He multiplied his stock investments tenfold. After repaying his “slug” 10,500 and another 4,500 for its interest, he now had 135,000. From this money, he reinvested 120,000 into stocks and kept 15,000 in his personal ledger.
Unaware of Tobias’s secret windfall, Enna Clark took his words at face value and assumed this was merely his New Year savings and decided not to probe any further.
After all, who could have imagined that the audacious five-year-old, with precise foresight, would dare to borrow money to invest in stocks, and even make profits from it!
One had to admit, genetics were truly a frightening thing.
Scott Harris was quick in his actions. They didn’t wait long before he arrived with his car.
He helped them load the car with a myriad of bags and parcels, and instead of heading back to the hospital, he directly drove them to Baron Lawrence’s luxury house in Linton City.
After swiping his card, the Bentley drove them into Bauhinia Garden.
It had been a long time since Enna Clark returned here. She was flooded with an array of different feelings, unlike any she had experienced before on her previous visits.
Previously whenever she returned to Bauhinia Garden, her heart felt heavily oppressed, only through sheer force of will was she able to coexist peacefully with Baron Lawrence.
Now, unlocking the door after such a long time and laying her eyes on the familiar interior furniture and decor, she was filled with a nostalgic familiarity.
It felt comforting, it felt joyful.
There was no trace of the initial 0DDression.
It was the same place, yet her feelings towards the same person had changed, which in turn, changed her own feelings.
It was Mr. Clark’s first time here, he looked around curiously as Scott Harris guided him around the house. Enna Clark, on the other hand, headed straight to the kitchen. Setting down the groceries she bought, she washed her hands and called out to the others, “Baby, why don’t you watch some TV with Uncle Harris? Mummy will be busy for a bit, alright?”
“Alright.”
Tobias’s clear baby voice resounded.
Enna Clark’s lips curled upwards as she began to prepare the meal while humming a tune.
Baron Lawrence preferred Western foods. She used to cook simple home meals but decided to try her hand at preparing a Western meal this time.
A steak with a side of vegetable salad and a bowl of borscht.
As it was her first time cooking Western food, she feared misjudging the recipe. She painstakingly searched up the authentic way of preparing steak on her phone, studied it carefully, and finally began cooking.
First of all, she had to tenderise the beef by hitting it with the blunt side of a knife.
Concentrating on each step written in the recipe, Enna Clark diligently tapped her knife across the steak, careful to apply just the right amount of force.
According to the recipe, using too much force could turn the beef over-tender and mushy, while too little would yield no effect and leave the tendons in the steak tough. The overly tough steak would then be difficult to cut.
After tenderising the steak, she sprinkled some salt, pepper powder, and oil on it and set it aside to marinate.
While the steak was marinating, she began working on the other dishes.
Once the preliminary work for all the dishes was finished, she washed her hands and went out to watch some TV with Mr. Clark.
She ordered a big cake after lunch from a bakery.
And then she started bustling around with the decorations.
The birthday celebration demanded candles, balloons, and flowers adorning the dining table…
A number of trivial tasks seemed time-consuming when carried out.
By the time she finished everything, it was already close to eight o’clock.
Tobias Clark spent the whole afternoon helping and was feeling quite hungry. Gazing at the clock, Enna Clark said, “Baby, how about I prepare your portion first?”
“No, I want to eat with you and everyone else.”
Enna Clark gently coaxed him, “Eat a little something first to fill your stomach, Darling. Once Uncle is back, Mummy will make you a vegetable salad.. You’ll still be eating with all of us, right?”
