Chapter 858 Emmanuel’s Assurance

70%

Emmanuel understood Nathan’s temperament well. Opting for a direct conversation and offering him some benefits appeared to be the most effective approach.

“What? You’re leaving Yeringham for a few days?”

After returning home that evening, Mackenzie was genuinely surprised upon hearing Emmanuel’s words.

Within four days, Terence Group urgently needed a collaborative partner for extraction processing; otherwise, they would incur substantial breach-of-contract penalties, putting them at risk of bankruptcy. And yet, Emmanuel wanted to leave at this crucial moment?

“Yeah, Mackenzie. You’ve got to trust me. I’ll sort out this situation for you!”

Emmanuel couldn’t divulge too much. His identity had to remain undisclosed to her.

There were two compelling reasons for this.

Firstly, missions at or above the S-level in the Northern Territory had to be kept confidential. If leaked, the person responsible had to personally eliminate the informant.

Secondly, he was reluctant to explicitly involve Mackenzie in missions in the Northern Territory to minimize the risks she might face.

“Emmanuel, whatever method you’ve got to help me, you really don’t have to do this!”

Mackenzie said earnestly, “I can handle this situation!”

She had grown accustomed to him being by her side, from driving her to and from work to cooking meals and chatting with her…

She vividly remembered the restlessness she felt when he wasn’t around, nearly losing sleep over it. Therefore, she genuinely didn’t want him to leave her.

Upon seeing her expression, Emmanuel walked up to her with a serious look and gently placed his hand on her shoulder.

Over time, he had come to perceive this gesture as entirely natural.

“Mackenzie, listen to me.”

As soon as Emmanuel spoke, his slightly magnetic voice captivated her.

“I know you’re smart and capable. You’re an outstanding and remarkable woman. But as a husband, I should do my best to ease my wife’s burden, cherish her, and protect her. It’s my responsibility and my right!”

Unable to tolerate his indecisiveness, Mackenzie took matters into her own hands and pressed his head down.

The moment their lips touched, Emmanuel was caught off guard as if a hundred thousand volts of electricity had surged through him. His eyes widened instantly.

Both of them had wide-open eyes, and there was no hint of a romantic atmosphere.

After two seconds, Mackenzie pushed him away coldly.

Turning away, she realized her heart was pounding. Am I losing my mind? How could I have done such a foolish thing? What if he misunderstands my intentions and decides to take advantage of me? I won’t have any valid reason to refuse him then!
