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, udette felt her heartbeat elerate.
However, surprisingly, she felt neither fear nor panic. Instead, she
experienced a thrilling and exhrating sensation. This was the moment
when her heart raced the fastest in her entire life.
“Nine!”
“Eight!”
Closer.
Even closer!

Abandoning the countdown, Emmanuel shouted, “udette!”
“I’m here!”
“Open the car door!”
“Okay!”
Just as udette 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
udette wasn’t injured by protecting her with his body.
Boom!
From another direction, a deafening explosion shook the night sky,
illuminating it with a ze of fire.
“This feels incredible!” udette eximed with excitement. Despite knowing
the danger they were in, she felt an inexplicable sense offort. She
willingly entrusted her lifepletely 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 st, filling the sky with another burst of
fire.
udette saw it as amemorative 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!” udette 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
up. He did not even hear her murmured words.
“Ms. Lenoir, are you okay?” Emmanuel’s voice reached udette’s ears,
pulling her back from her dreamlike state to reality.

“I–I’m fine!” udette 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!” udette replied, leaving Emmanuel
a bit helpless. He couldn’t help but think, women are truly iprehensible
creatures in this life.
Worried about udette’s safety, he had no choice but to follow her down
the valley.
When he caught up to udette, 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, udette 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!”
