apter 924 The Hours Before the Rendezvous
On Saturday morning, Rhea was busy in the kitchen.
“Rhea, what are you doing?” Juan walked into the kitchen and asked his daughter.
“Dad, I’m making a lunchbox!”
“Why would you be making a lunchbox?” Juan furrowed his brows. “You’re going on a blind date at Luxoria Hotel
today. Do you really need to cook your own food?”
Rhea didn’t reply immediately. Instead, she quickly closed the container, placed it in her purse, and then
approached her father with a sweet smile.
“Dad, you often praise my cooking skills, right? I’m worried that words alone won’t be enough to convince him. So,
I’ve prepared this lunchbox for him to taste. What do you think?”
Rhea patted the container confidently, secretly pleased with her clever solution. She thought that her father had

“Very nice, Rhea. What a sensible girl you are!” Juan laughed. He had no idea about the inner thoughts of the young
lady and was quite pleased with how cooperative his daughter was this time.
Rhea suddenly felt a bit guilty toward her father, but she had no other choice. She really didn’t want to go on a
blind date or get married. So, she apologized in her heart, Sorry, Dad!
On the other side, seeing that it was almost time, Emmanuel also prepared to leave.
Because Terence Group was currently in the process of making a comeback, Mackenzie was busy working from
home on Saturday.
Emmanuel had already prepared lunch and walked up to her, saying, “Mackenzie, I’ve put the lunch in the
microwave. Remember to eat on time, okay?”
Mackenzie elegantly raised her head, casually brushing her bangs aside. She smiled faintly, creating the most
beautiful living picture.
“Got it. Where are you going?”
“Dr. Gomez said there’s a female patient with severe abdominal pain who needs my assistance. I’m going to check
it out.”
“A female patient with abdominal pain?” Mackenzie raised an eyebrow slightly. It sounded exactly like her aunt,
Hannah.
Just the day before, Samantha had told her about Hannah’s condition and mentioned that Juan couldn’t cure her
and they needed to seek help. It turned out that her husband was the one Juan had reached out to.
Mackenzie found it a bit amusing, going through all this trouble when her aunt could’ve just asked Emmanuel
directly for help.
“Alright, go ahead! Good luck!” Mackenzie casually said.
The two words “good luck” coming from her carried a lot of encouragement. Perhaps that was the charm of a
goddess?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEmmanuel nodded with a smile, turned around, and prepared to leave.
Just then, the phone rang again, and it was the same unfamiliar number from the day before. Since it wasn’t
Emmanuel who answered the call the day before, he had no recollection of the number. Nevertheless, he answered
1.
“Hello, who is this?”
“Emmanuel, I’ve found a pure and beautiful lady for you. Come over immediately!”
“Ms. Hannah? Is that you?”
“Of course, it’s me. What are you pretending for? Anyway, I’ll find a way to set you two up, and I won’t let
Mackenzie know for now. When you two start dating, remember the promise you made!”
“You’re crazy!” Emmanuel couldn’t hold back his temper anymore. “I’ve said it before; I love Mackenzie. Please
don’t waste your efforts. Thank you!”
He quickly hung up and then left the house.
Mackenzie, seeing this scene, had a good idea of what probably went on and couldn’t help but furrow her brows,
displaying a hint of annoyance.
What is Aunt Hannah up to? Seriously!
On the other side, Hannah, after hearing Emmanuel’s response, was also furious.
