Even though he felt there wouldn't be a next time, hearing him openly say that he wanted to help another man pursue Enna Clark still left him a bit displeased.
Bobby wasn't afraid of him at all. Looking him in the eyes, he continued, "Uncle Westbrook is about as rich as you are, has about as much power, and is almost as good-looking as you. The most important thing is, Uncle Westbrook has a better temper than you, and he definitely won't start arguments with Enna Clark for no reason. He wouldn't make Enna sad."
He fired off a bunch of words in rapid succession, and surprisingly, someone with a usually bad temper didn't flare up. Instead, he calmly waited for Bobby to finish before asking, "So why didn't you help Lyle Westbrook this time?"
"Because—" Bobby almost blurted out but quickly caught himself and shut his mouth. He then put on a stern little face and reluctantly admitted, "Because Enna Clark likes you."
—Because Enna Clark likes you!
