cameras, he
felt at ease and reassured her, “You can go ahead, close the door and enjoy
your shower!”
Mackenzie chuckled. “What is it? Are you worried that someone else might
catch a glimpse of me in the buff?”
Emmanuel’s face slightly reddened. “Of course! Which man would be okay
with others seeing his wife like that?”
He would rather face being stabbed twice than that scenario.
Mackenzie chuckled again. She hadn’t anticipated his traditional stance.
Then, she put on a mockingly stern expression and said, “This bathroom glass
door is semi-transparent. I’m warning you, no peeking!”

“Come on, do I strike you as that kind of guy?”
Emmanuel’s voice held a hint of excitement. Recognizing his tone, he quickly
countered, “Ms. Quillen! Don’t forget that you are my wife! What’s wrong with
a husband stealing a glance?”
Mackenzie glared at him fiercely. “You dare? I will gouge your eyes out!”
Their current stances on this matter were a far cry from three months ago.
Emmanuel clearly recalled the time he had barged into the bathroom and
inadvertently caught a glimpse of Mackenzie. Despite his intrusion, she
remained frosty and unaffected.
On the other hand, Mackenzie noticed a transformation in Emmanuel. The
last time he caught sight of her showering, he blushed and quickly retreated
on his own.
Has he grown bolder now?
How could he confidently utter such words?
It seems like I’ll need to stay vigilant around him.
Perhaps I should test his nerve.
The days ahead are so lengthy. I might hold my guard momentarily, but can I
keep it up for a lifetime?
Mackenzie entered the bathroom and threw each of her coats onto the bed
one by one.

Emmanuel’s back was turned to the bathroom door, yet at the sound of each
garment hitting the bed, even though his thoughts were entirely innocent, he
couldn’t help but feel a tickling sensation.
Imagination had its ways. Seeing their spouse’s clothes being tossed out one
by one naturally led their minds to envision their spouse in the bathroom.
Rustle!
Mackenzie even flung out her intimate garments.
Out of the corner of his eye, Emmanuel glimpsed at the clothes strewn on the
bed and involuntarily gulped while rubbing his hands together.
Why?
Why would a gynecologist like me entertain such thoughts that are out of
place?
It’s not rational!
Oh, wait, I’m no longer a gynecologist.
So, having this reaction should be considered normal, right?
When one had nothing else to do, their focus intensified, and these desires
could become particularly pronounced
Fortunately, a phone ring abruptly distracted Emmanuel’s attention.
He shifted his gaze to the bedside and saw Mackenzie’s phone ringing.
Seeing that it was Beatrix calling, Emmanuel answered the call for his wife,

who was currently undressing for her shower.
“Hello, Mackenzie, I’ve brought the medical supplies. What’s your room
number?”
Beatrix sounded a tad excited.
Of course, she was filled with excitement.
Her sister had instructed Lexi to deliver medical supplies to this eerie place in
the middle of the night. What could she possibly have in mind?
Beatrix thought that Mackenzie and Emmanuel had planned to return home
together tonight. Could it be that Mackenzie has a sudden whim and wants
to choose a new setting to kindle some fiery romance? The idea seems quite
plausible.
Driven by this notion, Beatrix eagerly offered to take Lexi’s place for the
delivery mission.
Not only that, being her sister’s enthusiastic supporter, she even thoughtfully
packed a box of condoms for Mackenzie.
