Chapter 737: Chapter 737: Baron Lawrence Gets Angry

“Open the door!” The simple command emanated an incredible sense of power and authority that could not be resisted.

“Yes, yes, Lord Baron.”

The driver quickly unlocked the car door, flustered.

The door to the backseat was immediately yanked open by a tall, proud man striding through the biting cold wind. As he bent down to enter the car, his deep, unfathomable eyes glared at the driver, “Leave.”

“Yes.” Although the driver was worried for Bobby, he obeyed, even thoughtfully closing the car door behind him.

Tobias wasn’t scared. The fact that Baron Lawrence had hidden Enna’s return from him only made him a little angrier, bolder even.

Before Baron Lawrence could speak, Tobias interrupted him, “It was you who kept Enna’s return hidden from me in the first place, making me think you were out keeping a mistress. So you are the one at fault!”

The cold man expressionlessly raised his hand and pressed the interior lock button. With a soft click, the doors and windows were locked again.

Tobias was quite perceptive.

Seeing this, his heart accelerated with a sudden jolt of unease, his buttocks instinctively shifting sideways in self-defense.

“You even had Uncle Harris lie to me and say you were busy with work…”

Baron Lawrence’s dark eyes burned with fire. Without giving Tobias a chance to say more, he simply picked him up, laid him across his lap, lifted his clothes, and, with a wave of his hand, forcefully slapped him several times.

Tobias had been ready for a fight, but never expected this. Baron Lawrence had no intention of arguing — he’d just beaten him instead.

The burning pain in his buttocks was unbearable.

More importantly, he felt as if his masculine pride had been seriously trampled upon.

His small, phoenix-like eyes widened in disbelief, then flickered with hurt. Finally, they hardened with stubbornness.

“Smack, smack, smack!” Baron Lawrence suppressed his anger, striking his buttocks again with several slaps. Then, in a hushed but tense voice, he demanded, “Admit your mistake, will you?”

He hadn’t told Bobby about Enna’s return right away because he hadn’t been sure whether the woman had lost her memory at that moment.

Bobby might’ve misunderstood, but no matter what the reason, it could never justify sneaking off on his own!

“I didn’t do anything wrong! It was you who lied first! It was you who made the mistake!” In reality, Tobias was as stubborn and bad-tempered as Baron Lawrence, despite his usual cunning and high emotional intelligence.

Had Baron Lawrence tried to reason with him gently, Tobias might’ve relented. However, with such force, he’d only resist harder!

“Not wrong, you say?” Baron Lawrence’s anger peaked, and he smacked him several more times, showing no mercy. “Admit your mistake, will you?” he asked again, pushing even harder.

Tobias’ buttocks were close to being beaten raw, but at only six years old, he clenched his teeth and obstinately refused to concede. “I did nothing wrong, there’s no mistake.”

“Very well!” Baron Lawrence’s handsome face darkened, and he raised his hand once more, almost slapping Tobias’ buttocks again.

Though Toby was stubborn, he was still only six. His face blanched as his reflexes betrayed his fear of pain. Baron Lawrence noticed this fleeting moment of vulnerability.

His raised hand paused mid-air and he let it fall. His thin lips tightened into a straight line as he coldly said, “We’ll continue this when we get back.”

Tobias had already braced himself for another strike, but it never came. His small, stubborn face tensed even further in defiance, unyielding even now.

Baron Lawrence’s temples throbbed twice, and his mood was extremely irritable.

SHI-T!

If it had been anyone other than Tobias today, he would’ve made sure they learned their lesson. But it just HAD to be Tobias, and he was so young!

He struggled to contain his fury and opened the car door, taking a deep breath. With great effort, he repressed his explosive anger before addressing the uneasy driver in a displeased, deep voice, “Drive!”
