Love at the Wrong Table - Season 4 Episode 77

“Now, as I journey through this world of mystery,

Captivated by its wonders, it’s all I long to see.

Unexpectedly, I stumbled upon your smiling face,

A beacon of light, a moment of divine grace.

I was once lost in the vastness of the world,

Indulging in dreams, my hopes unfurled.

Unbothered by truth or falsehood, I dared to be free,

Refusing to struggle, fearing no ridicule, you see.”

As Claudette sang, her smile became brighter and brighter.

But as Emmanuel listened, his sadness grew deeper and deeper.

No one in this world understood Claudette’s condition better than him. If it

weren’t for him, this heiress, who had captivated many men, would have died

long ago. Yet, even with his constant care, she still faced the threat of death

at any moment!

Tonight, she resembled a candle in the wind, ready to be extinguished at any

moment, yet she insisted on singing and staying here.

“Emmanuel, why aren’t you singing? Even if you don’t sing, at least applaud

me! Give me a smile!” Claudette suddenly looked up and gazed at

Emmanuel’s profile.

“I’m listening. Can’t I be your audience?” Emmanuel’s eyes stung with tears.

“No, I want you to sing with me!” Claudette pouted. She wanted Emmanuel to

step into her world, even if it was just for this one night.

Emmanuel couldn’t help but chuckle bitterly when he saw Claudette pouting

and her big wide–eyed expression. He also wished he could like this woman

who could be innocent and unreasonable at times. Unfortunately, he knew

very well that the one he liked was Mackenzie!

Feelings were something that couldn’t be forced, including his own.

“Ms. Lenoir, you are a young heiress. There are countless people who like you.

Why do you insist on choosing me to celebrate your birthday and sing with

you?”

“Hmph, Emmanuel, don’t change the subject. I’m in charge tonight.

Understand?” Claudette pouted, naturally tucking the strands of hair beside

her bangs behind her ears, revealing her clear and delicate features that

could break countless men’s hearts.

Noticing Emmanuel’s silence, she became angry. “I know who you have

feelings for. Whether I like you or not is my freedom, and it has nothing to do

with whether you like me or not!”

Emmanuel was speechless.

If it were anyone else who heard such a goddess speak like this, they would

be extremely proud and even show off in front of their friends. However,

Emmanuel was only perplexed and troubled. He was a commoner who had

gone on 18 unsuccessful blind dates, yet the heiress of the Lenoir family, who

had countless men infatuated with her in Yeringham, was so infatuated with

him.

If she had confessed before he met Mackenzie, perhaps they would have

had a different beautiful story.

“Hey, Emmanuel!” Claudette saw that he remained silent and continued

speaking.

“Do you know? Before I met you, I actually used to dislike celebrating my

birthday because whenever it was my birthday, I would think of my deceased

biological mother. So, there wasn’t much to celebrate. But this time, I put a lot

of thought into how I could make you accompany me on my birthday. I even

considered Magnus‘ actions! If it weren’t for him, we wouldn’t be here; just the

two of us in this place!”

At this point, Claudette giggled secretly. “Hehe, I’m such a scheming girl, huh?

Anyway, I don’t care. I finally fulfilled my wish. These kiwis you brought me are

the best gift I’ve received in years!”

Finally, Emmanuel lowered his head and looked at Claudette’s clear and

innocent smile, feeling a mix of emotions in his heart.

This heiress was truly different from other young ladies.

She was understated, innocent, and fearless in her emotions!

That was why Emmanuel felt immense pressure. She was trying her best to

spend her birthday with him, and if he brushed her off, how could he live with

himself?

“Hey, Emmanuel!”

It was as if Claudette knew what he was thinking, and she continued with a

smile. “Don’t overthink it, Emmanuel. When you’re with me, please don’t feel

any pressure. Okay?“
