“Dudu…” The phone rang a few times, and the robotic female voice said, “Sorry, the user you have dialed is temporarily unable to answer your call. Please try again later.”
Enna Clark disappointedly put her phone down and glanced at the quartz clock on the wall. It was already 11:10 PM. Was he still not done with work at this time?
In another 50 minutes, today would be gone…
The flowers and red wine set up in the dining room were incredibly lonely.
She pursed her lips and called Baron Lawrence again.
Her heart was in her throat.
Finally, a voice came through, “Sorry, the user you have dialed is temporarily unable to answer your call. Please try again later.”
Still sorry, the user you have dialed is temporarily unable to answer your call. Please try again later…
Her raised heart suddenly fell back down.
Nevermind, there was nothing she could do about him being busy at work.
Enna took a deep breath, turned down the volume of the TV, and continued to wait on the sofa-
The clock’s hour and minute hands moved every second, and they were about to overlap.
She started to feel drowsy.
The sound of the door opening came from the entrance hall.
The light in the entrance hall turned on, and a familiar figure appeared at the door.
Enna suddenly woke up and turned her head to look at the entrance hall—
The man’s tall stature was perfect no matter when she looked at him, and his unique and proud aristocratic temperament radiated from him. If it wasn’t Baron Lawrence, who else could it be?
“You’re back?” It was like she had been waiting for his return!
Enna quickly glanced at the clock, 11: 59 PM.
She swiftly got up, went to the dining table, picked up the box containing a tie clip and handed it to him with a beaming smile, “Happy birthday, Baron Lawrence.”
After holding back all day, he came home to her sweet smile and the gift she held up to him. His irritability for the whole day was instantly healed. Baron Lawrence suddenly felt his throat dry, his hawk-like eyes staring intently at the petite woman in front of him, his adam’s apple moving, “What did you
Enna felt a little embarrassed, “I originally prepared dinner for you too, but it’s so late, you must have eaten already. Fortunately, I caught the last minute.”
Enna pushed the gift closer to him with a sweet smile, “Happy birthday, Baron Lawrence. My darling and I picked out this gift for you together. See if you like it.”
Her sweet smile at him was the best gift!
There had been no better gift in more than twenty years!
Baron Lawrence didn’t take the gift; instead, he pushed her against the wall and sealed her sweet lips with a kiss.
A flood of alcohol emanated from him, and Enna’s first reaction was discomfort, but she didn’t push him away, innocently responding to his passionate kiss.
Her response was like lighting a fire.
The kiss ended, and Baron Lawrence could already feel the changes in his body.
He didn’t let his passion carry him away and take her straight to the bedroom to devour her. Instead, he held back his desire, let her go, and picked up the gift she had bought for him. He lowered his head to open it and asked hoarsely, “What’s inside?”
“You’ll see when you open it.”
Baron Lawrence unwrapped the gift, revealing the brand’s logo. He recognized it— a top-tier brand in the world of luxury goods.
His strong wrist paused for a moment before continuing to open the box.
A minimalist diamond tie clip appeared, stored in a delicate velvet box.. Baron Lawrence’s dark eyes narrowed into a tiny slit—
