Chapter 678: Chapter 678: He Hopes That the Man by Her Side is Someone Who Could Marry into Her Family

She walked around the small garden and gradually made up her mind.

She walked back to her room through the corridor.

As she had thought, Edward Jackson hadn’t left; he was still in the room waiting for her.

“I have something to say.”

Edward Jackson glanced at the others in the room and ordered, “All of you, leave.”

“Yes, Master.”

“Yes, Duke.”

The nurse, doctor, and his housekeeper, Hayes, all left. The large room was now left with just Enna Clark and him.

Edward Jackson waited for everyone to leave before he spoke with a tolerant tone, “Go ahead, what is it?”

“I can go back to the Habsden Family with you, but I have one condition.” This condition was something she had thought about for a long time, and if Edward Jackson did not agree to it, she would not go back to the Habsden Family with him. She would replace another way.

“Condition? What condition?” It was the first time someone had made a condition on him, and Edward Jackson’s gaze narrowed.

Enna Clark looked firmly into his eyes, her attitude resolute as she enunciated each word, “I will only go back with you for one year. After one year, I want absolute freedom.”

“What do you mean by absolute freedom?” This time, Edward Jackson didn’t let her have her way. He took the lead in asking the crucial question, “You have to give me an approximate limit. I don’t know where your limit lies, so I can’t agree to it.”

Enna Clark gave him a limit, “I like Baron Lawrence.”

“…” Edward Jackson’s eyebrows furrowed noticeably, and his sharp mouth tightened.

Enna Clark firmly repeated it again, “I like Baron Lawrence. The freedom I’m asking for is not to interfere with my emotions. Who I like or dislike is my freedom. I don’t want to be unable to like someone just because someone else doesn’t like them.”

“I like him, and I will be with him.”

Edward Jackson squinted his eyes and scrutinized her for a while before he slowly said, “But Old Master Lawrence doesn’t like you.”

“I know. His grandpa is his grandpa, and he is he.” Enna Clark understood this distinction very well.

“It seems you know that Baron Lawrence has not gotten engaged?” He asked the question, but his tone was affirmative. He placed his large hand on the table, fingers tapping against the surface, pondering one beat after another, “I never expected him to go to such lengths. I have to admit that his actions this time have changed my impression of him somewhat. But Enna, he’s still not right for you.”

Before Enna Clark could speak, he interrupted, “I hope that your future husband will be a man who treats you well, protects you, loves you, always puts you first, and tolerates you. I don’t need his background to be extraordinary; just treating you well for a lifetime is enough. But a lifetime is very long, so just in case, I hope your husband can become a part of the Habsden Family. That way, I can help you keep an eye on him, and even if he wants to cause trouble, he won’t be able to!”

It took him a lot of effort to replace his niece. She had gone through so many grievances and hardships throughout her life.

He didn’t want her to replace someone from a similarly affluent family, because there were too many dirty things in big families. If she really found a man from such a family, she would inevitably experience more twists and turns.

As her elder, he simply hoped she could live a peaceful and smooth life. It would be best to replace a man that he could keep an eye on, someone who, even if not particularly talented, could tolerate and treat her well.

But Baron Lawrence’s birth and position clearly made him an unsuitable candidate.
