Mistaken Match Marrying the Enigmatic CEO

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.

“Good, then.”

Roselynn was in a great mood having confirmed their

visit. She couldn’t help but switch the conversation to

something else that was on her mind. “Manny, I

received an invitation to attend a high–society party in

Yeringham. I heard that many rich scions will be there!”

“Oh, I see. You want to see handsome guys there,

huh?”

Emmanuel knew Roselynn well. It could be said with

confidence that he was the person who knew her best.

Roselynn was a person who was driven to always strive

for perfection. She was quite the romantic, having

been entranced by the world of romantic dramas and

films since she was a teenager in high school.

In the beginning, she fell for Nick Jonas from The Jonas

Brothers. Later, she took an interest in Jamie Dornan,

famous for his role as Christian Grey.

Recently, she was infatuated with Alex Pettyfer.

Anyway, the men she loved were tall, rich, and

handsome. They must be nothing short of perfect.

However, perfect men didn’t exist in the world.

Thus, she was still single in her thirties. It wasn’t because she was anything less than appealing or desirable; it was because her ideal partner seemed

too perfect to exist in the real world.

Alessandra and Emmanuel both cautioned Roselynn

that the male characters she adored in television

shows weren’t actually real, and urged her to adjust

her expectations accordingly. Nonetheless, Roselynn

still enjoyed the opportunity to lay her eyes upon

attractive men at different events.

“Hey, this is a rare opportunity. I must attend the party.

Perhaps I’ll get to meet my own CEO there!” Roselynn

revealed her objective directly to her little brother.

She even threatened him menacingly, “If you’re free,

come as my plus one. Whether or not I get married

depends on your efforts!”

Emmanuel was speechless.

I can’t marry you. Why would I put in any effort?

The invitation Roselynn received entailed her to bring a

plus one. The party was happening tomorrow night. It

was a Saturday, so Emmanuel agreed to be her

companion for the night.

I’ll try my best. If Roselynn still remains single, it isn’t my

fault.

Emmanuel also felt that it was a great opportunity for

him to see the world. He wasn’t ignorant at all. Now

that he had married Mackenzie, a senior executive of a

company, he knew she frequently attended these

high–society events. He decided that attending these

events would not only help him understand her better

but also give them more common topics to talk about.

It has been widely suggested that in a marriage, the

couple would begin to influence each other in such a

way that they eventually become similar to one

another.

Emmanuel was prepared to make a change,

The following day, he paid his family a visit.

Even though he was only gone for a few days,

Alessandra behaved as if he had been gone for years.

She was relentless in her interrogation, primarily

concerning his marriage.

“Manny, your wife is going to pay us a visit early next

year. Should we invite your Uncle Benny’s family and

other relatives to welcome her?”

Alessandra wanted to hold a grand party to welcome

her daughter–in–law home.

Cold sweat beaded on Emmanuel’s forehead as he

replied hastily, “No, Mom! Don’t invite anyone. Let’s just

keep it simple. We can just enjoy a meal together.”

Alessandra furrowed her brows as she contemplated

the situation. “I don’t think that’s a good idea,” she said

hesitantly. “She’s a senior executive, right? That means

she’s used to better things and enjoys eating

delicacies. I’m afraid she won’t appreciate it if I prepare

something simple.”

Emmanuel flashed a bitter smile. It looks like Mom is

pretty accommodating to her daughter–in–law, but

that doesn’t always mean that this situation will last. If

she is the only one consistently making all the

concessions and sacrifices, it may create tension and Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

resentment that can result in issues down the line.

“Mom, you don’t have to be so careful. We can just

show her our real selves!” Emmanuel insisted.

Alessandra was still unconvinced. She was about to

speak her mind when Emmanuel suddenly shrieked in
