Chapter 657: Baron Lawrence, I miss you
Before Enna Clark could finish speaking, he clamped her jaw shut, looking like he was about to explode. He growled in a low voice, “So where do you think I should be right now? At an engagement banquet with another woman? Enna Clark, would you be happy if I got engaged to a woman who is not you?”
“I wouldn’t.” This accusation caught Enna by surprise. She was unclear about what made her seem happy to him. She was just shocked, shocked at how he was able to find her, and how he was able to evade the Duke of Habden’s men and climb over the wall into her room.
Baron Lawrence narrowed his hawk-like eyes as if he was convinced she was guilty, grinding his teeth, “I think you are very happy!”
Damn it, wasn’t she supposed to tell him how much she missed him these days when she saw him? How miserable she has been? This heartless woman didn’t seem to miss him at all!
As if from start to finish, he was the only one going crazy these past few days!
Enna wasn’t sharing his life for the first time, and she understood his thought process to some extent. She immediately realized what he was angry about and smiled faintly, her bright eyes sparkling like stars fixed on him. She reached out, hooking her arm around the waist of the man towering over her, and whispered softly, “Baron Lawrence, I missed you.”
The man’s gloomy expression immediately became cloudy.
“I’ve been worried these past few days, worried about how you would react when you found out that I was missing. Whether you would get angry and smash things, whether you would disregard your own injuries… Then I saw the news online. My first reaction was that you might have been threatened. But I couldn’t contact you, and despite trying, I couldn’t…”
“When you saw the news, didn’t you think that I was going to abandon you and get engaged to someone else?”
Baron Lawrence was going to abandon her and get engaged to someone else? Enna was taken aback. This thought never crossed her mind.
These past few days she thought about his reaction when he would find out she was missing, she considered that he might have been threatened, she pondered many things, but she never considered that Baron Lawrence would abandon her?
If he hadn’t brought it up, she wouldn’t have realized that she never thought about this possibility at all.
Why had she never suspected his loyalty?
Based on looks, talent, and family background, Emily Goldsmith seemed to outshine her in every aspect. It’s normal for men to prefer novelty. How could she not have considered that Baron Lawrence would lose interest in her and be attracted to Emily Goldsmith?
When she saw the news, her first thought was whether Baron Lawrence had been threatened by the Old Master. Was there something she didn’t know about that compelled him to compromise and agree to the engagement?
After speaking, Baron Lawrence saw the woman beneath him spaced out, apparently deep in thought about his question. His hawk-like eyes suddenly became grave, and he roughly lifted her chin, interrupting her trance, “Enna Clark, no unruly thoughts! And when you’re with me, no spacing out!”
“…I’m not having unruly thoughts. I’m just considering the question you just asked me.”
“There’s no need to think about that question!”
All he wanted was for her to say that she believed him!
If he had known she would think for so long, he wouldn’t have even asked!
Seeing his impatient expression, Enna was left speechless. He was the one who asked the question, and yet he was the first to lose patience… the next time he asked a question, should she give it some thought, or not think about it at all?
