Enna felt a sting on the corner of her lips, stifling a whimper.
She could see that he was jealous, and that his overbearing, controlling nature was acting up again!
It was necessary for her to clarify the situation so he wouldnât keep dwelling on the matter. âBaron Lawrence, it was just a coincidence that I bumped into the Duke you mentioned twice. We havenât even exchanged names; donât think too much about it.â
Her clear eyes only conveyed honesty.
Baron stared at her for a few moments, then suddenly let go of her hand. âI never said I didnât trust youâ¦â
â¦He actually hadnât trusted her.
Enna thought to herself but didnât say anything.
âEnna, tidy up your desk. Weâre leaving immediately.â Baron Lawrence set aside the matter of the Duke of Habsden, and his aristocratic demeanor returned. He commanded with ease, but as if he remembered something, he frowned, âNever mind, let my secretary do it.â
He picked up the car keys on the desk, came over, and took Ennaâs hand. âLetâs go.â
âWhere are we going?â Enna was confused as he led her away.
âLast stop of the day.â
â¦
It wasnât until the Bugatti parked in front of a top-tier infant and baby products store in the city center that Enna was taken aback.
âGet out of the car.â Baron Lawrence remained calm, turning off the engine, unbuckling his seat belt, and opening the door.
Enna followed him out of the car, puzzled by his actions. âBaron, I thought you said you had a schedule to keep?â
Could it beâ¦
She hesitated, âDoes your company have a baby products business too?â
She thought he mainly dealt in transportation, real estate, and technology businesses, never expecting something so⦠down to earth.
Enna really couldnât imagine Baron Lawrence inspecting new products like baby bottles and diapers. It felt so out of placeâ¦
Shit! Upon hearing her weird tone, Baron Lawrence immediately knew what she was thinking. He suddenly stopped and turned his face pale with anger, grasping Ennaâs wrist. âIn what universe did you see me in the baby products business?â
âThen whyâ¦â did he come here?
Before she could finish, Baron Lawrence cut her off fiercely, âShut up! Youâre not allowed to speak from now on!â If she continued, he feared heâd have the urge to strangle her.
Was she stupid or dumb? He wasnât here for work, and he certainly wasnât here for the scenery!n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Enna was pulled into the baby store by him.
Several saleswomen in the spacious two-story store immediately flocked over, âWelcome. How can we help? What products are you looking for? We can give you an introduction.â
The other saleswomen secretly gritted their teeth, cursuting themselves for not moving quickly enough; now the customers were someone elseâs.
Upon seeing Baron Lawrenceâs face, their gritting of teeth turned into gnashing.
Damn, they missed out on such a handsome man.
They could tell by the manâs aura alone that he was a big spender!
âClothes.â Baron Lawrence scanned the dazzling array of merchandise, ignoring the saleswomanâs attempt at flattery and getting straight to the point.
The saleswomanâs smile was as refreshing as a spring breeze. She immediately asked softly, âOf course, are you looking for clothes for a baby boy or girl? And how old is the baby?â
âI donât know. Less than two months.â
Enna looked at him in amazement, his last stop of the day was to bring her to a baby store to buy things?
Enna didnât know whether to laugh or cry.
But her baby was only a little over a month old; wasnât it too early to buy things now?
