Chapter 1086 Something Was Amiss
As people grow older, they often experience feelings of loneliness. And when they feel lonely, the longing they
experience becomes even more intense.
Terence felt an overwhelming longing for his late wife when he saw Marilyn.
“Dear Old Mr. Quillen, may I assist you with your bath and then provide you with a relaxing massage in the bathtub,
alright?”
Marilyn suddenly knelt and offered her services to Terence.
Terence nodded and allowed the maid to take care of him.
Although Alfred was a skilled fighter and had a healthier body than Terence, he was still an elderly man. Having a
young girl under the age of nineteen attending to him was an entirely different experience.
Outside the hall, the Quillen women had been waiting for Terence for an entire hour, and their anxiety was growing!
“What is Dad doing? I’ll go check!” Samantha couldn’t sit still and went straight to Terence’s suite.
Alfred didn’t stop her, and the other women followed suit.
Finally, even Mackenzie and Emmanuel joined them. Mackenzie’s unease grew stronger, and those irrational
thoughts resurfaced!
“No! Grandfather is a wise man; he wouldn’t make such a mistake!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMackenzie silently prayed and shook her head.
In the next moment, Emmanuel gently held her hand and seemed to understand what she was thinking. He shook
his head, indicating that she shouldn’t overthink it.
A slight smile appeared on Mackenzie’s lips. She realized that having a man by her side wasn’t such a bad thing.
Little did she know that Beatrix, who was behind her, felt like she was being tortured. It was time for her to get a
boyfriend too!
“Dad!”
“Grandfather!”
The group of people arrived outside Terence’s room and began calling out.
After waiting for a long time, the door was finally opened.

“What’s the matter? Why are you all looking for me here?”
Terence asked sternly.
He was wearing a bathrobe and opened the door himself.
Behind him, Marilyn moved slowly due to discomfort in her leg. Her hair was wet, and steam from the hot water still
clung to her body.

It was apparent that she had just finished bathing!

Seeing this scene, Mackenzie found it somewhat difficult to accept. Naturally, an image of an old man and a young
girl bathing together flashed through her mind.
Although Marilyn was her grandfather’s maid and it was normal for her to assist him in bathing, Mackenzie couldn’t
help but feel that the situation might be a bit unusual!
However, they couldn’t inquire about such matters.
“Dad, why did you take such a long bath this time? Is it because the maid is too slow? Fire her, and I’ll find a more
efficient one for you!”
Although Samantha was not familiar with Marilyn, she had a vague feeling that something was amiss.
Her father had numerous quick and efficient servants, yet he insisted on having this young girl attend to him. There
must be some special emotional connection!
Especially since they had all heard about how this girl managed to find Terence and played out a dramatic story of
love, life, and death!
In any case, allowing this girl to remain by Terence’s side didn’t sit right with their female intuition!
“Marilyn, you may leave! I’ll pay you triple your salary!”
Mackenzie also supported Samantha’s decision. Given her decisiveness, she was ready to drive Marilyn

However, Marilyn immediately knelt in front of Terence while crying. “Dear Old Mr. Quillen, please! Don’t send me
away. I promise I’ll serve you better next time! Please!”
“Silence, all of you!”
Terence suddenly shouted angrily.
The women of the Quillen family trembled in fear.
It had been a long time since Alfred had seen Old Mr. Quillen so furious, even more furious than when he saw
Samantha and Felicity fighting!
‘Marilyn, get up!”
Terence personally helped Marilyn to her feet and said, “Don’t worry! As long as I’m still in the Quillen family, no
one can force you to leave!”
Marilyn quickly wiped away her tears and sought refuge behind Terence, relishing in his protection.
This scene was unbearable for the women of the Quillen family to witness, especially for Samantha and the other
four women. At this moment, they were even more repulsed by Marilyn than they were by Felicity in the past, and a
hundred times more repulsed than when they saw Emmanuel!
They were only concerned that Emmanuel might be a marriage fraud, but at least he somewhat matched
Mackenzie in terms of appearance.
On the other hand, Marilyn clinging to Terence made them feel like a parasite attached to an old man’s leg!
