Baron Lawrence watched her enter the elevator, and only after the doors had closed did he coolly stuff his hands into his pockets and walk back.
He returned home.
As soon as he entered, he heard someone humming a song cheerfully. Seeing him, they greeted him with a smile as if blessed by the spring breeze, âYouâre back?â
After Enna Clark greeted him, she noticed he was alone, and asked in surprise, âWhereâs your sister?â
Dammit, was she still looking forward to seeing Skye Lawrence?!
Was her brain filled with water?
Baron Lawrenceâs expression stiffened, âShe left.â
âShe didnât stay for a meal? I even cooked her favorite dish.â Enna Clark was a bit disappointed; she had wanted to observe more of how Skye and Baron interacted.
After all, she had been oppressed for so long, and it was a rare sight for her to see someone who could oppress him; it scratched an itch in her heart.
âDo you really want to have a meal with her?â Baron Lawrence asked, his tone displeased.
Enna Clark wasnât afraid of him at all; she glanced at him and said unabashedly, âYes.â
ââ¦â
This woman, ever since she returned, had become increasingly bold!
âBy the way, what did your sister want from you?â
âItâs none of your business!â
His tone tightened as he saw right through her petty tricks. He grabbed her wrist and led her inside, saying as they walked, âEnna Clark, remember this, if she comes looking for you, donât pay her any attention!â
Ignore her?
How could that be possible?
She was his sister, and they were especially close. No matter what, it couldnât be right for her to ignore Skye, that would be too impolite.
âYour sisterâs going to look for me?â
âDonât pay her any attention!â Baron Lawrence stressed again.
Enna Clark spoke frankly, âHow could I possibly do that? Sheâs your sister. If she comes looking for me, thereâs no way I could ignore her.â
Shit!
Why wouldnât she listen?
Baron Lawrence, irritated, grabbed her shoulders, emphasizing again, âI told you not to pay her any attention, and thatâs what you should do!â
ââ¦â
He realized that his own emotions were too agitated and pressed down the frustration in his heart, his handsome face softened as he said, âSheâs crazy when people are around. If she latches onto you, sheâll annoy you to death.â
Skye Lawrence was not just crazy in company, but also had a strong and domineering way of doing things, very much like the Old Manâs style.
Even though Enna Clark had learned some things while she was with the Habsden Family and had improved, compared to Skye, she was still a bit weaker.
He couldnât possibly be with her 24 hours a day, and if Skye bullied her, even though he could avenge her later, it was still a loss for Enna.
In short, Enna Clark would do best to keep her distance from Skye Lawrence!
âDonât get in touch with Skye Lawrence, donât listen to her nonsensical talk; itâs best to take a detour when you see her.â
Enna Clark could see that he really didnât want her getting involved with Skye, and although she didnât know why, she nodded anyway, âI understand.â
âDo you really understand?â Baron Lawrence doubted her.
This woman, Enna Clark, always talked pretty, but she was unreliable when it really mattered.
If Skye truly found her, knowing her as he did, she definitely wouldnât heed his advice. Certainly, she would think Skye was his sister, a senior relative, and that it would be too impolite not to be politeâ¦
âJust remember what I said, donât talk to her, donât bother with her, ignore her when you see her! At most she will only curse you a few times; if you ignore her, she canât do anything to you.â
Enna Clark was especially surprised by his reaction; hadnât Scott Harris said that they had a good relationship? Why didnât it seem that way? At least she felt that Baron Lawrence seemed not to trust his sister at all. That feelingâit was as if his sister was some ferocious beast that would eat people alive.
âWhat are you daydreaming about, did you hear me?!â
Enna Clark, exasperated by his nagging, humored him with a, âI heard you.â@@novelbin@@
Only then did Baron Lawrence seem to be reassured and let her go.
