A Whirlwind Marriage with the Beautiful CEO novel Chapter 376

Chapter 376 

Emmanuel swiftly plucked a few kiwis and, in their place, tied a 10–dollar bill. 

After all, these were someone else’s fruits, and he didn’t want to be a thief. 

Claudette couldn’t help but smile when she saw his actions. 

Soon, Emmanuel came back and wiped the kiwis clean using his body before 

handing them to Claudette. 

“Ms. Lenoir, I didn’t know today was your birthday, but fortunately, I still made 

it in time. Happy birthday!” he said earnestly. 

Claudette chuckled at his serious demeanor but didn’t accept the fruits. 

“What’s wrong? Do you find my birthday gift too shabby? Not as extravagant 

as the lavish gifts Mr. Magnus gave you? If you don’t want them, I’ll eat them 

myself!” Emmanuel said playfully and pretended to put the fruit in his mouth. 

Claudette quickly snatched them from him, not allowing him to take a bite. 

“Hmph, not sincere enough! At least peel the skin and feed it to me.” 

Claudette decided to push her luck. 

As Willow once said, a woman’s capriciousness was her most powerful 

weapon against men. 

Sure enough, although Emmanuel was a bit shy and embarrassed, he 

obliged. After all, it was her birthday. 

Seeing Emmanuel offering her the peeled fruit, Claudette took a big bite 

without any reservation and exclaimed, “Mmm, so sweet!” 

The princess of the Lenoir family couldn’t hide her joy and continued to push 

her luck. “Emmanuel, you haven’t sung me a birthday song yet. It’s my 

birthday today. Can I have a song?” 

“Alright, birthday girl. Your wish is my command.” Emmanuel nodded and 

agreed. 

Claudette thought he was just an ordinary guy who couldn’t sing well, but to 

her surprise, he not only stayed in pitch but also had a magnetic voice that 

captivated her. 

“I want to hear more. Sing another song for me!” Claudette kept pushing her 

luck, extending her hand to feel the chilly winter breeze. Suddenly, she turned 

back with a mischievous smile. “Emmanuel, it’s getting windy tonight. Can 

you sing ‘The Wind Rises‘ for me?” 

Emmanuel hesitated for a moment. “But I don’t know how to sing it!” 

He had heard the song before, but he didn’t have a habit of singing. Thus, he 

couldn’t sing it.

“I’ll teach you. Let’s sing it together!” Claudette insisted, determined to see it 

to the end. 

“Well…” Emmanuel felt a little hesitant, but when he saw Claudette raising her 

small fist, he had no choice but to gather his courage and say, “Alright!” 

“Hmph, if you’re so reluctant, I won’t let you off if you don’t sing it well!” 

Claudette continued while hitting his sturdy chest with her fist playfully. 

She was truly enjoying the atmosphere. Suddenly, she turned around, wiping 

away the nosebleed that kept trickling out! 

Oh God, please, make time slow down a little! 

Claudette silently prayed in her heart, then turned around again and 

proactively snuggled up to Emmanuel for warmth. 

“Ms. Lenoir, is your old illness acting up again? Your body is cold. Shouldn’t we
