Chapter 848: Chapter 848: Don’t Want to See the Ugly Expression on Her Face
“No, I just didn’t expect…” Enna Clark was simply astonished, and amidst her astonishment was an indescribable emotion. Suddenly, she had so much she wanted to say to him, “Baron Lawrence, thank you.”
The myriad of words that reached her lips turned into a simple three-word phrase.
However, the domineering and arrogant man was not appeased by these three words. He forcefully grasped her chin, his hawk-like eyes boring into her face as if trying to pierce a hole through it, his thin lips touched hers once above and below, “I prefer to hear you say another three words.”
What he really wanted to hear from her mouth was “I love you.”
Of course, besides that, “I like it when you call me by my name.” That gave him a damned sense of belonging!
Wasn’t his name just three words as well?
The vague and indescribable emotion in Enna’s heart was abruptly disrupted by his forcefulness, vanishing completely. However, somewhere in her heart, she felt an uncontrollable softening. She tiptoed, leaned forward, and took the initiative to kiss his lips.
At first, she felt a bit awkward, just like a dragonfly skimming the water, but then she boldly learned from his way of kissing and used it on him.
His eyes, bright as a hawk’s, watched the woman so close at hand, almost unable to believe his own eyes.
Enna Clark was kissing him?
Kissing him on her own accord?
The fire in his eyes was ignited in an instant!
He turned the tables, quickly taking control and deepening the kiss.
After the kiss ended, Enna Clark could feel the man above her breathing heavily, trying his best to endure.
Her heart was warm and filled, leaning against his chest, listening to his strong Heartbeat, she slowly began to speak, “Baron Lawrence, the day Jacob Clark found me, he told me that before my mom died, she had sought him out. She told him she didn’t want his money, just hoped he would not disturb my life in the future and wanted me to have a healthy, peaceful, and happy childhood. But she didn’t know that her simple wish became the reason Jacob Clark wanted her dead… When I heard that, I felt incredibly upset. Do you understand that kind of upset? I don’t know how to describe it. It was really tough, indescribably tough.”
Baron Lawrence could not understand that kind of emotion, because his birth mother and Enna’s were completely different people, but he could see that the person leaning into his embrace needed someone to share with.
Though he neither understood nor could he imagine that kind of feeling, he still assertively wrapped his arms around her waist, his hawk-like eyes fiercely fixed on hers, meeting her eyes that were struggling with the pain. His own heart clenched, as though it had contracted a terminal illness, and suddenly began to ache! His brows furrowed deeply, his hand gripped Enna’s face, and with a tug, he pulled a comical smile out of her before saying, “You’re not particularly good-looking to begin with, so you’re not allowed to make such ugly expressions!”
“Baron! Lawrence!” She was seriously sharing her feelings with him, and under such distress, what was he doing!
“Helping you with a facelift!”
“… You’re the one who needs a facelift!” His entire family needs a facelift!
Enna Clark felt like he was treating her face like putty, kneading it until her features were all distorted. Without looking, she knew how ridiculous she must appear. She tried to pull away his hands, but with his meddling, the gloom in her heart dispersed like the tide.
