Love at the Wrong Table
Chapter 381
In such a situation, Claudette was still apologizing to Emmanuel.
âNo, I will protect you. I promise!â Emmanuel quickly reassured her, but he had
to temporarily leave her on the ground.
He needed to find a way to divert the enemyâs attention to ensure
Claudetteâs safety.
He had to put other matters temporarily aside.
Claudette looked at Emmanuelâs face and felt his current tension. Instead of
being afraid, she tried to comfort Emmanuel, âEmmanuel, you will definitely
win!â
Emmanuel lowered his head and met her gaze, nodding solemnly.
Then, he picked up a stone from the ground and threw it into the distance.
Bang!
As soon as the stone hit the ground, it caught the enemyâs attention. Bullets
started raining down on that area one after another!
Not only that but bombs also dropped from above, turning the surroundings
of that stone into a chaotic mess!
âThat guyâs firepower is too much. Looks like he didnât underestimate me,â
Emmanuel said with a bitter smile, reminiscing about the feeling of being on
the brink of life and death, which was a sensation he hadnât experienced for a
long time.
He was no longer the same Wolf Warrior from the past. Now unarmed and
with a wounded person to take care of, how would he find the confidence to
fight back and kill the enemy?
They were practically trapped. Unable to move even an inch, they were filled
with a sense of impending doom.
At that moment, Claudette seemed to understand his thoughts. She
suddenly spoke weakly. âEmmanuel, you are not alone, are you? Donât you still
have me?â
Emmanuel was momentarily taken aback. He knew Claudette wasnât joking.
What is she planning to do?
âMs. Lenoir, what do you want to do? Please donât do anything reckless!â
Emmanuel quickly looked at Claudette, fearing that she might make an
impulsive decision.
âSeeing you so worried about me, I feel that Iâm worth something!â Claudette
smiled softly, gently pushing Emmanuel away. âIf I can distract the enemy for
you, youâll have a chance to escape or even counterattack, wonât you?â
âClaudette, what are you thinking? Do you want to go out as bait? No,
absolutely not! Magnus may not be here, and if you reveal yourself, you
might be mistaken for the enemy and get killed!â Emmanuel hurriedly held
her, not allowing her to do anything foolish.
âYouâre the person I love. How can I let you fail because of me?â Claudette
said as she struggled to get up from the ground. Halfâkneeling, she held
Emmanuelâs determined face in her hands. âEmmanuel, for the last time, let
me help you complete this magnificent turnaround!â
Her breath was gentle as it brushed against Emmanuelâs face.
Emmanuel desperately shook his head, his eyes indicating that she shouldnât
do anything reckless.
âMagnus, I know you can hear me! I know youâre still here!â Claudette
suddenly called out.
At the same time, their surroundings were already hit by sniper rifle shots,
and soil flew everywhere. If luck wasnât on their side, they would already be
lifeless bodies!
However, Claudette wasnât afraid. She continued to shout loudly, âMagnus,
even if you kill me, it only proves that youâre a failure! I will never like you, not
even in death!â

After her words, the bullets indeed stopped; the bombs didnât continue to rain
down either.
Emmanuel was slightly surprised and started to appreciate Claudette more.
He had always thought that she lacked wisdom compared to Mackenzie, but
now he realized that she was not inferior to Mackenzie in terms of intelligence
and courage.
Claudette knew that Magnus was an extremely proud man. He desired not
only her beauty but also a statusâa title he had set for himself. Her title as a
princess was not something she was born with but rather came about after
Magnus proclaimed himself her knight.
After all, what else could a woman protected by one of Zovinceâs top four
men be if not a princess?
There was a saying that went, âWhat you canât have will always stir your
desire.â
Claudetteâs deliberate rejection of Magnus now ignited his desire to conquer
her, making it impossible for him to bear killing her.
With the bullets no longer firing and the bombs no longer dropping, that was
the best proof!
