Bobby had already come home from school.
Because Enna was recovering in Linton City, Bobby had temporarily enrolled in Brilliant Nursery School for the time being. As an elite nursery school, Brilliant let children out quite early in the afternoon, and Bobby got home by four oâclock. Enna or Scott Harris would usually pick him up.
When Enna and the others arrived, Bobby was sitting on the sofa playing with his iPad, watching Boonie Bears. Hearing noise at the entrance hall, he immediately put down his iPad, jumped off the sofa, and ran towards Enna, âWoman, youâre back.â
Out of habit, he tried to give Enna a big hug, but to his surprise, someone intervened, grabbing the back of his collar, âNo more hugs allowed.â
Being held by his collar, Tobias widened his eyes in displeasure and demanded, âWhy not!â
Why couldnât he hug his own woman!
Baron Lawrenceâs beautiful eyes were indifferent as he glanced at Bobby and tersely replied, âNo reason. You just canât.â
âIâm not okay with that! I want to hug her!â Tobias was not afraid of him and immediately protested. He tried to kick his short legs while his crystal-like tender face turned red from holding his breath, âPut me down!â
âIt looks like you donât want that money from Tri-Union.â A calm threat floated over.
The little boy, who had been struggling uncooperatively just moments ago, suddenly stopped moving as if heâd been paralyzed. He stared at the arrogant man with his grape-like eyes in disbelief, blurting out, âHow did you know?â
Recently, he had taken a liking to a stock and had invested all his remaining money in it.
However, the stockâs performance had not been as steady as he had initially anticipated, which was now causing Tobias much distress.
But how did Dubious Man know about his stock purchase when even Enna didnât know about it?
He even knew which stock he had bought.
Of course Baron Lawrence knew. There was nothing he couldnât find out if he put his mind to it. He had known about Tobiasâs stocks in the capital city from the very beginning but had just never mentioned it. He had watched impassively as Tobias made a fortune on his first-ever, well-timed investment, became bolder and bolder, and finally got his money stuck in the market. It must be said that the little guy had a good head on his shoulders, but he was only five years old, and his judgment was still immature: âTri-Union is going to drop further.â
Tobiasâs heart tightened. More declines⦠hadnât it fallen sharply enough already?
How did Dubious Man know it would continue to fall?
Tobias wanted to ask but didnât because of his pride. Baron Lawrence glanced at him and took the initiative to say, âCome to my study later, and Iâll tell you. On one condition â you canât hug Enna in the meantime.â
Tyrant! Tobiasâs gaze conflicted, and he looked at Enna and then at the man who seemed to know exactly what he would choose. His small mouth pursed almost into a straight line, and it took him a long while to reluctantly mumble, âFine, I wonât hug her.â It was only temporary after all.
When he made more money than Dubious Man, he would take his woman far away and get back at him!
For now, he needed to learn from the great general Han Xin, to endure âthe humiliation under oneâs crotchâ!
Enna heard the conversation between the two â one tall, one short â but didnât understand their cryptic language. She put down her bag and asked, âWhat is Tri-Union? Whatâs this about a decline? Are you talking about stocks?â
Tri-Union, she remembered it was a brand of ham sausage.
Bobby responded faster than anyone, quickly saying in a childish tone, âItâs nothing, weâre talking about ham sausage.â
