Chapter 723: Chapter 723: The Identity of This Child
Giselle Lawrence!
Giselle Lawrence!
Baron Lawrence’s heart was suddenly struck as he stared at the little girl in his arms. The little girl was still struggling, twisting her chubby little body nonstop, demonstrating extreme determination for the candy. However, she was unlike other one-year-olds who would cry loudly if they didn’t get their wish.
She wanted to eat candy, but Baron Lawrence held her tightly in his arms without letting go. She didn’t cry or make a fuss, just constantly struggling with her little hands, occasionally wiggling her small buttocks, trying her best on her own.
She must have felt Baron Lawrence’s gaze on her.
Finally, the little girl, who was silently putting in efforts, raised her head and looked at him with her big, round eyes, meeting his gaze.
The little chubby mouth opened, revealing a toothless, sweet smile, this time she pronounced the word clearly, “Uncle!”
Uncle?
Her calling him that turned Baron Lawrence’s face dark!
Giselle Lawrence, this name, and this place – he wasn’t a fool, even guessing with his toes, he could tell the true identity of this little girl.
He remembered having a special feeling towards this little girl when they first met at King’s Palace Lane Square. Although it was their first encounter, she instantly caught his eye.
That pleasing sensation he had only ever experienced with one woman – Enna Clark!
Later, an ugly and annoying woman came out calling her Gigi, so he thought his feelings were mistaken and returned the child. Nôv(el)B\\jnn
It turned out that the ugly woman was not Gigi’s mom, which meant Enna Clark was nearby at that time!
Damn it!
It meant that he should have seen Enna Clark the day before yesterday, but he missed her completely!
“Candy… Uncle… Candy…” The little girl was only one year old and didn’t know what the adults were thinking about. Right now, all she could see was the lollipop the female assistant was holding. Drool started flowing from the corner of her mouth, hanging dangerously at the corner of her mouth, ready to slip down her round chin.
Her little chubby mouth puckered up as she resumed her struggle. After trying twice without success, she turned her head again, blinked her big eyes, and looked at the man who was still staring at her. After some apparent thought, she waved her tender little arm, pointed at the assistant who regretted her loose tongue, and called out milkily to Baron Lawrence, “Candy… Candy… Gigi… Candy…”
Although she knew only a few words and had a limited vocabulary, she cleverly used what was available to her to express her intentions to others.
What she meant was she wanted to eat candy!
“Uncle… Candy… Gigi… Candy…” She wiggled her hips again, making a gesture wanting to get down.
Owing to her twisting and turning movements, the drool at the corner of her mouth finally detached itself and fell, accurately landing on the man’s wrist.
Feeling a cool sensation on his hand, Baron Lawrence snapped back to reality, looked down, and saw the saliva on his wrist and the little girl in his arms demanding candy from him.
He frowned!
Those familiar with him knew that he had mysophobia and rarely shook hands with others. Being covered with saliva on the wrist was absolutely taboo for him.
However, he only frowned for a moment, let go, and did not erupt in anger like he usually did. Instead, he kindly asked the little girl in his arms, “Do you want candy?”
“Candy… Candy… Yes… Gigi… Uncle… Candy.”
Their commotion outside had awakened the person sleeping soundly in the bedroom…
