Chapter 409  : Chapter 409  : This Man Hung the Stars Around Her Neck

Baron Lawrence’s arm immediately supported her, and he stood up steadily, walking up the mountain.

As Enna Clark lay on his back, she realized that his back was even broader and more solid than she had imagined, each step bursting with a man’s power.

Step by step.

The warmth of his skin permeated through the fabric and onto hers. Enna suddenly felt an indescribable heartbeat. It was as if she had a deep sense of not being alone, which was especially reassuring.

They walked like this for half an hour.

Enna saw a layer of fine sweat on his forehead and couldn’t help but say,

“Baron Lawrence, let’s stop and rest for a while before continuing.”

“Didn’t I tell you not to talk to me while climbing the mountain? I can’t stand the sound of you panting!” After finishing, he hoisted the person on his back up a little higher and continued up the mountain.

The setting sun in the west dyed the scenery at the foot of the mountain a brilliant orange color.

Finally, before nightfall, they arrived at the mountaintop.

The peak was not as bare as she had imagined; there was a telescope placed on it. Near the telescope were soft circular sofas, fruits, and drinks. There was even an electric mosquito repellent and eau de toilette prepared thoughtfully.

With these items placed at such a high point, it was obvious that he had arranged everything.

Was Baron Lawrence taking her to see the stars?

Baron Lawrence put her on the sofa and looked up at the faint stars in the sky. His thin lips curved, he checked the time, and waved her over, “Come here.”

“Are we going to watch the stars?” Enna walked over, and he adjusted the telescope to the perfect height for her.

He then pointed to the southeast and suddenly began counting down.

“10.”

“9.”

Enna didn’t understand what he was counting down for but soon found out.

“3.”

“2.”

“1.”

As his voice faded, a star suddenly streaked across the southeastern sky.

Soon, the night sky enveloped the entire heavens.

One by one, stars streaked across the sky, leaving long tails behind them, an incredibly beautiful sight.

Enna had never seen a real meteor shower before and widened her eyes.

Looking at the sky through the telescope, the meteors seemed close at hand. She quickly closed her eyes, clasped her hands together, and made a wish.

“Enna, each person who leaves first is actually a star in the sky. Your aunt must have become a star too, never leaving you.”

“She’s always with you, just like Tobias and me, always by your side.”

Enna suddenly looked back at him

Under the starlight, the man looked as beautiful as Apollo descending to earth. His sculpted features seemed particularly soft at that moment. It was as if… every star in the sky had fallen into his eyes.

He took her to the cemetery and to watch the meteor shower.

In fact, he was telling her through his actions that she had never been alone. When he said he wanted her, it was as though he wanted the sun, moon, and stars to bear witness.

She suddenly believed what Adam Sinclair had said.

If a man like Baron Lawrence was willing, no woman could resist!

He was stubborn, possessive, and had strong desires for control. But he also had the hottest emotions. Once loved by such a man, once in love with such a man, it would be impossible for one to like someone else.

Because he had plucked down all the stars in the sky—

“Baron Lawrence, I….” Her heart was beating fast, but her throat suddenly felt dry…
