Chapter 323
After returning to Yociam Residence, Emmanuel began packing his
belongings.
Mackenzie wasn’t home, but he tidied up her things as well and made sure
that the house was in the same condition as when he arrived before
preparing to leave.
He left just as quietly as he came, as if he had dreamed of a marriage here,
and woke up to return to his previous life. The only problem was how to tell
his mother about this.
Bam, bam! The door was violently rapped all of a sudden.
“It’s already so late in the evening. Whom could it be?” he muttered to himself,
knowing for sure that it wouldn’t be Mackenzie. The cold–hearted woman
wouldn’t rap a door, nor would it be the residential security, for they knew
there was a doorbell. There was no reason for them to knock so explosively.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtUpon opening the door, he discovered a visibly furious Terence standing
outside.
“Grandpa!”

“I’m still your grandpa, eh? What are you doing now, then?” Emmanuel’s
behavior infuriated Terence. He couldn’t believe the young man was actually
going to leave his granddaughter!
“I’m leaving,” Emmanuel said almost monotonously, rubbing his nose.
“Mackenzie has already asked for a divorce, and I agreed.”
“Leave? Who the hell said you can leave?” Terence thwacked the young
man’s head with his walking stick.
It sure hurt.
Emmanuel reflexively held his head in pain and backed up, looking at the
unreasonable elder like a misbehaved child.
“You agreed to the divorce just because she demanded it? Are you even a
man?”
It was that line again, and Terence appeared even more stirred up than the
last time.
Emmanuel felt quite aggrieved. Of course, he was a man. His gender was
clearly stated on his ID. It couldn’t be fake, could it? However, he didn’t dare
confront Terence.
Firstly, Terence was his elder. Secondly, the old man exuded an aura of
superiority–even Mackenzie had to listen to him. How could an ordinary
person resist such authority?
“But Grandpa, I can’t possibly stubbornly cling to her when she has even sent
the lawyer to discuss the divorce with me, can I?” Emmanuel still couldn’t help
defending himself emotionally.
“Isn’t that how guys usually get a girl? Has there ever been a guy who didn’t
need to shamelessly chase and beg a girl? Do you not like Mackenzie? Is she
not pretty enough for you?” Terence peppered, rendering Emmanuel
speechless again.
Of course, he liked Mackenzie, and it was even love at first sight. He already
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthought she was ethereal, extraordinary, and different from everyone else on
the first day of their blind date when they sat at the wrong table and at the
first glimpse of that beautiful encounter.
“In that case, why are you giving her up so easily?”
How could Terence, who had experienced so much in life, not see through the
two youngsters? They both liked each other but were foolish idiots with poor
communication skills, especially that granddaughter of his! They were
stubborn with their words but had contradictory feelings.
It was precisely so that he was driven mad by the two. He knew he had to
continue playing the matchmaker for the troublesome couple, or the
relationship would be over if he let them develop it freely only to sever it!
“What can I do now, Grandpa?” Emmanuel asked agitatedly. “Mackenzie
believes that I care more about Claudette, but that’s not true! I’ve tried
explaining to her!”
“It’ll still be salvageable as long as you don’t give up. Leave it to me!” Terence
had come for that very statement, and he felt much more reassured after
listening to Emmanuel.
Mackenzie, you little brat! Time for me to fix your bratty temperament!
Meanwhile, Lexi was working away in the office when someone suddenly
barged in.
