Seeking Terence's Approval
Mackenzie knew what he was thinking just from his look and gave a soft smile. "Emmanuel, you don't have to worry so much. It will all come together."
Emmanuel looked confused A moment later, Mackenzie stood up with a gentle smile. "I need to resolve some issues. I want to talk privately with Grandpa, so I won't be joining this evening.
Terence was lying relaxed in a chair inside a room in the mansion with his eyes shut, desiring to kick back and enjoy his remaining years after a lifetime of toil. However, Mackenzie came in silently.
"You're here." His eyes remained closed as if expecting her.
She was surprised but answered simply, "Yep."

"Ah." He eventually opened his eyes while smiling wryly. "It seems an old bag of bones like me cannot retire peacefully and prepare for great-grandchildren just yet! What's this about? Am I fated to work forever?"
She felt a sting of regret and approached him, getting to her knees to hold his wrinkled hand, which surprised him. She was usually more held back and stubborn, so this was a rare display of emotions. The marriage arrangement had been a good choice as she was acting gentler.This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

O Mackenzie's eyes shone wetly. She knew the Quillens would be overwhelmingly against her risking everything, not to mention she could not ignore her baby. However, the person was right in that she was a perfectionist and fixated on finishing everything perfectly, even if it meant being endangered.
"Can you allow him to go by himself?" suggested Terence.
Mackenzie gave a head-shake, her tears falling. "Emmanuel is reluctant to bet separated from me, too. I will go with him in life or in death! Besides, I need to discover the truth about my parents myself. It might not be resolved if I don't go."
Terence gave a nod and patted her hand softly. "I knew about your mother's powerful background and so disapproved of Tony dating her. I anticipated. that our family would be caught up in conflicts because of her. Some things cannot be controlled by me, though. Emmanuel is the war god of the Northern Region, so his being with you might ensure your safety."

"You talked that long with Grandpa, Mackenzie?" Emmanuel rushed to help her, seemingly scared she might fall.
