Chapter 319: 319: The Man Who Took Her to Overlook from a High Altitude
Baron Lawrence lit the central burner. As the hot air balloon began to rise, he picked up Enna and jumped in. Then, he turned on the hot air balloon’s fan, causing the balloon to soar into the sky from the foot of the mountain –
At sunset, the entire scenic view of Linton City unfolded before their eyes.
As they floated along with the wind and the effect of the hot air balloon’s fan, they soared above rows of tall buildings. Enna had never flown this high or seen such a uniquely beautiful view. She leaned against the edge of the hot air balloon, unable to describe the vastness of her feelings at the moment.
“Do you like it?”
Without turning her head, Enna nodded vigorously, “Yes, I like it.”
The wind blew through her long hair. Observing the girl, who finally seemed genuinely happy, Baron Lawrence couldn’t help but smile slightly.
Having enough of looking at the scenery below, Enna seemed to remember something and turned to ask him, “Baron Lawrence, how do you know how to operate a hot air balloon? And is that cabin on the mountain yours?”
What was this woman getting at?
Baron Lawrence was a bit annoyed, “What’s so strange about me knowing how to operate a hot air balloon? I can even assemble an AKB sniper rifle!”
“…” Oh, right, she forgot that he was Baron Lawrence!
Enna ignored her own silly question just now, “So that cabin on the mountain, it’s yours?”
“It isn’t mine, but how could I open it?” While complaining aloud, Baron Lawrence felt a sense of pride deep down. Why was Enna so adorable even when she was being silly? It must be because he chose her!
“I mean, how did you end up with a cabin on the mountain?” Enna, feeling double-disliked, changed her phrasing.
Baron Lawrence glanced at her, took a bite on her lips, and looked ahead at the scenery. He said casually, “When I was a teenager, I was bored, so I had someone build it.”
What kind of boredom could drive a teenage boy to have someone build a cabin on the mountaintop, complete with a hot air balloon inside?
Enna was no fool. She put together her previous conversation with Baron Lawrence about climbing the mountain, and she already had a rough answer in her mind.
It probably wasn’t boredom, but feeling troubled. So he often came to the mountain to vent his frustrations. He also learned how to operate a hot air balloon when he was a teenager.
Enna inexplicably felt some heartache, thinking about the kind of distress a teenage boy must have gone through to desperately exhaust his physical strength and then float alone in a hot air balloon high above the city?
She always thought that Baron Lawrence at that time was even lonelier and unhappier than she could have imagined!
She pursed her lips and suddenly reached out, quietly grabbing the man’s hand, and casually said, “From now on, you won’t be bored, because you’ll have me and Bobby.”
Baron Lawrence looked at her sharply, his gaze deep as if trying to draw her in!
Uncomfortable under his gaze, Enna awkwardly added, “I mean, if you have extra time, you can spend more time with Bobby. He really likes you but is too embarrassed to get close to you because of what happened last time….”
