Chapter 2378: Chapter 2387: Reconciliation
She spoke earnestly, and the originally impatient man couldn’t help but listen. His tense jawline relaxed a bit, and he pulled her closer, "I know."
He knew she would be upset.
Because he had already experienced that kind of distress just now.
The feeling of his heart almost dying could still be recalled.
"There’s nothing between me and that woman, and I’ll be careful in the future."
In any case, he had already arranged for someone to keep an eye on that woman.
Just for daring to run behind his back to find Enna Clark and spout nonsense to her, then daring to hide it from him afterward and lie saying she hadn’t met Enna—these points alone were enough for him to crush that woman.
But that woman still had her uses...
She had hurt Enna Clark before. Even if it meant letting her take the hit for Enna, it was only right!
He pulled Enna Clark onto the bed forcefully, enclosing her in his arms dominantly, resting his head on top of hers, just like a lion, completely trapping her inside, "Alright, let’s sleep!"
"...Oh."
All the misunderstandings were cleared up, and Enna Clark’s mood improved significantly. Although she felt uncomfortable being hugged so tightly, she let him hold her, pressing against his chest and listening to his strong heartbeat.
She just closed her eyes, half asleep, when she heard his hoarse voice from above her head, "Enna Clark, I want to hear you speak."
She had been highly strung all day, and now relaxed, her head was drowsy, mumbling without opening her eyes, "Speak about what?"
Baron Lawrence turned over, adjusting his position to hold her even tighter, saying, "Anything will do."
He just wanted to hear her voice.
Only then did he feel he truly had her.
Otherwise, once he closed his eyes, the remnants of the suffocating feeling from before would surge back, making it impossible for him to sleep...
Enna Clark reluctantly opened her eyes. The bedroom lighting was dim, coaxing her to sleep. Her eyelids drooped as she spoke in a slow, dragging voice, "A long, long time ago, in a very ancient kingdom, the King and Queen Consort had a beautiful daughter. When the little princess was born, her skin was as white as snow, just like an angel. So the King gave the little princess a name, Snow White. Unfortunately, the Queen Consort passed away not long after Snow White was born. The King married a new Queen Consort, who was very beautiful, but had a strange temper. She also had a magical mirror..."
She was telling the story in the same tone she used for Gigi’s bedtime story.
This Snow White story she had told Bobby many times before, and also for Gigi. She almost had it memorized. Even with her eyes closed, it didn’t affect her storytelling. Enna Clark yawned, closed her eyes, and continued narrating in her slow tone.
Although Baron Lawrence had his reservations about the Snow White story, her gentle voice filled his ears, and with her right in his arms, that sense of unease faded significantly. He closed his eyes and began to brew sleepiness...
Enna Clark herself didn’t know how long she had been speaking. She was completely keeping awake by sheer willpower without falling asleep halfway. Finally, she uttered the last sentence, "And so the Prince and Princess lived happily ever after..."
She then yawned, opened her eyes, and drowsily confirmed with a glance. Once she was sure the person beside her was breathing steadily, she closed her eyes and allowed herself to drift into sleep...
The night was still long.
