Chapter 40
“I got it. Why are you so long–winded when you’re a
man?” admonished Mackenzie icily.
After she ended her sentence, she felt it took quite a
long time to calm herself down. I must admit, life after
marriage vastly differs from a single life. It seems like
it’ll take me some time to get used to living with
another person.
The next day was Sunday, yet she still left the house at
half past six in the morning.
For a workaholic, there were basically no rest days or
holidays, only work days.
Sitting in her office, she used her phone to check the
surveillance footage instead of dealing with her
matters hurriedly as she always did.
The edges of her lips curved upward when she thought
about how Emmanuel didn’t know she could monitor
everything that happened in the house. I want to see
what he’s doing when I’m not around.
Unbeknownst to her, Beatrix just happened to have
arrived outside her office, secretly watching her. This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
“D*mn it! I knew that man was unreliable!” Suddenly,
Mackenzie slapped her hand on the table because she
saw him washing her pants by hand. He told me he
would let the washing machine do the laundry! What
right does he have to touch my pants?
Hmph! That’s so personal! Wait a minute…
The next moment, she instantly blushed because she
realized why he was doing that. Apparently, he was
removing her bodily secretion from the pants, which
was very difficult for a washing machine to do.
“I’m going to kill that man!” She exploded with rage
and embarrassment.
Outside the office, Beatrix thoroughly enjoyed
watching her sister’s reaction because she rarely got a
glimpse of that side of her older sibling.
Suddenly, someone patted her shoulder, frightening
her and spurring her to turn around.
“Why are you hiding outside Ms. Quillen’s office, Ms.
Beatrix?” Lexi couldn’t help but ask.
Hastily, she argued, “I–I’m not! I came here to learn
from her!”
At that moment, she was working as a management
trainee while studying.
When she wasn’t busy with her studies or had a
semester break, she would help her sister out at the
company and learn how to run a business from her.
“Here to learn? Why do I feel like you’re peeping at
her?” While Lexi was a subordinate, she had a good
relationship with the sisters.
Hence, when no one was around, she would joke with
Beatrix.
“Shh! Don’t talk nonsense!” Immediately, she whispered
into her ear. “Actually, Grandpa gave me a secret
mission. He asked me to watch over my sister and her
husband as well as help them conceive as soon as
possible.”
“What?” Lexi was shocked but skeptical. “Are you telling
the truth?” Can you really persuade them to conceive?
Also, since it’s a secret mission, why are you telling me
this?
“Of course, but the situation isn’t looking great right
now. Based on Mackenzie’s current state, I think she
may kick her husband out at any moment!”
speculated Beatrix based on what she saw earlier.
Knitting her eyebrow, Lexi thought, I interacted with
Emmanuel a few times before, and I don’t think he’s as
simple as he appears to be. That much was evident
when he helped me handle the scammer, deal with Mr.
Webber, and handily grab Keegan’s fist last night. If he
weren’t capable in some way, Old Mr. Quillen wouldn’t
have taken a liking to him.
Then, she said, “I disagree with you, Ms. Beatrix. I think
that man will keep staying by her side.”
Her words stunned Beatrix. Does she actually think that
man can stand someone like Mackenzie?
