A Whirlwind Marriage with the Beautiful CEO novel Chapter 5

Chapter 5 

Marriage is not a child’s game. Now that we’re married, 

we need to decide how we will do a certain something 

that married couples do! 

“Heh… As expected of a man!” 

Mackenzie rolled her eyes when she heard that. 

I knew it! Men and women do think differently, after all! 

I care about our life as a married couple, but he’s only 

concerned about our sex life! 

“Unless you win my heart over, you can forget about 

laying even a finger on me!” 

“Very well, then!” 

Emmanuel liked Mackenzie’s short and simple reply. 

He never believed that a dense man like himself would 

be able to win the heart of an ice queen like her. While 

it was true that she could get his heart racing with her 

beauty, that didn’t mean she would turn him on. 

In fact, he even thought he was unable to be turned on 

by women. 

Hence, one of the main reasons he didn’t want to get 

married was that he was afraid of not being able to 

satisfy his wife sexually. 

As such, Mackenzie’s refusal to have sex with him came 

as a huge relief. 

Mackenzie, however, wasn’t too pleased with his 

response. 

What the… This b*stard! I can tell he’s not faking it! I 

know that most men wouldn’t dare express their 

interest in me because of my cold personality, but that 

doesn’t mean they don’t lust over me! I know I’m a very 

beautiful woman, so why doesn’t this b*stard even 

want to have sex with me? Is it because he’s a 

gynecologist? I hate this so much! 

The two then headed their separate ways after they 

had made their terms clear with each other. 

Emmanuel saw Milani at his doorstep with a basket of 

fruits the moment he got home. 

She looked like a completely different person with that 

sweet smile on her face. 

4/16 

Disgusted by her pretentious behavior, Emmanuel told 

her the truth right away. 

“What? You rejected all of the gifts?” 

Milani was shocked to the core when she heard that 

he had returned the gifts worth ten million. 

Oh, my goodness! Why would he do something so 

stupid? Does he think he’s all high and mighty for 

turning down those gifts? Ugh! Now I see why he’s so 

unsuccessful in life! No one in their right mind would 

ever want to marry a guy like him! They’d be poor for 

life! 

Alessandra came out of her room when she heard the 

commotion. “Ah, Milani, you’re here! Come on in!” She 

welcomed Milani excitedly when she saw the latter 

standing at the door. 

After all, that was the first time a woman had come to 

see her son. 

Alessandra was so desperate to marry Emmanuel off 

that she didn’t even care if Milani’s family were a bunch 

of horrible people. 

To her surprise, however, Milani’s attitude changed 

instantly. 

“Sorry, but I’m really busy! Also, you can forget about 

having me marry your son! He isn’t even worthy of 

being my footstool, let alone my husband! I bet he’ll 

never be able to find himself a wife! Goodbye!” Milani 

shouted and stormed off immediately after. 

Honestly, I don’t even know why my mom wanted me 

to come visit him! This was such a huge waste of time! 

Alessandra was left speechless by her sudden 

outburst and change of heart. 

What just happened? Why would she change her mind 

so suddenly? Did she bring those fruits here just to 

insult my son? What is wrong with her? 

Emmanuel knew full well that Milani’s response was 

due to the ten million that he gave up on. 

Naturally, he had no interest in a gold-digger like her 

either. 

“My goodness! What a crazy woman she is!” Roselynn 

exclaimed angrily when she came out and saw Milani 

leaving. 

M 

She then turned toward Emmanuel and tried to 

comfort him, saying, “You need to stay away from 

women like her, Manny! Don’t take her words to heart!” 

To her surprise, however, he didn’t seem to be 

bothered in the slightest. 

“Mom, Roselynn, I’m already married, so you two don’t 

have to worry about me anymore.” 

Alessandra and Roselynn were so shocked that they 

both screamed in unison, “What?” 

Roselynn’s voice was so shrill that she nearly shattered 

the glassware in the house. 

“Did you just say you’re married?” 

“Who are you married to?” 

“You’re not messing with us, are you, Manny? If I recall 

correctly, you never had a girlfriend!” 

Alessandra and Roselynn both fired questions at him 

one after another. 

Instead of trying to convince them, Emmanuel simply 

whipped out his marriage certificate and showed it to 

them. 

The truth spoke for itself, leaving the two women 

wide-eyed with shock. 

Although the woman on the marriage certificate 

looked gorgeous, they were still worried about her 

personality. 

“She looks hard to get along with!“ 

“Are you sure this isn’t some kind of scam?” 

Emmanuel could understand their concerns, so he lied 

to reassure them. “Don’t worry. She’s a woman I met 

while I was a soldier at Northern Region. She’s a strong 

woman and a perfectionist who cares a lot about her 

image, so she didn’t want people to know about our 

relationship. That’s why we’ve been keeping it a secret 

all this while.” 

“Ah, so that’s what happened…” 

That explains why he refused to get himself a girlfriend 

all these years! Turns out, he already had one all 

along! 

“I’m sorry for keeping it a secret from you two for so 

long! I only did it to protect her career. Anyway, you 

two no longer have to worry about me getting married. 

Mackenzie and I will surely live a happy life together,” 

Emmanuel reassured them, but they were still worried. 

Roselynn was especially suspicious of his explanation. 

If Manny already had a girlfriend all along, then why 

did he wait until now to tell us about it? Why did he 

waste his time attending those eighteen matchmaking 

sessions? Oh, well… He must have his reasons for lying 

to us, and I don’t want to make Mom worried by 

exposing him. 

“What does she do for a living, Manny? Why didn’t she 

come home with you now that you two are married?” 

Alessandra asked curiously. 

No mother wouldn’t be curious about her 

daughter-in-law, and Alessandra was no exception. 

Emmanuel knew she would surely ask about 

Mackenzie’s background, so he had prepared himself 

to answer her questions. 

“Mackenzie is a high-level executive in a huge 

company, Mom. That’s why she can’t come home with 

me.” 

“What? Where will she stay, then?” Alessandra pressed 

“She bought a house of her own, Mom. Now that we’re 

married, I’ll be moving in with her soon.” 

“…” 

Alessandra’s eyes teared up all of a sudden. 

Roselynn didn’t want Emmanuel to leave either, but 

she tried to comfort Alessandra anyway. “Manny is a 

grown adult now, Mom. It was only a matter of time 

before he moved out. You want to have grandchildren, 

don’t you? It’ll be hard for that to happen if he stays 

with you all the time!” 

Of course, Alessandra understood that very well. After 

all, no woman would want to live with their in-laws 

these days. It would be very inconvenient for them to 

have sex at night, too. 

Even so, Alessandra’s tears still refused to stop flowing. 

“I won’t object to your relationship if you love her, 

Manny. I just have one request. Could you bring her 

over so I can have a look at her? Also, I want you to 

arrange for both our families to meet each other.” 

Alessandra’s sincere requests were actually very 

simple ones, but they were incredibly difficult for 

Emmanuel to fulfill. 

There’s no way a woman like Mackenzie would be 

willing to visit our house! I don’t know what her job title 

is, but her attire and attitude alone show that she’s no 

ordinary woman. I doubt I can even afford to pay for 

the dry cleaning if we end up getting her clothes dirty! 

As for meeting her parents, that’s practically never 

going to happen. She said she only agreed to marry 

me to satisfy her grandfather, so getting her to show 

up here and put up an act for me is simply asking for 

the impossible. What do I do now?
