Chapter 1289: Chapter 1289: A Furious Gaze Chapter 1289: Chapter 1289: A Furious Gaze “How soon is ‘right away’? A few minutes? Tens of minutes, or a few hours?”
With that attitude, he hardly seed like a little guy; he was totally acting like the man of the house.
And that domineering tone, just like soone. It was uncanny.
Enna Clark hadn’t noticed before, but now it felt like her little Bobby’s personality was increasingly leaning towards that certain soone.
He might put on a facade in front of others, but in front of her, he was utterly transparent.
She really started to wonder who was the son and who was the mom.
“About fifteen minutes.”
The little guy on the phone imdiately said, “3 minutes. If you’re not back in 3 minutes, I’m going to Uncle Harris to find you.”
“Bobby…” Enna Clark felt a need to correct him.
But it was as if Bobby had seen through to her thoughts, and before she could even start, he preempted her, “I can’t talk now; Gigi is calling . Granduncle is going to teach piano, I’m very busy. 3 minutes, I’ll wait for you to co back.”
After saying that, without giving Enna Clark a chance to speak, he hung up with a snap.
A busy signal ca from the phone, leaving Enna Clark with a pounding headache.
Despite his young age, Bobby was decisive and bold, with a temper to match.
Last ti, he dared Scott Harris to help him keep it a secret from Baron Lawrence and sneaked off with Gigi to Country W. If Enna didn’t get ho in 3 minutes, she truly believed that Bobby had the temperant to make Scott co looking for her.
Enna Clark checked the ti and calculated the ti Lyle Westbrook would take to change his clothes plus the trip back ho. If there was no traffic, she should be able to make it back in 3 minutes.
Nevertheless, she felt it was necessary to find ti to talk to her little Bobby about being overbearing.
…
Lyle Westbrook had simply changed his clothes and co back.
“Let’s go, Enna.”
Because of the call from Bobby, Enna Clark didn’t delay. She imdiately stood up, took her things, and said, “Okay.”
Lyle Westbrook saw she seed to be feeling a bit better and naturally extended his hand, “I’ll carry it for you.”
“No need, it’s just a bag, I can carry it myself.”
Lyle Westbrook didn’t like her being so formal with him and insisted with a firm voice, his hand still outstretched, “You’re not feeling well, let help.”
Unable to resist him, and acknowledging his good intentions, Enna Clark handed over her bag, “Alright, thank you.”
For the third ti…
Lyle Westbrook pursed his lips, a touch of bitterness at the corner of his mouth. He said nothing and walked ahead.
Enna Clark followed by his side, and to break the potentially awkward silence, she initiated a conversation about how he happened to be there.
Lyle Westbrook was naturally a pleasant person and picked up the conversation right away, casually chatting along with the topics Enna brought up.
The two figures, one tall and one short, one handso and one gentle, gave off an ineffable sense of compatibility. Moreover, with Lyle’s newly changed light blue shirt and Enna’s blue skirt, they appeared to be wearing matching outfits. With Lyle carrying her bag, they looked even more like a couple, and anyone who didn’t know better would have thought they were boyfriend and girlfriend at first glance!
Enna Clark was only thinking about getting back quickly and didn’t notice at all that at this mont around the corner, a domineering gaze had locked onto her. The barely contained raging fury in those eyes seed about to burst into flas, scorchingly focused on her as if trying to burn holes through her—
