Lingering Doting Marriage: Big Boss, Little Sweet Heart

Chapter 1173: Chapter 1173: How Long Do You Plan to Stay Here? Chapter 1173: Chapter 1173: How Long Do You Plan to Stay Here? Baron Lawrence stared at the pretentious woman in front of him with irritation, having absolutely no idea what she was after!

Was her shamelessness made of shoehorns?

Couldn’t she see he didn’t want anything to do with her at all?

He never showed a kind face to women who couldn’t take a hint and insisted on approaching him. With his hands in his pockets, he looked down on her and with a touch of his thin lips, he said mercilessly, “I believe I’ve already mentioned that I don’t have a sister.”

Slap—

It was as if Scarlett’s face had been slapped, burning with humiliation. Especially in the presence of so many servants, it felt like she had been publicly slapped.

If it had been any other man who had treated her like this once or twice, she would have lost her temper long ago, and she wouldn’t give that man the time of day no matter how much he groveled afterward.

But this man was Baron Lawrence. Despite her wounded pride, she bit her lower lip and forced a smile, giving herself a way out, “Alright, if I can’t call you Brother Baron, then what should I call you?”

Baron Lawrence was extremely impatient, “Whatever you want!”

She wasn’t anyone important, so what did it matter to him what she called him?

Having said that, he lifted his leg to leave.

Scarlett had finally gotten a chance to be alone with him, how could she allow him to leave after only a few words.

She subtly blocked the proud man, speaking in a soft voice, “Brother Baron, you are going to the ICO Investment Summit tomorrow, aren’t you?”

“I’m going to attend as well. Let’s go together tomorrow.”

Baron Lawrence finally gave her a look.

Scarlett felt the man’s gaze on her face and her heartbeat involuntarily quickened, thumping away. She wished she could check her reflection to ensure her poise was beautiful and her appearance alluring. Her fair cheeks flushed with a thin blush, her bright eyes and white teeth lent her an extremely attractive appearance.

Indeed, Baron Lawrence was looking at her, but his gaze was completely different from what Scarlett was imagining. He was merely wondering if she was blind, failing to see his intense impatience and the incessant nagging she was subjecting him to! His hawkish eyes fell on Scarlett’s and narrowed—

The servants following him quietly observed the interaction between the two, secretly sweating for Enna Clark.

With her prestigious background, good looks, and aggressive approach, any normal man would find it hard to resist such temptations. Now that Ms. Clark was not at home, Scarlett had come chasing after him so quickly; they wondered if Lord could withstand it. If Lord couldn’t, then Ms. Clark would be the one to suffer.

At first, they believed that Lord could resist, but now as he kept staring into Scarlett’s eyes, they were no longer sure…

Under normal circumstances, if a man stares into a woman’s eyes, it means he’s feeling something for that woman.

Scarlett believed the same, her heartbeat pounding so hard that her heart seemed about to burst from her chest. She summoned her courage, gazing at the handsome face of the man, his pale forehead, sharp eyes, high nose bridge, and those lips that seemed to beckon for a kiss…

Scarlett’s heartbeat accelerated even more, her face growing redder.

Just when her heart was thundering, the man who had been staring at her suddenly spoke up, “Since you can trot around now, it seems your knee is better. How much longer do you plan to stay here?”

How much longer do you plan to stay here!

To stay here!

Slap!

It was as if Scarlett had been viciously slapped across the face, her blushing cheeks instantly turning a deep red!
