Mistaken Match Marrying the Enigmatic CEO novel Chapter 83

Chapter 83

Emmanuel’s and Mackenzie’s families sat at one table, and Benny’s and

Ryder’s sat at the other.

The atmosphere during lunch was quite harmonious.

Mackenzie was not used to such weird dishes eaten by the lower-cla*s

people. How am I supposed to eat these?

She also did not expect Alessandra to take such good care of her. The

latter was enthusiastically serving her food.

Not daring to reject Alessandra’s kind gesture, Mackenzie smiled before

putting down her fork and letting Alessandra pile more food onto her

plate.

Unfortunately, Terence was sitting beside her. He faked a cough and

glanced at her when he noticed she had stopped eating.

Mackenzie let out a heavy sigh. She had no choice but to push the plate of

food Alessandra had given her toward Emmanuel.

“Um…”

Alessandra’s face reddened in embarra*sment as awkwardness filled the

air.

Emmanuel also felt awkward. He was about to explain when Mackenzie

said, “I’m on a diet. I can’t eat too much.”

Emmanuel knew she was respecting Alessandra by saying that.

“Is that so? But you’re so skinny. What if you end up malnourished?”

Alessandra asked worriedly.

The corners of Mackenzie’s lips twitched in annoyance. My own mother

isn’t worried about me. Who are you to try to control my food intake?

“Mom, don’t you know? Times have changed, and so have beauty

standards. Nowadays, the skinnier you are, the prettier you are. It’s

understandable that you’re oblivious about it since there’s a huge gap

between our generations.” Roselynn hurried to explain to her mother and

placed ladles beside each dish. She knew Mackenzie must’ve been

disgusted and annoyed by how Alessandra had served her food.

“Haha, I’m sorry for being so uncivilized. I didn’t know about that.”

Alessandra was quick to apologize to Mackenzie.

“It’s all right,” Mackenzie uttered. Although this mother-in-law of mine likes

to nag, she has an excellent temper. Lucky for me, I don’t have to live with

her. I can still put up with her if it’s just having a meal occasionally.

“I’m done. I have something else to do, so I’ll take my leave now.”

With that, Mackenzie put down her fork. She preferred to leave instead of

staying if that were the topic they would discuss during lunch.

Emmanuel also knew she was at her limit. If they did not leave soon, the

lunch might end on a terrible note.

He said, “Mom, Mackenzie and I have other things to attend to, so I’ll go

back with her first!”

Terence had wanted to stop Mackenzie from leaving, but when he heard

she and Emmanuel had something to do, he let them go.

Otherwise, he would have done everything he could to ensure Mackenzie

stayed at the Lowe residence for the rest of the day.

The Lowes were surprised when Mackenzie suddenly got up and left the

dining room.

Emmanuel quickly followed behind her so he could become her driver.

Along the way, neither of them spoke a word. It was then Emmanuel
