His handsome face changed back again, his eagle-like eyes seemed to flash a hint of gloom. Although he was extremely irritated, he still looked into Enna Clarkâs eyes without avoiding them.
After a brief silence, Baron Lawrence looked straight at Enna and said, word by word, âShe is the marriage partner arranged for me by the family.â
âMarriageâ¦partner?â Ennaâs heart tightened as she heard the answer she least wanted to hear. Her entire body froze, and she subconsciously asked, âWhy?â
Baron Lawrence watched her reaction, his heart feeling as if it was being split open, but his handsome face remained calm and collected, âBecause, the Old Man thinks you are not good enough for me.â
Enna also remained calm, âIs there any other reason besides this?â
âNo.â Baron Lawrence shook his head, not wanting to mention that the Old Man had involved Olivia Lewis and her Grandpa.
Even though he didnât say it, Enna could still make out the general idea.
She was not worthy of him.
Whether it was her status or other aspects, she was not good enough for him.
This was something Enna knew very well in her heart.
In the past, she had always innocently believed that as long as they loved each other, everything else wouldnât be a problem.
But she was wrong. Only after Baron Lawrence entered her life did she realize thatâ
What she wanted was to stand side-by-side with Baron Lawrence, not to cower beneath him.
âI can become excellent, and make myself worthy of you.â
Enna suddenly spoke, causing Baron Lawrence to freeze for a few seconds. His rough fingertips brushed over her lips, âYouâve already bewitched me so much, arenât you excellent enough?â
âNo!â He actually had the mood to tease her.
Enna stretched out her hand to grip his sleeve tightly, swallowed hard, and looked desperately into his eyes, âI can learn! Aristocratic etiquette, horse riding, golf, waltz, politics, flower arrangement, tea-makingâ¦and my education, I can learn all of it. If I learn these things, will your Grandpa agree to let us be together?â
ââ¦â
Baron Lawrence felt as though his neck was being clamped, and his breathing became labored.
Especially when he was being stared at by Ennaâs eyes filled with expectation, it was as if heâd been slapped hard, giving him the urge to kill!
He really wanted to say he would agree.
But he knew that Enna wasnât a brainless woman, and even though he could deceive her temporarily, he couldnât deceive her forever!
The Old Man would never agree!
Even if Enna did everything perfectly and learned all those things, the Old Man would still not agree, because he believed that Ennaâs unworthiness lay in her status! But if he were to say this himself, it would only hurt her more.
Hurting Enna, for him, was even more unbearable than death!
ââ¦So he wonât agree?â Enna really wasnât a brainless woman, and from the moment he became silent, her eyes began to gradually darkenâ¦
Baron Lawrence was like a wolf forced to a dead end. Facing that pair of dimming eyes, the flames in his chest surged even more fiercely. He suddenly reached out, forcefully pulling her into his arms, lowered his head, and pressed his lips against hers.
His kiss was like a whirlwind, as if it were meant to turn Ennaâs world upside down, extracting every inch of sweetness between her lips and teeth.
He continued to kiss her until her lips were bruised, without stopping.
His kissing skills were originally amazing, and when he focused on the kiss with all his body and soul, he almost drowned her in it.
When the kiss ended, he released her.
Enna was already gasping for breath when she heard the manâs hoarse voice above her, âIt wonât be like this anymore, Enna, I donât need you to make any changes.â
He wouldnât let her show that expression again!
Enough!
It was all enough!
