Chapter 298
“Ms. Lenoir, are you feeling better?” Emmanuel lowered his head and looked
into Claudette’s eyes after she was tired from hitting him.
After hearing this, her teary eyes glistened with an array of emotions. I
genuinely enjoy spending time with him, especially after I have just pounced
on him, as it brought me joy that no other man could. Additionally, there is
something exceptional about this man, but why does he have a wife?
“Alright, Ms. Lenoir. It’s late. We should go back and sleep-” Seeing Claudette
suddenly lift her head to look at him, Emmanuel quickly added, “Um… I mean,
we’ll drift off to sleep at the same time but in different rooms.”
Pfft! She couldn’t help but be humored by this strait–laced guy! As soon as
her laughter subsided, she was overcome with sadness.
“Which b*stard dares to bully my princess?!”
Suddenly, a loud shout rang out, and a strong wind gust swept through the
area around the pond. The wind even blew directly at Emmanuel!
At that moment, a person who possessed martial arts skills approached
them.
An ambush? How dishonorable! Emmanuel swiftly stepped aside, dodging
the attacker’s strike. As expected, it is that brawny guy again!
Since Quintus had failed to land a blow on him, he wanted to continue
ambushing him. Initially, Quintus wished to have a duel with Emmanuel
because of Mackenzie. However, after being stood up twice and seeing
Emmanuel make his little sister cry, he decided to use any means necessary
to attack Emmanuel! What honor do young people uphold anyway? I just
have to go ahead and teach him a lesson on behalf of my sister!
Unexpectedly, Claudette extended her arms and shielded Emmanuel, yelling,
“Quintus, stop!”
Her brother’s heart was broken when he saw this! Sons are indeed way better
than daughters! Why is she standing on Emmanuel’s side and making me
the bad guy?!
“Quintus, you are resorting to ambushes?” Once Emmanuel regained his
footing, he calmly struck up a conversation with him. He could sense that
Quintus wasn’t going all out despite wanting to teach him a lesson, which
was why they could have a conversation.
“Of course, as a member of the Lenoir family’s army, I am skilled in all types of
martial arts. I’ll let you experience what I’m capable of today!” While saying
this, Quintus took out a pair of nunchaku and started swinging them around.
After finishing his moves, he even let out a shout like he was some famous
martial artist. Although it was a cool set of actions, it became somewhat
comical due to his excessive force!
“Honestly, I don’t think nunchaku suits you.” Emmanuel solemnly voiced his
opinion after he watched the whole thing.
On the other hand, Claudette also found the situation funny. Just what is my
brother and Emmanuel’s relationship? They don’t seem like enemies, yet they
aren’t exactly friends!
“Really? What weapon should I use to look cool, then?” Quintus couldn’t help
but believe Emmanuel’s words.
“Um, you shouldn’t ask me whether or not you look cool,” Emmanuel replied
hesitantly because he was never an expert in this area.
“Then, who should I ask?”
“Of course, it’s better to ask for a lady’s opinion!” Emmanuel pointed at
Claudette as he gave sensible advice. “Everyone knows that Ms. Lenoir is the
goddess of Yeringham. If you want to know if you’re cool, you should ask her!”
“Haha! That makes sense!” Quintus enjoyed conversing with Emmanuel
because he knew Emmanuel spoke logically and was sincere.
After hearing their conversation, she pulled her eyebrows together into a
small frown. Didn’t my brother come here to beat up Emmanuel? How did the
situation suddenly change? The topic even shifted after they had a brief
conversation! Could it be… Emmanuel is smarter than my brother?
“Tell me then, Claudia. What weapon should I use to beat up Emmanuel while
Tooking handsome?” Quintus had always adored his sister, and the gentle
tone in which he spoke to her made him appear to be a different person.
“Quintus, do you want me to tell the truth?”
“Of course! Why would anyone want to hear lies?”
“Okay… Honestly, I don’t think… Your appearance has nothing to do with the
word ‘handsome,” Claudette sincerely answered Quintus‘ question.
5/8
Seeing his sister’s sincere expression, he couldn’t help thinking this was too
big a blow for him! My dear sister, how could you hurt your brother’s feelings
like this? Couldn’t you have been more indirect about it and said that my
good looks aren’t easy for the naked eye?
V
Pfft! This time, it was Emmanuel who couldn’t help laughing and making fun
of Quintus. He thought Quintus‘ current expression would definitely ward off
bad luck if he captured it and hung the photo on the wall.
“Emmanuel, let’s go!” Claudette hurriedly took his hand and led him into the
hotel. She was the last person who wanted Emmanuel and her brother to
fight. Regardless of who would get hurt, she didn’t want to see it. That’s why
she didn’t invite her brother to this event. Who would have thought he would
actually chase after them here!
“Claudette, how could you be so straightforward with your words? Your
brother could be hurt by what you said just now!” he reminded her as they
walked along the path.
“Still, I’m not good at lying. My brother isn’t handsome!”
Emmanuel remained silent, but he appeared to have discovered a new side
of Claudette. It turns out that this gentle beauty has a sharp tongue!
As they trotted back to the hotel, he discreetly let go of her hand.
