Chapter 375

“There are 30 seconds left!” Emmanuel’s words echoed, and the Rolls–Royce

crashed through the guardrail as it raced down a downhill road.

“20 seconds!”

“Ten seconds!”

Listening to Emmanuel’s countdown, Claudette felt her heartbeat accelerate.

However, surprisingly, she felt neither fear nor panic. Instead, she

experienced a thrilling and exhilarating sensation. This was the moment

when her heart raced the fastest in her entire life.

“Nine!”

“Eight!”

Closer.

Even closer!

Jame

Abandoning the countdown, Emmanuel shouted, “Claudette!”

“I’m here!”

“Open the car door!”

“Okay!”

Just as Claudette excitedly responded, Emmanuel threw the bomb down

and then embraced her, leaping into the grassy slope of the mountainside.

Thud!

The two of them fell heavily to the ground, but Emmanuel ensured that

Claudette wasn’t injured by protecting her with his body.

Boom!

From another direction, a deafening explosion shook the night sky,

illuminating it with a blaze of fire.

“This feels incredible!” Claudette exclaimed with excitement. Despite knowing

the danger they were in, she felt an inexplicable sense of comfort. She

willingly entrusted her life completely to Emmanuel, believing that as long as

she held him tightly, he would protect her.

Indeed, Emmanuel swiftly grabbed a rock with one hand, pressing it firmly

against the ground to increase friction and slow their descent.

Boom!

The bomb unleashed its secondary blast, filling the sky with another burst of

fire.

Claudette saw it as a commemorative firework, a celebration of her and

Emmanuel’s first tumble in the grass.

It was also the most mesmerizing cannonade she had ever experienced in

her 20 years of birthdays.

“Emmanuel, I’m not a princess. I just want to be your patient for a lifetime and

have you take good care of me!” Claudette quietly wiped away the blood

that had trickled from her nose and whispered against Emmanuel’s chest.

She wished for time to freeze at this moment forever.

However, like fireworks, happiness was fleeting. Emmanuel quickly lifted her

1. up. He did not even hear her murmured words.

“Ms. Lenoir, are you okay?” Emmanuel’s voice reached Claudette’s ears,

pulling her back from her dreamlike state to reality.

“I–I’m fine!” Claudette hurriedly tucked her blood–stained hand behind her

back and responded before continuing to descend into the valley.

“Hey, you’re going in the wrong direction!” Emmanuel shouted.

“Well, I just want to go in this direction!” Claudette replied, leaving Emmanuel

a bit helpless. He couldn’t help but think, women are truly incomprehensible

creatures in this life.

Worried about Claudette’s safety, he had no choice but to follow her down

the valley.

When he caught up to Claudette, he noticed that the young heiress was

fixated on the fruit trees at the foot of the mountain.

“Hey, Emmanuel, what kind of fruit is that?”

“Those are kiwis, I believe. They ripen in autumn and winter,” Emmanuel

replied.

Suddenly, Claudette turned back, blinked her star–like eyes, and smiled at

him. “You haven’t given me a birthday present tonight, have you?”

“Um, well…” Emmanuel hesitated for a moment, already guessing what was

on her mind, and nodded. “Okay, just wait here!”
