Chapter 933: Chapter 933: Conceding Over Ten Billion in Benefits
Her poised attitude made Baron Lawrenceâs unfriendly aura soften slightly.
But just slightly, that bit of change was almost negligible compared to the hostility he displayed.
âI just got here myself, didnât have to wait long.â Unlike the other evening when he deliberately showed closeness, Lyle Westbrookâs peach blossom eyes focused intently on her as he said warmly, âIâll just say goodbye to Gigi and then I will leave.â
A sense of guilt surged in Enna Clarkâs eyes, and she was about to speak.
Lyle Westbrook had already smiled and added, âItâs a pity I have some urgent matters to attend to, otherwise I could have asked you out for a meal. It seems that will have to wait for another day.â
Enna Clark immediately said, âNext time Iâll treat you to a meal.â
Lyle Westbrook had helped her out so significantly, even saved Gigi. It wasnât just about treating him to a meal; even buying a hotel and gifting it to him would have been appropriate.
However, she could tell that with Lyle Westbrookâs current status, he didnât need her to buy a hotel as a way to express gratitude. If she really thanked him that way, it would instead come off as disrespectful.
Yet, owing him such a huge favor, Enna Clark always had an indescribable feeling about it.
Forget it, she would just have to find another better, more comfortable way to express her gratitude after she went back.
Like, perhaps, a business collaboration.
Lyle Westbrook looked at her deeply and said, âAlright, Iâll wait for you to treat me to a meal.â
Iâll wait for you to treat me to a meal, he said it as if he were saying Iâm waiting for you! Baron Lawrence felt uncomfortable inside, his brow twitched, and a hint of viciousness flashed through his eagle eyes.
But he restrained himself.
No matter how you put it, Lyle Westbrook had helped out this time; that was an undeniable fact. He endured it!
Fortunately, Lyle Westbrook didnât have any other excessive behavior. After speaking, he went up to Gigi, picked her up in his arms.
âUncleâŠâ Gigi seemed to really like his embrace, she didnât fuss when suddenly scooped up, and upon seeing it was him, she beamed with a smile.
âGigi, you must take your medicine and be obedient, alright?â Lyle Westbrookâs features softened at the sight of her, the golden sunshine coating his profile with a metallic sheen, like an angel!
Gigiâs head bobbed like a pecking chicken, and she mimicked in a milky voice, âGood! Good!â She didnât quite understand the rest, but seemed to know what âgoodâ meant, her big eyes adorably endearing.
Lyle Westbrookâs features softened even more, appearing somewhat tender from a side view. Holding the little girl in his arms, he took big strides toward the stern man and handed the little girl over to him.
Baron Lawrenceâs eagle eyes abruptly narrowed, staring into his eyes. He reached out, taking the girl who had lost some weight into his arms.
The little one shifted from one embrace to another and only then did she see it was Baron Lawrence. Her big eyes blinked, and she called out with her milky voice, âDadâŠâ
This word, she articulated clearly.
It was the clearest word she pronounced.
Baron Lawrenceâs whole body relaxed, even when facing Lyle Westbrook, the sharp angle of his jaw softened slightly, as he firmly held onto the little girlâs bottom, holding her securely. When he looked at Lyle Westbrook again, he spoke firmly, âThe Lawrence Familyâs military project in Yluria Country, I will have them stand down.â
What seemed like a simple, casual statement was, in fact, a concession of hundred million in interests!
Even Lyle Westbrook had not expected him to suddenly make such a declaration.
After all, hundred million was not just millions; Baron Lawrenceâs promise inevitably required him to bear the same pressure and risks.
