Chapter 1487: Chapter 1487: Going Grocery Shopping with Her Chapter 1487: Chapter 1487: Going Grocery Shopping with Her Baron Lawrence’s face tightened, and he said sternly, “You don’t have to thank me. I’ve said it already, this is the last time. There won’t be a next time!”

Nicholas Lawrence returned to his usual demeanor, calmly speaking, “Don’t worry, I will take good care of her until she gets married.”

He suddenly asked, “By the way, I’m going to meet the Oscar family this weekend. Do you want to come along?”

Baron Lawrence’s thin lips pressed into a firm line, his expression cold, “I have plans this weekend, I can’t make it.”

Nicholas Lawrence wasn’t someone who couldn’t read the room. He knew that when he said he had plans, it wasn’t true; he simply didn’t want to go. Not insisting further, he replied stiffly, “Alright, fine.”

As soon as the words were spoken, the atmosphere once again became silent and tense.

Nicholas Lawrence furrowed his brow, not knowing what to say at this moment.

He had said all he wanted to; making small talk was not their style, and staying here awkwardly without purpose held no meaning.

So he took the lead and said to Baron Lawrence, “I’ll be going now. You’re still injured; take good care of yourself.”

“I won’t see you out.”

“No need.”

Nicholas Lawrence left with brisk efficiency.

His departure was as quick as the wind, not even pausing to take a sip of water.

Baron Lawrence sat on the sofa for a while before suddenly standing up and heading towards the bedroom.

He lifted his hand and knocked twice, then turned the doorknob, speaking coldly to the person inside, “Enna Clark, apart from Tomato and Egg Noodles, what else can you make?”

Enna Clark was chatting with Bobby on a voice call. Startled by his question and seeing his clearly irritated demeanor, she knew the conversation with Nicholas hadn’t been pleasant. She pursed her lips, thought for a moment, and said, “I can also make egg fried rice and porridge.”

“I want to eat.”

It wasn’t a request; it was impatient, almost urgent.

Right now, his chest felt like it was being pressed by a heavy stone. Aside from her, he couldn’t think of anything that would make him feel even slightly better.

Enna Clark saw his bad mood and didn’t hesitate to put her phone down, “Whatever you want to eat, I’ll make it for you.”

“There’s a fresh food supermarket outside the resort. I can go buy whatever you want to eat,” she added after thinking for a moment, “or you can have someone buy it and I’ll cook for you.”

For general dishes, she knew how to make them.

After all, it was always the same process: add oil, add meat, stir-fry, add vegetables, add salt, and finish cooking.

As for the taste, she couldn’t guarantee it.

After all, her culinary skills were limited to the time spent practicing with Bobby abroad and the constant cooking she did while in Capital City.

At other times, aside from Tomato and Egg Noodles, she hardly ever needed to cook.

She didn’t like cooking either.

But seeing Baron Lawrence in such a downcast mood, she didn’t know why, but if the food was bad, she felt like she could swallow it down forcefully.

Baron Lawrence was indeed in a bad mood. His piercing eyes locked onto the young woman in front of him, and without a second thought, he said, “I’ll go shopping with you.”

“Um…”

Baron Lawrence had already grabbed her hand and asked briskly, “Where is the fresh food supermarket you mentioned? You lead the way!”

“Wait a second.” She wriggled her hand free, ran back to grab her phone, and then returned quickly, taking the initiative to hold his hand. Her eyes curved into a smile, “Let’s go.”

Her hand was soft and warm, and just like her, the subtle warmth was unassuming but particularly comforting!

Baron Lawrence’s distressed heart suddenly felt as if it were enveloped in warmth, and the tension in his jaw slowly eased…
