Chapter 245

All the gamers left, and Beatrix had also been taken away by Elizabeth.

However, Emmanuel was a bit slow to catch on and furrowed his brows as he

asked, “Why are your family members so strange? Don’t they all know that

you got injured?” Claudette’s aunt, brother, and even her sister all left her

behind. How can they do that? If it weren’t for Claudette making a phone call

and bringing everyone over, he would have even suspected that she didn’t

get along well with her family members.

At his question, she looked embarrassed and didn’t know how to answer. I

can clearly sense how clueless this man is. Doesn’t he realize that I have

feelings for him?

“Let me take you back home then, Ms. Lenoir.” He was indeed a little oblivious,

especially knowing that she came from an extraordinary family background

and that she was Roselynn’s boss.

After witnessing her capabilities just now, he considered her a lofty princess.

How can she possibly have feelings for a man like me? I’ve been on 18 blind

dates! It just doesn’t make sense.

Therefore, being naturally slow when it came to emotions and guided by his

habitual thinking, he couldn’t entertain thoughts in that direction unless

Claudette explicitly told him so.

With affectionate eyes, Claudette nodded and hummed in agreement.

Undoubtedly, the clueless Emmanuel ignored all her subtle expressions and

unusual behavior.

While lying on his back, she couldn’t help but sigh. Do I have to confess my

love for him? Otherwise, he might never know that I have feelings for him.

What if he rejects me, though? It will be so awkward to see him for my

treatments in the future. Okay, I’ll never confess.

Over an hour later, Emmanuel got off the taxi with Claudette in his arms. Just

as he was about to take her to the door of the Lenoir Residence, he suddenly

trembled all over.

In front of him stood a beautiful woman, emanating a chilling aura. Her cold,

beautiful eyes were fixed on the two of them.

“Mackenzie? What are you doing here?” he asked at once when he saw her.

However, Mackenzie just bit her lips, not wanting to say a word to him. As she

stared at Claudette, she sneered coldly. “Congratulations, Ms. Lenoir.”

Claudette trembled slightly as well under Mackenzie’s stare. Even though she

was the Lenoir family’s princess, it was difficult to withstand Mackenzie’s icy

aura.

She didn’t know how to respond to the woman. Despite consistently

regarding Mackenzie and Emmanuel’s relationship as a fake marriage, she

experienced a twinge of guilt at that particular moment.

Mackenzie walked past Emmanuel directly without a word, even bumping

him with her shoulder.

“Mackenzie! Mackenzie!” Although he didn’t understand what was going on,

he still wanted to put down Claudette and chase after her. However,

Claudette had been bitten by a snake on her thigh and couldn’t exert force.

As soon as he let go, she sat down on the ground with a cry.

“I’m sorry, Ms. Lenoir.” At this moment, he was in a dilemma, but as a doctor,

Claudette was his patient, so he quickly lifted her and took her into the Lenoir

Residence.

After that, without stopping for even half a second, he turned around and ran

out to chase after Mackenzie. Unfortunately, she had already disappeared by

then.

“Why was Mackenzie at the door of the Lenoir Residence? Was she

angry with

me just now?” He felt something amiss. Though I don’t think she has feelings

for me, we are still considered a married couple. Perhaps she misunderstood

something. I need to hurry back home and explain everything to her.

With this thought in mind, he hurriedly rushed back home, but to his surprise,

Mackenzie was nowhere to be found.
