Chapter 628
Though the clothes Shane brought were ordinary, they still couldn’t hide her
stunning beauty. However, the redness on her cheeks hadn’t subsided.
“I’m really sorry, Emmanuel. I’ve caused you trouble again, haven’t I?” asked
Sarah with great grievance. “I just wanted to bring Amy over. I never expected
something like this to happen…”
She appeared so pitiful that even Roselynn couldn’t help sighing and
comforting her. “Don’t cry anymore, Sarah. How can you two have such a
deep misunderstanding? Mackenzie was pretty forceful with her slap too.”
Sarah thought Emmanuel would share Roselynn’s thoughts, but to her
surprise, the man dismissed her. “Sorry, I don’t have time to talk to you right
now.”
With that, he ran out, and Sarah bit her lip slightly while watching his
-retreating figure, her lips tightly pressed together.
“Mackenzie! Mackenzie!” Emmanuel called out to Mackenzie everywhere he
went, ignoring the strange looks from others. However, he still couldn’t find
Mackenzie even after arriving at the hill. Her calls wouldn’t go through either.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe then contacted Terence, who, after revealing that Mackenzie didn’t return
to the village entrance and left by car, scolded Emmanuel. “What in the world
is up with you, Lowe? How did you manage to let your wife disappear right
under your nose? Let me tell you this—if anything happens to Mackenzie,
you’ll be fully responsible!”
“Don’t worry, Grandpa! I’ll find Mackenzie at once!”
Emmanuel was growing increasingly anxious. Where the hell is my wife?! She
couldn’t have possibly walked back to Yeringham from here, right?!
Upon learning that Mackenzie had gone missing from Hero’s Village, Frederick
and Shane quickly joined in to help. Many enthusiastic and simple–hearted
villagers joined the search too.
“Mackenzie!”
“Ms. Quillen!”
“Mackenzie!”
However, despite nearly searching the entire village, Mackenzie’s
whereabouts remained unknown. The stunning beauty seemed to have
disappeared into thin air.
Sarah was also puzzled about where her sister had gone.
The sky gradually darkened, and just as Emmanuel was worried sick, Shane
ran up to him and caught his breath before saying, “Manny, Master is looking
for you! He said… he might be able to help you… find your wife!”
Emmanuel felt torn apart at the thought that his drunkard master was
among those who were most familiar with Hero’s Village, but since he was at
a loss, he decided to trust his master.
With that, he rushed to a thatched cottage on the western side of the village.
It was his master’s Peach Blossom House.
Although the house was plain, it was quite spacious. It even had a backyard
covering over a thousand square feet, and it was filled with peach trees.
Every year during spring, the peach blossoms would bloom, and his master
would get drunk while gazing at them every day. As such, people usually
referred to him as a drunkard.
It had been many years since Emmanuel entered Peach Blossom House, and
it hadn’t changed at all from over a decade ago.
“Master!” Emmanuel shouted immediately after pushing the door open.

“Haha…”
As expected, a muffled voice came from the backyard.
Emmanuel hurriedly ran toward the backyard and saw a middle–aged man
with a long beard that reeked of alcohol as he sprawled on a chair. He held a
-porcelain bottle in his hand and was drinking heavily. He looked almost the
same as when Emmanuel first met him many years ago.
In reality, Emmanuel would usually find his master drinking alone in the
backyard whenever he came to visit.
When Emmanuel was young, he had asked his father, “Why does Master
Drunkard drink alcohol every day? Is it to increase his internal strength?”
His father then told him that Santiago used to never drink alcohol and had a
wife who loved peach blossoms. However, she tragically passed away! Since
then, Santiago planted many peach trees and would get intoxicated beneath
the blossoms whenever they were in full bloom.
“You brat, you barely ever return to Hero’s Village, and when you do, all you
care about is your wife. Aren’t you going to accompany your master for a few
drinks?” Santiago’s beard was soaked in alcohol, and he jabbed his fingers at
Emmanuel while scolding him.
At that, Emmanuel forced a wry smile and said, “Master, please don’t scold
1. me. Do you happen to know where Mackenzie is? Please tell me quickly!”
