Chapter 746
He’s not romantic at all, Mackenzie thought.
Emmanuel felt that something was wrong because he finally noticed that
she was mad at him.
Well, it looks like I have to ask Rhea tomorrow about how to appease wifey
again.
Mackenzie remained silent for a moment before piping up, “Two days ago,
after we got home, my mother went back to the Quillen family. They were
robbed.”
She finally calmed down.
He furrowed his brows slightly. “Perhaps it was done under your mother’s
orders?”
“It was her.” She sighed slightly.
In the past, she had no one to confide in when she had something on her
mind. Now that she had someone to talk to, she felt a bit more relieved.
“Mackenzie, since you told me about this, I guess there’s nothing wrong with
telling you about this,” Emmanuel spoke frankly. “Is Felicity also interested in
the two things owned by the Quillen family? If her goal is the same as
Magnus’, then it is highly likely that they reached some kind of conspiracy
during her visit to the Lenoir family over the New Year.”
She didn’t say anything, silently agreeing with his speculation.
“Felicity is still your mother and a member of the Quillen family. How the two
things are divided is the Quillen family’s business. If your mother ends up
owning them, I can accept it from my standpoint. But I’m afraid that she will
be used by someone, and then the Quillen family’s treasures will fall into the
hands of outsiders.”
She felt even more relieved when he said exactly what she was thinking. It
felt like she had gained another confidant.
“So, what do you think I should do?” This was the first time Mackenzie
proactively asked Emmanuel. Her beautiful eyes were fixed on his side profile.
“Find an opportunity to have a good talk with your mother. We’re a family, and
there’s nothing that cannot be solved.”
His suggestion comforted her.
In the past, she had been giving him advice as an outsider, but now the roles
were reversed as she became the one in a dilemma.
She was the head of the Quillen family and Felicity’s daughter. Hence, it was
her responsibility to solve the problem.
Mackenzie smiled lightly. “I didn’t expect a fool like you to be quite smart
sometimes.”
Emmanuel smiled bitterly. He used to be the Wolf Warrior, hence his
analytical skills.
My dear wife, you’re underestimating me...
On the other side, Alessandra, who stayed at Ryder’s place, tucked herself in
bed in the guest room after the father and son went to bed.
She got up again soon to call Jaxton.
“Hi, Mom. Why are you calling at this hour?” He was dubious.
Firstly, it was indeed very late now. He was dog-tired due to work recently
and had already gone to bed. However, he still wanted to establish a
connection with the Quillen family, and Roselynn was the key to it! Despite
the anger, he had to maintain a good attitude.
“Jaxton, I’m sorry to disturb you at this late hour.” She cut to the chase.
“Tomorrow is Saturday. If you’re free, why don’t we go to the amusement
park? I’ll make sure that Roselynn will go too.”
4/5
He almost cursed upon hearing the suggestion of going to the amusement
park. That kind of place was not for a CEO like him.
When he heard the last sentence, he grinned almost immediately.
Before this, he wanted to oppress Roselynn only for personal desires. Now
that she was ignoring him, he felt so uncomfortable.
Thus, he was excited at the idea of hanging out with her tomorrow. “Great! I’ll
pick her up tomorrow morning.”
“Okay, I’ll convince her. I will make sure that she goes.” Alessandra smiled and
hung up the phone.
Although he sometimes appeared arrogant to her, his character wasn’t too
bad. She could also see that he genuinely liked her daughter.
Since they were already married, they would definitely have to compromise
with each other. As her parent, she sincerely wished her children’s marriage
to last long.
