Chapter 1168: Chapter 1168: Lord, Itâs Time Chapter 1168: Chapter 1168: Lord, Itâs Time Baron Lawrence couldnât reach it on his first try, his brows furrowed tightly, as if they were about to tie a knot.
With persistent determination, he jumped up a second, third, fourth time⊠Enna Clark watched the man high above, like any ordinary man, childishly jumping to help her retrieve the small object hanging from the treetop.
His striking appearance alone drew plenty of attention, and as he kept leaping up to grab at the treetop, a few people even stopped to watch, curious about what he was doing.
The man being watched didnât care about the eyes on him, his gaze locked as if the only thing that existed was the object hanging from the treetop.
Enna hadnât forgotten about the injury on his back and hurriedly called out to him, âBaron Lawrence, I donât want to watch anymore. I donât want it, letâs go.â
Damn it!
She clearly wanted it!
Baron Lawrenceâs lips formed a straight line, the wound on his back ached as it was pulled, but he acted as if he couldnât feel the pain, his eyes fixedly on the object that was swinging back and forth from his touches, he took a step back, then leaped forward, finally grasping the object hanging from the treetop.
He gripped it tightly, yanking the firmly attached object down!
Enna Clark hadnât expected that he would actually succeed in getting it down and was momentarily stunned.
The proud manâs forehead was covered with a fine layer of sweat; his eyes sparkling, he walked up to her, took her hand, and placed a small metal object in her palm, âHere, take it!â
His casual tone made it seem as if he wasnât the one who had just gone to great lengths to retrieve the object for Enna!
Enna could feel the cool metallic sensation in her palm. She looked down and realized that the object of her curiosity was simply a metal teddy bear keychain. Such keychains sold for no more than 0.75 dollars, yet Baron Lawrence had spent more than ten minutes trying to fetch it for her!
Enna gripped the keychain tightly, its edges pressing against her palm, and she felt an indescribable emotion surging within.
It was an overwhelming feeling, so full it seemed as if it was about to spill out.
âBaron Lawrence, IâŠâ She had barely uttered a word.
When a man dressed as a chauffeur quickly ran over, found Baron Lawrence, wiped the sweat off his forehead, and urgently said, âLord, timeâs up, we need to go back.â
âSo soon?â
âYes, itâs been an hour.â It was the one-hour time limit that had elapsed, and since he hadnât seen him coming back, he had hurriedly gone to look for him.
Luckily, his lordship hadnât gone too far with Ms. Clark.
Baron Lawrence furrowed his brows, his face clouded with displeasure. He gave the innocent chauffeur a glance and then looked back at Enna Clark, saying, âI need to leave, the Old Manâs people are still waiting for me to finish the meeting.â
âYou just arrived, and youâre leaving so quickly?â He had only just had dinner.
So, he came all this way just to have dinner with her?
Baron Lawrence wanted to stay more than anyone, but for her, he had to force himself to leave! His eyes darkened, struggling to suppress the impulse to meld her into his body and take her with him, âDonât you have an arrangement with the Old Man? If you donât want to lose, I must go.â
If she wanted to back out of the bet, all the better; he wouldnât need to restrain himself any longer.
Enna Clark clearly didnât grasp the subtext in his words. She pursed her lips, her clear eyes earnestly saying, âThen take care on your way.â
Take care on your way!
Shit!
Where was this womanâs emotional intelligence! At times like this, shouldnât a typical woman be throwing herself at him, sharing a passionate kiss, cooing with unfeigned reluctance, not letting him go?
Instead, there she was, practically wishing him good riddance at the mention of the Old Man!
