These words are not taken in by Baron at all. He only knows that he has spent so much time on Florence, and her refusal can’t stop him. Therefore, Baron suddenly loses patience. His face changes at once, and he looks at Li coldly, “Why?” “What?” When Li looks up and sees his face, she is shocked. How can Baron, who has always been gentle and elegant, shows a bad face? “Don’t you hate Brian, either? He is so unkind to you and your child. You used to ask me to take you away, remember? ” Baron asks aggressively. Li pinches her fingers subconsciously. She can still remember the situation when Baron helped her. If he didn’t show up, she couldn’t still stand here alive now.
“Brother Baron, I know you have helped me a lot, but feelings can’t be forced. I’m a woman with a child, and it is unfair to you.” Her words are euphemistic, but still unshaken. Baron realizes that what he did just now is too obvious, so he subdues his emotions. His face looks normal, and a warm smile appears on his lips. “Florence, I really love you. There is no injustice. As long as you agree to marry me, I will treat little Nelson as my own son. He is also very fond of me.” In fact, Florence Li knows her current situation clearly. It’s OK that she changes her mind and refuses to marry Brian, but now she has a terrible idea.
Although Li doesn’t want to face up to it, she has to admit that marrying Brian has been her wish for ten years. In the past she loved Brian as a maiden and now she still loves him a grown woman. Even when she was away from home, she loved him in the same way. Loving is as strong as hating. After the vicissitudes of life, they had the child, and at this moment, Li just does not want to admit that she still loves Brian. The careful love of more than ten years can’t disappear immediately. She always wants to be Brian’s wife, just once more… Even if it’s an isolated wedding.”Florence.” Baron raises his hand and shakes it in front of her eyes when he finds Li is distracted. “What are you thinking about?” “I’m sorry.” Says Li.
She has made her attitude clear and there is no room to bargain. Baron’s face turns cold again. He has little time now. Besides, Li has outlived her usefulness to him, and his previous disguises become unnecessary. His patience has run out. Baron walks to her and pretends to talk to Florence, but his hand falls hard on her neck. Li suddenly loses consciousness and falls into his arms. Baron’s fingers fondle her delicate face, “Florence Li, it is what you forced me to do. I have no time to waste any more. Let’s go to get the marriage license now. I’ll see what else you can do when everything has been done!”
Just as his words are finished, Baron hears the voice of the servant outside. He doesn’t expect that Brian comes back so early, therefore, he complains about it quietly. He is in a panic, because Li is still held unconsciously in his arms. At the moment, the steps outside are approaching. The door is pushed open then. There is no place for Baron to hide himself. He has to put Florence on the chair and turns to face Brian. Brian stares them coldly, raises his eyebrows and opens his mouth slightly, “I heard that you came here from time to time to talk with Li. How stupid she is! She thinks you are helping her.” His tone is full of sarcasm. After he says this, he walks to the chair and sits down. The invisible oppression makes Baron’s palms sweat.
Baron has to keep a stiff smile, “Brother Brian, you don’t love her at all. If I take her away today, your wish will be met.” Brian plays with the cup in his hand. His eyes light up slightly to Baron. The chill in Brian’s eyes makes his heart shake. “My things, even if I don’t want them, others are not allowed to touch them. Baron, I know what your purpose is. Although Li is stupid, you can’t do anything to her.” His words show the possessiveness obviously. Baron doesn’t realize that Brian takes Li so seriously. He feels kind of upset, and he could have succeeded today!
Brian’s hand suddenly loosens, and the delicate sanding pot falls to the ground. The harsh voice makes him frown. “How dare you keep staying here? Baron, if I find you target her again, you will end up like this cup, understand?” Baron leaves awkwardly. Hearing this, the servant comes to clean up the debris on the floor. Seeing Florence who is in a coma on the chair, she becomes hesitant, “Sir, Miss Li…” “Leave her alone.” Brian’s voice is cold. How stupid she is! If he didn’t appear today, what would Baron do to her? It’s predictable. Florence Li treats him like an enemy, but regards the real scorpion as a benefactor.
It is really irritating for him to think of this. He suddenly stops when he gets to the door, and then turns back to pick up Li horizontally to the room. Her face is very placid, but two curved eyebrows are slightly wrinkled. Brian was going to leave originally, but he sits in front of her bed at last, as if possessed. His slender fingers caress her eyebrows and smooth them gradually. The movements are infrequently gentle and soft. Thinking of her desperate eyes that day, he feels his heart unexpectedly hurts. What happened to them? How could their relationship become like this step by step? He thinks for a while, but it doesn’t work. Suddenly, he takes out the mobile phone to call Rodney.
“Rodney, prepare a more exquisite wedding. All the invitation cards can be sent out and the wedding can be exposed to the media. I need a grand and sumptuous wedding, and you can decide the rest things.” Rodney at the other side of the phone is also shocked. Brian changes his order completely. He used to ask him to prepare for the wedding as soon as possible, and it shouldn’t be luxurious and could be a rough one. But what happened on earth now? “OK.” Without waiting for his hesitation, Brian takes the phone, goes to the French window and continues, “There’s another thing for you to search. How dare Baron want to come here and take Li away? Call me half an hour later.” He stares at Florence Li strangely. “Yes, sir.” After hanging up the phone, Brian opens the curtains to let the sunlight shine in completely. He puts his hands in his pockets coolly and squints at the distance in a daze. What is he doing now?He thinks.
