A Whirlwind Marriage with the Beautiful CEO novel Chapter 199

Chapter 199 

“Your medical skills are really remarkable when you know both traditional 

and modern medicine, Dr. Lowe! Even many veteran doctors are not your 

match! Why did you decide to be a gynecologist?” 

In truth, Claudette had wanted to ask that question a long time ago. 

Besides the fact that Emmanuel was tall, dark, and handsome, she found him 

different from other men because he emanated a mysterious aura. Like a 

storybook, he riveted her interest. 

“You flatter me, Ms. Lenoir.” 

Alas, Emmanuel merely brushed it off without replying to her question. 

The reason had something to do with his retirement from the military in 

Northern Region, but he did not want to tell anyone about it. 

Perceiving that he did not want to answer, Claudette tactfully gave up 

pursuing the matter further. Since she already had him look her over and had 

no other business there, she could only get to her feet and leave. 

When she reached the door, however, she could not help glancing back over 

her shoulder. “Are you free this Saturday, Dr. Lowe?” 

Frederick was right outside the door, pretending to be busy. In reality, he was 

secretly watching Claudette pursue his best friend. 

Tsk, tsk, I always thought that she was reserved. Unexpectedly, she’s so 

blatant this time! Is she openly asking a married man out? 

“Sorry, Ms. Lenoir, but I have a prior engagement this Saturday. I’m going for a 

laser tag game.” 

“Oh, I see.” 

Claudette feigned disappointment despite actually having known about it. 

She then added, “I also love playing such a recreational game. Do you mind 

bringing me along, Dr. Lowe?” 

“Uh, I’ve got to ask the person organizing things first.” 

“Sure. Thank you!” 

“No problem!” 

Finally, Claudette left. 

Emmanuel promptly texted Beatrix, asking whether he could bring another 

person. Naturally, his request was approved. 

In fact, Beatrix furtively snickered. 

Well, Claudette is really daring! She knows full well that Manuel is married, yet 

she’s still throwing herself at him like a moth to a flame. While she looks 

innocent and shy, she’s surprisingly bold in love! 

Conversely, Emmanuel did not give the matter much thought after it had 

been settled. Being a dense man, he never bothered to postulate about 

women’s intentions. Of course, his wife was the exception to that. 

After getting off work at the hospital, he went to Terence Group’s 

headquarters as usual. 

Mackenzie had to attend a social event that night and did not need him to 

pick her up, so he went home alone when he finished his part–time job. 

He was not a permanent employee of Terence Group yet. As such, he was 

not allowed to enter the office. Part–timers usually worked at night without 

any opportunity to interact with resident staff. Thus, he had no way of seeing 

his wife during working hours. 

As he drove past an intersection, his Maserati was abruptly stopped by a 

Land Rover. 

Hmm, this Land Rover looks somewhat familiar. Doesn’t it belong to Quintus? 

Did he seek me out for something or other? But on second thought, I rode an 

electric bike back then. Hence, it makes no sense for him to know that this car 

is mine. 

“I’ve waited for you for an eternity, Ms. Quillen! You claimed to have a social 

event, but…” 

Quintus climbed out of the Land Rover with a smug expression on his face, 

mistakenly assuming that he had successfully intercepted his goddess, 

Mackenzie. 

Ah, such a game is thrilling to the core! 

But upon making out the man in the driver’s seat, he was wholly stunned. 

“How could it be you, buddy?”
