The sunlight came in through the window, and Enna Clark frowned. Her mind was still groggy from sleep, and she unconsciously reached out to her side, only to suddenly touch nothing!
Baron Lawrence!
Enna suddenly woke up in a cold sweat, opening her eyes.
As expected, there was nobody in the bed anymore.
But there was a note stuffed into her hand.
Enna picked up the note and lowered her head. On it, she saw a flamboyant message â Enna, trust me! Wait for me tonight!
Her racing heart steadied.
So last night wasnât a dream, nor was it an illusion. Baron Lawrence had really come to see her.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Coming to see her on the night of the engagement meant he hadnât gotten engaged to another woman.
But if Baron Lawrence hadnât gotten engaged to another woman, then⦠she thought of what Edward Jackson had said and her heart tightened again.
Just then, a nurse knocked on her door, bringing breakfast.
âGood morning, Miss.â
âMorning.â
Enna greeted her and discreetly tucked the note into her pocket.
Seeing Ennaâs good complexion, the nurse brightened up too, âMiss, the Duke came to see you last night but didnât disturb you since you were resting. He really is good to you.â
Ennaâs mouth twitched, and she suddenly raised her head and said to her, âI want to see Mr. Jackson now. Is that possible?â
âNow?â The nurse hesitated since Enna had never taken the initiative to make a request during her stay, keeping her distance even when with the Duke. But she quickly composed herself and politely responded, âOf course, Miss, please follow me.â
âUh, shouldnât you check if Mr. Jackson has time first?â Enna couldnât help but ask, surprised the nurse was taking her directly to see Edward.
âThe Duke has instructed that Miss can see him anytime she desires.â The nurse calmly replied, âMiss, please follow me.â
Enna followed her with mixed emotions.
This was the first time she had set foot out of her room in five days, and she realized that the European-style garden mansion was truly stunning. The rounded rectangle architecture, the garden, and the fish pond were exceptionally beautiful. The nurse led her through a corridor and stopped in front of a room that looked like a conference room.
âThe Duke is in here.â
After stating so, she walked to the door and knocked twice.
The door suddenly opened, and Enna saw Hayes, the blond-haired, green-eyed man she had seen several times accompanying Edward. She remembered that Edward called him âHayes.â
âMiss.â As Hayes saw her, he also greeted her with the same respectful demeanor as the nurse, âMaster is in a meeting. If you could wait a moment, Iâll immediately inform him that you have arrived.â
Edward is in a meeting?
Enna felt a bit embarrassed and quickly waved her hand, âNo, no need, thereâs nothing urgent. I can wait.â
âAlright.â Although he said so, Hayes had already entered the conference room.
In less than five minutes.
The meeting inside seemed to have been interrupted, and twenty to thirty people walked out of the conference room. As they passed Enna, they looked at her in surprise, as if they were witnessing something truly incredible.
Wasnât the Duke of Habden notoriously strict with women and never allowed them to disturb his work? How come this time he interrupted an important meeting halfway for a woman?
