Lingering Doting Marriage: Big Boss, Little Sweet Heart

Chapter 1032: Chapter 1032: Baron Lawrence is Back Chapter 1032: Chapter 1032: Baron Lawrence is Back Enna Clark had no idea about the interlude playing out just outside the door; she had buried herself in her work, pouring all her attention into the origami cranes.

Finally…

“Done!”

With the last crane folded, Enna Clark stretched lazily.

Her back was sore and swollen from sitting too long, and when she lifted her head, her muscles ached dully and pulsed with pain! It took a few seconds for her to adjust to the soreness in her waist, and only then did she notice that it had already grown dark outside.

Oh no!

She picked up her phone, and sure enough, it was already past eight o’clock.

She quickly packed away the paper cranes and other items and hastened towards the kitchen.

Before Baron Lawrence returned, she wanted to prepare a big meal as a surprise for his birthday celebration.

Most importantly, she was determined to bake a birthday cake for him with her own hands!

Do or die!

Despite having spent the whole day making paper cranes and stars, and despite her severe aches that made her wish to move no more, she still insisted on baking a cake with the help of the pastry chef.

After arranging a place for the cake, she checked the time.

Eleven o’clock on the dot.

Just making a cake had taken her a full four hours.

She sped up her hands-on work, making Longevity Noodles, Kelp Soup, and dish after homely dish.

When she was finishing the last dish, a person assigned to watch the door burst in, panting unevenly, “Miss Clark, Lord Baron has returned!”

Enna Clark hurriedly served the freshly made steaming Kelp Soup, directing someone to take it where she had specified.

Wiping sweat from her forehead and washing her hands, she quickly asked, “Where is he now?”

“Lord Baron just arrived, and he’s on his way to his room.”

To his room?

A thump of anxiety hit Enna Clark’s heart!

She couldn’t let Baron Lawrence go back to his room now!

There was still an important task she had not completed!

“Please take care of the rest and bring it to the room. I have to step out for a moment,” she said, dropping what she held and rushing towards the study.

After retrieving the previously completed paper cranes from the study, she heaved a sigh of relief and raced downstairs.

The Lawrence Family’s mansion was enormous, encompassing half a mountain; so aside from the usual artificial mountains, fountains, lawns, and flowerbeds that one would expect, there was also an extravagantly luxurious, inhumanly opulent, natural stream passing through the garden.

The stream was only half a meter wide, babbling as it flowed.

Enna Clark squatted by the stream and began releasing her folded paper cranes, one by one, into the water.

On the wings of each crane, she placed two stars. The paper used for the stars had a glowing feature, therefore each twinkled with a luminescent green light, very much resembling glowworms…

As Enna Clark placed them one by one, she prayed with clear, bright eyes.

“I hope he regains his health soon.”

“I hope the new year brings him peace and success.”

…

Upstairs.

Baron Lawrence was ascending the spiral staircase when the modest row of stars in the night suddenly caught his eye.

He abruptly stopped and looked closer, “What’s that?”

The bodyguards following him also halted and looked in the direction he indicated. Upon seeing the ‘river of stars’ twinkling and flowing in the garden, they stood dumbfounded, “This… Sorry, Lord Baron, we don’t know. We will immediately go down and check.”

Before they could descend, the man observing from the stairwell was suddenly transfixed by a figure. Without waiting for them, his expression changed and he growled in frustration, “Damn it!”

He turned and rushed downstairs.

“Lord Baron?!” Confused, the bodyguards quickly followed suit…
