Chapter 736
Little did she expect that she would come to like a man and find herself
pushing her boundaries to embrace this change.
Alfred, standing by the dining table, also smiled as he glanced at Terence.
He was the one who understood Terence the best and was well aware of his
entire plan. Yet, surprisingly, Emmanuel refused his offer. He wondered how
Terence would react.
“Haha... Well said, young man!”
Terence was not angry at all; he even gave way to Emmanuel. “In any case,
you can still pick a room. After you’ve chosen, whether you want to live in the
Quillen residence or not, it’s your decision.”
The women in the Quillen family were just disdainful at first, but now they
were all jealous.

They never thought Terence would be so biased toward men, but now it was
clear!
But what could they do?
The Quillen family was full of women. Men were rare and therefore precious.
“Thank you, Grandpa. I’ll pick the house when I decide to move in.”
Emmanuel might be considered a fool in Mackenzie’s eyes, but he wasn’t that
naive. How could he not read the expressions on the faces of the Quillen
family women?
If he chose to pick a house without considering their feelings, he would
probably disgust them.
If he were to insist on choosing now, it might only fuel the Quillen family
women’s antipathy toward him.
He wouldn’t do that!
Even if he had a grand scheme in mind, aiming to leverage his wife’s
assistance to bring down Chanaea’s Chairman of the Chamber of
Commerce, he wouldn’t rush things now.
“Haha, it’s up to you! Come on, let’s eat up!”
Terence didn’t pressure Emmanuel. Anyway, he was in a good mood and
everything could wait until Mackenzie showed signs of pregnancy.
By then, if Mackenzie was pregnant, and he asked her to move back to the
Quillen residence, would Emmanuel refuse?
Hehe, wisdom came with age!
He believed that Emmanuel could never outsmart him.
The rest of the meal was slightly more harmonious. They didn’t talk much.
Mackenzie didn’t say a word from beginning to end, but she was somewhat
satisfied with Emmanuel’s performance today. At least he didn’t argue with
her family.
However, she feared that there would be many more trials for him in the
future.
She hoped he could withstand those trials.
After the celebration banquet, since Emmanuel didn’t want to stay in the
Quillen residence, Mackenzie went back to Yociam Residence with him.
Just as the two of them were about to depart, another Rolls-Royce entered
the Quillen residence in the late hours.
Emmanuel and Mackenzie were both familiar with luxury cars.
“That’s a car from the Lenoir family!”
Emmanuel didn’t drive away immediately but looked at his wife. “Mackenzie,
shall we go back and take a look?”
They didn’t know who was in the Lenoir family’s car.
Mackenzie thought for a moment. “No need. They probably didn’t come here
for us. Let’s head back. I want to rest well tonight.”
“Alright.”
Emmanuel knew his wife was tired, so he needed to get her home to rest as
soon as possible.
As if on purpose, the driver of the Rolls-Royce got out of the car and opened
the rear door only after they left.
A well-dressed woman in a long black coat stepped out. She glanced back in
the direction that Emmanuel and Mackenzie had left.
It was Felicity!
Subsequently, she adjusted her coat and was about to lower her head to
enter the Quillen residence’s main house. However, she suddenly felt an
unfriendly gaze upon her.
“Felicity, why are you back?”
Samantha, Hannah, and several other women were about to leave the
Quillen residence when they encountered Felicity.
Felicity looked up at Samantha, her eyes flashing with a hint of resentment.
Then, she coldly replied, her expression devoid of emotion, “Do I have to
report why I’m here to you? Who do you think you are?”
After saying that, she tried to walk past Samantha.
However, Samantha reached out and stopped her.
