Love At The Wrong Table

As a gynecologist, a woman’s body was, well, just another body to

Emmanuel, but it didn’t mean that he wouldn’t be embarrassed when a

woman ogled his body.

“S–Sorry!” Claudette quickly looked away, her cheeks blushing and her heart

racing. She longed to take another glance at him.

Shoot! I’m one of those lecherous women!

Claudette’s cheeks grew hotter and hotter. In the past, she didn’t understand

why some women could get infatuated and call every handsome man

‘husband‘. They would scream at the sight of a muscular body, but now she

realized that when she genuinely liked a man, the feeling of her heart racing

was so intense that she couldn’t control it at all!

With that, she snuck another peek through the gaps in the bushes.

Emmanuel paid no attention to her. The current situation called for drying

their clothes and themselves first, then figuring out how to survive. After all,

no one knew how long they would be trapped in this valley.

After a while, when he put his clothes back on, he turned around and

surprisingly found that Claudette had also taken off all her clothes to dry by

the fire.

Her smooth and porcelain–like skin that was illuminated by the flames

appeared to be twinkling. It was truly captivating!

The sudden visual impact turned Emmanuel on.

She was the second woman, after Mackenzie, who could evoke such a

sensation in him.

Claudette caught him looking just as he was about to look away. Their eyes

met, and the atmosphere became slightly awkward. However, in the next

moment, Claudette narrowed her eyes and smiled. “Do I look good, Dr. Lowe?”

“Umm…” For once, Emmanuel was nervous. Still, he nodded. “You look very

good!”

“Thank you!” she replied graciously, over the moon.

“Um, you’re welcome.” Emmanuel turned around at once, trying his best to

remain natural. “You go ahead and dry yourself and your clothes, Ms. Lenoir.

I’ll see if I can find something to eat!”

“Sure…“Claudette nodded bashfully as a smile gradually appeared on her

face.

Neither of them had any communication devices, and they had drifted quite

a distance along the river.

The valley below was desolate and uninhabited. They had to find a way to This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

survive first before they could wait for rescue. Otherwise, it would be difficult

for them to make it through.

Emmanuel took a few steps, then suddenly stopped and said, “By the way,

Ms. Lenoir, you should put on your clothes as soon as possible. I’m afraid

there might be other people or wild animals around here…”

Claudette paused for a moment, then her heart blossomed with joy. Is he

jealous?!

“Alright!”

“Well, I’ll look for food nearby. Call out if you need anything.”

“Okay, I got it!”

Claudette was very obedient. Emmanuel would have likely had a hard time

saying no to her, let alone any other man.

That said, he was well aware of his status as a married man. He wouldn’t

entertain any other thoughts about women.

Night gradually fell, and Roselynn was still anxiously waiting for news of the

rescue on the cliff.

In contrast to her anxiety, Hubert could hardly contain his excitement. The

longer they waited without news, the higher the probability of Emmanuel’s

death!

“Gautier, good news!” Hubert couldn’t help giving his brother another call.

“Emmanuel has likely fallen off the cliff and died! But Mackenzie didn’t bungee

jump with him. She’s still alive. This is my chance!”

“Is that so? It’s up to you then!” Gautier ended the call in just a few words. His

gaze gradually turned cold and there was a hint of disappointment in them.

The Quillen family had just snatched 150 million in profits from their family. As

the heir of Verkade Group, Gautier certainly wanted to eliminate his enemy,

Emmanuel. But more than that, he longed for Mackenzie to die alongside

him!

“Once Mackenzie dies, the Quillen family will no longer be a threat!” Gautier said to himself with gnashed teeth.
