Chapter 680: Chapter 680: Did I Do Something Guilty?
In the evening, Enna Clark was waiting early in the room.
Apart from waiting, she had also prepared a table full of dishes.
At midnight, Baron Lawrence scaled the wall and came in on time.
As soon as he entered, he saw the table full of dishes. Before he could react, the woman sitting on the sofa stood up with her bright eyes and greeted him with a smile, “I knew you didn’t have dinner, so I didn’t eat either and waited for you. I’m so hungry, let’s eat.”
Baron Lawrence took long strides and walked over. His eagle-like eyes scanned the dishes, eighty percent of which were his favorites. His eyes flashed with suspicion, and his lips slightly pressed, “Enna Clark, have you done something guilty?”
He hit the nail on the head with just one sentence!
The person scooping the rice subtly hesitated, but it was only for a moment, too fast to notice, and immediately returned to normal. She twitched the corners of her mouth, her gaze slightly evasive, “I haven’t done anything guilty, you’re overthinking it.”
“Really?” Baron Lawrence obviously didn’t believe her.
There was something strange about this woman tonight. Although he couldn’t say exactly what it was, he just felt uneasy about it.
Enna Clark scooped a bowl of rice for him, and for herself as well. Then she picked up a piece of spare rib and put it in his bowl, “These ribs taste good, give it a try.”
Was she trying to change the subject? Baron Lawrence’s suspicion deepened, but he picked up his chopsticks, his eyes still fixed on her face, as if trying to decipher her.
Enna Clark didn’t expect to be seen through from the beginning, so she nervously gripped her chopsticks, trying to appear as relaxed as possible. She also picked up a spare rib for herself, took a bite, then looked up at him with a strange look in her eyes, “Eat, why aren’t you eating? Or have you already had dinner?”
“I haven’t.” There were too many things to deal with, and he was too busy and too rushed. He had to finish everything before nightfall, so he had no time for dinner at all.
However…
Baron Lawrence’s eyes suddenly narrowed, and he stared at her sharply, not touching the delicious ribs in his bowl. His thin lips pressed together, as if seeing through her thoughts, “Are you still thinking about what happened yesterday?”
“Yesterday’s event?” Enna Clark was bewildered and asked reflexively.
“The matter of the sex of the child in your belly.” Baron Lawrence put down his chopsticks, his handsome face darkened, “If you think you can persuade me with a soft approach, you’re wrong. I won’t change my mind on this matter. So, Enna Clark, don’t even think about it! If you dare to lecture me with all that nonsense, I’ll shut your mouth immediately!”
Of course, how he would shut her up went without saying.
Enna Clark felt embarrassed, her heart leaped into her stomach, and she quietly let out a breath. She thought that Baron Lawrence had seen through her plan, but fortunately, he only thought she was trying to use a honey trap to persuade him not to abort the child.
She knew early on that there was no way to persuade him. So…
Enna Clark teased the corner of her mouth, raised a clear smile, being especially submissive, and softly said, “I understand, let’s eat first. I’m really hungry, I’ve been waiting since the afternoon, and I only had some cookies to fill my stomach.”
Although Baron Lawrence felt that she hadn’t fully taken it to heart, he saw that she was genuinely hungry, so he picked up his chopsticks and began eating.
As soon as he started to eat, he stopped talking, and his demeanor returned to its usual arrogance and nobility.
