A Whirlwind Marriage with the Beautiful CEO novel Chapter 368

Chapter 368 

After Magnus put down his glass, he pretended not to understand 

Claudette’s gaze and smiled, saying, “The taste of the wine is so good, and 

I’m in a great mood. I hope your birthday is lively and that more people come 

to wish you well and congratulate you!” 

Nevertheless, she continued to listen silently without responding. 

“We’ve both expressed how wonderful it is to be with someone we like! Now, 

you’ve met the person I like, and I’ve met the person you like. Those who like 

you but you don’t like them and those whom you like but don’t like are here to 

celebrate your birthday. I hope you have a happy birthday!” After saying this, 

he snapped his fingers, and Hubert hurriedly walked over to pour him a drink 

despite the pain in his hand. 

Pfft! Suddenly, she burst out laughing, her smile as bright and beautiful as a 

flower in bloom. Then, she glanced at Magnus and asked, “Do you want more 

people to celebrate with me? Wasn’t it you who ordered to drive Emmanuel 

away earlier?”

He shook his head and replied, “Believe me, I’m not that foolish!” 

However, Claudette continued to mock, “Then, wasn’t the guy who got 

knocked out by Emmanuel just now one of your men?” 

He could no longer deny it but still responded with the same expression. “It 

was embarrassing. I admit I had high expectations for him!” 

She asked again, “Magnus, do you think what you’re doing is meaningful?” 

After hearing this, Magnus replied solemnly, “A knight’s duty is to protect the 

princess; that’s his meaning of life!” 

Claudette chuckled again, asking, “Do you think you’re protecting me this 

way? Do you think I need your kind of protection?” 

He sighed and stated, “Everyone knows I came to Yeringham for your 

birthday, but if the man who ends up celebrating your birthday with you isn’t 

me, what do you think others would think?” 

She nodded, indicating her understanding.

Then, he continued, “So, I can’t let someone else take my place. Actually, I 

don’t want to resort to violence either!” 

However, she said, “So, you’re willing to destroy all my efforts? Then, you 

openly claim that you’re protecting me? Do you know how rare it is for me to 

have such a special birthday?” 

Magnus had no words in response, so he raised his glass wisely and said, 

“Claudette, happy birthday!” 

Claudette smiled but didn’t say anything or raise her glass since she didn’t 

like dining with hypocrites. 

“10!” 

*9!” 

“8!” 

Suddenly, he began to count down. 

His actions confused her, and she asked, “What are you counting? Is it the 

seconds I have left to talk to you?” At the same time, her delicate hand had 

already grabbed the plate on the table. 

Magnus smiled faintly and suddenly moved aside. Clang! He deftly dodged 

Claudette’s thrown plate and continued counting, “0.” 

Claudette flicked her hair and laughed. “Looks like you counted right again!” 

wwwww 

However, he wasn’t proud of himself but rather sad, as he admitted, “I wish I 

had counted wrong, then I wouldn’t feel so upset like now.” 

Nonetheless, she showed no sympathy, only mockery. “You truly are a genius 

and know me quite well.” 

Magnus nodded and explained, “Since I was ten, I’ve tried various ways to 

understand you. Only then can I bring you the happiness you deserve!” 

“But even so, you can’t give me any happiness!” Claudette interrupted 

mercilessly. “You always think you can predict everything so well, but do you 

know there are things you can’t predict? Like how you could never predict 

when you were a kid that you could never win my affection?”
