Emmanuel approached Mackenzie and apologized.
Now that the misunderstanding was resolved, the frustration that had been building within Mackenzie instantly dissipated. She responded, “You know, I actually believe you. If you had informed me earlier, I would have agreed. After all, Ashton has assisted us in the past!”
She truly did not want to restrain Emmanuel in his interactions with others. It did not align with her beliefs about love.
“Thank you, Mackenzie.” Emmanuel also smiled contentedly. He had always known that Mackenzie was not overly dependent, despite her occasional temper.
Mackenzie glared at him, as if to convey, “Why are you thanking me? This was always your right.”
“By the way, Mackenzie, have you been feeling unusually tired lately? If you are experiencing any symptoms, tell me. I can provide you with specific medication to boost your energy,” Emmanuel said warmly as he approached her.
Mackenzie was genuinely touched. This man finally knew. how to take care of her. She wanted to confide in him, but then a sudden thought crossed her mind and she said, “Let’s set that aside for now. I have a question for you.”
Emmanuel was taken aback and asked with a smile,
“What is it?”
“Were you previously a soldier in the Northern Region?”
Mackenzie cut to the chase. Her gaze was piercing, leaving no room for Emmanuel to deceive her.
She had refrained from pressing Emmanuel before, but she had always been uncertain. Now that she was carrying his child and they were in this together, what secrets could he possibly keep from her?
Emmanuel noticed her gaze and grew anxious once more!
“Didn’t I already answer this question?” Emmanuel’s smile seemed somewhat strained. “I did serve in the Northern Region army.”
“Were you part of the Wolf Warrior unit? Otherwise, how did you know that those individuals were not affiliated with the Wolf Warrior unit that night?” Mackenzie launched her attack. If Emmanuel was not truthful, she would not tell him about the pregnancy.
Emmanuel sighed ruefully. “Their demeanor did not match that of the Wolf Warrior unit. The Wolf Warrior unit is highly disciplined and would never compromise any information, let alone operate under the Wolf Warrior banner!”
He was subtly hinting at Mackenzie.
As a member of the Wolf Warrior unit, particularly a former captain, he could not divulge any Northern
Region secrets. It was his duty!
Mackenzie clenched her fist gently, bit her lower lip, and rose to her feet.
Bang!
She shut the door and instructed Emmanuel, “Stand up!”
Emmanuel complied, appearing bewildered and uncertain of her intentions.
In the next moment, Mackenzie lifted her head and initiated a kiss!
Emmanuel was even more perplexed. He moved to embrace his delicate wife, but Mackenzie suddenly pushed him away with a cold expression.
As astute as she was, she had pieced together the truth.
This man was, in fact, the individual from Yeternia with a wolf mask.
He was the Northern Region Wolf himself!
However, he had hidden this from her all along, and even now, he refused to tell her the truth! Why?
“Mackenzie, what’s the matter?” Emmanuel observed her trembling and approached her swiftly.
However, Mackenzie continued to push him away, preventing him from coming near.
She felt as though she had been fooled!
She had been troubled by the matter of Yeternia from the start, experiencing numerous lows because of it. She never imagined that the man was actually her husband!
She felt foolish!
It was the first time she had felt so defeated!
“Mackenzie, what’s wrong? Mackenzie-” This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.
“I’m fine. Just go!” Mackenzie cut him off.
Although Emmanuel was unsure of what was on her mind, he sensed that it had something to do with him.
Seeing Mackenzie resist him so strongly, he decided to give her some space for the time being.
As he was about to leave the room, he turned back and said, “Mackenzie, my mom will be coming to Onza to visit us tomorrow-”
“Yeah, I’m aware. She informed me already.”
Mackenzie nodded, her expression even grimmer than before.
Emmanuel let out a sigh and just said, “Try to get some rest. Take care of yourself!”
Mackenzie nodded before shutting the door coldly.
The following day, Mackenzie went to work as usual, but she seemed unusually quiet.
Upon arriving at the office, Lexi knocked on her door and entered, looking somewhat perplexed.
