Emmanuel paid no attention to Hannah’s opinion of him. He knew deep down that when one person disliked another, every breath they took felt wrong.
“No, I refuse!”
A cold voice shattered the brief silence in the hall.
“Mackenzie, haven’t we already signed this type of agreement before? What difference does it make if we sign it again or add another clause?”
Emmanuel looked at Mackenzie, his gaze filled with confusion because he didn’t expect her to refuse!
“Stop talking!”
Mackenzie was furious.
She had torn up that marriage contract a long time ago!
Now, she felt that signing such an agreement burdened their marriage!
“You should tear up that agreement in your hands too! We got married, and we don’t need any special constraints, let alone additional agreements!”
Mackenzie said coldly to Emmanuel.
Signing this kind of agreement meant a lack of trust between them. If that was the case, then what was the point of getting married?
If they really had to choose to sign this kind of agreement, she would rather divorce Emmanuel right now!
Seeing her sister’s attitude, Beatrix was surprised. When did her sister become so protective of this marriage?
She remembered that back then, it was due to the strong pressure from their grandfather that she had no choice but to agree to the marriage.
Mackenzie was acting high and mighty before their marriage, but now that they were married, she was all for her husband.
“So, Mackenzie, you don’t want to listen to Aunt’s words and insist on going against the flow?”
Hannah exclaimed.
She was very disappointed in Mackenzie’s behavior!

Had love always been a woman’s weakness?
She couldn’t believe that even her niece, whom she had high hopes for and someone who had misandry tendencies, ended up falling for a man.
‘Alright, let’s stop arguing for now. Let’s wait for Dad to come out and make a decision. He is the head of the family after all!”

Samantha, who stood in the middle, found it difficult to please both sides, so she quickly called for a stop.
Mackenzie also realized at this moment that her grandfather hadn’t come out yet. Didn’t the servants already inform him?
Just then, Alfred walked past Felicity with his hands in his pockets.
“Alfred, where is Grandfather?”
Beatrix quickly asked.
“Old Mr. Quillen is taking a bath. Please wait a moment!”
Alfred squinted and said. This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
“A bath? Who is taking care of him?”
Mackenzie asked instinctively.
Alfred used to take care of her grandfather’s daily life, but now Alfred was also in the hall, so who was helping her grandfather bathe?
“Marilyn,” Alfred said slowly.
“What?!” The people in the living room were almost unanimously surprised.
Meanwhile, in Terence’s exclusive suite bathroom, Marilyn was dressed as a maid. As she clutched onto a cane, she walked toward Terence with a youthful and enthusiastic smile.
“Old Mr. Quillen, let me help you undress!” She raised her hands and was about to unbutton Terence’s. clothes.
“Your legs are not injured, so why don’t you rest for a few days?” Terence politely refused her.
But Marilyn refused to listen and looked at him with glistening eyes. “Old Mr. Quillen, do you me?”

Her expression was genuine!
Terence had observed countless people and naturally knew that she was expressing her emotions. He couldn’t help but sigh. “You’re just a young girl, why would you choose to serve an old man like me? If you need money, I can give you a considerable sum, and you can make your way in the big city.”
After returning to the old town, Terence’s desire to return to his roots grew stronger.
He knew his time was limited, so he no longer had any desire for money and valued emotions even more!
Marilyn was the granddaughter of the old lady. Red had saved Emmanuel, and Marilyn had even saved his life, so Terence’s feelings for her couldn’t be shallow!
“Old Mr. Quillen, you’re underestimating me again!” There was a hint of grievance in Marilyn’s eyes. “I’ve said it before that you are now my only family. I only want to serve you for the rest of my life. If you drive me away, I wouldn’t want to live anymore!”
Her sincere expression made Terence sigh once again.
Not only could he see Marilyn’s determination, but he also recognized that she was adamant.
Most importantly, he saw a glimpse of his wife from decades ago in her.
