Chapter 195 - 195: Must Be the Neighbor Lao Wang for My Son
Baron Lawrence would not let her pull her hand away. His abdomen was tense, his eyes fixed on Enna Clark, his thin lips touched slightly, “It has nothing to do with that Ms. Winters I mentioned; I’ll have Scott Harris throw her out later. Enna, I’ve told you already, I’m mysophobic. I won’t touch other women besides you. What else are you unsatisfied with?”
It wasn’t dissatisfaction, but rather knowing what it means to like him – it meant that she had to take a huge gamble, betting her heart!
She could lose anything but her heart.
Knowing that she couldn’t afford to lose, yet still wanting to like someone she was destined to lose, required immense courage that he couldn’t understand.
But…
She truly didn’t want to keep retreating and deliberately ignoring her heart’s surging emotions.
Enna took a deep breath, her eyes determined, and whispered, “First, let go of my hand. ”
Perhaps seeing her seriousness, Baron Lawrence slowly released her hand. He made up his mind that if this woman insisted on saying she wouldn’t consider liking him, he would…
Enna had no idea what he was thinking. If she knew, she certainly wouldn’t have spoken so easily, “I’ll give it a try.”
Baron Lawrence had been prepared for her rejection, but the surprise came unexpectedly fast. His heart, once fallen into the dust, soared to heaven in an instant! The ecstasy of being brought back from the brink of death made him forget he was in a car and suddenly stand up!
“Bang!” His head hit the roof of the car.
Enna was startled and quickly asked, “Baron Lawrence, are you alright?”
“I’m fine.” Despite his awkward and supposed-to-be-annoyed state, his mood was damn good! He clenched his fists, then loosened them, and repeated the process before finally confirming and asking, “What did you just say? Say it again.”
Enna hesitated for a moment and then, realizing, responded to his gaze and repeated seriously, “I said I’ll give it a try. But…” “No buts for now!” He didn’t want to hear any buts!
“Say it again.” ..’ll give it a try.”
“I want to hear it again!’
“…I’ll give it a try.”
Enna didn’t know how many times she had repeated herself. By the end, she had become impatient, but the overbearing man finally seemed satisfied. His thin lips suddenly curved up in a never-before-seen pleasant smile. “Do you know how long I’ve been waiting for you to say that?”
“Now that you’ve said it, remember it. Enna Clark, you wanted me. Since you wanted me, you can’t throw me away! Otherwise…”
Before he could finish his threat, Enna interrupted him, “I’ll give it a try. But before that, we need to set some ground rules.”
“First, whether or not we end up together, you cannot take Bobby away.”
“Second, you can’t just threaten me whenever you want.”
“Third, you can’t force me to do things.”
“Fourth, you can’t lose your temper in front of Bobby.”
“Fifth, pretend to be a stranger-uncle in front of Bobby.”
Baron Lawrence could barely stand to listen to her conditions, but the last one was truly unacceptable, and he frowned and refused, “Why do I have to pretend to be a stranger-uncle to my son?”
Enna had long considered this point, and her answer was very candid, “The numerous temptations around you due to your status mean that just because you like me now doesn’t mean you will like me forever. Don’t deny it just yet. I’ve thought this through very carefully; I absolutely won’t compromise on this!”
If she told Bobby from the beginning that Baron Lawrence was his father, then it would be very hurtful to him if Baron Lawrence found another woman and got married in the future.
Even if she was slightly tempted, she had to protect her son to the greatest extent..
