Mistaken Match: Marrying the Enigmatic CEO by Ruby Fennimore

Chapter 23

He was aware that his aunt and his cousin’s wife had a

tendency to clash with one another. It seemed that

every time they encountered one another, a heated

argument would ensue, and on rare occasions, it

would escalate to a physical altercation, leaving his

poor cousin trapped in the middle of it all.

His cousin could still side with his mother and would

sometimes reprimand his wife, but Emmanuel knew

that he would meet his doom tomorrow if he had the

guts to yell at Mackenzie.

If she goes too far or speaks to Mom disrespectfully, I

may be forced to confront her. If this leads to a

disagreement, Mom may find out about our

arrangement and be distressed by it.

Even though Mackenzie had agreed to come home

with him, Emmanuel was still frustrated and anxious. It

felt like bringing a bomb that might explode anytime

home.

“Manny, what’s wrong? Did she refuse to visit us?”

Roselynn snapped.

I don’t care how capable his wife is. Now that she has

become a part of the Lowe family, she must conform

to the expectations laid out for her and cannot act

however she pleases. If she’s already acting up when

we expect her to visit, how will Manny and Mom endure

her antics in the days ahead?

“Of course not, Roselynn. Don’t get it wrong. She’s just

too busy,” Emmanuel quickly explained.

No matter how furious he was, Mackenzie was still his

wife.
