Mistaken Match: Marrying the Enigmatic CEO
While the mother and son were exchanging whispers, Mackenzie stood by the car, pretending not to hear them..
She was actually quite conflicted. She was well aware of her grandfather’s and Alessandra’s wishes. If giving birth didn’t involve the conventional process of male-female union, the long gestation period, and the pain of childbirth, as if it were just casting a spell and producing a little figure, she would have produced a dozen or so by now.
Alas, a troublesome wish, yet it had to be done. What a headache! After ending his hushed conversation with Alessandra, Emmanuel hurriedly walked over to Mackenzie.
“Finished talking?” Mackenzie asked proactively. “Yes!” Emmanuel nodded, unsure if Mackenzie had heard their whispered conversation.
“Let’s go home then!”
“Okay!” He quickly opened the car door for his wife, then took the front passenger seat himself. Alessandra still clung to them, watching their car leave and muttering for them to come home more often.
Through the rearview mirror, Mackenzie watched Alessandra’s gradually receding figure until it disappeared completely. Then, she spoke up,
“Emmanuel, how about we find other relatives to accompany your mother?”
“Huh?” Emmanuel’s body trembled, and he hurriedly asked, “Mackenzie, are you suggesting…”
He thought Mackenzie had made up her mind about having a baby. But unexpectedly, Mackenzie asked, “How are Ryder and Tia doing? If possible, let your cousin’s family live with your mother.
Then she give Emmanuel the Terence Group’s Black Card, Emmanuel understood that this was for the convenience of people like his wife, who was of significant stature. It saved time compared to using regular cards and making payments.
Of course, it was also a symbol of status. People of stature wouldn’t go through the trouble of scanning QR codes for payments like regular folks, especially in high-end establishments.
However, Emmanuel wasn’t entirely sure about Mackenzie’s intention in giving him the card. So, he asked, “Are you planning to lend it to Ryder?”
“Yes.” Mackenzie nodded slightly. “I know you don’t want to leave your mother alone at home, but I haven’t thought about living with her temporarily. This seems to be the only solution.”
Emmanuel nodded. Alessandra hadn’t asked to live with him and Mackenzie, so he wouldn’t impose such a request on Mackenzie either.
He also didn’t want to leave Mackenzie alone at home and go to his mother’s.
Moreover, his mother probably wouldn’t want that either. So, this might be a suitable solution for now.
Moreover, if Ryder was pursuing Tia, he could really use this card to help.
Early the next morning, after Emmanuel dropped Mackenzie off at work, he went to find Ryder.
