Chapter 819: Chapter 819: Not Like, But Love
Baron Lawrence had calmed down and said to him, “Do you really like Enna Clark that much?”
The proud man narrowed his gaze, looking into her eyes, “It’s not just liking, it’s love!”
He was committed to Enna Clark!
Liking was too paltry to describe his feelings for Enna Clark! He loved that woman! A love for her that was indispensable!
For a moment, Skye was stunned, but after her astonishment, her expression took on a more serious cast, and she spoke directly to Baron Lawrence, “I’m here because the Old Master sent me. The Old Master has seen the marriage announcement you posted online, and Terry Leigh is furious. He intended to come here himself, but I convinced him to let me come and try to persuade you, so he didn’t come. However, I won’t be able to hold him off for long. In this time, you had better think clearly about what you’re doing…”
“I’m very clear on what I’m doing!” Baron Lawrence interrupted her.
Skye had been surprised too many times that day, and even having her speech cut off by him didn’t seem to surprise her anymore, “Then let me put it more directly, the Old Master doesn’t like Ms. Clark, do you understand what I’m saying? I know she’s a member of the Habsden Family, and even as such, her status is a match for you. But our relations with the Goldsmith Family are already strained, and if you say you want to change now, the Goldsmith Family won’t agree, and neither will the Old Master.”
“My agreement is enough!” Baron Lawrence said nonchalantly, yet his eagle eyes showed no sign of yielding.
Skye might have been blind but could still see his stance. She took a deep breath, seemingly repressing some emotion, before saying, “Fine, since you’ve put it like that, I want to see if she’s worth your love.”
“What do you mean?” Baron Lawrence’s face, which had been casual, took on a sharper edge, and a hint of lethal intent flickered in his eyes as he stared into the eyes of the tall beautiful woman, enunciating each word, “Skye Lawrence, I’m warning you, don’t touch her!”
Skye had never seen him before; no matter what she did, her brother had always indulged her. This was the first time he had spoken to her in such a tone.
And those eyes were not deceiving her; when he said a warning, it was a genuine warning, not just some casual, offhand remark!
She was taken aback, but quickly regained her composure, letting out a laugh that alleviated the tense atmosphere, “I’m a woman too, even if I wanted to touch her, I don’t have the tools.”
Her laughter reduced some of her coolness, adding a dazzling quality. She was already a strikingly beautiful woman with a unique charisma, and her laughter really was captivating. Beside her, Cherysh Jordan and Amelia Young’s beauty suddenly seemed immature, nowhere near her league!
After she stopped laughing, she reached out and patted the shoulder of the man still with a tight face and no trace of a smile, “Okay, there’s no need to be so tense. I’m just taking a look, after all. You can’t even let me look at your treasure, can you?”
“She’s precious to me, an absolute untouchable treasure. Just remember that,” Baron Lawrence replied flatly.
Skye was taken aback again, her smile fading, becoming somewhat impatient, “I get it, she’s your treasure, your most precious treasure, is that good enough? Okay, I’m leaving now. You better go back and have dinner with your treasure.”
“Aren’t you joining us?”
Without hesitation, Skye walked away, leaving him with the view of her retreating figure, waving her hand, “No, I’d rather not with you looking like you might eat someone. It’s off-putting. I have plans with Adam Sinclair and Terry Leigh, I’m off.”
