Isla Johnson could hear Enna Clark talking about them and accused her incredulously, âWere you eavesdropping on our conversation?!â
âYou were talking so loudly that it would have been hard for me not to hear. Besides, you were talking about my boyfriend and mentioning me. As the person involved, shouldnât I listen?â Enna Clark didnât give in at all.
Seeing Ennaâs candid attitude and Baron Lawrenceâs protective posture even though he didnât say a word, Isla felt bewildered. She subconsciously turned back to Amelia Young and asked, âIvy, whatâs going on? Werenât you just Young Master Lawrenceâs girlfriend? Why is she saying that sheâs the real girlfriend?â
Amelia Young had never been so annoyed by Islaâs naïveté. After Ennaâs words, she had already lost face, and Islaâs question seemed like adding fuel to the fire.
She looked up at the tall and handsome man, her beautiful eyes filled with pleading and helplessness.
Enna also saw it and furrowed her eyebrows. She took a step to the left, blocking Ameliaâs view, and stared coldly at her, âWhat are you looking at my boyfriend for, Ms. Young? Your friend is asking you a question, and youâre not answering, but you keep staring at my boyfriend. Isnât that a bit inappropriate?â
With each mention of âmy boyfriend,â Ennaâs voice was soft and crisp, making Baron Lawrenceâs heart bloom with happiness.
Suppressing his desires, he didnât immediately take her back home, lay her on the bed, and listen to her tender words.
But the intense gaze he had for Enna could not be ignored by anyone.
Isla and Amelia also noticed the gaze. Isla became even more doubtful, while Ameliaâs face grew uglier. Amelia hesitated to explain, âI never said I was Young Master Lawrenceâs girlfriend, Isla. It was always you who said that I was, so you must have misunderstood.â
Isla opened her eyes wide, as if she had met Amelia for the first time, âYou just admitted that you were his girlfriend, and said that Young Master Lawrenceâs status is extraordinary and that he will inevitably attract women! You dare to say you didnât say that?â
âI did say thatâ¦â
âThen you..â
Amelia immediately explained, âYouâve always misunderstood that I was his girlfriend, and I didnât know how to explain it to you, so I never did. But then you told me that people were talking about a woman always with Young Master Lawrence. I only discussed the matter, because his status means there will always be women who like him, especially since heâs so outstanding.â
After a pause, she concluded, âThatâs all I meant. You just listened to the two sentences together and misunderstood me.â
Although she was talking about Isla, she indirectly pointed at Ennaâs jealousy. She didnât mean it, but Enna embarrassed her in front of Baron Lawrence. That was petty and impulsive. Amelia also subtly praised Baron Lawrenceâs excellence.
Isla understood now. She had been trying to stand up for her friend, but Amelia took advantage of her. At the critical moment, Amelia sought to push the blame onto Isla! Outraged, Isla glared at Amelia and sneered, âAmelia Young, not everyone in this world is stupid except you! When you treat others like fools, they actually see you as the fool! Fine, I misunderstood, itâs my mistake. But this will be the only time I ever misunderstand you. Even if you beg me, I wonât ever do it again!â
