BXBX NOVEL Chapter 542: 542: When did he come back?
Baron Lawrence’s face darkened at the entrance hall. He should be very angry, but somehow, having his words so casually tossed around by Bobby made his mood much lighter.
The two in the living room didn’t notice his return, still glaring at each other.
Enna lost to Tobias’s righteous stare first, and diverted from the topic of whether Baron Lawrence was a shameless and irresponsible man, “What about after? You found out your dad isn’t, but you’re still playing with Rose. It seems that your relationship is pretty good, and it hasn’t been affected at all.”
That’s because…” Tobias hesitated.
She raised her eyebrows, seeming to smile, “Because of what? Because you really enjoy playing with Rose too?”
“No!” He didn’t like to play with strange-strength slug Rose Howell, who was so childish, stupid, and annoying. As a girl, she had not even a trace of self-restraint. Ever since she sneaked into the men’s restroom to peek at him using the toilet, she had been spreading the news about his little jj, even running to Capital City Kindergarten’s Ms. Lulu to tell on him. If not for Ms. Lulu deceiving her by saying that growing up with a little jj will turn a person into a hero and must be kept secret, she might have pulled down his pants in front of everyone at the kindergarten to show everyone his magical little jj that she doesn’t have.
But since then, he was unable to shake off Rose Howell, who was like a shadow. She was so stupid that she believed whatever anyone said and always looked at him with adoring eyes. Whenever she looked at him that way, he knew what was going through her head – she must be thinking about how she’d turn into a hero when she grew up!
“Really? I think you actually do enjoy playing with Rose. When you were in Capital City Kindergarten, you were with Rose every day.” Enna didn’t believe him.
Tobias, feeling cornered, cried out, “That’s because she was always following me. I couldn’t shake her off!”
“Oh, so you can’t even shake off a little girl.” Enna was just deliberately teasing him. She knew how smart her son was and with his cunning little mind, he could easily get rid of Rose if he wanted to. Clearly, he didn’t want to but wouldn’t admit it.
Tobias’s pale little face turned red with anger and embarrassment, snorting, “Woman, if you want me to do something, just say it. Why do you have to keep harping on the slug Rose Howell?”
Enna put a grape into his grumbling mouth, spreading her hands in innocence, “I told you directly, but you didn’t listen. I had to give an example. How would I know that you cared so much about Rose? Just mentioning her makes you so agitated. Fine, I’ll be more careful and won’t mention her anymore.”
Tobias’s reddened face struggled to find a retort as he snorted and bit into the grape in his mouth. He turned around and stomped back, “A good man doesn’t argue with a woman! I won’t fight with you!”
He was a man now, and he had to tolerate the women in his life, especially his own family members.
Yes, it was this reason, and not that he was at a loss for words!
Enna watched him stomp away like a sulky little rooster, heading for the fridge to get milk, then suddenly noticed the additional person in the entrance hall. Startled, she exclaimed, “Baron, Baron Lawrence?”
When did he get back?
How long had he been standing there?
Why didn’t he say anything?
