BXBX NOVEL Chapter 142 - 142: That Shameless Man, Ate and Won I t Take Responsibility
“Thank you, Uncle Wyndham.” Tobias Clark reacted quickly, behaving politely and looking like an entirely different person from the one who had been fierce to Rose Howell just a moment ago.
Enna Clark couldn’t help but smile, and she gently patted his head, politely declining the invitation, “I’d like to take a walk with Tobias.”
“I see,” Wyndham Howell said with a hint of regret but still maintaining a gentlemanly manner, “I had a great time today, and I’d like to invite you to dinner if you’re free sometime. Please do consider it.”
Who could predict the future? Enna wasn’t naiVe enough to corner someone into an uncertain situation just for the sake of it. She nodded, taking it as a tacit agreement. After exchanging a few more pleasantries with Wyndham, she held her little Bobby’s hand and said goodbye to the two of them.
As they walked out of the Amusement Park, Tobias couldn’t help but feel upset and let go of her hand, questioning her with annoyance, “Dummy, you had every advantage! Why did you refuse their invitation?”
Enna laughed, irritated by his temerity. She had yet to settle accounts with him, but he was the one already getting angry. Crossing her arms, she countered, ‘Why should I accept someone else’s invitation?”
“Of course, it’s to get him to marry you! Wyndham Howell has good qualities, a good temper, a simple family background, and some interest in you. Why wouldn’t you hold onto a man like him? Are you still thinking about my dad?” Tobias furrowed his brows, a flash of desire appearing in his black eyes before quickly disappearing, mumbling discontentedly, “Stop thinking about that man. He’s shameless and irresponsible.”
Shameless… Irresponsible…
Enna imagined Baron Lawrence’s reaction if he heard his own son evaluate him like this, feeling a chill down her spine.
Fortunately, Baron Lawrence was unaware of Bobby’s existence. If that man found out she used a widow-style upbringing to educate his biological son, he would certainly be furious enough to strangle her.
However, this child was born after ten months of her hard work, and she didn’t want to share him with anyone.
Nevertheless, she realized that she needed to correct some of Bobby’s misconceptions, especially after today’s events. A serious adjustment was in order.
Taking action, Enna squatted down in front of him, cupping his sulky face, and asked seriously, “Tobias, why are you so determined to tie Mr. Howell and me together? Just because he’s well-suited and capable?”
“What else? You’re getting older, and you have me to look after. Who else could you find who’s better?”
Tobias was filled with reluctance. In his heart, he didn’t really think about having a stranger barge into their lives, but since everyone else had a dad and a husband, his mom couldn’t be without a husband, right?
“If… if you really like the man who sent you home last night, you can choose him too. But first, you have to introduce him to me. Only after my approval can you be together. If I don’t like him, then you can’t be with him!”
He continued nagging, “I don’t want to break up couples. You’re the kind of woman with a small chest and not a smart brain, which makes it easy for men to trick you. Our family is already so poor, and if he finds out you don’t have money, he might kill you and dispose of your body.”
Murder and dispose of the body… Enna was shocked by his twisted worldview..
She couldn’t help but ask, “Bobby, where did you learn all of this?”
