Chapter 604: Adam Sinclair’s phone call
All night, Enna Clark had the sense of being tightly embraced, the heat keeping her sleepless. Only towards six in the morning did the oppressive feeling lift, and overcome with drowsiness, she sunk into a state of half-slumber.
She did not see the man rise from the bed and, unlike usual, he did not immediately go to the bathroom to shower, but stood silently by the bed. After watching her for a long while, he pursed his lips and went into the bathroom.
Half an hour later, the bathroom door opened.
Baron Lawrence casually took a white shirt from the wardrobe and paired it with a wristwatch. After getting dressed, he left the bedroom, casually pulling the bedroom door shut behind him.
The moment he stepped out of the bedroom, his expression turned cold. He picked up his new phone that had been delivered the night before from the table and switched it on.
There were dozens of missed calls. Apart from business calls, they were all from the same number.
He walked over to the floor-to-ceiling windows, drew the curtains, and gazed down at the city’s early morning scenery before returning the call.
The call was answered almost instantly.
“Hello, Baron. You’ve finally returned my call! Do you know I was about to fly to Yluria Country to find you if you didn’t! Olivia Lewis is pregnant, do you know that? She’s pregnant! She kept it from me. If she hadn’t gone missing, I’d still be in the dark.”
The woman’s secrecy was so effective that he had not suspected anything. Had this incident not happened, he would still be in the dark…
He had taken precautions with every woman, he had no idea how Olivia became pregnant. But one thing he was absolutely sure about was that if Olivia was pregnant, the child would definitely be his.
“Baron, what happened? Why did your family kidnap Olivia? And when I called Scott Harris, why was he silent about everything? What’s going on!”
Baron Lawrence had not spoken a word from beginning to end. Only after the anxious barrage of questions stopped, did Baron Lawrence lowered his gaze. His peripheral vision caught sight of the bandaged wound on his left hand, giving rise to an unspeakable oppression in his heart. He quickly averted his gaze, focusing on the red wine displayed on the wine cabinet. He strode over, opened a bottle, and poured himself a glass.
“Baron, are you listening to me? I don’t know what happened, but Olivia is pregnant and I’m worried about her. Do you understand what I mean? I just want to know what on earth is going on?”
Baron Lawrence raised his head; he’d already consumed half of the red wine in his hand. The morning liquor slid down his throat, the spicy grape flavor burning up his stomach.
His stomach had never been strong, and after such turmoil, it began to protest against the alcohol with a dull ache.
Adam Sinclair was truly getting angry now!
Ever since Olivia was kidnapped, he hadn’t had a moment’s rest. Baron’s phone was turned off, and although he could find Scott Harris, Scott wouldn’t say anything. Adam knew for sure that the Lawrence family had taken Olivia. Adam suddenly found out that Olivia was pregnant and after finally getting a response from Baron, Baron didn’t utter a single word. Even the best of friends would get worried and angry under such circumstances!
“What do you mean by this? I’m talking to you! Do you still consider me a friend?! Right now, I want to know where Olivia is! What do you know, give me a straight answer! If you don’t know, I’ll find another way!”
