Baron Lawrence tightened his grip on the clothes in his hand, and his deep eagle-like eyes seemed like they were about to suck her in¡ª
Suddenly, he looked outside and asked an irrelevant question, ¡°Enna, is there a ce outside that sells the kind of rice you took me to eatst time?¡±
¡°Last time?¡± Enna thought about it and recalled something, uncertainly saying,
¡°You mean Pineapple Rice?¡±
¡°That¡¯s the stuff.¡¯
¡°There should be, but I¡¯m not sure.¡±
Outside was the Pedestrian Street, where there was an alley filled with many snack stalls.
But whether they had Pineapple Rice or not, she really wasn¡¯t sure.
Baron Lawrence lifted his chin andmanded forcefully, ¡°I¡¯m hungry, help
me buy a serving to bring over, I want to eat!¡±
Enna was stunned, ¡°Now?¡±
¡°If not now, then when?¡±
Without waiting for Enna to refuse, he pushed and pulled her out of the store, ¡°Go buy it and bring two servings back.¡±
¡°Um¡¡± Enna had no choice but to follow his instructions and head towards the alley.
Baron Lawrence watched her walk away until her figure disappeared around the corner. Suddenly, he turned around, his expression changing from warm and gentle to proud and arrogant. Squinting his eagle-like eyes, he looked at the bossdy, ¡°What did she just say to you?¡±
¡°What just now? We didn¡¯t say anything.¡± The bossdy was confused by his question.
He impatiently reminded her, ¡°When you introduced those couple outfits to her, she said something to you. Then you suddenly didn¡¯t want to sell them.¡± Oh, so he wanted to know what his girlfriend had said.
The bossdyughed, ¡°The beautiful woman said you don¡¯t like that style of clothing, so she asked me to find a good quality, simple and elegant style for you.¡±
She continued, ¡°Most girls like matching outfits and usually don¡¯t bother to ask their boyfriends¡¯ opinions. But the beautiful woman considers your preferences first because she must really like you. Handsome Guy, you¡¯re really lucky to have a girlfriend who loves you so much.¡±
Baron Lawrence was pleased with her words, his thin lips curving into a smile. He asked the bossdy to bring out the couples¡¯ outfit without even bargaining the price, and bought it directly.
He was so straightforward and generous that the bossdy was naturally overjoyed. She immediately wanted to help him pack the clothes.
Baron Lawrence was faster, taking both sets of clothes and putting them on the side cab. Then he reached out to the bossdy, ¡°No need, just give me the bags.¡±
¡°Oh, okay.¡± The bossdy handed him the bags, curious as to what he was going to do..

He carefully folded the ck thin sweater Enna bought for him and put it in the bag with great care. It was as if he wasn¡¯t packing a sweater, but something more extraordinary.
After packing the sweater, he ced it on the counter and casually picked up the matching men¡¯s outfit, smirking. ¡®We¡¯ll change into theseter.¡±
¡°Ah, okay.¡± The bossdy didn¡¯t expect him to say that and was caught off guard. In her heart, she became even more envious of Enna. Seeing Baron Lawrence¡¯s generosity, she smiled and called out, ¡°Handsome Guy, since the beautiful woman won¡¯t be here for a while, why don¡¯t you take a look around the store and see if there¡¯s anything you like?¡±
¡°Everything in our store is popr among young people. You have such a handsome face and a good figure, I¡¯m sure you-Il look good in anything.¡± She paused for a moment, then added shrewdly, ¡°Even if you don¡¯t buy anything for yourself, you can buy something for the beautiful woman. Look, she just bought you a piece of clothing.¡±
Usually, Baron Lawrence wouldn¡¯t spare her a nce. But now he was in an
exceptionally good mood. Plus, the bossdy¡¯s words just happened to tter him, so he found her very likeable at the moment. He actually gave her a friendly look, nodded, and agreed. ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll take a look.¡±
¡°Great, you go ahead and choose, Handsome Guy. The beautiful woman will definitely be happy.¡± The bossdy kept buttering Enna up with sweet words.
Baron Lawrence scanned the clothes in the store but didn¡¯t find anything that caught his eye.
Suddenly, his gaze fell on a cab in the corner. He reached out his hand and pointed to it. ¡°What¡¯s that?¡±
Following his finger, the bossdy said with a sudden realization, ¡°Oh, those are some small essories. Nes, rings, and such. All made of sterling silver. Are you interested, Handsome Guy?¡±
Silver rings?
Baron Lawrence¡¯s eyes flickered, and he walked over with his long legs.
As expected, the rectangr ss cab disyed many silver rings, silver earrings, and silver nes. He immediately noticed an unassuming pair on the far left.
¡°Help me take them out.¡±
¡°The left one? Alright.¡±
The bossdy found the key, opened the ss window, and took out the pair of rings on the far left.
Baron Lawrence picked up the female ring and examined it.
The bossdy took the opportunity to promote it. ¡°Handsome Guy, you have excellent taste. This couple¡¯s silver ring is the only one of its kind in the city. You won¡¯t find anyone else wearing the same one. Besides, the ring is 999 sterling silver, which won¡¯t rust or fade, and it has a generous design. It will look good with any outfit.¡±
In reality, this silver ring wasn¡¯t as great as the bossdy described. Its generous design equated to simplicity, and it was the only one in stock because it didn¡¯t sell well.
Baron Lawrence wasn¡¯t even listening to her.
He also wore a ring on his ring finger, one with a simrly simple and generous design. Because of how it looked on his hand, many people thought it was expensive. In fact, Enna had bought the ring for 22.5 dors at a roadside stand in Pacifica.
The female silver ring he held now somehow coincidentally resembled the one he was wearing in terms of design.
He imagined Enna¡¯s slender fingers adorned with a simr ring, and his chest suddenly filled with warmth. He made up his mind on the spot.
¡°I want this one.¡±
ncing at the male ring left on the ss window, the bossdy reminded him, ¡°Handsome Guy, these are a pair. You¡. only buying the female one, what about the male one?¡±

Trantor: 549690339
¡°Why don¡¯t you buy both then?¡±
Baron Lawrence nced at her with raised eyebrows.
True.
If only one was purchased, and the men¡¯s style remained here, it might be bought by another man. Then, Enna would have to wear a couple¡¯s ring with a different man.
As soon as he thought of Enna possibly wearing a couple¡¯s ring with another man, he changed his mind, grunting in agreement with the bossdy.
The bossdy happily collected the money.
At this time, Enna returned with the Pineapple Rice in hand.
As soon as she entered, she shouted, ¡°Baron Lawrence, I got the Pineapple Rice you wanted.¡±
He quickly threw the men¡¯s ring into his bag, looked up, and cast his gaze towards the blushing little woman. The corner of his mouth hooked up and he gestured her closer, ¡°Come here.¡±
Enna walked over, confused, her cheeks flushed. ¡°Here¡¯s the Pineapple Rice. Eat it while it¡¯s hot. I ran to buy it, so it¡¯s still hot.¡±
¡°Put the food on the counter first and then hold out your hand. I have something to give you.¡±
¡°What is it?¡± Enna was very puzzled but put the Pineapple Rice on the counter nearby as instructed, and held out her hand. ¡°What is it, being so mysterious?¡±
¡°Left hand.
¡°¡Oh.¡± Enna switched to her left hand, her head tilted with curiosity.
The cold man grabbed her hand, bowed his head, and Enna couldn¡¯t see what he was doing. All she felt was an icy sensation on her ring finger.
After a moment, Baron Lawrence released her hand, and Enna discovered an additional ring on her finger.
The silver ring shimmered brilliantly in the sunlight, looking incredibly beautiful.
While she was still stunned, the elegant man grabbed her small hand in his, and their two simr silver rings seemed to be a perfectly made pair, shining brightly.
¡°You gave me a ring in Pacifica; now, I¡¯m giving you one too. Enna, don¡¯t ever take it off.¡±
Surprisingly, he didn¡¯t demand this in a domineering manner.
Instead, he gently asked not to take it off.
This feeling was like a lion yawning in front of you, which was somehow chilling.
Baron Lawrence waited a while, but she still seemed to be unresponsive, showing no gratitude or joy. Instantly, his chest tightened, and he found it hard to breathe.
Did this woman have any emotional intelligence at all!
Her boyfriend was giving her a present, a ring no less. Shouldn¡¯t she react more happily?
What did her cautious and puzzled expression mean?
He was giving her a ring, not handcuffs. It couldn¡¯t possibly eat her, could it?!
¡°Don¡¯t you have anything you want to say to me?¡± His tone suddenly hardened.
Want to say? Enna came back to her senses and saw his slightly displeased expression. Startled, she reflexively blurted out, ¡°I know! I definitely won¡¯t take it off.¡±
¡l¡± That wasn¡¯t what he wanted to hear!
He was giving her a gift, and why was her response like she had received a bomb, executing her orders with a small reaction!
Baron Lawrence¡¯s face turned livid from giving a simple gift, and he grabbed the women¡¯s couples¡¯ outfit from the counter, shoving it roughly into Enna¡¯s arms. With a menacing tone, he ordered, ¡°Go and change into this!¡±
Enna, caught off guard and not quite understanding why he was unhappy again, looked down and asked, ¡°What¡¯s this¡?¡±
On closer inspection, wasn¡¯t it the couple¡¯s outfit that the bossdy had introduced earlier?
She suddenly understood and looked up. ¡°So, you bought this?¡±
Having seen many young couples bicker before, the bossdy sensed the slightly awkwvard atmosphere between the two. Quickly, she intervened with a smile, trying to smooth things over. ¡°That¡¯s right, Handsome Guy wanted to give Beautiful Woman a surprise and bought these clothes. Beautiful Woman, why don¡¯t you try them on in the fitting room? I think they would look great on you..¡±

Trantor: 549690339
¡°Alright, I¡¯ll give it a try. But if it doesn¡¯t look good, you guys better notugh at me.¡±
Baron Lawrence was buying her a gift, and it wasn¡¯t something outrageously expensive that she couldn¡¯t afford. Enna rk was very pleased. She cheerfully carried the clothes into the fitting room.
She had just begun to unbutton her shirt.
Suddenly, the door to the fitting room was opened from the outside.
A tall figure abruptly pushed his way in.
¡°Baron¡Baron Lawrence¡why¡why did youe in?¡± She was so startled that she even forgot to cover her chest. Her hand reached out to push him. ¡°Out, get out now.¡±
Her defensive movements only entuated the contours of her chest, making it more attractive. Baron Lawrence¡¯s gaze darkened and his breathing became heavier. He turned around, locked the door of the fitting room, stretched his arm out, and trapped the struggling woman between him and the wall.
He leaned in, silencing her chattering mouth with a kiss!
The kiss was gentle yet fierce. Enna was overwhelmed by his expert technique. Her cheeks flushed a deep pink and her body became so weak that she had no choice but to hang onto his neck.
¡°Ummm¡¡±
She felt his domineering tongue invading her mouth, iming every bit of sweetness from within. Recognizing that Enna was unable to resist, he deliberately yed with her sweet tongue, despicably bringing it into his own mouth as if he was a skilled hunter leisurely enjoying his meal.
Enna¡¯s hands and feet felt limp, and her cheeks were burning hot.
She didn¡¯t forget that the bossdy was still outside. The bossdy must have seen Baron Lawrence following her in, she couldn¡¯t even imagine what she was thinking.
And here they were in a clothing store where anyone could walk in to try on clothes at any moment¡ªif someone stumbled upon them¡
Just the thought of it made her face heated, all the way from her earlobes to her neck. Her skin also naturally turned a slight pink due to her body¡¯s reaction.
With a soft and fragrant woman in his arms and the unique scent of a woman filling his nostrils, any man who could still hold back simply wasn¡¯t considered a man!
Just as he was about to make a move, he pulled at the wound on his waist. He grunted softly, reminding himself of Adam Sinir¡¯s warning.
¡ªDon¡¯t engage in any strenuous activities before the wound scabs over again. Remember, physical intimacy is also considered a strenuous activity! If the wound breaks open again, I¡¯ll have no choice but to operate on it. You know there will be a recovery period after the surgery. It won¡¯t be a matter of just a month or two!
His eagle-like eyes suddenly darkened!
He forcefully suppressed the rising desire within his lower abdomen! Breathing heavily, he let go of the woman in his arms. He lowered his voice, sounding hoarse, ¡°Don¡¯t move, wait for it to subside!¡±
What ¡®it¡¯ referred to was clear enough.
Enna, her face bright red, didn¡¯t dare make a move, quietly waiting for the thing pressing against her thigh to subside.
Fortunately, it rose quickly and also subsided quickly.
In the blink of an eye, it had already subsided.
The fact that ¡®it¡¯ had subsided did not mean his desire had also subsided. A man inmed with desire, yet unable to release it, was actually in a state of unbearable frustration.
He bowed his head and kissed Enna¡¯s flushed lips.
Then he grabbed her left hand and kissed her ring finger. The warm touch of the ring finally helped him suppress the restless me in his heart.
However, with the woman he desired right in front of him, so tempting, he couldn¡¯t guarantee that he would always be able to maintain his sanity.. He tightened his facial muscles, his jaw twitched slightly, ¡°Change your clothes!¡±

Seeing the burning mes in Baron Lawrence¡¯s eyes finally cooling down, Enna rk put her tense heart at ease. Not daring to tell him to leave any longer, she stood there awkwardly with the clothes in her hands, not knowing how to change.
How was she supposed to change?
She couldn¡¯t possibly strip naked and change clothes in front of him, could she?
But if she didn¡¯t undress, she couldn¡¯t put them on either.
The cold and stern man seemed not to notice her awkwardness, nonchntly lifting his shirt, revealing the bandages on his waist and his beautiful abdominal muscles before removing it. Then his left hand fell on the zipper of his pants¡
The fitting room was tiny, and in such a cramped space, it was hard for Enna not to notice the man in front of her. Her eyes uncontroblynded on his beautiful abs, and as ifmitting a crime, hastily looked elsewhere.
Just as she had averted her gaze, her chin was mped by someone, forcibly turning her head back.
¡°Enna, look at me!¡±
¡°¡¡± What was she supposed to look at? Him undressing? Her ears were turning red.
Baron Lawrence didn¡¯t seem to think there was anything strange about his request. With his deep eyes, he lowered his head and said, ¡°I like it when you look at me.¡±
¡°So, Enna, look at me!¡±
His voice was low and husky, incredibly sexy.
It was as if Enna were bewitched, her eyes involuntarily drawn back to him. She watched as he unzipped his pants naturally, revealing his long, straight legs right in front of her.
Baron Lawrence was indeed as he said, showing no shyness at all. It seemed he really enjoyed her watchful gaze, boldly disying his body for her to see! It wasn¡¯t enough just to watch, he even grabbed Enna¡¯s hand and ced it on
nis chest so she could reel his heartbeat, ¡°can you near It¡¯s nappy.¡± Can you hear it? It¡¯s happy!
Enna¡¯s heart was pounding, pounding so hard it was about to shatter her eardrums!
Baron Lawrence wasn¡¯tpletely naked; he was still wearing his boxer briefs. It wasn¡¯t her first time seeing a man wearing only his underwear. After all, she¡¯d seen men on the sports channel and at the beach wearing just swimming trunks.
She¡¯d never felt anything special about seeing men like that before, but this time, Enna couldn¡¯t control her racing heartbeat.
She really felt like she had been bewitched.
¡°Do you like it?¡± At this moment, the male enchantress had to ask her this question.
By the time Enna had regained herposure, her mouth had already blurted out, ¡°Yes.¡±
As soon as the words escaped her lips, she wanted to p herself!
Dammit, she was actually touching a man¡¯s chest while giggling and eximing her approval. She was such a lovesick fool! So shameless!
Her cheeks were burning hot, but Baron Lawrence was in a great mood. Laughter rolled in his throat, his chest heaving. Enna¡¯s hand felt like it had been scalded, and she quickly withdrew it without thinking.
¡°I¡ I meant the weather is perfect today. I just love this kind of weather ¡ª bright and beautiful, with birds chirping and flowers blooming. The urban environment is really nice now. We should protect the environment for the sake of blue skies. Uh¡¡±
What should she do? She was running out of things to babble about!
Baron Lawrence curled his thin lips, utterly delighted, ¡°You¡¯re right, I should really take good care of the person who makes me feel like it¡¯s bright and beautiful, birds chirping, flowers blooming.¡±
With such a direct confession, Enna¡¯s throat tightened, her mind nk except for the heat.
Baron Lawrence pecked at the corner of her mouth once more, gracefully changed into his clothes, and turned to open the fitting room door. ¡°Enna, I¡¯ll let you off the hook today.. But you must change for me to see another time!¡±

Phew- He finally went out!
Enna rk immediately closed the fitting room door. This time she was smart enough to not only close it but also lock it from inside to prevent Baron Lawrence from barging in again.
After making sure the door was securely locked and couldn¡¯t be opened, she quickly changed her clothes, opened the door, and walked out.
¡°Beautiful woman, I told you that you both would look great in this couple outfit. Handsome guy and beautiful woman, they¡¯re perfect together!¡± The bossdy praised her sweetly while helping her pack her old clothes.
Enna was embarrassed by thepliment and looked around, not seeing
Baron Lawrence. She curiously asked, ¡°Boss, where¡¯s my boyfriend?¡±
¡°Handsome guy?¡± The bossdy pointed outside and said, ¡°He got a phone call and just went out.¡±
¡°Oh.¡±
¡°Here, these are your clothes.¡± The bossdy handed them over to her.
Enna took them, thanked her, and walked in the direction the bossdy pointed.
As expected, she saw the man making a phone call outside.
He seemed to have encountered something unpleasant, frowning deeply.
Enna stood several meters away, paying no attention to him. In a short while, Baron Lawrence hung up the phone, and with a sulky face, walked over to her.
¡°Let¡¯s go, get in the car.¡±
¡°Okay.¡±
Enna followed behind him.
Baron Lawrence opened the car door, put her belongings in, walked around to the other side, and got in. He stepped on the gas, and the car drove away¡
Outside the car window, the scenery on both sides rushed past.
Baron Lawrence¡¯s face was cold, and it was hard for him to hide his irritation. He was the first to break the silence, ¡°Enna, I may not be able to apany you this afternoon.¡±
She had already guessed it when he received the call.
She didn¡¯t think much of it and obediently nodded, ¡®You go ahead and do your thing. I¡¯ll go back to thepany this afternoon.¡±
¡°I have already asked for leave from your department. You don¡¯t need to go to thepany this afternoon. Go home and rest first.¡± A shadow shed across Baron Lawrence¡¯s eyes and disappeared in the blink of an eye,
Soon.
The car stopped at the neighborhood entrance.
Enna unbuckled her seatbelt and picked up her bag, ¡°I¡¯ll go first then.¡±
¡°Wait.¡±
She stopped, not knowing why.
The next second, her lips were attacked. After a stormy kiss, Baron Lawrence finally let her go. The cold aura surrounding him subsided a bit, and he hooked his thin lips, ¡°Wait for me toe back.¡±
¡°Uh¡ Okay.¡± Enna¡¯s cheeks flushed red, and she jumped out of the car like a rabbit, afraid that he would kiss her again.
Luckily, Baron Lawrence really had something to do and couldn¡¯t bear to part with her. He turned the car around, the Ferrari roared, and drove away¡
Enna watched the car drive away, then turned and walked towards the neighborhood¡¯s residential building.
As soon as she reached the entrance of the building, she stopped in her tracks.
Under the building, a Buick was parked quietly in the shade of the trees. The morose, handsome man didn¡¯t know how long he had been waiting there, as if he wanted to blend in with the scenery.
William Sullivan?
Why was he here?
At the same time Enna saw William, he saw her too. The sadness in his starry eyes dispersed like a tide, leaving only brilliance and joy. He tenderly called her, ¡°Enna.¡±
Since leaving Linton City, Enna hadn¡¯t seen him. She adjusted her mood and walked over, ¡°Mr. Sullivan.¡±
The joy of seeing her shattered with Enna¡¯s address as ¡®Mr. Sullivan¡¯.
The smile at the corner of his mouth froze, and his starry eyes were once again drowned in darkness, revealing a trace of bitterness, ¡°Enna, do you have to be so cruel to me?¡±
Before Enna could answer, he suddenly said, ¡°I¡¯m getting married.¡±
He paused, clenched his fist, and continued with difficulty, ¡°To Jasmine rk..¡±
Chapter 232 - 232: 232: What about Baron Lawrence, is there a need to discuss him?

Trantor: 549690339
Enna rk was stunned, she knew they were getting married and she had even received their wedding invitation. Did William Sullivane to find her just to tell her this?
Following the principle of avoiding unnecessary troubles, she still politely said,
¡°Congrattions.¡±
Her congrattions sounded like a sharp dagger stabbing into William¡¯s chest! His eyes revealed a pained expression as he grabbed Enna¡¯s wrist, seemingly using all his strength, and looked into her eyes, ¡°Enna, are you really congratting me?¡±
¡°Otherwise?¡± Enna twisted her wrist, frowning, ¡°Mr. Sullivan, please let go.¡±
William¡¯s grip on her wrist tightened, as if he was struggling to contain his emotions, ¡°I¡¯m getting married, and the person I¡¯m marrying isn¡¯t you¡
Enna finally understood. If it had been before, she might have felt a little sad. But now, she had truly let go.
What happened in the past is in the past.
She didn¡¯t want to keep dwelling on it.
Besides¡ Every time she saw William, she couldn¡¯t help but think about Cherysh Jordan.
Enna tried to pry his hand off her, while saying, ¡°William, we are history. Since you¡¯ve decided to get married, you should take responsibility for your bride. It¡¯s a man¡¯s basic duty.¡±
The word ¡®history¡¯ was especially harsh in William¡¯s ears. He pursed his thin lips and let out a self-mocking smile, ¡°So you really let go a long time ago, and the only one who couldn¡¯t let go was me.¡±
His words were deste.
Enna felt as if a heavy stone was pressed against her chest, suffocating her.
She believed that she hadn¡¯t done anything wrong to William five years ago, nor had she failed that nave rtionship! Why did Cherysh and William speak to her like this? As if she had let them down?
Enna¡¯s expression turned colder, and she emphasized again, ¡°Mr. Sullivan, please let me go!¡±
William noticed the change in her expression, and his bitterness grew worse. Coupled with some information he had recently uncovered, it felt like a zing fire was pressing against his chest, ready to erupt at any moment. He did not let go of her; instead, he tightened his grip, regardless of whether it would cause her pain, and said word by word, ¡°I just want to ask you onest question. If I had found out sooner that your grandpa was sick and needed money, and I helped you at that time, would we have broken up?¡±
If William had helped her at that time¡ Enna remembers Bobby¡¯s words, ¡°Mr. Sullivan, there is no ¡®if.¡¯ ¡®If¡¯ means something didn¡¯t happen. There¡¯s no need to discuss things that never happened.¡±
William¡¯s face suddenly turned gray!
He let out a lowugh, repeating Enna¡¯s words, ¡®¡±There is no ¡®if,¡¯ no need for discussion¡ ¡®
As he spoke, he suddenly pulled Enna¡¯s wrist and forcefully pushed her against the wall!
The aggressive scent of male hormones enveloped her! ¡°What about Baron Lawrence? Is there a need to discuss that?¡±
Enna suddenly raised her head, looking into his eyes¡ª
William was stung by her wary and alert gaze, his jade-like side profile tensed up, and the veins on his forehead bulged, ¡°Enna, I know you and Baron
Lawrence are together.¡±
Enna¡¯s heart was filled with shock, unsure of what William Sullivan intended by telling her all this.
She steadied her emotions, not replying, not asking, waiting for what he would say next..

¡°Did Baron Lawrence give you money?¡± William Sullivan¡¯s face was livid, as if he had been cuckolded!
As a matter of fact, William did feel as if he had been cuckolded.
Ever since he returned to the country and encountered Enna rk and Baron
Lawrence together at the airport, he couldn¡¯t shake this feeling off. Later, when Enna announced her marriage at the rk family home, he resolved to thoroughly investigate the matter.
The more he investigated, the stronger this feeling became.
Enna¡¯s eyes widened in disbelief, unable to trust her own ears! She thought that even if they weren¡¯t together, at least they were friends who understood each other. William actually questioned her like this!
William painfully pressed down on her shoulders, his cheek muscles twitching,
¡°How much money did he give you?¡±
¡°Is it a monthly payment, or a one-time buyout?¡±
He pushed her relentlessly, as if trying to force Enna to give him a number. Enna was almost amused by his anger. She retorted, ¡°What¡¯s it to you!¡±
She actually admitted to being a kept woman. Disappointment shed in William¡¯s eyes, making him even more furious. Suppressing his anger, he suddenly said, ¡°Whatever he gives you, I can give too! Enna,e back to me!¡±
Enna looked at him as if she was meeting him for the first time. With unknown strength, she pushed the man¡¯s hand away from her shoulders, raised her hand, and pped him across the face¡ª ¡®p!¡¯
William¡¯s head jerked to one side.
Enna gripped the strap of her bag tightly, her bright eyes colder than ever, her back straight, ¡°William Sullivan, you can¡¯t afford what he gives me! Even if you could, I still wouldn¡¯t want it! Don¡¯t evere looking for me again!¡±
With that, she turned and left.
William¡¯s left cheek burned with pain, but it was nothingpared to the pain in his heart.
She didn¡¯t want what he could give, did she?
Why not¡ just because of Baron Lawrence?
William leaned despondently against the wall, slowly sliding down. Gradually clenching his fists¡
It all came back to Baron Lawrence¡
Upstairs.
Enna entered her home, still fuming.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. After reaching the peak of her anger, she felt somewhat powerless.
She knew that William was just the beginning. Numerous ¡°William¡¯s¡± would question her true rtionship with Baron Lawrence, and some would use even more offensivenguage!
Enna put down her bag and sat on the sofa, taking a deep breath.
No matter what, since she had made amitment, she would face it bravely! Let them say what they want, as long as she had a clear conscience!
¡°Buzz¡¡±
Her phone in her bag began vibrating.
Enna took out her phone, and saw the words ¡°Maniac¡± jumping on the screen.
It was a text message.
Why was Baron Lawrence sending her a text? Hadn¡¯t they just separated?
Enna opened the message curiously.
¡ªI¡¯ve decided, I¡¯m stilling to your house for dinner tonight!
Enna¡¯s mouth twitched as she typed furiously on the screen, about to send a reply. But after some thought, she decided to call him instead.
It would be easier to exin over the phone. She dialed Baron Lawrence¡¯s number.
¡°Doo-doo-doo¡¡±
After more than ten rings, the call finally connected.
Knowing he was busy, she got straight to the point, ¡°Baron Lawrence, didn¡¯t we agree that you wouldn¡¯te over for dinner tonight?¡±
Is she so afraid of Bobby seeing him? Baron Lawrence sounded a little annoyed over the phone, saying bluntly, ¡°I just moved into a new ce, can¡¯t I visit the neighbors? Besides, I¡¯m just a dubious man now, not his dad! It¡¯s just dinner, not recognizing a rtive!¡±
The bitterness was so strong she could taste it through the phone.
¡°That¡¯s settled then, I¡¯lle right after finishing my errands. Gotta hang up now!¡±
After saying that, he didn¡¯t even give her a chance to refuse, hanging up the phone directly.
Overbearing to the extreme!

Enna rk didn¡¯t take his words to heart and didn¡¯t go buy groceries. Taking advantage of the rare free time, she went to do theundry at home.
Unexpectedly, at 5 PM sharp, the doorbell rang.
¡°Ding
Enna put down the clothes in her hand and called out to the door, ¡°Coming.¡±
¡°Ding
¡°Ding¡ª ¡°Ding¡ª
The doorbell was relentlessly ringing non -stop!
Who could it be?
Could it be that Darling was home from school?
Enna wiped her wet hands and opened the door.
An attractive, tall man instantly appeared before her. His more than 15 -dor striped T-shirt had the taste of an upscale bespoke design when worn on him. He looked like a male model of mixed descent on the runway! The aristocratic temperament was undeniably on full disy!
Baron Lawrence had reallye to visit her home!
Before she could say anything, the handsome man had already frowned impatiently, ¡°Enna, are you a snail? So slow! Even opening the door takes five minutes.¡±
Having said that, he swaggered into the house, took off his shoes, and changed into the matching men¡¯s slippers Bobby had bought one and gifted another.
The simple grey slippers fit his feet just right. There was a small gap between the hem of his pants and the slippers, exposing his ankles¡ªa sexy and tempting sight.
¡°Enna, pour me a ss of water.¡± He sat down on the sofa like a lord, ustomed to bossing people around. He turned his head, raised his hawk-like eyes, and casually asked, ¡°By the way, what¡¯s for dinner? I want to eat the pork rib soup you make.¡±
His demeanor was nothing like that of a new neighbor visiting the home across the street.
He clearly seemed like a domineering man returning home!
Enna snapped back to reality, closed the door, and walked to the sofa to pull at him, ¡°Baron Lawrence, why are you here? Darling will be home from school soon. Hurry back to your house¡¡±
Bobby would be home soon, and if he saw a strange man in their home, it would be chaos!
The man on the sofa didn¡¯t move an inch, but a trace of darkness crossed his handsome face. He grabbed her wrist and pressed his thin lips together, giving off an ominous feeling, ¡°Am I so unbearable to you?¡±
Enna knew his temper all too well.
She realized that her urgency earlier had touched his bottom line.
She pursed her lips and exined, ¡°I didn¡¯t mean that¡¡±
¡°That¡¯s exactly what you meant!¡± Baron Lawrence would never change his mind for anyone. He narrowed his hawk-like eyes and suppressed the storm within, ¡°It¡¯s only natural for me to see my son. I¡¯ve already agreed to take a step back.
What more do you want? In any case, I¡¯m having dinner here tonight!¡±
Enna knew she couldn¡¯t win against him today, so she resignedly bit her lip, ¡°We can have dinner, but let¡¯s agree on this first. You have to help out as my assistant. Otherwise, go back to your house and eat.¡±
¡°¡You want me to be your assistant?¡± Baron Lawrence couldn¡¯t believe his ears.
Was this woman insane?
Enna was resigned as she pulled her wrist free and said irritably, ¡°Yes, I want you to help as my assistant! Anyway, you can either do it or not. If you don¡¯t like it, just go home and eat by yourself!¡±
Now, they were in the process of trying to date, not in a master-servant rtionship like before.
She had to change some of his domineering habits; otherwise, she¡¯d be tormented to death if they actually got togetherter.
Baron Lawrence red with his hawk-like eyes and threatened, ¡°Enna, I¡¯m giving you one more chance.¡±
Enna wasn¡¯t afraid at all and crossed her arms over her chest, looking straight into his eyes without yielding, ¡°Even if you give me a million more chances, I¡¯d still say the same thing.. Either eat alone or help out!¡±

Did she eat the heart of a bear and the galldder of a leopard today?
He always said that women shouldn¡¯t be pampered, or they will be more and more demanding. Yet, Scott Harris kept nagging in his ear to treat her better in order to win her heart.
As a result, this woman was clearly the type who would climb onto the roof if not disciplined for three days. Treat her better, and she¡¯d immediately step on his head and act victorious!
It¡¯s a man¡¯s job to earn money and support the family, and a woman¡¯s task to cook and raise children.
She was not doing her own job well, but also forcing him to do it, which was no doubt a challenge to his dignity as a man! What was even worse was that her fierce appearance actually seemed pleasing to him!
Baron Lawrence¡¯s chest heaved dramatically, his eagle-like eyes harboring a stormy rage! However, Enna acted as if she didn¡¯t notice and impatiently asked, ¡°President Lawrence, have you decided? Are you going to help or not? If not, leave.¡±
Bobby wasing home soon, she needed to start preparing dinner¡
¡°I¡¯ll help!¡± It seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, sounding chilly no matter how you listened.
Enna didn¡¯t care, as long as he was willing to help, she grinned without any courtesy, ¡°We don¡¯t have many vegetables at home, so could you please go to the nearby market to buy some? I need tomatoes, beef, umm¡let me think¡¡± There was one more person for dinner today, so she needed to cook more.
She would make Tomato Beef Brisket, and then what?
Enna thought about it for a moment and said, ¡°How about this, I¡¯ll write a note for you, so it¡¯ll be easier for you to buy everything.¡±
She then went into her room to find some unused paper, writing down all the ingredients for tonight¡¯s simple dishes while brainstorming the menu. After listing the ingredients, she put down her pen, wondering how many vegetables were left in the fridge, and came out with the list.
¡°Here, don¡¯t buy too much.¡± Enna confidently handed the list to the man with a tense face. It was so natural as if she was not ordering the President to buy groceries but simply asking her boyfriend to do so.
Her naturally calm attitude soothed Baron Lawrence¡¯s discontent. He reached out, took the menu, nced at it and said, ¡°Buying everything on the list is enough, right?¡±
As he spoke, he took out his phone and dialed a number.
After 3 seconds, the call was answered.
Without even saying hello, he simply ordered the person on the other end, ¡°Go buy tomatoes, beef, ginger, ribs, corn¡¡±
He recited the list and, after that, ryed Enna¡¯smand to the person on the phone, ¡°Remember, don¡¯t buy too much! Hurry up and get over here after you¡¯re done shopping!¡±
After giving the order, he bluntly hung up the phone. His thick brows raised, and his sparkling eyes looked at her as if waiting for praise.
Enna stared at him wide-eyed, thinking that money and power are indeed dominant! She decided to give in and take out the mustard cabbage from the refrigerator, handing it to him, ¡°Do you know how to pick vegetables? Help me pick out this bag of mustard cabbage. I¡¯ll make stir-fried mustard cabbage tonight. I¡¯ll go and defrost the chicken wings.¡±
¡°Alright, stop nagging.¡±
¡® Enna, who was just deemed nagging, turned around without a word, took the chicken wings that Bobby loved from the freezer, and started to defrost them to make c chicken wings.
Fifteen minutester, someone actually delivered all the vegetables on her list, and Enna counted them. There was not even one missing, and all of them wererge and fresh.
She carried the vegetables over to the coffee table, wanting to see how Baron Lawrence did with picking the mustard cabbage.
As soon as she went over, she saw him throwing the fresh cabbage leaves into the trash can..

¡°Baron Lawrence, why did you throw away the leaves?
She put down the vegetable and looked, oh my God, he had tossed a lot. There were hardly any leaves left in the vegetable basket, all of them ended up in the trash can.
Baron Lawrence didn¡¯t think he made a mistake at all. He calmly looked up and said, ¡°That leaf was too dirty, there was soil on it.¡±
If she couldn¡¯t take him in a fight, Enna rk really wanted to pick up the vegetable basket and bash him on the head!
¡°It naturally grew in the soil, so of course there¡¯s going to be some soil on it, it would be strange if there wasn¡¯t!¡±
¡°Who told you that? Don¡¯t you know that scientists from Country W have long discovered the nutritionalponents in soil, and ording to thoseponents they created a nutrient solution. As long as the seeds are soaked in this nutrient solution, they can grow without any soil.¡±
Enna rk was so tickled by his absurd logic, ¡°Alright, let¡¯s say that leaf did have soil on it, what about the others? Why did you throw them away too?¡±
¡°They were too small, looked too old. Or the leaves were curled up, or there were insect holes on them¡¡± he unreasonably bit back, ¡°Enna rk, I hate to say this, but what in the world are you buying? Can¡¯t you look before you buy? You bring back all sorts of rubbish!¡±
Enna rk snatched the bag of mustard cabbage and didn¡¯t bother speaking to him anymore.
Baron Lawrence didn¡¯t expect such an attitude from her, even though he had already agreed to help.
All of a sudden, he wore an iron face, growling, ¡°Enna rk, what¡¯s your problem!¡±
Enna rk couldn¡¯t be bothered to waste words with him, she shoved the potatoes into his arms, ¡°I don¡¯t need you to pick vegetables anymore, but you should at least be able to peel, right? The knife is on the table, use that fruit knife there, help me peel these potatoes.¡±
Still unsure, she added, ¡°These are all fresh potatoes, the skin will easily peel off, don¡¯t end up peeling away the entire potato.¡±
Having said that, she picked up the bag and got busy inside.
Baron Lawrence, with a bellyful of rage, maintains his iron face. More than a few times he wanted to give up and leave the task. His expressions changed for a whole week, then his jaw tightened, and picking up the fruit knife on the coffee table, started peeling the potatoes¡
The speed of two people cooperating was much faster than one person working alone.
In the blink of an eye, Enna rk had the soup simmering in the pot. The c chicken wings and tomato beef brisket were also ready. She was just waiting for Bobby toe back to make his favorite boiled beef. She nced at the time and saw that it was already six o¡¯clock.
Bobby should being back soon¡
Speak of the devil and he shall appear.
The doorbell rang with a ¡®ding dong¡¯, and Enna rk¡¯s cellphone followed suit, and the call would of course be from their Bobby.
¡°He¡¯s here.¡±
She had just stepped out of the kitchen when the door was already being pushed open with a ¡®click¡¯.
¡°Woman, I¡¯m back¡¡± Bobby¡¯s childish voice came to an abrupt stop.
Enna rk¡¯s heart jumped, and she hurriedly rushed out.
Indeed, in the entrance hall stood two, one big and one small, staring at each other.
Bobby was sizing up the ¡®strange man¡¯ in the house with a displeased look, his tiny defensive spikes shooting up all over him.
Enna rk quickly intervened, ¡°Darling, you¡¯re back? Hurry up ande in to change your shoes.¡±
Bobby, with his Boonie Bears schoolbag on, first entered the house. While changing his shoes, he quickly noticed that Baron Lawrence had taken his precious new slipper, and anger shed in his phoenix eyes. But he hid it very quickly, and in the blink of an eye, he was back to his usual self.. Once he finished changing his shoes, he looked up at Enna rk and asked, ¡°Mummy, is this Uncle the same colleague you mentioned before who helped bring up the desk?¡±

He remembered this man. He had seen him with his telescope from the balconyst time!
At that time, he had asked his woman.
His woman adamantly denied having a rtionship with this man, iming he was a friend of a friend who had given her a ride home! As expected, he was too young to have believed her.
If he were really just a friend of a friend, why would he enter the house?
Moreover, without his permission, this man even wore his beloved slippers! More importantly, he smelled the same wild man scent on this man as thest time at home!
Enna didn¡¯t know that he had already been through numerous thoughts and, from the first meeting, hadbeled Baron Lawrence as an enemy. She was still thinking about how to get the two fathers and sons to get along better and slowly cultivate a rtionship. So when she heard Bobby¡¯s question, she immediately went along with it, ¡°Ah, yes, this uncle is mummy¡¯s colleague. He has moved to the house opposite us now, so if anything happens, darling, you can go to him.¡±
¡°Oh, so he¡¯s the uncle from across the street.¡± Bobby¡¯s tone was meaningful. He tilted his head, looking cute but hiding hostility, ¡°Hello, Uncle. My name is Tobias rk, and I am five years old.¡±
Baron Lawrence looked deeply at him, as if trying to etch his image in his bones. He rasped hoarsely, his thin lips curving, ¡°Hello, my surname is Lawrence.¡±
¡°Hello, Uncle Baron.¡± He thought it was like Wang! Dubious Man! The Dubious Man next door who specializes in stealing his women! Tobias remained expressionless, but secretly criticised him in his heart.
Although he was only five years old, he was more than that in terms of cunning. Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t have carefully arranged for Enna to be tricked into a date with Wyndham Howell.
After the greeting, he put his school bag on the sofa and urged Enna, ¡°Wom¡Mummy, I¡¯m hungry.¡±
Seeing their seemingly harmonious first encounter, Enna felt mostly relieved and said with a smile, ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll go make dinner. Would you like to watch TV with Uncle Baron for a while?¡±
¡°Sure.¡± Tobias agreed effortlessly. After agreeing, he didn¡¯t forget to ask Baron
Lawrence, ¡°Uncle Baron, will you watch Boonie Bears with me?¡±
¡°¡Alright.¡±
If Adam Sinir were here, he would be shocked to the point of dropping his jaw!
As far as he knew, Lord Lawrence only watched financial news and stock market news, or at worst, political focus news. It never urred to him that Baron Lawrence would ever watch a show like Boonie Bears!
Tobias didn¡¯t care what the wild man usually watched. He stepped on his oversized slippers, inserted the Boonie Bears tape, and turned up the volume. He sat down on the sofa, turned back and patted the seat beside him, beckoning, ¡°Uncle Baron,e sit.¡±
Baron Lawrence sat down.
The little Dumpling beside him was soft and cuddly, winning over half of his tenderness due to the stuffed Boonie Bears. His hard-lined features softened a bit.
Tobias stared intently at Boonie Bears, seemingly mesmerized. Suddenly, without turning his head, he asked, ¡°Is Uncle Baron my mom¡¯s colleague?¡±
¡°Yes.¡±
In a strict sense, he and Enna were colleagues too.
Tobias turned his face to look at him, a hint of cunning shing in his phoenix eyes. He blinked courteously and said, ¡°Oh, my mom bought a deskst time. Thank you, Uncle, for helping us bring it home.¡±
Baron Lawrence furrowed his brows as he finally remembered the desk in question. He nodded, his thin lips touching, ¡°You¡¯re wee.¡±
Tobias felt more certain in his heart.
His own woman did lie. That desk at home wasn¡¯t a prize from thepany¡¯s annual party at all.
Knowing his woman, she wouldn¡¯t have gone out of her way to buy a branded desk.. So, looking at it this way, both the desk and the silk four-piece set on the bed must be from Uncle Baron?

Bobby felt like a wolf was snatching away his own sheep right under his eyelids!
It was absolutely heartbreaking!
He had educated the woman for so long, told her so many times not to judge a man by his face. But in the face of beauty, she still couldn¡¯t hold herself back. The key point was, she even lied to him about it!
Tobias¡¯s little heart felt cold and bitter, just barely stopping him from gnashing his teeth.
It seemed he had to keep a closer eye on his own woman to prevent her from being deceived by men! This Uncle Baron was clearly a pretty boy, and his woman had a t chest and a t bottom, surely not enough to hold onto such a man. They were in the samepany, and if a female leader in thepany took a fancy to Uncle Baron¡¯s beauty, wouldn¡¯t it mean his woman would be mistreated to death?
Not to mention, he knew his woman very well. She was stubborn and obstinate. Otherwise, she wouldn¡¯t have raised him alone for so many years without seeking child support from his biological father.
Little Tobias, aka Bobby, was hastily thinking of countermeasures.
Suddenly, a bright idea shed through his mind. That¡¯s right, how could he have forgotten about his shameless, irresponsible dad!? He quickly interjected, ¡°It¡¯s a pity that my dad¡¯s on a business trip and not at home, or we wouldn¡¯t have to bother Uncle Baron.¡±
¡°Your dad?¡± Baron Lawrence raised his eyebrows. Didn¡¯t Enna say she hadn¡¯t mentioned him to her son?
Tobias nodded, with a puzzled look on his face, ¡°Huh, has Mummy never mentioned my dad to you, Uncle?¡±
¡°¡No.¡±
¡°Mummy really is something. Let me tell you, my dad¡¯s a Taekwondo expert, a ck belt! Taekwondo is very impressive, he¡¯s even won awards in the city¡¡± Tobias made up stories, praising his ¡°unseen¡± biological father to the skies,pletely ignoring the fact that just a while before he was cursing his own father in front of Enna for being shameless and irresponsible.
By the end of his speech, even he felt uneasy praising such a ¡°shameless¡± man, so he hastily added, ¡°If my dad were home, he¡¯d definitely have a lot ofmon topics to discuss with Uncle. It¡¯s such a pity that my dad had to go on an international business trip to serve the people, otherwise he could chat with
Uncle.¡±
¡°Serve the people?¡±
Tobias revealed an embarrassed expression, ¡°He¡¯s gone to Country W to help with the construction there¡ like¡ fixing toilets.¡±
Fixing toilets?!!
Baron Lawrence¡¯s left cheek twitched a few times before he managed a forced smile, ¡°Really?¡±
¡°Uncle, don¡¯t get me wrong. My dad doesn¡¯t have to fix toilets himself; he¡¯s the one directing¡ ¡®
That still makes him a toilet fixer! Baron Lawrence¡¯s face darkened like it was about to drip water.
Tobias misinterpreted his dark expression as realizing his woman was taken, so his mood instantly lightened, and suddenly asked with gentlemanly manners, ¡°By the way, Uncle Baron, do you have a phone number?¡±
¡°Yes.¡±
¡°Could you give it to me? I have a mobile phone too.¡± He took out his cheap phone from his school bag with pride.
Baron Lawrence gave him a phone number, which Tobias quickly saved in his phone¡¯s contacts. Then he put down the phone, beaming, ¡°Uncle, I really like you. I¡¯ll call you some other day, and we can y together.¡±
How could he be satisfied just verbally provoking him? To eliminate a potential enemy, he needed to put in more effort. After all, even he thought this man was handsome! His woman definitely couldn¡¯t resist! So, of course, he needed to kick the ball farther to make a difference!
Although Baron Lawrence instinctively felt that Tobias¡¯s liking for him was too sudden, he couldn¡¯t help but pat his head when he heard his soft, sweet voice and the likeness in his features to Enna. Smiling lightly, he said, ¡°Good, you can call me anytime..¡±

At this moment.
Enna came out with the dishes and saw the father and son happily chatting in the living room, feeling warm inside. She called out to them, ¡°Dinner is ready, you two can wash your hands and start eating.¡±
¡°Okay.¡± Tobias turned off the TV, jumped off the couch, put on his slippers, and went to wash his hands. As he reached the bathroom door, he didn¡¯t forget to call out to Baron trailing behind, ¡°Uncle Baron, hurry up.¡± The dinner atmosphere was harmonious.
More harmonious than Enna could have ever imagined.
After dinner, Baron had no reason to stay any longer, so he gave Enna a look that seemed to say ¡®I could eat you¡¯, and reluctantly left.
Enna watched him enter the house opposite, then breathed a sigh of relief and
closed the door with a click.
Turning her head, she saw Bobby on the sofa,ughing while watching Boonie Bears. She approached him and tentatively asked, ¡°Darling, what did you talk to Uncle Baron about just now?¡±
Tobias didn¡¯t even look up, ¡°We didn¡¯t talk about much, just some interesting things that happened in our kindergarten.¡±
Enna took a deep breath, sat down beside him, and was about to tell him about Baron¡¯s identity. She turned her head and pondered on how to start the conversation, ¡°So, darling, what do you think of Uncle Baron? You two seem to be getting along quite well, and I¡¯ve never seen you hit it off with someone like that on the first meeting. It seems you have a good impression of Uncle Baron?¡±
Tobias still didn¡¯t nce at her, picked up the remote control, and said casually, ¡°Not really. I don¡¯t think he¡¯s anything special.¡±
This answer was unexpected for Enna, ¡°Not really¡? Then, why did you talk so well with him?¡±
¡°He¡¯s a guest, right? And he¡¯s your coworker. Of course, I should be polite to him.¡± Tobias finished, turned off the TV, jumped off the couch, waved his hand handsomely, and left without looking back, ¡°Woman, I¡¯m going to my room to do art homework. You can have fun by yourself.¡±
As he reached his bedroom door, he suddenly turned back, his little face serious as he warned her, ¡°And also, woman, don¡¯t bring any strange men home without my permission next time. What if he robs and kills? You, a woman, will have yourself to me.¡±
Robbing and killing¡
Baron robbing her¡
What would he rob her of? Money? Don¡¯t be silly; if he had the time, he¡¯d rather take a nap instead.
But what on earth were they teaching in kindergarten? Howe Bobby, who¡¯s still so young, has such strong worldviews?
Just as Enna was about to speak.
The bedroom door mmed shut with a bang.
All the heart-to-heart talk she had prepared was stifled.
Damn, Bobby was too cunning. What to do if he refused to talk to her?
With a headache, Enna cleared the tableware, cleaned up the tea table after washing the dishes. Then she went back to her room, opened the wardrobe to find a change of clothes, and saw a pile of men¡¯s clothes hanging inside, arrogantly showing who their owner was.
Enna felt a throbbing in her temples, only then remembering that Baron had left some of his clothes at her ce the other day and hadn¡¯t taken them away. If Bobby were to see these clothes, there would certainly be a big fuss.
Oh well, never mind.
She would find another opportunity to talk to Bobbyter.
Enna sighed, squatted down, and found a loose T-shirt for herself before closing the wardrobe door. It was a case of out of sight, out of mind as she went to take a bath¡

After she finished showering.
The mobile phone casually thrown on the bed vibrated non-stop.
With a towel covering her wet hair, Enna rk picked up her phone. The moment she touched it, the hot body of the phone scalded her hand. She nced down, seeing the three characters ¡®maniac¡¯ wildly jumping on the screen. She didn¡¯t know which call this was¡
Enna hesitated for a moment but still answered the phone, ¡°Hello.¡±
¡°Hello, Enna rk, why aren¡¯t you answering your phone!¡±
A loud roar nearly shattered her eardrums! Enna moved the phone away from her ear a bit and exined, ¡°I was taking a shower, I didn¡¯t see my phone.¡± ¡°You didn¡¯t hear the ringtone either?¡± His tone didn¡¯t sound pleasant at all.
¡°I had it on vibrate.¡±
Enna sat on the edge of the bed, adjusted the volume, and switched on the speakerphone. Then she put the phone back on the bed and began drying her hair with the towel.
Thankfully it was on vibrate, otherwise her little brother, Bobby, might have answered the phone.
¡°What¡¯s up?¡±
This woman! Baron Lawrence really wanted to strangle her as he retorted back in a hostile tone, ¡°Can¡¯t I call you without a reason? Don¡¯t forget, I¡¯m your man now!¡±
¡°¡Just a boyfriend.¡±
Baron Lawrence was even more annoyed and strongly refuted, ¡°A boyfriend is still your man, in any case, you can only have me as a man!¡±
¡® How unreasonable. Enna was speechless, unwilling to argue with him anymore. She asked again, ¡°Baron Lawrence, what exactly do you want to talk about on the phone?¡±
This time, the man on the other side of the phone answered quickly, almost without thinking, ¡°Just chatting.¡± Chatting¡
¡°¡We just separated half an hour ago.¡±
¡°Can¡¯t it be a long time for me, then?¡±
Enna couldn¡¯t win against him. Who told her to choose such a domineering man? She epted fate, ¡°Fine¡±.
Both of them were silent for a while.
Enna couldn¡¯t find a topic to talk about, while Baron Lawrence was reflecting on whether his tone was too aggressive earlier.
After a moment, Enna was pondering how to break the silence.
A rustling sound suddenly came from the phone.
¡°Enna, I can¡¯t sleep without hearing your voice.¡±
Can¡¯t sleep without hearing her voice? Was he trying to exin?
Enna¡¯s heart softened, she pursed her lips and took the initiative to say, ¡°Well, would you like me to read you a book?¡±
¡°Okay.¡±
Since she said she¡¯d read a book, she at least needed to find one.
Enna searched her room and could only find a fairy tale book that she used to read to her little brother, Bobby, when putting him to sleep. She was a bit embarrassed, ¡°I only have Bobby¡¯s book at home, is that okay? If not, I can go to the living room and see if there are any newspapers or magazines.¡±
¡°No need to go look. It¡¯s fine.¡±
He just needed her voice. No matter what she said, it would be fine.
Of course, if he could have sex with her, his sleep would be even better!
¡°Really? I¡¯ll start reading now, are you ready?¡± Enna had no idea what he was thinking; if she knew, she definitely wouldn¡¯t want to continue reading.
¡°Yes.¡±
She spread the book out, found afortable position lying on the bed, and lowered her voice to read, ¡°Once upon a time, there was a young boy named ddin. His father had passed away, leaving only him and his mother together, living a difficult life.
One day, ddin met a mage. The mage imed he was the boy¡¯s uncle and wanted to take him to the capital to learn a trade. ddin believed him and listened to what the mage said¡.¡±

The night gradually set in, and the breeze gently brushed through the willow branches, their soft silhouettes dancing in the wind like graceful dancers, basked in the pristine moonlight that asionally passed through the window panes.
Inside apartment 602 of the Sereriva Residential Complex.
A man more alluring than the moonlight himself reclined on a deck chair on the balcony, a phone beside his ear, curving those thin lips of his as if he were listening to the most beautiful song in the world.
In front of him was a ss of Brandy, its iridescent hue tantalizing the eyes, telling it was no ordinary drink.
Baron Lawrence listened as the voice on the other end of the line gradually reduced to steady breaths, and finally lowered his arm that had been raised all night. He ced the mobile phone on the table, picked up the ss of Brandy, and took a dignified sip.
His throbbing temporal pain eased with each steady breath from the woman on the line, as sleepiness gradually overcame him.
He rose, took the phone, his long slender legs lonelier than those of a male model!
Just as he walked back into the bedroom.
Another phone rang.
Baron Lawrence¡¯s brows furrowed in an instant!
He quickly picked up the call, ced the phone that was in-call with Enna rk in his bedroom, closed the door, and walked out. Only then did he attend to the person on the other end of the line.
¡°Speak! ¡±
Adam Sinir let out a bitterugh and muttered with indignation, ¡°Lord, must you be so ruthless? When you couldn¡¯t sleep at night before, I used to keep youpany all night chatting. This is the first time I¡¯m calling youte at night, and this is how you treat me¡¡±
¡°Being ruthless means finding you something to dote at night to kill time, not listen to your nagging!¡±
For example, putting up for auction thend parcel that he had finally managed to acquire!
Adam, having learned from his past lessons, hastily interrupted him, ¡°Yes, yes, yes, my bad, Ick ideological awareness.¡±
Baron Lawrence sat on the sofa, poured himself a ss of water, rxed his brows, and asked, ¡°What¡¯s happened?¡±
He knew Adam, who might not seem reliable to some but was a steady man in the business world. If nothing was wrong, Adam wouldn¡¯t callte at night.
¡°I got dumped.¡±
He got dumped?
Baron Lawrence wanted to take back his words and should¡¯ve immediately hung up the phone, sent a text to Scott Harris to put thend up for sale!
¡°I was dumped by a woman, mercilessly! She didn¡¯t even give me any face,¡± Adam continued bitterly.
Baron Lawrence tried hard to suppress his impatience, ¡°Aren¡¯t you always being dumped by women?¡±
¡°That¡¯s different. I wanted those women to dump me on purpose. But this one,
I didn¡¯t even have that idea, and she dumped me.¡±
Worse than being dumped, she unted a handsome young man in front of him, and ruthlessly put a green hat on him. After provoking him, he went to her to confront her, but not only did he not get an exnation, she unterally broke up with him! What was even more unexpected was that the woman was serious, throwing all his clothes, books, and cups out.
He had been pondering all night but couldn¡¯t understand, feeling an unprecedented suffocation in his heart.
So, he made this call to Baron Lawrence.
Congrattions. Baron Lawrence said two words after he finished speaking, without moving even the corners of his mouth.
.Do you have to poke me right in the heart?¡±
Adam started to regret making this call, feeling even more agitated as he raised his head and downed the vodka in front of him.
¡°I told you not to mess around with so many women, but you never listened. Now that you¡¯ve met a woman who¡¯s just like you, it¡¯s a perfect opportunity for you to learn a hard lesson.¡±
He couldn¡¯t understand why anyone would want so many women, just looking at them annoyed him!
Not only were there too many but their quality was also poor.. None of them looked even half as pleasing as his woman!

Thinking of Enna rk, Baron Lawrence¡¯s entire expression softened.
Adam Sinir was even more upset by what he said. He rubbed his temples and said, ¡°Forget about it, let¡¯s not talk about me. I heard your mom visited yourpany today. How did it go? She didn¡¯t run into Enna, did she?¡±
The aunt he was talking about was Baron Lawrence¡¯s biological mother.
Because her identity was unclear, he didn¡¯t call her Madam.
¡°I agreed to her request, and she left on her own.¡± Baron Lawrence¡¯s tone was cold, as if talking about a stranger.
Adam Sinir had heard some gossip about his past in the circle and paused for a moment, ¡°As for Enna, do you n to keep dragging it out? When are you going to tell her that you are her secret husband?¡±
He also wanted to ask how he nned to announce this bombshell to their family.
It¡¯s fine that no one knows about their hidden marriage now, but once they know, it will cause a massive earthquake!
Baron Lawrence¡¯s temples throbbed, and he said in a deep voice, ¡°Wait a bit longer.¡±
Adam Sinir knew he had to consider many things and bnce many rtionships, so he didn¡¯t ask any further. Changing the subject, he said, ¡°Right, has your insomnia improved recently?¡±
Mentioning this, Baron Lawrence¡¯s tone turned icy cold, ¡°If it weren¡¯t for your nonsense, I would be asleep by now.¡±
¡°Is there anything else? If not, I¡¯m hanging up.¡± His patience had reached its limit.
Adam Sinir could hear how annoyed he was and didn¡¯t dare to provoke him further. He quickly said, ¡°No, no, you go to sleep. Good night¡¡±
Before he could finish his sentence, all he heard on the other end of the phone was a busy tone.
That was a bit too quick, right?
He held the disconnected phone and was speechless for a while¡
At 10 0¡¯clock the next morning,
Baron Lawrence was ying golf with the Cosmos Group¡¯s CEO when Scott
Harris quickly walked over. ¡°Lord.¡±
Baron Lawrence put down his golf club and nced back at him. ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡±
Scott Harris looked at the CEO of Cosmos Group next to him and whispered something in his ear. The always-arrogant man furrowed his brow, handed the golf club to a caddy, and said to the Cosmos Group¡¯s CEO, ¡°Mr. Thompson, I have an urgent matter to attend to, so I¡¯ll have to continue with you another day.¡±
Although the Cosmos Group¡¯s CEO didn¡¯t know what the urgent matter was, he said politely, ¡°It¡¯s fine, Young Master Lawrence, go ahead.¡±
Baron Lawrence didn¡¯t stand on ceremony and followed Scott Harris to the changing room.
As he walked, he took the phone from Scott Harris and called the number back.
The phone was immediately picked up, and a childish voice came from the other end, ¡°Hello, is this Uncle Baron?¡±
Who else could this voice be, if not Bobby?
Baron Lawrence changed his attitude towards Adam Sinir and grunted.
¡°Uncle, can you help me with something? I¡¯m in trouble and don¡¯t dare to tell my Mummy. Can youe to our kindergarten?¡±
What kind of trouble did he get into that he didn¡¯t dare tell his mother? Baron
Lawrence agreed quickly, ¡°Of course.¡±
¡°Great!¡± The little guy on the other end of the phone seemed very happy. He told him the address of the kindergarten and politely said, ¡°Uncle, don¡¯t rush, take your time, I¡¯ll wait for you. Bye-bye.¡±
¡°Bye-bye.¡± Baron Lawrence hung up the phone and handed it to Scott Harris nearby. He nced at him and said, ¡°You didn¡¯t say anything wrong when you answered the phone just now, did you?
¡°No, I told the Young Master that you were getting some documents and that I was your colleague who answered the call.¡±
¡°Hmm.¡±
Baron Lawrence¡¯s gaze shifted, and he coldly gave an order.
¡°Get the car ready.¡±
¡°Yes, Lord..¡±

Inside the South City Kindergarten teacher¡¯s office.
Tobias rk put his cell phone back in his backpack and said to their ss¡¯ Ms. Lulu, ¡°Ms. Lulu, my uncle will be here soon.¡±
He paused, blinked his luxurious phoenix eyes, gave her a suggestive look, and continued, ¡°By the way, Ms. Lulu, don¡¯t forget what I told you this morning.¡±
Lulu Kennedy looked at his beautiful little face with a headache, unable to scold him. When the words reached her mouth, they became a helpless, ¡°Fine.¡±
Getting the answer he wanted, Tobias sat back down on the sofa.
On the sofa sat a shivering little boy with bruises on his neck, looking extremely pathetic.
Tobias coldly nced at the crying boy next to him, then looked away, as if others couldn¡¯t enter his eyes at all.
Soon.
A morous woman rushed into the office frantically, shouting at the crying little boy, ¡°Lucas.¡±
The crying boy immediately stood up, cried while running over, ¡°Mom!¡±
Rhiannon only had this son, whom she didn¡¯t conceive until she was 39. Usually, she cherishes him like the apple of her eye. Afraid of it melting and breaking with a harsh word, she didn¡¯t dare to say anything. Seeing her precious son bullied like this, she felt so distressed that her makeup was about to fall off. She quickly squatted down, held him in her arms, and carefully checked him all over. When she saw the purple and blue marks on Lucas¡¯ neck, she could no longer suppress her anger. She stood up and yelled at the teacher, ¡°Ms. Lulu, what happened to our Lucas? Why does he have so many bruises?
Who hit him?!¡±
¡°Lucas¡¯ mom, don¡¯t panic, here¡¯s what happened. Lucas and another child from our kindergarten started fighting because of a verbal argument. It started because Lucas insulted Tobias rk¡¡±
Before the teacher could finish, she immediately interrupted, ¡°Impossible! I know my child, he wouldn¡¯t just randomly insult someone! It must be you teachers making things up!¡±
Feeling wronged, Ms. Lulu exined, ¡°Lucas¡¯ mom, we¡¯re not making things up, we found out the situation from the child and then informed the parents. If you don¡¯t believe it, you can ask Lucas himself.¡±
Rhiannon didn¡¯t care whether her son insulted someone or not. In her opinion, even if he did, it was at best due to the child¡¯sck of understanding. But hitting someone was wrong! If her son had been the one to hit someone, she might have understood it as petty fighting between children. But now that her son was the one being hit, she couldn¡¯t ept it!
She turned her head and fiercely asked the crying Lucas, ¡°Did you insult anyone?¡±
Lucas was the devil at home and lying had be a habit for him. In front of the teacher, he admitted to insulting Tobias, but as soon as he turned his head, he denied it, ¡°Sob¡ I didn¡¯t¡
¡°My son said he didn¡¯t insult anyone!¡±
¡°How could that be¡¡± Ms. Lulu panicked and quickly asked, ¡°Lucas, didn¡¯t you tell the teacher that you insulted Tobias by saying he had no dad? Do you remember?¡±
No dad¡
A trace of gloominess shed through Tobias¡¯s beautiful eyes!
He red viciously at the crying Lucas!
In fact, not only did Lucas say that he had no dad, but before that, he also toppled Tobias¡¯s castle and broke his water cup.. The reason Lucas did all these things was that he liked the idiot Rose Howell!

He originally had no intention of arguing with such an immature brat, but s, Lucas, who didn¡¯t know when to stop, had gone too far. He had dared to intercept him, saying he had no father, and even dared to insult his woman as a shameless disgraceful woman!
Furious at this, he hit Lucas!
However, this also provided a good chance to introduce the infamous ¡®Dubious Man¡¯ who lived opposite his house to Ms. Lulu, the Kindergarten teacher.
The idea that the annoying ball would soon be kicked out of his sight significantly brightened Tobias rk¡¯s mood.
Although Tobias rk was feeling better, Rhiannon was just the opposite. She screamed, ¡°Ms. Lulu, what do you mean? My son Lucas has already said that he didn¡¯t insult anyone. As a teacher, you¡¯re not controlling the child who¡¯s hitting others, but teaching my son Lucas to lie instead?¡± She also knew about Tobias rk.
The most beautiful little boy in the kindergarten.
What¡¯s more, she knew that this little boy had no father, she only ever saw his mother pick him up and send him off. Disparagingly, she added, ¡°Even if Lucas really said so, he was simply stating the truth, not insulting anyone.¡±
¡°However, Mrs. Lucas, these words can be very hurtful. They shouldn¡¯t be used towards ssmates.¡± Ms. Lulu disagreed.
Rhiannon was not convinced, ¡°My son is only five years old, what does he know? When I was five, I was still ying in mud at home. Did you know what would hurt others when you were five?¡±
¡°¡¡± Ms. Lulu was rendered speechless by her absurd reasoning.
¡°Anyway, I¡¯m not going to let it go today. Have their parentse? When theye, I want her to exin to me!¡± Rhiannonined bitterly, ¡°If you can¡¯t teach your child properly, take them home! Don¡¯t let them cause trouble in kindergarten! ¡±
The light at the office door was suddenly blocked.
The man at the door was handsome and impable, his sturdy legs were wrapped in straight trousers, his figure was broad and lean. He had striking features like a male model, yet his exquisite phoenix eyes exuded an extraordinary elegance.
As soon as he appeared, the temperature in the office seemed to drop about a dozen degrees.
The people inside could hardly catch their breath under his imposing aura.
Baron Lawrence immediately noticed Tobias rk sitting on the sofa. First, he furrowed his brow, but when he saw the wounds on Tobias rk¡¯s arm, caused by scratches, his handsome face suddenly hardened.
¡°What happened?¡±
His voice was deep and authoritative!
Not only Ms. Lulu, but even the previously arrogant Rhiannon was terrified by his question.
Who is this man?
Too¡ too¡ They couldn¡¯t describe what they were feeling, they just felt too intimidated to even look around the room.
Ms. Lulu told him what she had exined to Rhiannon earlier. And then, she said somewhat awlwvardly, ¡°It seems that Lucas¡¯s mother has some kind of misunderstanding and doesn¡¯t believe what I¡¯ve said. She insists that Tobias rk was the one who started to hit without reason¡Look¡¡¯
Baron Lawrence didn¡¯t bother to talk to her. His eagle-like eyes briefly swept over Rhiannon, as cold as an iceberg in Siberia, prating her heart.
¡°Apologize. ¡±
It was simple, crude!
Rhiannon was taken aback at first, then she snapped back to reality. Even though she felt chills down her spine, she forced herself to lift her head, ¡°Who are you? On what grounds do you ask us to apologize? The one who should apologize is Tobias rk. If he apologizes to my son Lucas and pays our medical expenses, this matter ends here, otherwise¡¡±
¡°Apologize.¡± Baron repeated the same two words.
Rhiannon did not expect him to be so domineering, which made her lose confidence. She stiffened her chin, forcing herself to throw out her trump card, ¡°My Uncle is the Deputy Director of the Municipal Education Bureau.. Believe it or not, with a single phone call from me, Tobias rk will have to drop out of school! ¡°

The cold man didn¡¯t even bat an eysh. He took out his phone and tossed it into her arms.
It was all done in one smooth motion.
Even though he hadn¡¯t said a single word, it was more powerful than a thousand words.
Lulu Kennedy, seeing the two parents at daggers drawn, knew that as a
kindergarten teacher, she had to mediate the situation. She stood in front of Rhiannon and kindly said, ¡°Lucas¡¯ mom, believe me, Lucas just admitted in the office that he insulted Tobias first. He also realized he was wrong¡¡±
What she meant was that both children were in the wrong. The reason she mentioned Lucas first was because he was the one who started it. But her words took on a different meaning to Rhiannon. Rhiannon¡¯s eyes widened in anger, and she yelled, ¡°Ms. Lulu, is this really how you¡¯re supposed to be biased? My son shouldn¡¯t insult people, but it¡¯s okay for his child to hit people?¡±
Lucas¡¯ mom, you misunderstand. That¡¯s not what I meant. Insulting people is wrong, and hitting people is, of course, even more wrong. I¡¯m just saying that Lucas did insult someone. Both children are at fault in this situation. We teachers called both parents here just to let you know about this situation and ask you to take your children home and have a good talk with them. There¡¯s no other meaning to it¡¡±
¡°You may not have other intentions, but I do!¡± Rhiannon grabbed Lucas, who only knew how to cry, pointed to his neck, and viciously said, ¡°Look at what my son¡¯s neck has been scratched into! And his face, look at it, one part blue, one part purple, and his mouth is swollen! Why should we just get him to take his child home and educate them? We have to bepensated!¡±
The more she talked, the angrier she got. After all, her son had been beaten like this at school. Why should they just let it go?
At the very least, they should pay and apologize. Why should they have to apologize, too?
¡°But Lucas also fought back¡¡±
Rhiannon angrily interrupted the teacher, ¡°Our Lucas was just defending himself! He was beaten, and our Lucas isn¡¯t a fool who doesn¡¯t Imow how to fight back!¡±
Lulu Kennedy had never seen such an unreasonable parent and couldn¡¯t help losing her temper. She replied, ¡°Lucas¡¯ mom, if you say that, I can exin why Tobias was fighting, too. Lucas insulted someone first, so Tobias could have been protecting himself. If he didn¡¯t fight back, he would be the fool.¡±
How dare you talk like that!? Rhiannon never expected a kindergarten teacher to talk back to her, and she was immediately furious. She grabbed the phone that Baron Lawrence had just given her and began dialing, ¡°I see what¡¯s going on now; your kindergarten is abusing children, and the teachers have no manners! You wait for me; I¡¯m going to have your kindergarten closed!¡±
Having said that in anger, Lulu regretted it immediately. She stood there helplessly, not knowing whether to apologize and lose face or not apologize and risk the kindergarten being closed down.
Without thinking, she looked to the side. The tall, handsome man stood there indifferently, sunlight casting on his sculpted features and creating perfect shadows. It seemed as if his cold eyes sensed her gaze, and he suddenly nced in her direction. His long, narrow phoenix eyes were half-open and half-closed, framed by lush eyshes, making his pupils as beautiful as glimmering, iridescent ss beads in the sunlight, priceless!
However, it was just a fleeting nce, and he immediately looked away.
Lulu Kennedy felt as if she had experienced heaven and then was plunged back to earth.. Her heart soared high and then rapidly fell!

Phew¡
She secretly let out a sigh of relief, lowering her head, afraid that someone would see her blushing cheeks.
This scene was capturedpletely by Tobias rk, who was sitting on the sofa.
His sly phoenix eyes blinked, and his mood instantly improved.
He thought he needed to put in some effort to y matchmaker, but it turned out that Ms. Lulu¡¯s face was already red, proving the charm of ¡®Dubious Man¡¯ was quite strong.
Chuckle, such a man who can seduce others just by looking at them is definitely not suitable for hisdy!
Baron Lawrence wasn¡¯t aware that Tobias rk was supporting him in this ce, as Tobias had already decided to kick this dangerous ball far, far away! If Baron knew about this, he would not protect the child in the presence of outsiders, but instead, give the child a good beating first!
At this moment.
Rhiannon had just dialed her phone to her uncle, the Deputy Director of the
City Education Bureau. The phone rang twice before being picked up quickly.
It was her first time calling her uncle, and she was surprised at how quickly he picked up the phone. Although surprised at how busy her uncle usually was, she adjusted her tone, half ttery and half closeness, and said, ¡°Hello, Third Uncle? It¡¯s me, Rhiannon.¡±
¡°Rhiannon?¡± The Deputy Director of the City Education Bureau was incredibly confused and immediately asked her, ¡°Why is it you? Where are you? Whose phone are you using?
How could his rtive who always tries to take advantage of others be holding Young Master Lawrence¡¯s phone and calling him? Had she climbed up the socialdder? But besides bragging, his niece was stupid and clumsy, so how could she possibly get close to Young Master Lawrence?
Rhiannon didn¡¯t know he was thinking that and thought he was concerned about her. Her original three-point confidence suddenly became ten-fold. Sheined and took the opportunity to use, ¡°Third Uncle, I¡¯m with your great-nephew at the kindergarten. Our poor Lucas is almost being bullied to death. There¡¯s a child at the kindergarten who beat up Lucas, leaving no good flesh on his body, not to mention the teacher who¡¯s being unreasonable, insisting that Lucas cursed first and then the other child beat him up. But I just asked the child, and he said he didn¡¯t curse. Isn¡¯t this kindergarten bullying
¡°Even though I told them I¡¯m your niece, they¡¯re still bullying us. Isn¡¯t this disrespecting you? Also, the parent of the child who hit Lucas not only didn¡¯t apologize but also asked me to apologize to him. It¡¯s really too much! Third Uncle, you must help me seek justice.¡±
The Deputy Director of the City Education Bureau simply didn¡¯t care about her trivial matters; he just wanted to rify one thing, ¡°Whose phone are you using?
Rhiannon didn¡¯t know that disaster was imminent, and she ignorantly said, ¡°It¡¯s the parent of the child who hit someone. I said I¡¯m your niece, and he threw his phone at me, telling me to call you. He also said that he¡¯s not afraid of you, you¡¯re just a Deputy Director of the City Education Bureau, not even the Director. What does that make you?¡±
Third Uncle¡¯s biggest sore point in his life was never being able to transition from being a deputy to a full-fledged director. So, anyone who brings up this point is guaranteed to anger him. Rhiannon deliberately stirred up trouble, trying to provoke him into anger and help her stand up for herself.
Lulu Kennedy was furious and loudly said, ¡°Lucas¡¯s Mom, how can you just make things up like that? Tobias¡¯s parent didn¡¯t say that at all.. You¡¯re lying! In front of your child, is it really okay for you to lie like this? No wonder Lucas won¡¯t admit to the things he¡¯s done moments ago!¡±

Rhiannon red at her fiercely and covered the speaker of her phone.
At that moment, the man on the other end of the phone finally spoke, and indeed, he was furious, but not as Rhiannon had thought. His voice could be described as a roaring rage, ¡°Rhiannon, I¡¯m telling you, you apologize to me right now, immediately!¡±
¡°Third Uncle, are you out of your mind? Me apologize? Isn¡¯t it them who should apologize to me?¡±
¡°You want them to apologize to you? What do you think you are? Huh! Do you really think you¡¯re a gori in a zoo that everyone has to smile at you? I¡¯m warning you, go apologize immediately! Make sure to get their forgiveness!¡±
Rhiannon was dumbfounded, ¡°Third Uncle, it¡¯s fine if you don¡¯t help your own family, but why are you helping outsiders? I won¡¯t go, I will tell my mom¡¡±
¡°It¡¯s useless to tell your mom!¡± How did he end up with such a stupid rtive! The Deputy Director of the Municipal Education Bureau was about to be provoked into a heart attack by her. He threw down his trump card, ¡°You don¡¯t want to apologize? I¡¯m telling you if you don¡¯t apologize, your husband and all your rtives will beid off from the Education Bureau! Moreover, your printing business is done too; we in the Education Bureau can¡¯t afford yourpany¡¯s stuff. I don¡¯t have a niece like you! Our two families will break off our rtionship immediately! No more contact in the future! Don¡¯t even mention me in public!¡±
His words were so heavy that Rhiannon thought she was hallucinating.
What¡¯s going on?
Third Uncle wants to sever ties with her family?
And kick her husband and all his rtives out of the Education Bureau?
Even not allowing her to do business?
Has the Third Uncle gone crazy?
Rhiannon was a little panicked, and she reluctantly bowed her head, ¡°I¡¯ll apologize, is that not enough? Third Uncle, please don¡¯t be angry.¡±
¡°Stop it with this act. Let me tell you, Rhiannon. I know your temper. If you act strangely or pull faces when you apologize, everything I just said still stands. I won¡¯t let you off easily.¡±
Has Third Uncle really not gone crazy? Rhiannon opened her mouth but couldn¡¯t find her voice, ¡® ¡I understand.¡±
The Deputy Director of the City Education Bureau was still not at ease. Before hanging up the phone, he added, ¡°No, I¡¯lle over right away.¡±
¡°You better apologize properly! If Ie over and hear you¡¯re messing around, I¡¯ll break your legs! ¡±
Rhiannon¡¯s face turned green, ck, and red, with interesting colors all over. Because she was holding her breath too hard, the powder on her face fell off like a fairy scattering flowers, ¡°Third Uncle, are you really my Third Uncle? Did I dial the wrong number?¡±
¡°You didn¡¯t dial the wrong number; you took the wrong phone!¡± With that, the other end hung up the phone.
The sound of a disconnected line beeped.
Rhiannon awkwardly lowered her hand holding the phone.
What does it mean that she didn¡¯t dial the wrong number but took the wrong phone?
Did Third Uncle mean she didn¡¯t use her own phone to call?
But wasn¡¯t it enough to get through? Who cares whose phone was used to make the call.
She really couldn¡¯t understand the importance of the phone used to make this call.
Before she could figure out the meaning of thest sentence, she realized the seriousness of the situation. She turned around with a dry face and looked at
Baron Lawrence and Lulu Kennedy.

¡°This¡¡±
Lulu Kennedy was extremely nervous. When Rhiannon made a phone call without turning on the speaker, Lulu couldn¡¯t hear what was said, but she heard Rhiannon defaming Tobias¡¯s handsome uncle and repeatedly apologizing.
She Imew that in this day and age, justice couldn¡¯t triumph over power.
What if Rhiannon¡¯s uncle really forced their kindergarten to close down?
She was nervous, and Tobias was also very nervous.
Although Tobias was young, he understood a lot. He knew that there were many bad people in the world who were rich and powerful, and they particrly loved to bully others. For example, his grandpa loved to bully the women in his family. He quietly clenched his fists, having made up his mind that if Rhiannon really made it impossible for their teacher and Uncle Baron to save face, he would apologize to Lucas!
After all, he was only five years old, and no matter how much he understood, he was still a child. Children always cared about their dignity, and Tobias was no exception.
Whenever he thought of apologizing to Lucas, he felt particrly ufortable in his heart. It felt as if arge stone was pressing on his chest, making it difficult for him to breathe.
If only he had a father at this moment¡
He would have someone to protect him, to protect the women in his family.
Wyndham Howell¡¯s image appeared in Tobias¡¯ mind.
Uncle Wyndham was a doctor and, judging by his temperament, surely had plenty of connections. If Uncle Wyndham became his father, he would certainly be able to protect him and the women in his family, as well as Ms. Lulu at this moment.
Never before had Tobias wished so much that his father was Wyndham Howell, rather than a heartless man who shirked responsibility.
¡°Well¡¡± Rhiannon contemted for a long time, feeling as if her face was burning hot, as if someone had pped her in public. Her cheek stung with a burning pain. She felt humiliated, but fortunately, her heavy foundation covered her red-as-a-monkey-butt cheeks, or else she would¡¯ve looked even more ridiculous.
Baron Lawrence stood with his hands in his pockets, watching her coldly as he waited for her to continue.
His tall and burly figure made Rhiannon feel suffocated!
In the quiet office, Rhiannon suddenly bent down at a 90-degree angle and whispered, ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡±
What?
Lulu Kennedy, Tobias, and even Lucas, who was still sobbing, couldn¡¯t believe their eyes when they looked at Rhiannon.
Especially Lucas, who had been acting like a little devil. Seeing his mother not seeking justice for him but apologizing to others, he immediately jumped up and yelled, ¡°Mom!¡±
Rhiannon felt extremely humiliated but didn¡¯t dare to raise her head.
Third Uncle was too ruthless, and she had no choice.
Baron Lawrence¡¯s face showed no emotion, and his thin lips lightly opened, ¡°I can¡¯t hear.¡±
These three words were chilling to the core!
Rhiannon usually relied on her family connections, and wherever she went, she was domineering. Her husband was afraid of her, and she had the final say in everything, which formed her overbearing character. Otherwise, Lucas wouldn¡¯t have learned her ways so well. She suddenly raised her head, almost wanting to throw a tantrum, but when she thought of her uncle¡¯s warning just now, she relented like a monkey trapped under the Fingercrest Mountain.
¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡±
¡°I can¡¯t hear.¡±
The foundation on Rhiannon¡¯s face was about to crack. In front of her son, she felt so humiliated, as if she wanted to find a crack in the ground and hide in it. She raised her voice and said again, ¡°I¡¯m sorry!¡±
This time, Baron Lawrence finally showed some reaction. He nced at her coldly, ¡°I don¡¯t like to say the same thing three times..¡±

What do you mean?
Rhiannon quickly reacted, understanding what the other party meant ¡ª they were insinuating she hadn¡¯t been loud enough!
She felt like they had thrown her face on the ground to be trampled on.
She really didn¡¯t want to say those three words anymore, so she took the initiative to say, ¡°Dear parent, I was wrong. I deeply regret my actions. What our Lucas did was indeed wrong, he should not have cursed at the kindergarten child. When I get home, his father and I will educate him properly. Can we please let this matter rest?¡±
¡°Since you admitted what he did was wrong, shouldn¡¯t he apologise first?¡± Baron Lawrence nced at the cowering Lucas, then nced at Tobias rk on the sofa.
¡°You¡ª¡± Rhiannon¡¯s face changed.
She thought she could bear the injustice, but how could she let her child endure the same?
But she had just been disciplined and didn¡¯t dare to confront them. She could onlyugh it off and say, ¡°Dear parent, it¡¯s normal for children to have squabbles. Let¡¯s not make it so formal. It would be harmful for the children. It¡¯s inevitable for children to have little bumps and collisions. They would still have to go to school together in the future. If their rtionship bes too tense, wouldn¡¯t it be ufortable for them in the same kindergarten?¡±
¡°Who said they will be in the same kindergarten in the future?¡± Baron Lawrence¡¯s eyes became cold as ice, not giving any face at all.
Rhiannon didn¡¯t understand what he meant. Her intuition told her not to inquire further, or else she would only get met with refusal. As unwilling as she was, given the circumstances, she had no choice but to bow her head.
She squatted in front of Lucas, trying to coax her little tyrant with kind words, ¡°Son, can you apologise to Tobias rk?¡±
¡°I won¡¯t!¡± Lucas pushed away her hands, stopped crying, and started shouting, ¡°Mom, didn¡¯t youe to discipline him for me? Why are you helping him now, are you really my mom? I want grandma!¡±
¡°Lucas, obey!¡± Rhiannon had swallowed her pride, and Lucas¡¯s tantrums just further stoked her anger.
Who was Lucas? A person who had never been afraid from a very young age, with everyone orbiting around him. In his worldview, as long as he cries and makes a fuss, nothing is impossible. Just like previously, when he was sick and the annoying doctor said he couldn¡¯t eat ice cream. When he passed by KFC, he demanded ice cream through his cries, and he always ended up getting it. He thought this time would be no different. He failed to achieve what he wanted because he wasn¡¯t throwing a big enough tantrum. As long as he throws a bigger tantrum, his mom will surely give in.
He immediately broke into tears, ¡°Boo-hoo¡ I won¡¯t apologise! Mom, he hit me! You have to help me hit him back! If you can¡¯t then hold him and let me hit him!¡±
Baron Lawrence¡¯s face became even colder.
¡°Stop crying!¡± Rhiannon was already annoyed, more so when he started crying again. In the end, it was because of him that she had to endure this humiliation today. Why couldn¡¯t he just listen?
¡°Woo-hoo¡l want grandma¡l want dad¡l want grandma¡save me¡grandma¡ woo-hoo¡¡± He was crying so much that he could hardly breathe.
Rhiannon was both angry and heartbroken, and she felt an indescribable annoyance. She grabbed Lucas by the shoulders as she tried to calm herself down, ¡°Stop crying, honestly tell me, were you the one who started cursing?¡±
¡°I want dad¡.dad¡

¡°You admitted to Ms. Lulu that you insulted someone first, didn¡¯t you? If you insult someone, you should apologize to them. Can you go and apologize first, is that okay?¡±
¡°I want my dad¡wah¡¡±
Lucas didn¡¯t just cry, he even struggled to leave.
Rhiannon couldn¡¯t tolerate it anymore, raised her hand, and pped him across the face. She didn¡¯t want to reason with him anymore, she red and angrily ordered, ¡°Go apologize to Tobias rk!¡±
She has never felt so aggrieved in her life!
Lucas was stunned by the p; he covered his face, and even if Rhiannon didn¡¯t p him very hard, he felt like he had been bullied badly. His crying stopped for a moment, then immediately started wailing louder!
¡°I want to go home¡l don¡¯t want you anymore¡you¡¯re a bad person¡bad mom¡¡±
Rhiannon was even angrier, grabbing his cor and raising her hand as if to hit him again, yelling, ¡°Hurry up and apologize to me, or I¡¯ll give you another p!¡±
She was actually hitting a child in the kindergarten teacher¡¯s office, and Lulu Kennedy couldn¡¯t stand it any longer, interrupting, ¡°Lucas¡¯ mom, don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll talk to Lucas.¡±
All Rhiannon wanted now was for Lucas to quickly apologize so she could leave as soon as possible. Seeing Lulu Kennedy willing to intervene, she immediately let go of him.
Lulu Kennedy took Lucas out of the office.
Ten minutester, a teary-eyed Lucas came back. Although he looked very embarrassed, at least he wasn¡¯t crying anymore. He walked up to Tobias, awkwardly avoiding eye contact, and apologized softly, ¡°Tobias rk, I¡¯m sorry. I shouldn¡¯t have said you don¡¯t have a dad, and I shouldn¡¯t have called your mom a disgraceful woman. I heard my mom call someone a disgraceful woman when she was insulting them. I didn¡¯t know that it meant¡that no one wants their mom. If someone insults my dad and mom, I would definitely get mad too. I¡¯m sorry.¡±
Children don¡¯t really have any malice, and Lucas doesn¡¯t have any either. He¡¯s just a little tyrant. He¡¯s spoiled by his family, and children grow up following their parents¡¯ lead. So unconsciously, he learned some of Rhiannon¡¯s ways. But in reality, he¡¯s just a five-year-old child, and his thoughts are still very simple. Sometimes, he can¡¯t even tell right from wrong, and he just does things without any deeper meaning.
Today, after getting scolded and then pped by his own mom. When he was talked kindly to by Ms. Lulu, he realized he was wrong.
When children make mistakes, they don¡¯t have as many twists and turns when apologizing as adults do. Their apologies are straightforward, admitting exactly what they did wrong.
Tobias is not a petty child, and Enna always educates him that one should be able to take losses, be generous, and have many friends, so that others will be happy to be friends with him. Although he doesn¡¯t like Lucas or think highly of him, since Lucas has genuinely apologized, Tobias isn¡¯t the type to hold a grudge. He immediately jumped off the sofa, raised his hand to pat Lucas¡¯ head, and said, ¡°Alright, I understand. Just don¡¯t do this again.¡±
¡°Okay!¡± Lucas nodded heavily, sniffed, and muttered, ¡°Tobias, I won¡¯t go against you anymore. You¡¯re nice, much better than my mom. From now on in kindergarten, I¡¯ll have your back! Whoever you want me to hit, I¡¯ll hit them!¡± Rhiannon was infuriated.
Tobias¡¯ phoenix eyes squinted, andpared to Lucas, who was much more polite and sensible, he nced at Lulu Kennedy and then solemnly said, ¡°The teacher has said many times that we can¡¯t fight in kindergarten. I won¡¯t let you hit anybody, and you should also stop bullying girls in the future..¡±

Trantor: 549690339
¡Alright.¡± He wanted to bully Rose, and if he bullied her, she would make a fuss and attract attention. But since Tobias said so, he won¡¯t bully Rose any longer.
Lulu Kennedy looked relieved indeed, ¡°Tobias is right, you all should get along well in the kindergarten, and everyone is good friends. Don¡¯t bully your friends. Bullying your friends is bad behavior. People who always bully their friends will find no one wants to be friends with them in the future. Lucas is a good kid who can correct his mistakes, and he won¡¯t bully his friends anymore, right?¡±
Lucas now likes his teacher very much, as soon as the teacher said, he immediately nodded like a pecking chicken.
Rhiannon didn¡¯t want to stay here for a second longer, she just wanted to leave quickly. She forced a smile and went to pull Lucas, ¡°Alright, let¡¯s go home.¡±
Lucas least liked his mom. He struggled a bit and couldn¡¯t get away, so he remained silent in anger. Rhiannon didn¡¯t have the mood to care about his feelings, took his hand and said to Lulu Kennedy, ¡°Ms. Lulu, I¡¯ll take Lucas and leave first.¡±
¡°¡Alright.¡±
When she walked to the door, she realized that Baron Lawrence blocked her way. If she wanted to leave, she would have to let Baron Lawrence make way for her. She felt ufortable every time she saw Baron, but she couldn¡¯t just stand there, she needed to go out. She managed to control her facial muscles so that her expression didn¡¯t look too bad, and squeezed out a twisted smile worse than crying, ¡°Excuse me, can you please make way?¡±
Baron Lawrence nced at her, not budging the slightest, ¡°Sure, after you pay thepensation, you can leave.¡±
¡°Compensation!¡± Rhiannon screeched. ¡°You¡¯re saying you want me to paypensation?
What a joke!
Her son was beaten up, and it¡¯s already enough for her to apologize, and now being asked forpensation!
Where is the logic in this world!
But here, Baron Lawrence is the logic!
¡°Tobias¡¯s arm is injured.¡± A few simple words, with a very clear meaning.
Rhiannon twitched the corners of her mouth, ¡°My son Lucas has injuries all over his neck and body.¡±
Ifpensation is based on the injuries, it shouldn¡¯t be her family who pays.
Baron Lawrence didn¡¯t even bother to look at Lucas¡¯s injuries, he just asked her, ¡°What¡¯s your point?¡±
Rhiannon finally understood, apparently their meaning was that her son deserved to be beaten, and if anything happened to Tobias, she¡¯d be responsible for it!
She thought she was over-protective of her child, only to experience the true meaning of over-protectiveness now!
Such a protective attitude, truly outrageous!
She¡¯s not a fool, she has a rough idea that her Third Uncle warned her because he was afraid of this man, so she wouldn¡¯t dare throw a tantrum.
Her face went pale and green, like an overturned jar of spices. She took a deep breath, pulled her wallet from her bag, and painfully counted out five one hundred dor bills. She squeezed her chubby face and handed them over, ¡°Is this enough?¡±
Heh, his son is only worth 500 dors? Baron Lawrence¡¯s eyes were full of cruelty, without saying a word, he just looked at Rhiannon.
Rhiannon¡¯s face turned pale, and she took out another 300 dors from her
bag, ¡°This should be enough. Your child only has a scratch on his arm, even if he goes to the hospital, it would only cost tens of dors.¡±
Baron Lawrence took the money and coldly threw her two words, ¡°Get lost.¡±
Feeling pardoned, Rhiannon quickly left with Lucas, walking swiftly away, as if a ghost was chasing her from behind¡.

Trantor: 549690339
When they disappeared into the kindergarten, Baron Lawrence strode over, bent down and picked up the little one next to him. He then handed Tobias the over 300 dors he had gotten from Rhiannon, ¡°Go buy some candy.¡±
Tobias didn¡¯t expect to make some extra money, and his beautiful face immediately brightened with a smile. He sweetly replied, ¡°Thank you, Uncle Baron.¡±
As sweet as his words were, his hands didn¡¯t waste a second in quickly putting the money into his backpack.
Baron Lawrence held him and called out to Lulu Kennedy, ¡°Can I take him away?¡±
Lulu had seen with her own eyes how he had calmly handed in more than 300 dors to a five-year-old child to buy candy. She wanted to remind him but felt embarrassed to do so. After some hesitation, she said, ¡°Of course. Um¡ you¡¯re Tobias¡¯ uncle, right?¡±
Tobias immediately corrected her, ¡®Ms. Lulu, this is my Uncle Baron, who works at the BBC Television Station.¡± He didn¡¯t mention that Uncle Baron lived next door and currently had an ambiguous rtionship with the woman in his house. After introducing Baron Lawrence, he introduced Lulu, ¡°Uncle Baron, this is my Ms. Lulu. Ms. Lulu is very nice to us, gentle and patient. Especially to me, she takes really good care of me.¡±
After finishing hisst sentence, Baron Lawrence finally looked at Ms. Lulu in the eyes, his thin lips curled slightly, ¡°Hello.¡±
Feeling ttered, Lulu stuttered, ¡°You¡ um¡ Hello, Mr. Lawrence.¡±
¡°I want to take Tobias home, no school for today. Is that okay?¡± His attitude was much better than before, although his tone was still the habit of giving orders.
Parents taking children away were never obstructed by the kindergarten, nor could they be prevented. She nodded, ¡°Of course. But before leaving, may I talk to you for a moment?¡±
¡°Just want to discuss the child¡¯s situation at school with you.¡±
Baron Lawrence only hesitated for a moment before agreeing. He ced the little one on the sofa and told him, ¡®Wait inside for me, I¡¯ll be back soon.¡± He then followed Lulu out of the office.
Outside the office, Lulu¡¯s ears were a little hot, and she plucked up the courage to say, ¡°Actually, Leanne¡¯s mom was indeed a bit excessive today. However, I feel I need to tell you this and hope you can pass it on to Tobias¡¯ mom. Today, Tobias was wrong for hitting someone first, and we hope she can discipline him.¡±
Baron Lawrence¡¯s eyebrows furrowed, and his thin lips tightened, ¡°I understand.¡±
¡°Also, I saw you give more than 300 dors directly to the child. Isn¡¯t that a bit inappropriate? Tobias is only five years old. Although we want to cultivate their sense of money, it¡¯s also not good to educate the child to be too money-loving.¡±
Lulu was absolutely speaking from the heart, standing in the perspective of a teacher, with no personal bias.
She Imew that Tobias was doing small businesses at school, and as a kindergarten teacher, she should have stepped in. But after learning about Tobias¡¯ family situation from the other children, out of personal bias, she didn¡¯t intervene. However, she still felt uneasy about it. That¡¯s why she hinted at Baron Lawrence to pay more attention to the child¡¯s growth. It would be such a pity if such a smart child like Tobias went astray!

Baron Lawrence didn¡¯t see anything wrong with spending over $300 on candy. By the time he was five years old, the amounts he dealt with had long surpassed the trifle of $300 or $3,000.
However, in front of his kindergarten teacher, he Imew to y along, ¡°Mhm, I understand.¡±
Seeing his cooperation, Lulu Kennedy felt embarrassed to keep on lecturing. She stole a nce at his side profile, quickly turning her gaze away for fear of having been caught, and said, ¡°Alright, that¡¯s all I wanted to say. Please take Tobias rk home and let him rest well for the day.¡±
¡°Okay.¡±
Baron Lawrence strides into the office with long legs.
Inside the office, Tobias rk was itching to grow an extra eye to see what was happening outside. Seeing hime in, his little phoenix eyes blinked a time before further observing Lulu Kennedy following in. Seeing Lulu¡¯s blushing, his little heart could finally settle down.
¡°Let¡¯s go,¡± Baron Lawrence bent over again to pick him up.
This was Tobias rk¡¯s first time being held by a young man like this, which gave him a weird feeling, simr to being held by a dad. He turned his head to hide this, bid his farewell to Lulu Kennedy, ¡°Ms. Lulu, bye-bye.¡±
¡°Well, see you tomorrow.¡±
Lulu Kennedy waved her hand and watched the duo, one big and one small, leave¡
In the Land Rover parked outside the kindergarten.
Baron Lawrence opened the car door and ced the child inside.
With the Land Rover being an off-road vehicle model, the interior was spacious. There was plenty of space for little Tobias rk. Baron Lawrence then climbed in, settled in the car, and closed the door.
The car¡¯s leather sofa cushion was soft. Seeing Baron Lawrence also climbed into the car, Tobias rk asked curiously, ¡°Uncle Baron, aren¡¯t you going to drive?¡±
Baron Lawrence skillfully opened the car¡¯s partition and pulled out an army-style medical kit from a drawer. He said to him, ¡®Sit tight and stick out your hand.¡±
¡°Hand?¡± Only then did Tobias rk notice the wound on his arm. The scratched area immediately began to itch and hurt all at once.
Without any hesitation, Baron Lawrence grabbed his arm and deftly took out the disinfectant alcohol and cotton swabs from the medical kit. He poured the alcohol on a cotton swab and cleaned the area around the kid¡¯s wound. Lips pressed into a fine line, he cautioned him, ¡°This might hurt a bit, bear with it. After I put the medicine, I will take you to the amusement park.¡±
¡°Really?¡±
Even though Tobias rk was very mature for his age, he still repatriated an undeniable appeal towards candy and toys, which are irresistible for any child.
Observing the joy in the kid¡¯s eyes, Baron Lawrence looked into his eyes and huskily promised, ¡°Really.¡±
There, Tobias rk obediently sat still. ¡°Haha, you can put the medicine on. I am not afraid of the pain.¡±
Children¡¯s resistance to pain is much weaker than adults¡¯. A wound that seems minor to an adult might cause severe trouble for a child. Baron Lawrence knew this and steeled his heart to pour the alcohol on the wound.
Despite Tobias rk iming not to be afraid of pain, he cringes in pain when the alcohol is applied.
Yet, he didn¡¯t utter a single scream.
Unlike other children who found being treated with alcohol an ordeal worse than climbing up to the heavens, crying hard enough to shatter your eardrums after finally getting treated.
Baron Lawrence didn¡¯tfort him, and his wound treatment was quite rough. Luckily, Tobias rk was not an ordinary child. He could withstand such crude treatment.
After disinfecting the wound, Baron Lawrence applied Erythromycin to prevent infection.. After sorting everything out, Bobby voluntarily asked, ¡°Uncle Baron, do you have a band-aid in your car?¡±

Chapter 254 - 254: 254: The True Father and Son
Trantor: 549690339
¡°No.¡± He had a military medical kit. A soldier that needed to treat an injury with a Band-Aid would be unworthy of being a soldier.
No, huh¡
He was somewhat disappointed.
Another reason is that he was afraid Enna rk would see the scars on his arm.
As he was hesitating whether to buy some Band-Aids or not, he suddenly remembered there were some in his schoolbag given to him by Rose Howell.
He quickly opened his schoolbag and found the things that Rose forcibly stuffed into his pencil case.
Although they were colorful, they were indeed Band-Aids.
He took out five and handed them to Baron Lawrence without any politeness, ¡°Uncle Baron, can you help me put these on the wounds?¡±
Baron Lawrence looked down at the colorful things in his hand and frowned.
What kind of Band-Aids would a grown man use? And of this kind!
He felt that a man wouldn¡¯t need to use these things but when he met the little guy¡¯s expectant eyes, he involuntarily tore open the package and pasted them on the wounds. By the time all the wounds were covered with Band-Aids,
Tobias rk¡¯s arm looked like a cartoon bandage exhibition, shy and gaudy.
He couldn¡¯t stand the sight of his arm, silently cursing Rose¡¯s taste. He exined, ¡°My girl¡¡±
Almost saying ¡®my girl,¡¯ thankfully he reacted quickly and changed it to, ¡°Mummy would be angry if she knew I was fighting with someone in kindergarten. Uncle Baron, can you not tell mummy about today?¡±
¡°¡you¡¯re afraid of your mom?¡±
Tobias was cunning, ¡°Not afraid. Grandma Panda said men are made of y and can be treated casually. Women are made of water and must be handled carefully, otherwise they will flood the Jinshan. Also, men are for hitting, and women are for spoiling. I¡¯m a man, so of course I have to spoil my mummy.¡± Where did he learn such twisted logic? ¡®What about your dad¡¡±
Baron Lawrence¡¯s intention was to ask, since he wants to spoil his mom, what¡¯s his attitude towards his dad?
Tobias answered without thinking, ¡°Isn¡¯t my dad cleaning toilets in Country W? I just told Uncle Baron yesterday, did you forget?¡±
Cleaning toilets!
Baron Lawrence¡¯s face darkened as he silently chanted three times, ¡®biological child, biological child, biological child!¡¯ before suppressing the urge to beat him and mming the medical kit shut. He put the medical kit back in its original ce and told him, ¡°Sit in the front with meter on.¡±
He was only five years old after all, and there was no car seat suitable for a
child his age. It was safer to keep him under his watch.
Tobias could read people well. Although Baron Lawrence¡¯s facial expressions hadn¡¯t changed much, he still keenly sensed that the ¡®dubious man¡¯ was angry. He just chalked it up to heartbreak over once again confirming that his girl was spoken for. It was only right that the dubious man should be angry.
He obediently followed, carrying his little schoolbag, got out of the car, and went back to the front to sit down.
It seemed that they wouldn¡¯t be able to go to the amusement park today¡
He felt a bit disappointed.
At that moment, the man who got back into the car suddenly turned his head and asked him, ¡°Which amusement park do you want to go to?¡±
Tobias¡¯s eyes lit up, and he quickly named an amusement park.
Baron Lawrence immediately reversed the car, stepped on the elerator, and the Land Rover smoothly drove towards the direction of the amusement park¡

At this moment.
Linton City¡¯s rk family was not calm.
After Jasmine rk had smashed up everything she could in her room, she copsed on the bed and started sobbing.
When Juliet Jordan heard the noise, she came up and saw the chaos in the room. Her face turned into a sour look instantly, and she scolded her, ¡°What the hell are you causing at home again, your dad will be home soon. He¡¯ll give you a tongueshing when he sees this!¡±
¡°Mom!¡± Jasmine rk got up from her bed, with tears streaming down her face and cried out in sorrow, ¡°William Sullivan ran away.¡±
¡°What?¡± Juliet Jordan was taken aback.
Jasmine recounted what she had just found out, ¡°William Sullivan ran away! He left Linton City and took a ne away!¡±
¡°He¡¯ll of coursee back, why are you so panicked?¡±
¡°Who knows if he¡¯lle back! I tried calling him, but he didn¡¯t answer. I texted him, but he didn¡¯t respond. I know where he went! He went to find that vixen! Oh, mom, why am I so unlucky? Did we owe those vixens in another life? That woman took my dad away and now the younger vixen is taking away your son-inw¡¡± Jasmine rk was sobbing uncontrobly.
Listening to herints, Juliet Jordan became annoyed and scolded her, ¡°Shut up, William Sullivan won¡¯t run off. The two of you aren¡¯t getting married for love, and even for his parents, he won¡¯t run off. Stop crying and causing amotion all day. If I were a man, I would be annoyed with you too.¡±
¡°But he doesn¡¯t answer my calls or reply to my messages. And now that he¡¯s met that vixen again, who knows if he¡¯ll still care about his own parents? I bet he¡¯ll forget his own surname! It¡¯s all that vixen¡¯s fault. Even when she¡¯s gone, she¡¯s still causing trouble. I knew it. I shouldn¡¯t have sent her a wedding invitation¡¡± Jasmine rk pointedly med.
Juliet Jordan interrupted her, her face turned cold, ¡°You sent a wedding invitation to Enna rk? How did you know where Enna rk is?¡± ¡°Of course, it was her auntie who found out from her grandpa!¡±
¡°So you sent her a wedding invitation?¡± Juliet was nearly pissed off to death by her. How could she have such a foolish daughter?
Even Jasmine knew that she did something inappropriate, but she couldn¡¯t resist doing it, ¡°Mom, I¡¯m getting married to William Sullivan. Sending her an invitation won¡¯t harm anyone, right? I need to let her know who won.¡±
Juliet Jordan sarcastically replied, ¡°Since you¡¯re getting married to William Sullivan, why are you panicking about him taking a trip?¡±
¡°I¡¡± Jasmine rk was speechless due to guilt.
Children are indeed a way for karma toe back from heaven! Juliet Jordan suppressed her anger, patiently exining to her, ¡°What women should beware of the most is being overweening. Many people miss sess when they are about to achieve it, why? Because they believe they have already got it. But they don¡¯t realize that no matter how close they are to sess, it¡¯s not absolute until it is achieved. As long as there¡¯s a gap, various idents can happen.¡±
Jasmine hated listening to life lectures the most, and she couldn¡¯t understand what she was saying, ¡°So, mom, you also think William Sullivan might elope with Enna rk?¡±
Juliet Jordan had seen many stupid people, but none as stupid as her. She didn¡¯t feel like being kind to her anymore, and said bluntly, ¡°I¡¯m telling you not to count your chickens before they are hatched. Think about it, how many phone calls have you been making to William Sullivan every day since your marriage was settled? How many messages do you send? As soon as he doesn¡¯t pick up your call, you will call all his friends, rtives, and parents, insisting on finding him. Otherwise, you keep calling him again and again..¡±

¡°It¡¯s because I love him that I do this.¡±
¡°Love? Men need space. What you¡¯re doing isn¡¯t love, you¡¯re pushing him! Haven¡¯t you ever thought, as a grown man being so entangled by you, where is his dignity? And, you always act hysterical, do you think people wouldn¡¯t be scared? You¡¯re controlling him so tightly even before getting married, what will happen after marriage? Will he have to carry you with him all the time?¡± Juliet Jordan was teaching her how to control a man, ¡°With men, you have to treat them like flying a kite. As long as you hold the string, let the kite fly however it wants, and it will eventuallye back. Women like you who constantly make a fuss, even if you get married, you won¡¯t be able to keep a man¡¯s heart. Once you fail to keep his heart, get ready for divorce.¡±
¡°He wouldn¡¯t dare!¡±
Juliet Jordan gave her a cold nce and said, ¡°The Sullivan Family only temporarily needs our family¡¯s funds to tide them over. Once they recover, do you think they will still be so polite to you?¡±
¡°But our family has helped them. Why would they want their son to divorce me?¡± Jasmine rk¡¯s hands were tense, with blue veins appearing on her wrists.
Jasmine¡¯s naivete irritated Juliet, who said icily, ¡°Jasmine, what do you think the business world is like? Today the Sullivan Family faces problems, so they can form a marriage alliance with you. Tomorrow if the rk Family has problems and needs the Sullivan Family¡¯s help, just wait and see if your father is the first to take you back home and personally send you to get divorced.¡±
Jacob rk¡¯s heart was always just about himself. As long as nothing was blocking his path, he could maintain the facades of a good man, a good husband, and a good father. If his path was blocked, he could turn cold and heartless in an instant. Just like before with that woman, and now with Enna rk.
Jasmine couldn¡¯t believe it, shaking her head in denial, ¡°Mom, you¡¯re just talking nonsense. Dad would never treat me like that. I¡¯m his daughter. How could he possibly not care about me?¡±
¡°Enna is also his daughter. When Mayor Smith wanted to see her, he didn¡¯t stop Enna from meeting him either.¡±
Jasmine protested without hesitation, ¡°That¡¯s different. Enna was born from a mistress, so of course Dad doesn¡¯t care about her. It¡¯s not the same with me. I¡¯m the child of you both. Dad would definitely care for me.¡±
Juliet Jordan bit her lip, wanting to tell her that in Jacob¡¯s heart, it didn¡¯t matter who gave birth to his children. But seeing Jasmine¡¯s stubborn expression, she swallowed her words.
If Jasmine had a moment of impulse and confronted Jacob directly, it could lead to even bigger problems.
Juliet Jordan had a headache and didn¡¯t want to deal with it anymore. ¡°Alright, stop making a fuss. I will call Mrs. Sullivan and ask her to contact William Sullivan. In the next few days, you stay at home and don¡¯t wander around. Especially don¡¯t go to the Sullivan¡¯s house to find their parents or go looking for their friends. Do you understand?¡±
Jasmine was displeased in her heart but didn¡¯t dare to defy Juliet. She reluctantly said, ¡°I understand.¡±
Juliet Jordan thought she really did understand and elegantly said, ¡°In a while, I¡¯ll have Auntie Wrene and clean up your room. Your father will be back soon, and I don¡¯t care how unhappy you are. When hees back, you will smile for me. Don¡¯t put on a long face, it¡¯s just annoying to look at.¡±
..Okay.¡± Jasmine felt very wronged, and at the same time, she put the me on Enna rk¡¯s head, vowing in her heart to find Enna and ask her to bring William Sullivan out.
Juliet Jordan left the second floor¡.

SeaSky Amusement Park.
Tobias rk got off the roller coaster, his pretty little face still filled with excitement, clearly unsatisfied and wanting to y again. However, unlike ordinary children, he didn¡¯t make a fuss to continue ying. Instead, he nced at Baron Lawrence next to him and took the initiative to say, ¡°Uncle Baron, there¡¯s a coffee shop over there. Let me treat you to a drink.¡±
Baron Lawrence¡¯s ears were about to explode from the noise made by the couple behind him on the roller coaster, and he was rather annoyed. Hearing Tobias¡¯s words, he nodded, ¡°Alright.¡±
Tobias, with his backpack slung over his shoulders, walked ahead, and while walking, he earnestly said, ¡°Uncle Baron, don¡¯t fight me for the billter, I really want to buy you a drink.¡±
Fortunately, Enna wasn¡¯t there; if Enna saw Tobias, the usually stingy Bobby, taking the initiative to treat someone, her jaw would drop in shock.
¡°Hmm.¡±
Getting the answer he wanted, Tobias turned his head back and continued walking, pondering how to make his drink worth the money he¡¯d spend on it.
When they arrived at the shop, Tobias unhesitatingly pointed to the drink menu on the counter and boldly said, ¡°Uncle Baron, order whatever you like. Don¡¯t be polite with me.¡±
¡°A Mocha.¡± Baron Lawrence wasn¡¯t nning on being polite since he just gave Bobby over 300 dors. He knew Tobias could afford it.
The cashier replied immediately, ¡°Alright.¡±
Tobias nced at the drink menu and decisively ordered the cheapest orange juice.
After ordering, he took out 15 dors from his little backpack and handed it over. The cashier, seeing such a young child taking the initiative to pay, yfully asked, ¡°Are you having fun with your dad?¡±
Dad¡
Tobias slightly furrowed his brows but neither confirmed nor denied, ¡°Please add some sugar to my orange juice, thank you.¡± ¡°Ok, orange juice with added sugar.¡±
The cashier gave him back a few dors in change.
He took the money, put it in his backpack solemnly, turned his head, and said to Baron Lawrence, ¡°Uncle Baron, let¡¯s find a ce to sit.¡± As he spoke, he agilely found a corner seat and sat down.
Baron Lawrence followed and sat across from him.
Soon, their ordered drinks arrived. Tobias, who was a bit thirsty from ying, took a big sip and his flushed face appeared less heated.
Baron Lawrence leaned back on the sofa andzily picked up his coffee, taking a sip.
Only a sip, and his brow furrowed.
Although the coffee here was said to be made from ground coffee beans, in reality, it was all instant coffee. For Baron Lawrence, who was used to high-quality coffee, the taste was really not that great.
However¡
He stole a nce at the little guy across from him. For some reason, the bad coffee became more bearable. He rxed his brows and took another sip before putting the cup down.
In Tobias¡¯s view, buying coffee for a few dors a cup was an extravagantly corrupt and wasteful behavior! So, he never thought anyone would dislike the taste of coffee that cost a few dors!
He waited for Baron Lawrence to put down his cup, and as if casually chatting, suddenly asked, ¡°Uncle Baron, you¡¯re so handsome, you must have a lot of beautiful women chasing you, right?¡±
Instead of using the more ttering term ¡°beautiful woman,¡± he insisted on calling them ¡°aunt¡± to tease.
Since he was only five years old, his beautiful eyes were clear and clean, making it impossible for people to argue with him.
Baron Lawrence¡¯s sharp eyes caught a glint of mischief; he knew what Tobias was about to ask next but replied calmly, ¡°No..¡±

What a liar!
Tobias rk could not believe that no one pursued the handsome ¡®Dubious
Man.¡¯
After all, he was only five years old, and even if he tried to hide, he couldn¡¯t help but reveal himself. When Baron Lawrence said he had no one, Tobias clearly frowned. However, he quickly recovered.
¡°Oh, so what kind of girls does Uncle Baron like?¡±
Baron Lawrence was tempted to answer with ¡®like your mom¡¯, but since Enna rk had warned him not to act rashly, he suppressed the urge and touched his thin lips. ¡°With hair about as long as your Mummy¡¯s, skin as fair as your Mummy¡¯s, and height about as tall as your Mummy¡¯s¡¡±
He mentioned a series of simrities, and the more he said, the darker Tobias¡¯s face became. His small hand clenched into a fist, gritting his teeth!
Everything is just like his family¡¯s woman, might as well just say it¡¯s her!
Tobias angrily waited for him to finish, then smiled and counterattacked,
¡°Hehe, the person Uncle Baron described sounds like my Mummy.¡±
Before Baron Lawrence could admit it, he stabbed another barb. ¡°Too bad my
Mummy doesn¡¯t like Uncle Baron¡¯s type. She says, the prettier the man, the less content he is. She prefers men like my dad, honest and dedicated to serving the people.¡±
It was fine if he didn¡¯t mention serving the people, but as soon as he mentioned it, Baron Lawrence thought of Tobias¡¯s dad cleaning toilets in Country W.
The two stared at each other, big eyes and small eyes, not knowing what to say!
Tobias had basically concluded that even if the ¡®Dubious Man¡¯ knew about his dad, he wouldn¡¯t easily let go. Tobias was determined to use n B, so he didn¡¯t take the initiative to find a topic.
They finished their drinks.
Finally, the smaller of the two broke the silence, his eyes shifting as he politely invited, ¡°Uncle Baron, thank you foring to the kindergarten to find me today and taking me to the yground. Why don¡¯t youe to my house for dinner tonight? I¡¯ll call Mummy and ask her to make some more delicious food. ¡±
Going to his house for dinner? Wouldn¡¯t that mean eating with that woman? Baron Lawrence stretched out like a cheetah, feeling very pleased. ¡°Okay.¡±
BBC Radio, 3rd Floor.
Enna rk hung up the phone, her mouth still agape in surprise.
What was going on? Why would Bobby suddenly think of inviting Baron Lawrence to their home for dinner? Justst night when she asked him about it, didn¡¯t he still seem very displeased with Baron Lawrence?
Tiffany Clifford went to the pantry to get a cup of water, passing by Enna¡¯s desk and noticing her deep in thought, clutching her phone. ¡°Enna, what are you doing?
Seeing Tiffany, Enna turned her head and asked in bafflement. ¡°Sister Tiffany, perfect timing. Let me ask you a question. A doesn¡¯t like B, but suddenly invites B to their home for dinner. What do you think is going on?¡±
¡°What¡¯s with the A and B?¡± Tiffany¡¯s eyebrows raised in surprise, her face lighting up with excitement as she put down her cup. ¡°Enna, could it be that A is your son Bobby, and B is your boyfriend?¡±
¡°¡ ¡± Women¡¯s sixth sense is truly terrifying.
Seeing her reaction, Tiffany knew she had guessed right, patting Enna¡¯s shoulder heavily andughing. ¡°Really? Did you and that guy who dropped you off at work sessfully progress?¡±
The guy who dropped her off at work that day¡ Enna was startled¡ Could Tiffany be talking about Wyndham Howell?
¡°No, Sister Tiffany, you misunderstand.¡±
Tiffany wrapped her arm around Enna¡¯s shoulder, not believing her words. ¡°You¡¯re still pretending with me. Let me tell you, if A doesn¡¯t like B but suddenly invites B to his home for dinner, he must be up to something.¡±
Bobby has a hidden agenda?
Enna wasn¡¯t sure.
She looked down at her watch, realizing that the workday was over. Picking up her bag, she told Tiffany, ¡°Sister Tiffany, I¡¯m going home.¡±
Tiffany let her go, a warm smile on her face as she waved. ¡°Alright, you go
ahead. Goodbye..¡±
Chapter 259: 259: Cherysh Jordan Suddenly Calls
Chapter 259: 259: Cherysh Jordan Suddenly Calls
Trantor: 549690339
Enna rk had just left thepany.
Her phone rang.
She thought it was Bobby calling again, asking her to buy something on her way home. But when she picked up her phone, she saw an unexpected number ¨C Cherysh Jordan.
Why was Cherysh calling her?
Enna hesitated for a moment, originally not intending to answer the call. After some thought, she finally picked up just as the call was about to be dropped.
¡°Hello.¡±
¡°Enna.¡± Cherysh surprisingly didn¡¯t address her as Ms. rk.
Enna was caught off guard by this sudden familiarity and frowned, even more unsure why Cherysh was contacting her.
Who knew? Cherysh took the initiative. ¡°I need you for something. Can youe to the hospital?¡±
Enna didn¡¯t know why Cherysh had suddenly changed her attitude towards her but still coolly declined. ¡°I have something else to do. I might not be able to.¡±
Cherysh hurriedly spoke, fearing Enna would hang up. ¡°I want to tell you something important, rted to what happened five years ago.¡± Five years ago!
Wasn¡¯t that when her entanglement with Baron Lawrence began?
Enna clenched her phone tightly and asked in a deep voice, ¡°Which hospital are you in?¡±
Cherysh gave her an address, and after Enna wrote it down, she said, ¡°Wait for me a moment, I¡¯ll be right there.¡±
She hung up and sent a text to Bobby, saying she might be a bitteing home. Then, she hailed a taxi on the street and rushed to the hospital Cherysh had mentioned.
Cade Hospital, Room 003.
Reba Jordan had already fallen asleep while receiving an IV drip. Cherysh gently tucked her nket and gestured for Enna to follow. She picked up her purse and walked out of the room quietly.
Out in the hallway, Cherysh proposed, ¡°There¡¯s a ce nearby where we can get some water to drink. Let¡¯s go there.¡±
Enna didn¡¯t want to waste too much time with her. ¡°No need for that. Just tell me here.¡±
Cherysh realized Enna didn¡¯t want to waste time and gave her a bitter smile. ¡°There are too many people here, and we can¡¯t stand here and talk. Come with me. There¡¯s a small garden behind the hospital with fewer people. There¡¯s a pavilion there with benches we can sit on.¡±
Fearing Enna¡¯s refusal, she said half convincing, half pleading, ¡°¡ At least we can sit down and talk.¡¯
¡°Fine. ¡±
As expected, there was a pavilion in the hospital¡¯s small garden. Enna sat down opposite Cherysh and got straight to the point. ¡°You said you want to tell me something important rted to five years ago. What is it?¡±
Cherysh was still as seductive as ever, butpared to the previous two times they met, her seduction seemed less deliberate and more natural. She didn¡¯t answer Enna¡¯s question, but instead said, ¡°Thank you for that day. I really don¡¯t know what I would have done without you stepping in. Thank you, Enna.¡±
If Enna hadn¡¯t appeared on that day, she was really afraid of what Brody Smith might have done to Reba.
If something had happened to Reba, she wouldn¡¯t be able to live with herself.
So she was genuinely grateful to Enna.
Enna knew what she was referring to. Her eyes were cold. ¡°I wasn¡¯t helping you, I was helping Reba. If Reba hadn¡¯t been there that day, I wouldn¡¯t have gotten involved.¡±
Cherysh hadn¡¯t expected Enna to be so direct. She paused for a moment, then gave a bitter smile and lowered her eyes. ¡°I know. I don¡¯t deserve your help..¡±
Chapter 260: 260: It’s actually related to Jasmine Clark again!
Chapter 260: 260: It¡¯s actually rted to Jasmine rk again!
Trantor: 549690339
She took a deep breath, and when she looked up again, she had regained the pride that Cherysh Jordan should have. ¡°You saw Reba¡¯s condition too. She suffers from a rare blood disease, and there aren¡¯t many others with her condition worldwide. The doctor and I don¡¯t have a solution, so we can only keep paying for her blood transfusion surgeries. What¡¯s even more frustrating is that not only does she need surgery every once in a while, but she also has to spend a lot of money on imported medicine. Reba was diagnosed with the disease during my senior year of high school, and to treat her, our family spent all of our savings, even selling our house. If it weren¡¯t for the fact that I had already paid that semester¡¯s tuition, I might have dropped out of school to work and make money already¡¡±
Cherysh closed her eyes, and continued, ¡°Later, you also needed money, so we both decided to work part-time together. I¡¯ve always considered you my best friend, and I never thought I would betray you. But then one night¡my parents had a car ident because they were too tired and driving fatigued. Both of them died in the crash. Because they vited traffic rules, they had to bear all the responsibility themselves, and there was nopensation at all. At that time, I was informed by the doctor that I had to arrange another blood transfusion surgery for Reba, otherwise she would be in danger of losing her life¡¡±
Enna listened quietly.
Suddenly, Cherysh opened her eyes and looked at Enna, her eyes filled with pain, ¡°Enna, if a lifesaving straw appeared in front of you, what would you do if you were in my shoes? Hold on or let go?¡±
¡°What are you trying to say?¡±
Who was that lifesaving straw?
Cherysh clenched her lips and stared into Enna¡¯s eyes, ¡°Jasmine found me and told me that if I helped her with something, she would give me 15 thousand dors. The 15 thousand dorsbined with the money my parents had saved before they died would be just enough for Reba¡¯s surgery.¡±
¡°Are you saying that five years ago Jasmine gave you the money to¡drug me?¡± Enna stood up abruptly, ¡°Impossible!¡±
Jasmine was even a year younger than her.
How could a young girl be so vicious at that time?
Cherysh scoffed, her eyes full of contempt, ¡°Why would I lie to you? Everything I said is true. I had already done it and taken her money, so I didn¡¯t n on revealing this. Butst time¡¡±
She paused for a moment, took a deep breath, and continued, ¡°Enna, no matter who you stepped forward for, I¡¯m grateful. There¡¯s no need for me to lie to you. It was Jasmine who gave me the 15 thousand dors to drug you and send you to Boss Tyson¡¯s bed.¡±
Boss Tyson¡ An image of a man in his fifties or sixties with half his hair gone appeared in Enna¡¯s mind.
Her brain was a mess, struggling to digest this information.
If Jasmine and Cherysh had sent her to Boss Tyson¡¯s bed, how had she ended up with Baron Lawrence?
¡°When I was at the end of my rope, I chose to hold on to that straw. I¡¯ve already lost two of my closest rtives; I couldn¡¯t lose Reba. I chose my sister over my best friend. I don¡¯t think I did anything wrong, but I¡¯m still sorry.¡±
Enna came back to her senses after the shock, looking at Cherysh withplex emotions, finally understanding what had happened back then. With a dry throat, she asked, ¡°So at that time, you sought out William because you had already decided¡.to sacrifice everything for Reba? Including your body and dignity?
Chapter 261: 261: Wyndham Howell has arrived too
Chapter 261: 261: Wyndham Howell has arrived too
Trantor: 549690339
¡°Yes!¡± Cherysh Jordan raised the corner of her mouth, finally revealing a hint of the expression a young woman should have. ¡°Reba suffers from a disease of wealth, and even if I work myself to death, I still wouldn¡¯t earn enough money to pay for her medication. Since I epted that 15 thousand dors from Jasmine rk, I decided to walk down a dark road for the rest of my life. What¡¯s worth more than selling one¡¯s body besides hard work? However, I didn¡¯t want to sell¡ my first time. So, I got William Sullivan drunk.¡±
That night was her happiest night.
Enna rk really didn¡¯t know what to say, but she still had to talk. ¡°Cherysh Jordan, you said you don¡¯t think you did anything wrong, but you should still apologize to me, right?¡±
¡°Hmm, sorry.¡±
Enna rk looked at her and said coldly and neatly, ¡°I don¡¯t forgive.¡±
Cherysh Jordan couldn¡¯t believe it and raised her head.
Enna rk hooked up the corner of her mouth, but her smile didn¡¯t reach her eyes, and she said word by word, ¡°Cherysh Jordan, no reason can justify your hurting others! I¡¯m very sorry about your parents¡¯ car ident, and I sympathize with Reba¡¯s illness. But, did I cause your parents¡¯ car ident, or Reba¡¯s illness?
¡°I¡¡± Cherysh Jordan couldn¡¯t say a word in response to her questioning.
Enna rk stared at her coldly, snorted, and sneered, ¡°Isn¡¯t it? So why do you think I should pay for your misfortune? Pay for your family?¡±
Reba was her younger sister, and she wanted to save Reba without selling her own first time¡
So, what about her?
Did Cherysh Jordan ever consider that she wouldn¡¯t want to lose her first time randomly either?
If it weren¡¯t for Baron Lawrence that night, and it really happened as Jasmine rk nned, that she was involved with Tyson Universe¡¯s boss, did Cherysh Jordan ever think about what she would do?
Cherysh Jordan was wrong, too selfish!
Enna rk didn¡¯t want to talk to her anymore, and she didn¡¯t want to stay here for another second. She picked up her bag and said cleanly, ¡°Are you done talking? If so, I¡¯m going.¡±
Cherysh Jordan opened her mouth several times, but couldn¡¯t make any sound. She could only watch as Enna rk left the small garden with her back
SLLd1g11L¡
Enna rk kept thinking about what Cherysh Jordan said on her way home.
When she got home, her mind was filled with Cherysh Jordan and Jasmine rk.
She took the keys out of her bag and opened the door.
Before she could change her shoes, a crisp voice was already greeting her,
¡°Mummy, you¡¯re back.¡±
As she responded, a little girl wearing a butterfly-knotted dress and a princess dress came over and said sweetly, ¡°Hello, Aunt.¡±
Enna rk was a little confused.
