“Is that not the case?” Quintus said excitedly, “News of Hubert pursuing you is
trending on the news. If I don’t make my move, I’d lose you for sure. I have
way too many rivals in love! If you get taken away by some other man, I’ll
have to live the rest of my life as a bachelor, and this will cause the Lenoir
family line to go extinct. Isn’t it obvious that it affects the family’s fate?”

Mackenzie forced a smile on her face. “That’s quite a terrible joke. Should I be
laughing?”
“It’s not a joke. I’m being serious here!”
Once again, Quintus waved the two concert tickets at her. “Mackenzie, give
me a chance. I know you enjoy listening to piano and classical music.”
Although Mackenzie did not accept the tickets, she also did not chase him
out. Furthermore, several security guards have already gathered outside the
-office.
“You’d abandon your Land Rover, hop on an electric scooter and chase me
down nine blocks, just so you could invite me to a concert?”
Briefly taken aback, Quintus laughed. “You got that right. So, you knew! Yeah,
nine blocks are nothing. I’d chase you to the ends of the earth and down
other dangerous places if need be!”
Mackenzie felt goosebumps all over her body at his reply. This was one of the
reasons she hated men. Their cheesy words made her whole body feel so
uncomfortable.

Though, it’s strange that I don’t feel this way when that id*ot at home praises
1. me.
“Are you acquainted with the rider of the electric scooter?” Mackenzie Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
ignored the topic. Instead, she chose to focus on the rider of the electric
scooter.
Surprised, Quintus shook his head as he replied, “I don’t know him. But it’s
strange, I seem to have stopped a professional racer. Otherwise, it would
have been impossible for me to catch up. Don’t you think this means that
we’re fated to meet each other?”
Mackenzie snorted in response. She did not believe in fate. If I’m truly fated to
be with someone, it would be with that id*ot!
Quintus‘ chase had nothing to do with that id*ot, but the former had
somehow managed to stop his electric scooter. It had ended up looking like
the scene of a husband chasing after his wife and causing a huge
commotion along nine blocks.
A bonehead like Quintus and a dummy like Emmanuel were like birds of a
feather that flocked together, Quintus knew that Hubert was trending in the
news, but he did not recognize the male lead that topped the trending
searches. It made Mackenzie utterly speechless!
“Mackenzie, you look so pretty when you smile. Will you agree to go with me?”
Quintus‘ every sentence made Mackenzie shudder inwardly.
With that, she was certain only that the man at home did not make her feel ill
when he complimented her beauty.
“Quintus, you should leave. I have already rejected you and I don’t like men
who cling to me persistently. Do you catch my drift?” Mackenzie replied
heartlessly. If Quintus refused to leave, she was going to call his father and
have him send someone to drag Quintus away.
Unexpectedly, her words caused Quintus to guffaw. “Great, I failed! However,
the feeling of defeat ignites my fighting spirit even more! Mackenzie, I’ll
continue to pursue you for ten years. If you still won’t fall in love with me after
ten years, then I’ll give up!”
Ugh, I’ll really puke at this. Does he do nothing but watch dramatic idol
dramas? Every word that comes out of his mouth sets me off!
Meanwhile, Emmanuel was extremely curious about what the daughter of
the Quillen family looked like. Only his iron will prevent him from looking up
her photos on the internet.
He rode his electric scooter back after he got off his part–time job. Just as he
was passing by the junction at Terence Group, he suddenly encountered
Quintus.
Emmanuel assumed that the latter was here to deal with his Land Rover’s
traffic offense from earlier. However, Quintus greeted Emmanuel warmly as
he spotted the latter.
“You’re finally here!”
“Are you waiting for me?” Emmanuel was puzzled. I’m no bombshell, so why is
he here waiting for me?
“Haha! I was called in by the traffic police earlier, and I’ve only just settled my
affairs. I thought that I could run into you by chance, but I didn’t expect it to
actually happen!”
Quintus did not sound like someone who came from an affluent family.
Instead, he appeared to be a straightforward and passionate young man.
“Do you have a girlfriend?”
