Baron Lawrence had calmed down and said to him, âDo you really like Enna Clark that much?â
The proud man narrowed his gaze, looking into her eyes, âItâs not just liking, itâs love!â
He loved Enna Clark!
He was committed to Enna Clark!
Liking was too paltry to describe his feelings for Enna Clark! He loved that woman! A love for her that was indispensable!
For a moment, Skye was stunned, but after her astonishment, her expression took on a more serious cast, and she spoke directly to Baron Lawrence, âIâm here because the Old Master sent me. The Old Master has seen the marriage announcement you posted online, and Terry Leigh is furious. He intended to come here himself, but I convinced him to let me come and try to persuade you, so he didnât come. However, I wonât be able to hold him off for long. In this time, you had better think clearly about what youâre doingâ¦â
âIâm very clear on what Iâm doing!â Baron Lawrence interrupted her.
Skye had been surprised too many times that day, and even having her speech cut off by him didnât seem to surprise her anymore, âThen let me put it more directly, the Old Master doesnât like Ms. Clark, do you understand what Iâm saying? I know sheâs a member of the Habsden Family, and even as such, her status is a match for you. But our relations with the Goldsmith Family are already strained, and if you say you want to change now, the Goldsmith Family wonât agree, and neither will the Old Master.â@@novelbin@@
âMy agreement is enough!â Baron Lawrence said nonchalantly, yet his eagle eyes showed no sign of yielding.
Skye might have been blind but could still see his stance. She took a deep breath, seemingly repressing some emotion, before saying, âFine, since youâve put it like that, I want to see if sheâs worth your love.â
âWhat do you mean?â Baron Lawrenceâs face, which had been casual, took on a sharper edge, and a hint of lethal intent flickered in his eyes as he stared into the eyes of the tall beautiful woman, enunciating each word, âSkye Lawrence, Iâm warning you, donât touch her!â
Skye had never seen him like this before; no matter what she did, her brother had always indulged her. This was the first time he had spoken to her in such a tone.
And those eyes were not deceiving her; when he said a warning, it was a genuine warning, not just some casual, offhand remark!
She was taken aback, but quickly regained her composure, letting out a laugh that alleviated the tense atmosphere, âIâm a woman too, even if I wanted to touch her, I donât have the tools.â
Her laughter reduced some of her coolness, adding a dazzling quality. She was already a strikingly beautiful woman with a unique charisma, and her laughter really was captivating. Beside her, Cherysh Jordan and Amelia Youngâs beauty suddenly seemed immature, nowhere near her league!
After she stopped laughing, she reached out and patted the shoulder of the man still with a tight face and no trace of a smile, âOkay, thereâs no need to be so tense. Iâm just taking a look, after all. You canât even let me look at your treasure, can you?â
âSheâs precious to me, an absolute untouchable treasure. Just remember that,â Baron Lawrence replied flatly.
Skye was taken aback again, her smile fading, becoming somewhat impatient, âI get it, sheâs your treasure, your most precious treasure, is that good enough? Okay, Iâm leaving now. You better go back and have dinner with your treasure.â
âArenât you joining us?â
Without hesitation, Skye walked away, leaving him with the view of her retreating figure, waving her hand, âNo, Iâd rather not with you looking like you might eat someone. Itâs off-putting. I have plans with Adam Sinclair and Terry Leigh, Iâm off.â
