Chapter 1996: Chapter 2006: Learning That Enna Clark and Lyle Westbrook Were Betrothed as Children

"Gigi, Brubby is the best, I like Brubby the most! Gigi must be obedient and behave well."

Old Madam Habsden looked at her little granddaughter, who was being coaxed with a few sweets to the point of losing direction. Feeling a bit frustrated, she negotiated with her, "Gigi, why not go play over there with Aunt for a while, okay?"

Gigi blinked her big eyes, glanced at her, then at her dad, and obediently nodded, "Okay."

Old Madam Habsden gave a look to the maid beside her, who promptly and sensibly picked up Giselle Lawrence and took her to play elsewhere.

After Gigi walked away,

she finally withdrew the loving smile from her face, looked at Baron Lawrence with a serious expression, and said, "Sit."

Baron Lawrence sat down and handed her a gift he had prepared in advance, "I should have visited you earlier, but I never found a suitable time. I apologize. Old Madam, this is a small token from me, please accept it."

Old Madam Habsden took a sip of tea, gestured for someone to accept the gift, and started appraising him.

When she was with family, she was an old lady who didn’t like vegetables, sometimes childlike in her behavior.

But in formal occasions, when she wasn’t smiling, she embodied the aura one would expect of the Old Madam of the Habsden family.

The area around her eyes was already filled with wrinkles, etched by time, depositing a sharpness that young people lacked.

She didn’t say a word, examining Baron Lawrence thoroughly from head to toe; her gaze intense, as if penetrating his soul, before finally speaking, "The thing I regret most in my life is Enna’s mom. Now that I have finally found her, I am eager to give her the best of everything. But given my age, and my weak heart, I can’t even assure myself how long I can protect her. I’ve heard from Enna about your situation. Actually, before you, I arranged an engagement for Enna. You know him, it’s Lyle Westbrook. I really like him, coupled with my relationship with his sister, I feel handing Enna over to him would give me more peace of mind than handing her to you..."

Enna Clark and Lyle Westbrook were engaged as children?!

He never knew about this!

Baron Lawrence’s face turned ashen instantly, and if not for his utmost self-control, he nearly lost control and stood up.

Had it not been for him, Enna Clark and Lyle Westbrook might have ended up together after being found by Edward Jackson.

And coincidentally, the one Lyle Westbrook has always liked is Enna Clark!

Does Lyle Westbrook know about their childhood engagement?

He silently clenched his fist, veins bulging on the back of his hand.

So what if Enna Clark and Lyle Westbrook were engaged as children?

Enna Clark now likes him, and he’s the one she will marry; he absolutely will not let that woman go—nothing will change that!

His expression was volatile, sitting there composed only through sheer willpower.

He didn’t want to listen any further; the anxiety that kept him sleepless last night seemed to manifest into reality at this moment.

Old Madam Habsden indeed intended to separate him and Enna Clark.

Baron Lawrence’s eyes flickered with gloom.

He was considering whether to straightforwardly tell her that no matter what she says, he will not let go.

Or, considering her heart condition and the fact that she is Enna Clark’s grandma, he might gently express that he will not let go.
