BXBX NOVEL Chapter 60 - 60: Drag her into the sea!
Enna Clark was silent for a moment, then pursed her lips, and looked into his eyes, “But I didn’t encounter any danger, and it’s unlikely that I would.”
“What if you did? Or what about later on? For example, what if today Lord asked me to protect not Ms. Clark but some military official?” His words made sense, and Enna’s resentment towards Baron Lawrence gradually faded.
Regardless, she still felt guilty. “I still feel sorry about it.”
Seeing her guilty expression, Scott Harris felt a bit embarrassed and quickly interrupted her, “It had nothing to do with Ms. Clark. I wasn’t planning to mention it. I only spoke up because I saw that Ms. Clark was upset with Lord because of this. In fact, Lord didn’t really punish me; he just told me to run a few extra laps around the military district playground after I return to Linton City. So, Ms. Clark, sometimes Lord can be stubborn and speak harshly. Please, don’t take it to heart.”
Enna wanted to mention how Baron Lawrence had threatened to send Scott Harris to Yluria Country to mine coal in the elevator. However, seeing the admiration and respect in Scott’s eyes when mentioning Baron Lawrence, she swallowed her words.
But thanks to Scott’s intervention, she felt less oppressed than before.
Whatever, she wasn’t planning to spend her life with Baron Lawrence anyway. Why should his stubbornness and persistence bother her? Why strain their relationship? If she angered him, wouldn’t she be the one to suffer in the end?
With these thoughts in mind, Enna felt much better.
This good mood lasted until Scott introduced her to a few foreigners who then taught her some basic scuba diving techniques.
My Lord.” Scott was dutifully standing not far from the beach. Seeing the aloof man approaching, he immediately lowered his head to greet him.
Baron Lawrence’s sharp eyes locked onto the figure in the water, not even glancing at Scott as he asked, “Are they ready yet?”
“Ms. Clark learns fast; she should be ready to dive soon.” Scott hesitated, then added, “But since this is Ms. Clark’s first time, should we arrange for an instructor to accompany her?”
“I’ll be there.” Three words, domineering and absolutely confident!
Scott’s expression turned solemn, and he said seriously, “I’ll get everything ready immediately.”
“Hmm.”
The seawater warmed by the sun felt lovely, not at all cold as it had appeared from the shore.
Following the instructor’s guidance, Enna repeatedly practiced with the scuba gear in the shallow water. This beach was enclosed by the hotel, so very few people came to play. Unlike the sea outside the Night Market, the coastal waters here were free of people, so one could actually see fish and crabs. Enna excitedly chased after fish and even caught a small crab. “Look…”
As she was about to show off her catch to the instructor, she spotted an unsmiling man. The instructors who had been teaching her to dive had long since left the shallow water area. She felt a bit awkward but still called out, “Baron Lawrence, when did you come down?”
At some point, the handsome, cold man had changed into swim trunks. The perfectly exposed upper body was just enough to reveal his amazing mermaid line, which was incredibly sexy! Frowning, Baron Lawrence retorted, “Do I need your permission to come down here? Have you leased this beach or put your name on it?”
That attitude!
Enna had planned to mend her relationship with him and get along peacefully.
But hearing his rude sarcasm, the anger she had suppressed welled up again. She replied coolly, “That’s not what I meant.”
Having lost the mood to play, she released the crab into the sea, saying, “I’ll go back first, Young Master Lawrence. Take your time.”
Shit!
Baron Lawrence wanted to strangle her but couldn’t bring himself to do it. Trying to suppress his anger, he took several deep breaths.. With a stone-cold face, he grabbed the girl’s hand just as she was about to leave the water, dragging her further into the sea!
