BXBX NOVEL Chapter 585: 585: How did you get to know Mr. Lawrence?
“Let’s go.”
Bobby was mentally prepared to have dinner with the dubious man, but only ended up waiting for his wife to come out. He pointed his chin towards the direction of the study, and asked casually, “Where’s the dubious man?”
Enna chuckled and took his hand, leading him out as she said, “Your dad is busy. We’ll eat first and then bring some food up for him later… What do you want to eat tonight?”
“The cake from lunch!”
Their voices gradually faded away…

In the restaurant downstairs.
The same waiter who served them at noon guided them to their usual seats. Enna ordered a few nutritious dishes and handed the menu back to him. Bobby ordered a few small desserts, but since Enna didn’t allow him to eat too many sweets, he only ordered one of each.
Soon, the waiter took the menu away and left to prepare their order.
As Enna supported her chin and chatted with Bobby, a voice suddenly intruded from behind them, “Enna, what a coincidence.”
Enna didn’t need to look back to know who it was, as she had heard her voice many times already today.
As expected, Miranda Lewis came over with a broad smile. She had changed into a white dress, and her forehead was covered with a square-shaped bandage, which weakened her dazzling appearance and added a touch of innocence. She scanned the area before she couldn’t help but ask, “Huh, Enna. Is Mr. Lawrence not joining you for dinner?”
“He is busy with something else.” Enna couldn’t ignore her completely since Miranda had helped her in the afternoon. She said it indifferently.
“I see…” Miranda thought for a moment before suggesting naturally, “Enna, since it’s just the two of you, and I’m alone, why don’t we eat together?”
“…” Enna was hesitant.
But since Miranda had made the suggestion, she agreed with a nod.
Miranda immediately pulled out a chair next to Bobby and sat down. Bobby wasn’t happy about her presence, and his dissatisfaction was evident. As soon as she sat down, Bobby jumped off his chair and said coolly, “Lady, I’m not sitting next to you.”
He was indeed unsparing. If she had a thinner skin, she would have left in shame and anger. But Miranda not only stayed, she also complimented him without picking up any hints of dislike in his tone, “Enna, your son with Mr. Lawrence is really handsome and looks very smart. He’s sure to have a promising future like his father. How old is he now?”
As the saying goes, one should not offend someone who is trying to be friendly. In response to Miranda’s praise, Enna couldn’t help but reply, “5 and a half years old.”
Miranda seemingly showed a genuine interest in Bobby, and after complimenting him some more, she asked with curiosity, “So that means you and Baron met five years ago? I thought you were with William Su…”
As if afraid of offending Enna, she swallowed William’s name back.
Enna calmly poured Bobby a glass of water and handed it to him to drink. She said indifferently, “We broke up.”
“Ah, I see,” she seemed very interested and continued, “How did you meet Baron? He treats you so well. Your first encounter must have been very romantic, right?”
