Chapter 716: Chapter 716: The Big Sister also has Someone to Hug
Baron Lawrence’s eyes lightened and darkened like the midnight, casting a deep glance at her. His lips remained tightly pressed together, not uttering a word.
Just as Enna Clark was feeling anxious, thinking he was still angry, he suddenly bent down, carried her horizontally in his arms, and strode towards the upper floor.
“Ah.” Enna was startled by the sudden lift in her body.
Surprisingly, the man holding her either intentionally or unintentionally loosened his arms at that moment. She instinctively reached out with both hands and hooked them around his neck.
As soon as she did, the arms holding her became secure again.
“What?” Right after she spoke, she realized, “6204.”
Baron Lawrence held her in his arms and approached the elevator, impatiently ordering, “Press the floor button!”
“Baron Lawrence, put me down.”
“Don’t make me repeat myself twice.” Still as domineering and forceful as ever.
Enna knew this man’s temper too well and was completely at a loss. She could only try her best to reach for the elevator button while he carried her.
Although her composure had grown thicker over the past year, she couldn’t help but feel relieved that nobody else was in the elevator to witness her plight.
When someone has bad luck, even drinking cold water could cause toothache.
She had barely finished celebrating her fortune when a chime and the sound of a card swiping came from the corridor entrance.
Following the sounds, a family of three walked in chatting and laughing.
The woman exclaimed, “This year’s company annual party was really great, especially the Filet Mignon.”
“Of course, the company invited a Michelin chef, so it must be delicious. I’ll take you and Peaches to a Michelin restaurant when we get the chance.” The man laughed.
“Husband, you are so good to us.”
At the couple’s sweet moment, a crisp childlike voice chimed in, “Mummy, I want to be carried too.”
“We’re almost home, Peaches, let’s hold on a little longer.” The woman gently persuaded the little girl as they approached the elevator.
Once there, they saw a tall, handsome man who did not even glance at them. He held the woman in his arms as if he held the whole world, completely indifferent to the people around him. He exuded a sense of aloof nobility.
Those living here either owned their own companies or were executives of large corporations. They were generally of high quality and had seen quite a bit of the world.
Thus, although the couple did not know Baron Lawrence’s identity, they had already deemed him a person of importance. They instinctively stopped talking and maintained silence.
But the little girl didn’t understand these things. She only saw a handsome older brother holding an older sister. She immediately tugged at her mother’s clothes and sweetly whined, “Mummy, Older Sister is going home, and she has someone to carry her. I want to be carried too.”
“Peaches, Older Sister sprained her ankle.” The woman responded quickly, making an excuse.
“Oh~”The little girl said in a childish voice, “No wonder Older Sister is being carried.”
As children’s words were frank, Enna felt embarrassed, wishing she could crawl into a crack on the ground. With her cheeks crimson, she lowered her voice and whispered, “Baron Lawrence, put me down.”
Her request was ignored as if it was a mere tickling sensation.
The elevator door opened.
The cold, austere man carried her in first, while the family of three didn’t follow them in.
