No, I can’t open the door! He could be up to something! Mackenzie was
hesitant until Emmanuel showed her the jewelry–golden jade phoenix.
instantly got her enchanted. When she opened the door and got her hands
on that jewelry, she asked in surprise, “You bought this?”
“Yeah.” Emmanuel nodded firmly.
“Like hell I’m going to buy your story!” Her response left him dumbfounded as
he didn’t think she’d talk to him like that.
“It’s true, Ms. Quillen. I did buy it for you!”
“You paid for it?”
“Yeah, I paid with your grandpa’s card. I already transferred three thousand
back to him after that, though. I must say it’s not cheap!” Emmanuel said
earnestly.
“Are you dumb or what?!” Mackenzie directly called him a fool.
Nevertheless, the man refused to admit it and questioned her, “What’s wrong,
Ms. Quillen? Why are you being so mean? This thing is worth twenty
thousand! I’m sure I didn’t get conned!”
“Oh, come on. You’re such a damn fool! You’re the most foolish person there
is in this world!” Mackenzie was rendered speechless. She could tell that the
item Emmanuel just showed her was a delicate masterpiece made by
Thomas, in which case it should have cost way more than three thousand.
Therefore, she couldn’t believe Emmanuel had bought that item with just
three thousand. Come on, does he think I’m a fool or something? That thing
should cost at least 30 million! However, she could tell the man must have
been fooled by her grandfather, judging from how serious he looked while
saying all that nonsense.
“Fine, fine! I’m dumb! Happy now?” Emmanuel directly admitted it and took
the pendant away from her. Just as Mackenzie thought the man had gotten
mad, he added seriously, “Ms. Quillen, I’d like to present you with this pendant
as a gesture of gratitude for the help you’ve given all this while. Now, I’d like to
put this on you for you because I believe it will look amazing on you! It’s a
perfect match for your character.”
Mackenzie shivered slightly upon hearing his declaration. Is he stupid? Why
would anyone wear such a thing during their sleep? Nonetheless, she felt
touched by the man’s truthful words and decided to go along with him in the
end.
“See? It looks gorgeous on you! This thing is worth three thousand, so please
accept it, Ms. Quillen.”
As soon as Emmanuel put the pendant on her, he sincerely thought she
looked great with it. The phoenix on the pendant matches my wife’s
gorgeous appearance perfectly. Nevertheless, Mackenzie did not give him a
verbal response and simply rolled her eyes at him before returning to her
room to sleep.
Emmanuel couldn’t help scratching his head in puzzlement as he wondered,
Why is it so hard to make her happy? I spent a fortune to get her this
pendant, but what was her reaction supposed to mean? Does she like it or
not? Oh, well. Since she didn’t return it to me, I’m going to assume she likes it
very much! As an experienced doctor, he was skilled at treating women, yet
he barely understood their nature. In any case, I’ve completed my mission!
So, it’s time for a good night’s sleep now.
The next day was a Saturday, but Emmanuel already had plans with his
friends for a game of laser tag. Thus, he woke up early in the morning, only to
find Mackenzie already sitting on the couch.
“Um, you’re early, Ms. Quillen,” he greeted his wife, setting his eyes on her fair
and long neck as he noticed his present for her hanging around it. At the
sight of the pendant, he couldn’t help but feel happy inside.
“Come on, make me breakfast! I have an event t

“Come on, make me breakfast! I have an event to attend!” Mackenzie
instructed him. There was a popular tea–tasting event that went on every
Saturday morning, and many rich people would show up for that event, as it
was rather popular among upper–class socialites.
Mackenzie was hardly an enthusiast of such an event, but she felt like
attending it that day for some reason.
“Oh, alright!” Emmanuel didn’t know about her plan, but since his wife wanted
him to make her breakfast, he did as he was told without dwelling too much
on it.
