Chapter 572: Mr. Lawrence, Thank You
Bobby’s pretty little face turned from white to red, then from red to purple, Enna saw him open his mouth several times wanting to retort. But as the words were about to come out, he couldn’t bear to say them and held them back every time!
She hurriedly changed the subject, “So, Bobby, what did you play outside this morning?”
“Nothing.” Bobby was still mad at her for speaking up for the Dubious Man earlier, and grumbled under his breath.
Enna gave Baron Lawrence a look, and the man across the table just furrowed his eyebrows without saying a word.
Once again, the atmosphere at the dinner table dropped to an icy low.
Enna looked at the two, one big and one small, ignoring each other, and felt utterly exhausted.
Someone suddenly called her name from behind.
Turning her head, Enna saw Miranda Lewis walking towards them with a beaming smile.
It seemed that she had changed into a different outfit, her makeup was lighter, and she wore a ponytail. At first, Enna couldn’t connect her to the woman from the hotel this morning who had desperately tried to act cute.
However, there was something odd about her outfit that Enna couldn’t put her finger on.
In a blink of an eye, Miranda had already walked up to them, pulled Enna’s hand intimately, and expressed her gratitude, “Enna, my mom told me everything. Thank you.”
Enna covertly pulled her hand back and said distantly, “I didn’t do it for you.”
Miranda, however, seemed to consider it otherwise, “Regardless, you helped me. Thank you, really, Enna.”
“I never thought Andy Pann would be that kind of person. I didn’t even know he was cooking the books and using my bank card to transfer dirty money… Anyway, I’m grateful for your help this time. Otherwise, that scumbag would have ruined me. Speaking of which, Enna, what’s your boyfriend’s last name? Is it Mr. Lawrence?” Miranda turned her head, her eyes glistening as she looked at the man across the table. She then solemnly thanked him, “Thank you, Mr. Lawrence.”
Baron Lawrence didn’t even spare her a glance. Bobby ignored her as well, not even bothering to ask who she was out of curiosity.
Miranda felt a bit awkward, her smile stiffening. However, she didn’t linger, withdrew her hand, and patted Enna’s shoulder, “Well, Enna, enjoy your meal. I won’t disturb you.”
Saying that, she actually walked away.
Miranda found a seat farther away and seemed to be ordering from a waiter. She didn’t appear to be an annoyance.
Surprise flashed through Enna’s eyes. She had thought that Michelle Lewis told Miranda about her rich boyfriend, and that Miranda relied on the help of her wealthy “boyfriend” this time. Hence, Miranda had ulterior motives and was targeting Baron Lawrence. Unexpectedly, Miranda didn’t have the shame to pester them.
Enna couldn’t make much sense of it, but she never dwelled on people who didn’t matter.
With the steak being served, she focused on her meal.
Both Baron Lawrence and Bobby were particular about table manners, and they hardly spoke during meals. Enna had gotten used to concentrating on eating without chatting.
After dealing with the steak and the dessert arrived, she took a bite when she heard her son Bobby say, “Mom, come with me to the beach to collect shells later. I want to play.”
Bobby immediately grinned and shot a triumphant look at the man across the table as if to say he’d evened the score.
The Dubious Man was too busy to play on the beach with his mother and him. Once he was occupied with work, Bobby planned to have a good talk with her!
