Love At The Wrong Table

Mackenzie stood up from her seat and walked to the window, overlooking the

view. Her mind was weighed down by profound thoughts.

A few days ago, Terence told her that Emmanuel was different. He wasn’t

someone she could just throw away if she didn’t like him anymore. Yet, she

couldn’t understand that. Throughout her life, she had thrown away countless

things she liked, some of which were even important. However, with her

carefree personality, once she threw something away, she rarely regretted it.

So, he believed that Emmanuel was no exception.

That’s right. After some time, when no one around me mentions him

anymore, I will naturally forget about him. Even though her mood was quite

heavy, as if something was pressing on her heart, making her uncomfortable.

She felt the pain sometimes, but she believed that Emmanuel would

eventually become an insignificant passerby in her life.

“Whatever. It’s that man who is to blame. How could he choose to save

Claudette in that situation?” she muttered to herself. She was a very

strong–willed woman and never liked the feeling of losing. It was especially

so for her first relationship, so losing to Claudette made her infuriated. He

was my husband! Every time she thought about this, she was determined to

get a divorce. Otherwise, she would be embarrassed if this matter spread.

up Tommy. However, she only picked him up when she remembered, and

sometimes she didn’t come to pick him up even after a whole afternoon.

On that afternoon, Tommy was waiting pitifully at the entrance of the

kindergarten while the teacher beside him checked her watch continuously,

feeling impatient.

“I’ve been a teacher here for so many years, and I’ve never seen parents who

don’t pick up their child. Is he really her biological son?” She couldn’t help but

complain.

When Tommy saw the teacher getting angry, he didn’t dare speak, but his

expression became even more pitiful.

“Hi, Miss. I’m here to pick up Tommy.” At this moment, a magnetic voice

suddenly sounded.

“Finally! What’s going on these days? Your wife comes to pick Tommy up later

and later every day!” The teacher didn’t know what had happened to Ryder,

and hearing a man’s voice, she thought it was him and took the opportunity

to vent her frustration.

Yet, she felt something was off all of a sudden and raised her head to take a

look. Wow, he’s so hot; much hotter than Tommy’s father!

She was also a woman in her 20s, so when she saw a handsome man, her

tone immediately softened. “I’m sorry. I thought you were Tommy’s father.”

“It’s okay. I should have come earlier.” Emmanuel’s lips curled up slightly,

revealing a charming smile. “Thank you for staying after school for so long to

take care of Tommy.”

“Uncle Manny!” Tommy quickly rushed over, excitedly hugging Emmanuel’s

leg. Luckily, it’s not Mom who picks me up. She always treats me so coldly and

scolds me all the time. I don’t want to be with her.

“Hehe, it’s my responsibility as a teacher, but you’d better come earlier

tomorrow.” The young teacher looked at him and smiled. Of course, she

wanted him to come and pick up Tommy every day. It would be great if

Tommy’s uncle is still single. I do lack a tall and hot boyfriend.

“Okay, see you.”
