Mistaken Match: Marrying the Enigmatic CEO by Ruby Fennimore

Chapter 199
“Your medical skills are really remarkable when you know both traditional
and modern medicine, Dr. Lowe! Even many veteran doctors are not your
match! Why did you decide to be a gynecologist?”
In truth, Claudette had wanted to ask that question a long time ago.
Besides the fact that Emmanuel was tall, dark, and handsome, she found him
different from other men because he emanated a mysterious aura. Like a
storybook, he riveted her interest.
“You flatter me, Ms. Lenoir.”
Alas, Emmanuel merely brushed it off without replying to her question.
The reason had something to do with his retirement from the military in
Northern Region, but he did not want to tell anyone about it.
Perceiving that he did not want to answer, Claudette tactfully gave up
pursuing the matter further. Since she already had him look her over and had
no other business there, she could only get to her feet and leave.
When she reached the door, however, she could not help glancing back over
her shoulder. “Are you free this Saturday, Dr. Lowe?”
Frederick was right outside the door, pretending to be busy. In reality, he was
secretly watching Claudette pursue his best friend.
Tsk, tsk, I always thought that she was reserved. Unexpectedly, she’s so

blatant this time! Is she openly asking a married man out?
“Sorry, Ms. Lenoir, but I have a prior engagement this Saturday. I’m going for a
laser tag game.”
“Oh, I see.”
Claudette feigned disappointment despite actually having known about it.
She then added, “I also love playing such a recreational game. Do you mind
bringing me along, Dr. Lowe?”
“Uh, I’ve got to ask the person organizing things first.”
“Sure. Thank you!”
“No problem!”
Finally, Claudette left.
Emmanuel promptly texted Beatrix, asking whether he could bring another
person. Naturally, his request was approved.
In fact, Beatrix furtively snickered.
Well, Claudette is really daring! She knows full well that Manuel is married, yet
she’s still throwing herself at him like a moth to a flame. While she looks
innocent and shy, she’s surprisingly bold in love!
Conversely, Emmanuel did not give the matter much thought after it had
been settled. Being a dense man, he never bothered to postulate about
women’s intentions. Of course, his wife was the exception to that.

After getting off work at the hospital, he went to Terence Group’s
headquarters as usual.
Mackenzie had to attend a social event that night and did not need him to
pick her up, so he went home alone when he finished his part–time job.
He was not a permanent employee of Terence Group yet. As such, he was
not allowed to enter the office. Part–timers usually worked at night without
any opportunity to interact with resident staff. Thus, he had no way of seeing
his wife during working hours.
As he drove past an intersection, his Maserati was abruptly stopped by a
Land Rover.
Hmm, this Land Rover looks somewhat familiar. Doesn’t it belong to Quintus?
Did he seek me out for something or other? But on second thought, I rode an
electric bike back then. Hence, it makes no sense for him to know that this car
is mine.
“I’ve waited for you for an eternity, Ms. Quillen! You claimed to have a social
event, but...”
Quintus climbed out of the Land Rover with a smug expression on his face,
mistakenly assuming that he had successfully intercepted his goddess,
Mackenzie.
Ah, such a game is thrilling to the core!

But upon making out the man in the driver’s seat, he was wholly stunned.
“How could it be you, buddy?”
Emmanuel was likewise amused. “Exactly! I also found it strange that you
recognized my car!”
At that, Quintus guffawed. “Why does your car look so much like my
woman’s?”
Seizing advantage of that opportunity, Emmanuel ventured, “Your woman?
You look pretty successful, Mr. Lenoir. Your woman must be something else,
huh?”
“Haha, but of course! My woman is the most beautiful lady in Yeringham, the
heiress of the Quillen family!” Quintus declared proudly.
“Oh, I see!” Realization dawned upon Emmanuel, but a hint of dubiousness
showed in his eyes. “But I heard from my sister that she’s high and mighty.
That aside, it’s rumored that she has never been in a relationship. Some even
say that she’s a lesbian?”
“Haha, those are all baseless rumors! I’ll bag her sooner or later! At that time,
I’ll introduce her to you!” Quintus proclaimed confidently.
“Sure!”
Emmanuel was not rolling with the punches to say that. He had long since
wanted to have a look at the heiress of the Quillen family and see whether

her beauty really surpassed that of his wife.
