Chapter 1016: Chapter 1016: Old Master Lawrence’s Past Chapter 1016: Chapter 1016: Old Master Lawrence’s Past The distance from the living room to the study wasn’t far.
Along the way, the housekeeper was thinking of a way to notify Baron Lawrence about the old lord’s situation.
But he couldn’t find the opportunity, and in a blink of an eye, they had already reached the staircase.
“Wait here for !” Old Master Lawrence suddenly ordered.
The housekeeper had no choice but to bow his head, “Yes.”
Old Master Lawrence’s sharp gaze circled him once, and then he added half as a warning and half as a reminder, “I don’t want to see the Baron later, understand?”
The housekeeper was still thinking about sending a ssage to the young master while Old Master Lawrence was eting Ms. Clark alone. But before he could act, he had been seen through. His heart trembled at once, and he dared not make any rash moves. He bowed his head, respectfully saying, “Understood, Old Lord.”
Old Master Lawrence’s piercing gaze lingered on him for a few seconds before it finally withdrew, and he headed toward the study…
The housekeeper lifted his head, anxiously watching his retreating figure, but he was powerless.
What to do?
The Old Lord was serious this ti!
Having followed the Old Lord for decades, he knew that no one could change what the old lord was serious about!
The housekeeper held his breath, and despite his imnse anxiety, he dared not contact Baron Lawrence secretly because of Old Master Lawrence’s earlier warning.
The Old Master’s temperant was well known to him; since he had been warned, it ant his thoughts had been seen through. If he still secretly notified the young master after being warned, he would only anger the Old Master more!
Once the young master arrived, matters would really develop into an irreversible situation!
…
The housekeeper paced nervously alone at the stair entrance, not daring to co in or to make a phone call.
Enna Clark in the study, however, was completely unaware and focused on her own thing.
She hadn’t even noticed that an extra person had appeared at the door of the study!
Old Master Lawrence had co over with anger and determination, but his expression changed abruptly upon seeing the person folding thousand paper cranes in the study.
A face of a girl buried deep in his mory, one he deliberately avoided recalling, overlapped with that of Enna Clark…
In the vast Lawrence Castle, a lively and innocent girl quietly pulled a cool and detached boy aside, then took out a glass bottle from her backpack. It was filled with a jar full of paper cranes. The girl had a happy smile on her face, her bright and clear eyes looked as if she were presenting a treasure as she lifted the gift in front of him, grinning and saying,
—— “Archer, look, this is the gift I made for you, isn’t it pretty?”
—— “These are the thousand paper cranes I made. Didn’t you ask what I was doing with the paper last ti? I was making this.”
—— “Thousand paper cranes are the ssenger pigeons of angels. It’s said that wishes made with a thousand paper cranes will surely co true. I wish that the Madam will like . Look, I’ve made so many, she will definitely accept , right?”
The girl’s voice and smile replayed over and over in his mind, paused, and finally rged with the scene before his eyes…
He rembered that year he was 18, and it was at this exact ti of dusk when he passed by that person’s room. He saw her sitting at the desk, cutting paper and carefully folding thousand paper cranes.
At that ti, the afterglow of the sunset fell upon her, the orange warm sun bestowed a golden halo around her, making her look like an angel that had descended to earth.
She hadn’t noticed his presence.
So she would never know that he actually knew long ago what she had been making – thousand paper cranes!
