"But..."
"I have to et a guest, you go rest." His attitude was forceful, but Enna Clark sensed the concern in his forceful deanor.
She didn’t insist any longer and followed the servant back to Baron Lawrence’s room to rest.
She had slept on the plane, and now she couldn’t fall asleep even if she wanted to, so she decided to find her laptop and browse so news about herself online.
After reading, she contacted Rhine and reviewed an ergency response eting.
After a busy round of work, it was already dark outside.
It wasn’t until after nine in the evening that Baron Lawrence ca in.
Together, they had dinner with Old Master Lawrence, picked Bobby and the others up from the airport, and put the two little ones to bed. Enna Clark was so exhausted that she fell asleep as soon as she hit the bed.
Before she drifted off, she vaguely rembered the man in the study was still working and hadn’t co to the bedroom yet...
The following days were the sa.
Baron Lawrence suddenly seed to get very busy, and sotis she wouldn’t see him for the whole day.
He always left in the morning before she woke up.
At night, he returned after she had already fallen asleep.
For several days in a row, Enna Clark thought it was strange and pondered whether to find a ti to wait for him and ask what he’s been busy with lately.
She wasn’t worried about him ssing around outside.
She was mainly concerned that he might encounter problems at work that she could help with.
Thinking to take action, she took Bobby shopping at the supermarket that afternoon and bought a lot of seafood.
She discussed the evening nu with Joanne Harrison, planning to wait for him to co back and have dinner together.
She was just about to call the man she hadn’t seen for days to discuss this when Edward Jackson called, "Hey, Little Uncle."
"Enna, did you return to Country W?"
"Just got back, Little Uncle, what’s up?" Enna Clark packed pepper powder into a bottle, holding the phone with her shoulder while answering his call.
"It’s nothing, I wanted to see if you’re free tonight to join at a dinner party. I couldn’t find a female companion." Edward Jackson’s tone was helpless.
Enna Clark imdiately knew Grandma was probably trying to set him up again.
Most likely, Grandma arranged a female companion for him, using her as an excuse for matchmaking, which he didn’t want, thus leaving him without a female companion and needing her to help out.
She thought about her evening schedule and was about to refuse but rembered it was the first ti Edward asked her for help. After pondering for a mont, she agreed, "I’m free. Where is it? Little Uncle, should I co directly to find you?"
"I’ll have a driver pick you up shortly, and I’ll send you the address."
"OK."
Enna Clark hung up the phone.
She said helplessly to Joanne Harrison, busy in the kitchen, "Sorry, Joanne, I probably won’t be able to have dinner tonight. I have sothing to attend to this evening. Could you help look after Bobby and the others? Mr. Harris will co by later. I’ll leave once Mr. Harris arrives."
Joanne Harrison had taken great care of her in Mauritius, and Enna Clark liked her kind-hearted, non-intrusive nature. She had heard that during the elevator incident, it was Joanne’s quick thinking that got Baron Lawrence to save her, so she kept Joanne around—not as a servant, but more to look after Gigi.
Joanne Harrison was also very diligent. She took great care of Gigi over the past few days and never tried to cozy up to Baron Lawrence, and Enna noticed she seed a bit afraid of him.
Basically, if Enna wasn’t around, Joanne Harrison wouldn’t dare to even get close to Baron Lawrence.
Enna didn’t know what Baron Lawrence did to make Joanne Harrison afraid of him.
Still, Joanne being afraid of Baron Lawrence was better than her trying to cozy up to him. Even with a good temper, Enna wouldn’t like another woman trying to cozy up to her lawful husband.
