Chapter 1031: Chapter 1031: Does the Old Lord Like Thousand Paper Cranes?
Enna Clark had no idea what had happened in Yluria Country.
She was toiling away for Baron Lawrence’s birthday present.
Outside the study, the Housekeeper occasionally glanced at the hale old man standing there, hesitating to speak.
While the person inside was busy as a beehive, those outside merely stood there quietly watching, neither interrupting nor showing any intention of leaving.
After who knows how long of standing by his side, the old man, as straight as a pine tree by the door, finally withdrew his gaze. Leaning on his cane, he spoke in a faded voice, “Let’s go.”
He walked ahead while the Housekeeper silently followed behind, observing quietly.

Not until they were outside the study did the Housekeeper tentatively speak, “Old Lord, do you like the thousand paper cranes? Shall I ask Ms. Clark to make some for you?”
Yesterday, the Old Lord had been furious, ready to send Ms. Clark away; however, after going to find her in the study, he had suddenly changed his mind, not mentioning anything about sending her off.
Today the Old Lord had come to the study again to find Ms. Clark, and the Housekeeper thought that the Old Lord had changed his mind and decided to send her away after all. Unexpectedly, the Old Lord simply stood outside without entering the study, just watching for over an hour, and then walked away without even greeting Ms. Clark.
During that hour, he had carefully observed that the Old Lord’s gaze was fixed on Ms. Clark’s hands, as if he was watching her fold the thousand paper cranes.
That was why he had this bold speculation.
Maybe the Old Lord wasn’t here to find Ms. Clark but to watch her fold the thousand paper cranes!
And perhaps the reason why the Old Lord, who was usually so assertive and unyielding, had suddenly changed his mind yesterday was also because he saw Ms. Clark folding the paper cranes.
Could it be that the paper cranes held some special significance for the Old Lord?
If the paper cranes indeed meant something special to the Old Lord, then it could be a good opportunity for Ms. Clark!
He wanted to help her secure this chance.
“I am very clear about what you’re thinking. Don’t presume to take liberties on your own initiative!” Old Master Lawrence’s expression, though weary, revealed eyes that remained as sharp and penetrating as ever.
With just one glance, he saw through the Housekeeper’s thoughts. Clasping his dragon-headed cane expressionlessly, he descended the stairs while asking, “Where is Baron? Has he gone to the banquet?”
“The Young Master left on time this morning,” replied the Housekeeper, whose cunning had been seen through. He spoke respectfully and did not dare any further schemes.
The stern visage of Old Master Lawrence softened slightly, and his disapproving brows relaxed a bit, “At least he hasn’t let me down completely!” If Baron had really skipped such an important event for Enna, he would’ve had to firmly make up his mind to be harsh!
“…” The Housekeeper did not dare to respond, keeping his eyes downcast, hands clasped together, and followed closely at his side.
After a few steps, Old Master Lawrence suddenly stopped, coughing unevenly.
The Housekeeper quickly supported him, “Old Lord, are you alright?”
Following a fit of severe coughing, the weary old man leaned on his forehead, trying to suppress the sensation of suffocation in his chest, and said with a pale face, “It’s nothing.”
The Housekeeper, still concerned by his pallor, insisted, “You look rather unwell, perhaps you’ve caught a cold? Let me help you back to rest, and then I can call your personal doctor to check on you.”
Old Master Lawrence, also aware of his discomfort, did not resist, merely humming in assent. He allowed the Housekeeper to help him walk towards the living room…
