Enna Clark was silent for a moment, then pursed her lips, and looked into his eyes, âBut I didnât encounter any danger, and itâs unlikely that I would.â
âWhat if you did? Or what about later on? For example, what if today Lord asked me to protect not Ms. Clark but some military official?â His words made sense, and Ennaâs resentment towards Baron Lawrence gradually faded.
Regardless, she still felt guilty. âI still feel sorry about it.â
Seeing her guilty expression, Scott Harris felt a bit embarrassed and quickly interrupted her, âIt had nothing to do with Ms. Clark. I wasnât planning to mention it. I only spoke up because I saw that Ms. Clark was upset with Lord because of this. In fact, Lord didnât really punish me; he just told me to run a few extra laps around the military district playground after I return to Linton City. So, Ms. Clark, sometimes Lord can be stubborn and speak harshly. Please, donât take it to heart.â
Enna wanted to mention how Baron Lawrence had threatened to send Scott Harris to Yluria Country to mine coal in the elevator. However, seeing the admiration and respect in Scottâs eyes when mentioning Baron Lawrence, she swallowed her words.
But thanks to Scottâs intervention, she felt less oppressed than before.
Whatever, she wasnât planning to spend her life with Baron Lawrence anyway. Why should his stubbornness and persistence bother her? Why strain their relationship? If she angered him, wouldnât she be the one to suffer in the end? n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
With these thoughts in mind, Enna felt much better.
This good mood lasted until Scott introduced her to a few foreigners who then taught her some basic scuba diving techniques.
My Lord.â Scott was dutifully standing not far from the beach. Seeing the aloof man approaching, he immediately lowered his head to greet him.
Baron Lawrenceâs sharp eyes locked onto the figure in the water, not even glancing at Scott as he asked, âAre they ready yet?â
âMs. Clark learns fast; she should be ready to dive soon.â Scott hesitated, then added, âBut since this is Ms. Clarkâs first time, should we arrange for an instructor to accompany her?â
âIâll be there.â Three words, domineering and absolutely confident!
Scottâs expression turned solemn, and he said seriously, âIâll get everything ready immediately.â
âHmm.â
The seawater warmed by the sun felt lovely, not at all cold as it had appeared from the shore.
Following the instructorâs guidance, Enna repeatedly practiced with the scuba gear in the shallow water. This beach was enclosed by the hotel, so very few people came to play. Unlike the sea outside the Night Market, the coastal waters here were free of people, so one could actually see fish and crabs. Enna excitedly chased after fish and even caught a small crab. âLookâ¦â
As she was about to show off her catch to the instructor, she spotted an unsmiling man. The instructors who had been teaching her to dive had long since left the shallow water area. She felt a bit awkward but still called out, âBaron Lawrence, when did you come down?â
At some point, the handsome, cold man had changed into swim trunks. The perfectly exposed upper body was just enough to reveal his amazing mermaid line, which was incredibly sexy! Frowning, Baron Lawrence retorted, âDo I need your permission to come down here? Have you leased this beach or put your name on it?â
That attitude!
Enna had planned to mend her relationship with him and get along peacefully.
But hearing his rude sarcasm, the anger she had suppressed welled up again. She replied coolly, âThatâs not what I meant.â
Having lost the mood to play, she released the crab into the sea, saying, âIâll go back first, Young Master Lawrence. Take your time.â
Shit!
Baron Lawrence wanted to strangle her but couldnât bring himself to do it. Trying to suppress his anger, he took several deep breaths.. With a stone-cold face, he grabbed the girlâs hand just as she was about to leave the water, dragging her further into the sea!
