Mistaken Match Marrying the Enigmatic CEO Novel (Emmanuel Lowe) novel Chapter 496

Chapter 496

“Sarah? What brings you here?” replied Emmanuel with a smile out of

courtesy. Of course, he wouldn’t speculate about what the security guard

was thinking.

Sarah explained with a wink, “Manuel, didn’t you want to make a fountain on

the balcony at home to give Mackenzie a surprise? I haven’t heard any

updates from you since then, and I wondered if you’re too busy to make it.

That’s why I brought an expert here to help you with it. Unfortunately, both

you and Mackenzie aren’t home, so we’ve got no choice but to wait here!”

Emmanuel replied, “I see. Let me take you two upstairs, then!” He could hardly

reject this sister–in–law’s well–meaning intentions. Both Mackenzie and

Beatrix had warned that Sarah wasn’t a kind person, but he hadn’t found

somebody today? Mackenzie will get worried if she comes back and sees

you like this!”

Her words reminded Emmanuel. Even though these minor injuries were

nothing to him, he did fear that his wife would get worried. Mackenzie had

previously criticized him for getting into fights several times in a month. If she

catches me fighting again, she’ll certainly give me another talking–to!

Just then, Sarah suggested, “Manuel, do you have a first aid kit at home? Let

me help put medicine on you. Mackenzie probably has a meeting, so she

won’t be back early this evening, right?”

“I do have a first aid kit at home, but it’s okay. I’ll do it myself.” Emmanuel
