Chapter 344
Several men even told Abellyn to look for them if she felt lonely at night. To
that, Abellyn scolded them and ran away while covering her face.
On the other hand, Emmanuel and Ryder couldn’t care less as to where
Abellyn had gone. Meanwhile, Claudette had contacted Jayden to file the
divorce. They had even prepared the evidence, for they made up their minds
to kick Abellyn out of the house!
After they had settled everything, Emmanuel drove the Ferrari and sent
Claudette home. “Thank you for today, Ms. Lenoir,” he said.
“There’s no need for such formalities, Mr. Lowe. After all, we are more than
strangers. If you want to thank me, why don’t we have lunch tomorrow?”
Claudette replied playfully.
“Oh, sure!” Emmanuel replied with a smile. However, he soon averted his
-gaze. He didn’t know what was going on between him and Claudette..
Whenever he felt they were getting intimate, he had a sense of guilt,
seemingly as if he had betrayed Mackenzie. Although Emmanuel knew he
shouldn’t have such thoughts, he couldn’t get them out of his head. Thus, he
decided to keep his distance from Claudette.
On the other hand, the smile on Claudette’s face slowly vanished. She could
sense an invisible barrier between them, yet she didn’t know how to make it
disappear.
Suddenly, Emmanuel’s phone rang. He looked at the caller ID and saw that it
was Roselynn. She told him to come back home since she would be visiting.
At that moment, Emmanuel immediately gave up on sending Claudette back
home. “I’m sorry, Ms. Lenoir, but I can’t drive you back home. Is it okay if you go
back on your own?”
Although Claudette was disappointed, she wasn’t upset. Instead, she smiled
and said softly, “You would be able to get home quicker if you drive the car,
Mr. Lowe. I’ll just call my driver to pick me up.”
“Are you sure?” Emmanuel wanted to refuse her. He wondered why he would
feel weird driving Claudette’s car when he didn’t have such feelings toward
Mackenzie. He wondered if it was because Mackenzie was his wife.

“Roselynn seems to be in a hurry to look for you, though. You can just return
the car after you’re done with it!” said Claudette. Then, she immediately
exited the vehicle since she didn’t want to hear Emmanuel refusing her again.
Emmanuel wanted to say something more, but Claudette had already left.
Since he could only park the car here for 30 seconds, he couldn’t exit the car
and chase after Claudette unless he was willing to pay for a ticket. However,
it wasn’t his car, and he was not one to trouble others, even if that someone
was Quintus. Thus, after some thought, Emmanuel drove the car away.
When Claudette saw the car leave, a glint of disappointment flashed across.
her eyes, and her smile disappeared.
Meanwhile, while one enjoyed the scenery on a bridge, someone else would
be watching from the tower above. One might adorn the bright moon
adorning their window, but they’d be adorning someone else’s dreams.
At this moment, Claudette didn’t know that a Lincoln was parked on the other
side of the road.
Inside the Lincoln, Gautier was here to pick up one of his friends from Zovince.
Soon, he noticed that his friend’s gaze was fixated on Claudette. Then, he
smiled and said, “Are you enjoying the view, Mr. Magnus?”
The man smiled and replied, “Yes. You know, I used to think any scenery
would be beautiful if you looked at it with adoration. However, I was wrong.
The most beautiful scenery is where your loved ones are.”

Hearing his words, Gautier laughed and said, “What a poet you are, Mr.
Magnus. Your speech is eloquent and filled with philosophy. Well, I’ll be going
now.”
The man nodded and exited the car as the servant opened the door for him.
Soon, he attracted the attention of many. After all, it was a Lincoln stretch
limo! Not many people were able to catch sight of such a vehicle in their
daily lives, so they wanted to see who the limo belonged to
