Chapter 470
Mackenzie’s voice softened as she asked, “Are you angry?”
She was aware of her wrongdoings of acting impulsively without considering
Emmanuel’s feelings.
“I do feel a bit uncomfortable. Sarah and I are simply friends. It wouldn’t be
good if things got too tense between us, right?” Emmanuel calmly reasoned.
A small sigh escaped Mackenzie’s lips. She had a better understanding of
Sarah than Emmanuel, which was the reason behind her decision.
However, she couldn’t bring herself to say that Sarah wasn’t a good person,
especially since her sister had yet to reveal her true nature.
Mackenzie feared that Emmanuel might misinterpret her intentions.
“Anyway, if you’ve deleted it, then consider it gone. I respect your decision,” he
added suddenly.
Mackenzie’s lips curved into a faint smile, but it was swiftly replaced by her
composed expression.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe duo proceeded to have dinner together.
After Emmanuel finished cleaning up the dishes, Mackenzie had already
retreated to her room to resume her work.
As he reached for his phone, he noticed a new friend request notification.
It was from Sarah once again.
After a brief moment of contemplation, he decided to accept her request.
Just as he was about to explain the accidental deletion incident to Sarah, she
preemptively messaged him. ‘Emmanuel, was it my sister who removed me
from Facebook?‘
Taken aback, Emmanuel realized that Sarah was sharper than he had
anticipated–she had actually figured out the truth. With no other option, he
swiftly abandoned the explanation he had prepared.
‘Don’t blame Mackenzie. There’s been a misunderstanding between us since
we were young!‘ Sqrah continued to message, showing a great
understanding.
‘What kind of misunderstanding happened between you two?‘ Emmanuel
quickly inquired.
‘It’s a long story. Let’s save it for when we have more time. We need to be
careful not to chat for too long, or Mackenzie might find out again! Sarah not
only harbored no anger, but she also defended Mackenzie. ‘Mackenzie has
been under immense pressure lately. Please be more considerate toward
her. Sweet dreams!‘
Emmanuel responded with a sleeping emoji, refraining from any further text.
He recalled an anecdote he had come across before, where ‘sweet dreams‘
carried a deeper significance, conveying a wish for the person to have
pleasant dreams about someone they loved or to have thoughts of that
person as they drifted off to sleep.
The following morning, he prepared to drive his wife to work as usual.
As Mackenzie entered the car, she unexpectedly spoke up. “I won’t be going
to the office this morning. Can you accompany me somewhere?”
“Oh? Where are we going?” Emmanuel was taken aback, unsure why
Mackenzie was bringing this up now. Given her cautious nature, she would

“Tobias expressed interest in investing in my company. I want to find out if
he’s genuine or not,” she explained.
“Tobias? As in, the second son of the Lenoir family?” Emmanuel looked at
Mackenzie in astonishment.
“Yeah. Do you know him too?” Mackenzie asked in return.
“I just met him yesterday. He’s quite different from Quintus, and there’s
something off about him. You should be cautious around him,” Emmanuel
warned honestly. Based on his observations, Tobias appeared deceitful and
driven by lust, even more so than Quintus or Hubert.
The incident where Mackenzie had almost been taken advantage of and
nearly coerced into excessive drinking during her business meeting with
Hubert flashed vividly in Emmanuel’s mind.
Noticing his anxious expression, Mackenzie inexplicably smiled. “That’s
precisely why I asked you to accompany me. Having my husband by my side
is a way to safeguard against other men, isn’t it?”
Emmanuel suddenly felt a surge of sweetness in his heart and jokingly
remarked, “Well, I suddenly feel a great deal of pressure now!”
