Love At The Wrong Table

The rays of morning sunshine were extremely beautiful the next morning. As

the sun rose slowly and a gentle breeze blew, the Flower Mountain bloomed

with various colorfully enchanting flowers that captivated people’s hearts.

Following the organizational procedure, both men and women on vacation

awoke early to take in the breathtaking scenery in groups.

Nonetheless, Emmanuel did not pass up the opportunity and invited

Mackenzie.

However, the icy woman unexpectedly resumed her icy demeanor that day

and replied coldly, “I’m not free! Go and coax your little Ms. Lenoir!” Bang! After

saying this, she angrily slammed the door shut.

Emmanuel felt ashamed and bewildered because he couldn’t figure out

what he had done wrong this time to make Mackenzie angry. She is so damn

moody! “Never mind, don’t go if you don’t want to!” However, he had no idea

why his wife was angry again. Why is she pointing the finger at me now when

she was the one who kissed me last night?

“Emmanuel, is Ms. Quillen not going out today?” Claudette had just exited the

room when she witnessed the occurrence and hurriedly approached him.

“Don’t worry about her. She has no sense of unity. Let’s go!” After Emmanuel

said that, he hurried downstairs.

She was ecstatic to hear this, but she could tell that he had only said this

because he was upset with Mackenzie and that she was just his back–burner

girl. Luckily, she had her mind in the right place. It is just like what Aunt Laura

had said. So, what if I’m just his second choice? All that matters is that I still

have a chance to be his main girl!

Afterward, they went downstairs and gathered outside the hotel entrance

together.

In the meantime, Roselynn was momentarily stunned upon seeing the duo.

The boss actually replaced Mackenzie today? This is dangerous! Although

she and Claudette had a good relationship, she knew Mackenzie was her younger brother’s wife, so she still understood the overall situation well. If my

brother and Claudette continue to be like this, there’s a chance that his

marriage will fall apart! Yet, it was inconvenient for Roselynn to intervene

because she was an outsider and could only choose to close one eye and

trust that her brother knew what he was doing.

On the other hand, Hubert was also slightly surprised to see that Mackenzie

didn’t attend the event today. Never mind. It’s her choice whether she wants

to come. After all, I’ve won as long as I can eliminate Emmanuel.

Afterward, the group set off together to embark on the day’s journey. They

took the cable car and enjoyed the sight of flowers covering the mountains

and fields. Soon, they arrived at the most famous bungee jumping cliff in

Flower Mountain. Two people were tied to a rope before they jumped from

the platform together, which left them feeling like they were flying in a

paradise full of flowers. It was both exhilarating and romantic!

Meanwhile, Claudette had heard that many couples settled down after

bungee jumping at this place.

Additionally, many couples confirmed their relationships as boyfriends and

girlfriends after experiencing bungee jumping together. Hence, bungee

jumping on Flower Mountain was known as ‘Jumping into Love‘!.

At that moment, Jaxton and Roselynn took the lead and jumped first. No one

knew if their screams echoed from the valley below were from fear or

excitement! Anyhow, even those who were just watching were exhilarated.

“Ms. Lenoir, since we’re here, why don’t we give it a go?” Jonathan was still

persistent as he tried to invite Claudette.

“No, I’m scared!” She cut to the chase with her reply as she felt irritated at the

sight of him.

On the other hand, he was not a fool and could tell her response was cold, as

her eyes never left Emmanuel. Emmanuel must die before I stand a chance,

but this man has nine lives! Due to his dissatisfaction and persistence, he

tactlessly announced for everyone to hear, “Ms. Lenoir, you don’t need to be

afraid! Come and have fun with me. I will protect you with my life!”

Nonetheless, Jonathan’s sincere confession only brought forth a disdainful

smile from Claudette. “In that case, I wouldn’t want to join you. I don’t want to

owe you my life!” After saying this, she walked away.

In response, he felt humiliated, and his gaze turned murderous as his love for

her turned into hatred.

At this moment, Hubert happened to walk past behind him when he saw

what happened. He approached Jonathan and gently patted his shoulder,

whispering, “Don’t rush. You will get your chance when Emmanuel dies today!”

Jonathan trembled upon hearing this, as he had not anticipated his cousin to

have such a plan up his sleeve. If that’s the case, I have to cooperate!

Meanwhile, it didn’t take long before Roselynn and Jaxton returned. When

everyone heard how exciting the experience was, they became eager to try

bungee jumping for themselves.

“Ms. Lenoir, you are one of the organizers. So, you’ll need to take the lead!”

“That’s right! Ms. Lenoir, why don’t you give it a try for once?”

“For those in favor, raise your hand!”

Someone suddenly cheered Claudette on.

She had also guessed that it was the intentional provocation of the Verkade

cousins, but she still refused with a bitter expression. “No! I’m scared!”

Bun

However, all these people came with a mission, and they wouldn’t give up as

long as Claudette decided to not go bungee jumping.

“The organizer herself doesn’t even want to participate in the game. How

irresponsible!”

“They are not even being sporting. Let’s just leave!”

Feeling cornered, she didn’t know how to de–escalate the situation.

When Jonathan noticed that the time was about right, he appeared again

with a smile hanging on his lips. “That’s right, Ms. Lenoir! It’s better to not make

the people angry, eh? So, why not give it a try? I will definitely protect you.”

The rest of the group quickly applauded and cheered.

“Alright then, I’ll give it a go.” Claudette finally agreed.

At her words, the crowd erupted in cheers! Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

Nonetheless, Jonathan was equally ecstatic because he knew that Hubert

had played a role in convincing Claudette to go bungee jumping with him.

Will Ms. Lenoir fall in love with me after our bungee jump, and she eventually

marries me and becomes a Verkades in–law? The thought alone got him

quite excited.

However…

“Emmanuel, can you accompany me? I’m scared!”

Jonathan turned stiff when she said those words. He had already extended

his hand, but now she was choosing someone else to jump with. This is so

damn embarrassing!

However, Emmanuel found his expression amusing. He didn’t think much of

Jonathan because, in his mind, Jonathan was a sc*mbag who easily fell for

women. Hence, Emmanuel reluctantly nodded to help Claudette out of the

situation.

On the other hand, Hubert had a completely different expression. This was

the result he wanted. Goodbye, Emmanuel! I’ll take care of Mackenzie for you

after you’re gone. Hahaha!

While the two of them were getting their ropes tied, Hubert secretly called

Gautier. Hubert had arranged for everyone to come here for a fun outing

because the Verkades had shares of this scenic spot. Moreover, he could put

anything to happen with a word from Gautier.

“Are you both ready?”

Soon, the employees tied the rope for Emmanuel and Claudette and

confirmed with them.

“Uh-huh…” She nervously nodded and hugged Emmanuel for dear life as she

pressed her delicate body against him. This is such an amazing feeling! As

she looked at his chiseled face, her eyes sparkled while it felt like a jolt of

electricity was coursing through her body. Every moment from now on will be

a precious memory for me!
