A Whirlwind Marriage with the Beautiful CEO novel Chapter 378

Chapter 378 

1 used to dislike birthdays because I hated the fake flattery and pleasing 

gestures that came with them. I like authenticity, so that’s why I enjoy 

spending time with you. To me, birthdays aren’t really anything special, but 

this time it became special because it gave me an excuse to take you away 

from Mackenzie. I’ve never had a boyfriend before because I have a deep 

yearning for romance and I won’t settle for anything less than perfection!” 

Thank heavens for letting me meet you. You know, before I met you, I 

despised my strange illness. It tortured me and constantly put the pressure 

of death on me. But after meeting you, I have to thank it because it brought 

me to you, my favorite person.” 

As Claudette spoke, tears streamed down her face, and the teardrops 

glistened like crystals as they slowly froze on her beautiful face. 

“Stop talking and let us go up first!” 

Emmanuel suddenly felt a heavy heart and even a sense of sadness. He had 

the feeling that Claudette was bidding farewell 

Although she was currently experiencing a medical episode and her 

condition was dire, he would never let anything happen to her. 

“Yeah, okay!”

Claudette wiped away her tears but smiled through them, saying, “Sorry, I just 

blurted out so much. It’s affecting my image. But the truth is, I said all of this 

because I don’t want you to feel pressured.” 

Emmanuel forced a bitter smile and nodded. 

However, he now felt immense pressure… 

He was getting to know Claudette more and more. 

She and Mackenzie were totally different. She didn’t have the ethereal aura of 

an otherworldly being; she was simply a down–to–earth woman. 

Even though she was born into a wealthy family and was the daughter of a 

general, when she interacted with ordinary people, one could feel her 

sincerity. Even her occasional tantrums seemed genuine. 

However, if one thought she was innocent, one would be mistaken. She had 

many hidden intentions, such as during the shooting game and tonight’s 

events. Everything was planned by her. 

Even Zovince’s prodigious Magnus was a pawn on her chessboard. 

Such a woman could have had more, but she chose a poor doctor like him 

without any regrets. How could Emmanuel not feel immense pressure? 

He didn’t want to disappoint such a woman, but deep down, he still cared 

about Mackenzie in his heart… 

At that moment, a beautiful firework appeared in the sky. 

Claudette’s face suddenly lit up. To her, there was nothing more romantic 

than seeing fireworks tonight. 

Watching fireworks with her beloved had always been one of her dreams. 

Emmanuel, on the other hand, was completely different. 

Because of his expertise, he understood exactly what those fireworks meant. 

Those were military flares and communication signals! 

In the next moment, Emmanuel suddenly tackled Claudette to the ground, 

and they started rolling down the slope frantically! 

Claudette’s heart suddenly raced violently.
