Love at the Wrong Table Emmanuel Lowe Chapter 369

Chapter 369

“No, you will eventually like me!” Magnus said confidently.

“When will that be?” Claudette asked, amused.

“On this day next year,” he replied earnestly.

However, she became tense after hearing his response because she was

familiar with him. Unless he has a specific plan, he would not say such things.

Now that he has said it, it implies that he is confident, and the first step

toward that confidence is to erase the person in my heart! “Do you want to kill

Emmanuel?” she asked nervously.

“The path of a knight’s love and power is always filled with thorns and

bloodshed. A knight is willing to risk his life for the sake of his princess, no

matter the cost.” Magnus‘ answer revealed his intention.

“Magnus, beneath your handsome appearance lies a cold, dark, and ruthless

heart. You’re a terrifying devil,” Claudette said directly, her eyes earnest.

“Yes, I am merciless toward anything and anyone I don’t care for, and I can

be even more cruel than a devil!” he confessed. “But when it comes to things I

like, I will treat them well wholeheartedly, like you.”

“But I don’t like devils, and I don’t want to be with one,” she asserted

confidently and honestly.

Then, he sighed, downed the wine, and uttered, “You may not need to like me

for now, but no matter what, I am the most suitable man for you. I am the

man who can protect you and make you happy. That’s an objective fact!

When women choose men, isn’t security the first consideration? How can a

man without money or power protect you and bring you happiness?”

“You’re wrong!” she retorted. “Firstly, having money and power is not the

source of a woman’s sense of security. Secondly, being forcefully protected

by a man I don’t like will never make me happy but more like being in a

cage!”

Suddenly, he burst into laughter upon hearing his explanation. “Claudette,

everyone lives in a cage; it’s just that the cages of the bottom class are

heavier than those of the upper class. If you choose to be with that

gynecologist, you will have a difficult life ahead. So, I will never allow you to do

that!”

Knock! Knock! At that moment, Emmanuel finally approached and lightly

tapped on the table. He had been eavesdropping on their entire

conversation and had formed an impression of Magnus based on what he

had heard. Nonetheless, he wasn’t particularly interested in Magnus and

Claudette’s story, but he wanted to figure out if Magnus, this wealthy young

man, had any connection to the traitor from the Northern Region Wolf Warrior

Unit. He was curious if Quinn could work for Magnus; the traitor might also be

persuaded to join Magnus. However, their conversation was not about that

topic. Emmanuel knew listening further wouldn’t provide the information he

wanted, so he walked over to reclaim his seat.

“Is there something wrong?” Magnus was displeased with this rival as he

raised an eyebrow calmly.

“This is my seat,” Emmanuel said.

“I came to Yeringham from Zovince to celebrate Princess Claudette’s

birthday. I made the reservation for this seat even earlier than you,” Magnus

replied calmly.

On the other hand, Claudette enjoyed the current atmosphere. Previously,

she had always competed with other women for a spot next to Emmanuel,

but now he had to compete with other men for a place next to her. However,

she was a wise woman. Firstly, she didn’t want Emmanuel to clash with

Magnus again because she knew Magnus surely had a backup plan.

Secondly, she was afraid Emmanuel might give up voluntarily, so she

preemptively said to Magnus, “Well, then, you can have this seat.” After

saying this, she stood up, took Emmanuel’s arm, and said tenderly, “I just

finished eating. Let’s go!”
