Chapter 566
“Yeah, it’s me.” Rhea’s voice was extremely gentle, even more so than before,
but her words were not proactive.
Coincidentally, Emmanuel wasn’t a smooth talker either, so he hesitated for a
while before asking, “Miss Gomez, what can I do for you?”
“Well, um… My dad asked me to ask you when you’ll be free for New Year.” Her
-tone softened as she spoke.
Although he could not see her in person, he still ‘vividly remembered the
assistant he had recently worked with. She must be blushing again. “Ah, I
probably won’t have any free time these days, and I have to visit relatives
during the New Year. It’s hard to say! Anyway, I’ll try to make time.” He spoke
truthfully, and while he promised Juan a visit, he most likely couldn’t find any
free time recently.
“Oh, I see.” Rhea sounded disappointed but didn’t hang up the phone or
continue the conversation.
On the other hand, Emmanuel thought this woman exhibited reserved

he had to break out of his routine when talking to her, so he boldly initiated
the conversation by saying, “Yeah, I’m actually wondering how to coax my
wife. It seems like she’s angry with me!”
“Huh? Dr. Lowe, you’re married?” She was somewhat taken aback when she
learned about this, but then she probably realized that she had overreacted
and quickly laughed it off. “Why is she angry?”
“Hmmm… I don’t know either.” While saying this, he forced a smile and added,
“Anyway, that’s just her temperament; she can be pretty icy. Still, I don’t know
what to do now.”
“Well, maybe I can help you!” Rhea’s usually reserved demeanor vanished,
and her voice brightened with excitement.
“You could help me?” Emmanuel was perplexed by her offer. If this was any
other woman, I would believe it, but does this blushing woman have any
relationship experience?
“Of course! I–I’ve been in love before, and as a woman, I understand women
better than you guys do!” When she said this, she suddenly felt a surge of
pride. “With my help, I can help you coax your wife!”
“Haha, well, thank you in advance!” He scratched his head and laughed as he
said this because he hadn’t planned on receiving this unexpected guidance.
Immediately after that, Rhea gave Emmanuel a plethora of suggestions,
most of which he found interesting and useful, though he ultimately rejected
those that involved spending money. Finally, he settled on a proposal and
prepared to implement it the following day.
The next morning, Mackenzie went to work as usual. She was able to forget
about her husband when she was busy at work, but whenever she had a
moment to herself, she couldn’t help but sneak a glance at her phone.
“Hmph, that guy didn’t even make a call or send a message!” There was a
slight increase in her anger with each glance at her phone.
On the other hand, in Sarah’s presence, she pretended to trust Emmanuel to
prevent the other party from succeeding in their scheme. After all, she was
well aware that Sarah intended to separate them!
Nonetheless, she wasn’t emotionally evolved as Beatrix had imagined!

concerned if she witnessed her husband embracing a naked woman?
In the meantime, Mackenzie had been waiting for Emmanuel to explain but
didn’t know how to initiate the conversation. She was supposed to be an icy
and aloof female CEO, so incidents like these were especially frustrating and
awkward to bring up. Would she be able to confront her husband about his
infidelity like those typical wives did? In addition, the woman involved was
Sarah, who was also her sister, so the entire situation was particularly
frustrating and chaotic for her.
“Ms. Quillen, are you okay? Not feeling well?”
At this moment, Mackenzie, staring blankly at her phone, was startled by
Lexi’s voice. Then, her eyebrows slightly raised, she looked up and grumbled,
“Why didn’t you knock before coming in?”
“I did knock, but you didn’t hear it!” In addition to being her subordinate and
best friend, Lexi also had the innate ability to modulate the tone of her voice.

“Oh, is that so?” Mackenzie was no longer angry with her and simply sighed.
“Ms. Quillen, are you thinking about Emmanuel?” Lexi asked cautiously.
