BXBX NOVEL Chapter 652: 652: Is He Really Getting Engaged?
——”Two Powerful Families Unite in Marriage: A Fairy-Tale Wedding Not to Be Missed!”
——”Within 24 Hours: Two Powerful Families Hold a Grand Engagement Banquet!”
…
Enna Clark spots one particular headline among the rest: “Luxury! Soon-To-Be Newlyweds Private Jet to Country W.”
Her finger pauses, her breath held as if stuck, staring at the bolded headline. Biting her lower lip, she clicks on the article.
Although messages couldn’t be sent from the garden-style castle, the internet speed was fast.
As soon as she opened the article, a dozen pictures immediately popped up.
She immediately recognizes the man surrounded by a crowd—Baron Lawrence!
After four days apart, he is still as dazzling as ever, seemingly capable of stealing everyone’s attention just by appearing. Despite being surrounded by so many people, he always stands out; as if everyone present merely serves as his foil, all light aimed squarely at him.
Enna looks through the photos, one by one, and sees his impatient expression at the airport.
She sees him surrounded by the crowd.
She sees him boarding the private jet.
In the end, only his retreating figure remains.
Enna grips her iPad tightly, the corners of her mouth pressing together even more.
The nurse notices her expression, and says with some reluctance, “Miss, it’s quite late. You shouldn’t play with the iPad anymore. Get some sleep.”
“Mm,”Enna nods gently, her eyes still unable to leave the screen.
She scrolls back through the photos, landing on the first and clearest one—a candid shot of Baron Lawrence, his form slightly thinner than before, his stunning profile more pronounced.
He really did leave Country Y…
These pictures couldn’t be fake—the only explanation is that Edward Jackson wasn’t lying, Baron Lawrence truly left Country Y and is headed to Country W to get engaged.
Even though, from the moment she heard the engagement news, her heart had been prepared for this outcome.
Yet, upon seeing these photos, her heart can’t help but ache.
It’s as if someone has grabbed her heart and tightened their grip, causing her immense pain.
She wants nothing more than to recklessly break free and tell him she’s okay—that if it’s because of her, he doesn’t need to go through with the engagement!
But she cannot leave.
Besides, as Edward has said, this is an alliance between two powerful families—not an ordinary engagement that could simply be voided. The burden behind it was something she could never know, something unshakeable!
“Miss…” The nurse, genuinely worried, takes the iPad from her hands. “For the baby’s sake, you should go to sleep.”
Her iPad taken away from her, Enna absent-mindedly climbs into bed, covers herself with the blanket, and closes her eyes.
Seeing her eyes shut, the nurse turns off the light for her.
The room plunges into darkness, only starlight seeping in from outside the window.
Softly and silently, she leaves the room.
Click.
The door shuts.
Enna opens her eyes—the news photos she’s seen earlier inevitably come to mind.
Baron Lawrence has left Country Y…
Tomorrow, he’ll be engaged to another woman.
Enna’s heart constricts once more! She places her left hand on her flat belly, her mind lost in a daze.
She wonders where Bobby is and what he’s doing. Does he know about the news on the internet? If he does, will he confront Baron Lawrence? Has he missed her after not seeing her for three days?
