Love at the Wrong Table Emmanuel Lowe Chapter 350

Chapter 350

He must have gotten jealous. Otherwise, why would he bother beating up

some random person from Yeringham? “Alright, thank you!” Magnus was

polite as he thanked the person on the phone. After he ended the call, he

realized that Claudette had walked over to the side of the road on her own,

so he jogged after her immediately. “Why don’t I send you home, Princess

Claudette? Please don’t walk on your own at night. You might be in danger!”

Magnus uttered worriedly.

Even though his words were thoughtful and warm, Claudette didn’t seem the

least bit touched by them. “I’m thankful for your care, Mr. Magnus. But have

you ever considered that I may not want your care?” she said as she turned.

around to gaze at him.

The man let out a bashful scoff. “I’m just your lapdog, after all. You don’t have

to feel pressured.”

Claudette let out a sigh. “It seems like both your IQ and EQ are pretty high,

huh? You’re comforting me before I even tell you what I feel!”

“Of course, this is my job as a knight!” he replied with a smile. The lady was

rather annoyed at him, yet she knew she couldn’t lash out at him. The only

thing she could do then was to stop, turn around, and confront him. Magnus

halted his footsteps and looked at her as well.

“Actually, there’s someone I fancy, Mr. Magnus!” Claudette announced.

“Unfortunately, you aren’t the person I’m referring to.”

The man was silent for a while. He wasn’t angry or feeling dejected; his face

was expressionless for a moment before he tugged his lips into a smile

again. “Is that so? Congratulations, my princess. Falling in love with someone

is a really beautiful feeling!”

Perhaps this was why Claudette couldn’t bring herself to like the man.

Regardless of how capable or talented he was, he simply wasn’t normal!

Claudette saw herself as a regular woman, so she felt like things would never

work out between herself and this man. Perhaps this is love. I don’t think he

understands what love truly is, though, she thought.

Right then, the Lenoir family’s driver pulled up by the roadside in a

Rolls–Royce. He was there to pick Claudette up. “I agree that it’s a beautiful

feeling to be in love. Well, thank you for today, Mr. Magnus. I’ll see you around.”

After saying goodbye, she entered her car without asking the man to come

along.

Magnus‘ smile faded off after the car drove away, and it was soon replaced

with a look of anger. “Quintus, you mentioned that a knight would fight for hist

princess when he encountered a love rival, right?” he muttered to himself as

he clenched his fists.

On the other hand, Claudette’s mind was still occupied by the time she

returned to the Lenoir Residence. She had just stepped into the hall when she

heard a loud laugh. “You’re finally back. I had assumed that you’d be able to

lose your virginity to Dr. Lowe tonight,” Laura said while resting on the couch..

“What are you talking about? Do I look like that sort of woman?” Claudette’s

cheeks were flushed as she pouted a little. Laura lifted her smooth and fair

legs off the table top and planted them on the floor before she got to her

feet. “Hah, you might not be that sort of woman, but that’s the sort of woman

you want to be, right? It’s a great feeling to ditch your values and just go

rogue…”

“I–I don’t have such desires!” Claudette let out a haughty scoff before turning

around and walking toward her room. However, she stopped herself just

moments later. “Why did Magnus show up in Yeringham, Aunt Laura?” she

asked as she turned around.

“Why else? Men only do things for two reasons–money or women!” Laura

replied half–heartedly. The Lenoir and Zelinsky families were closely related to

one another. Even though they were based in different cities, they interacted

with one another as peers. However, if one were to consider their abilities and

reputation, the Zelinsky family undoubtedly had the upper hand.

Laura continued speaking when she saw Claudette standing rooted in her

spot. “He came for a woman, of course! I bet he came to see our little

princess! Their family wants to have an arranged marriage with ours, and

they offered some pretty good benefits. Though, I’m not sure if your father will

agree to it,” Laura uttered.

Claudette’s gaze flickered for a moment. She believed in her father; she was

sure he wouldn’t give up on his daughter’s happiness just for the sake of

some benefits. But… we can never know for sure!

“Well, regarding money, it seems like the Zelinsky family and Verkade Group’s

project had suffered losses and was taken over by Mackenzie. Hundreds of

millions had been invested in that project. Ah, how interesting!” Laura

cheered. She was a woman who often kept herself updated with the gossip

but also someone who never got involved. Furthermore, since Mackenzie was

her daughter’s love rival and Magnus was courting her daughter, she’d be

eager to see a fight between them!
