People often said his character was bad, and Baron had never cared, but Natalie's little laugh just now unsettled
him. What did she mean by that? Was she still angry over him taking her
five
years ago? What should he do? Say something, or keep quiet? He found himself caught in the dilemma.

Before he could decide, Natalie suddenly spoke. “Baron.”
He snapped out of his thoughts. “Huh?”
“Since you're close to Witch Doctor, do you know what he likes?”
Her question startled him. “Why are you asking that?”
“I want to design him a tie clip. He did save me, after all, and | want to repay that debt myself.” She spoke
calmly, but her words carried determination.
Baron brightened with joy. “Whatever | like, he likes. Just design it according to my taste.”

gave him a look and shook her head. “Where's the paper and pen | asked for? | already have an idea in my
mind.”
“Ill have someone bring them right away.” He answered quickly, then slipped his arms around her from behind.
Resting his chin lazily on her shoulder, he whispered, “Don’t forget, you still owea pair of cufflinks.”
“Aren't you wearing cufflinks already?” she asked, uncomfortable with his clinginess.
Her mind drifted to the five years she had spent with Jensen. Though their relationship had looked fine on the
surface, intimacy had been almost nonexistent. Even something as simple as kissing or holding hands had
always been her initiative. Jensen had never once taken the lead. Only now did she realize how blind she had
been. If he had truly loved her, how could he never have touched her? How could every small gesture of
intimacy be left for her to initiate? A trace of mockery crossed her eyes.
Suddenly, Baron nipped her earlobe. It hurt, tingling and numbing at once.
“What are you doing? Are you skind of dog?” she snapped, exasperated, trying to push him away but
failing.
His voice clow and rough, tinged with grievance. “Which man were you thinking about just now? Am | that
easy to forget?”

Natalie almost laughed in disbelief. “Do your men know you’re this jealous and petty?”
“I don’t care if they know or not. What matters is that you know. If you treatedbetter, would | need to be
jealous and petty?” His tone grew more wounded with each word.
His face loomed so close to hers that Natalie's heart softened against her will. “Alright, alright, I'll design
something for you. But this tmy this breaking the cocoon and becoming a butterfly. It doesn’t really fit a
man.”
“Who says it doesn’t? You're Sunny. As long as you want to, you can make it work.”
His words lifted her confidence instantly. “Fine, I'll give it a shot.”
She shrugged and added with mock disdain, “Now move your head away, will you? You're like sovergrown
husky.” The moment the words left her mouth, she froze. It really did feel like that. She looked at him again, and
his smile spread wide and dazzling, yet it carried an edge of danger.
“I don’t think my body's fully healed yet. I'm going back to rest.” She turned quickly to leave.
“Natalie! Are you asking for trouble? Who are you calling a dog?” Baron leapt up to chase her.
The courtyard rang with her laughter and playful cries for mercy.
Sean and Susie stood in the corridor watching, shaking their heads at the childish scene. “I seriously suspect my
high IQ cfrom a genetic mutation.”
“I think so too.”
Shauna, however, was laughing happily. It looked like Mr. Gunn's good days weren't far off.
“So, are you two still going to find Ms. Summers?” Shauna asked.
“Forget it. Didn't Mom say she hasn't rested enough yet?” Susie answered seriously, leaving Shauna speechless.
Sean rolled his eyes, tugged Susie along, and led her away.
Meanwhile, Flynn had just returned to the Stone family hwhen he found his mother Ruby suffering another
attack. Even so, she clutched a photograph tightly in her hand.
“Mom! Are you alright? Butler, get the car! We're going to the hospital!” Flynn held her tightly and rushed out.
Ruby's face was pale as paper, her body cold, yet when she saw Flynn she didn’t panic. Instead,

there was faint relief in her expression. “Flynn, don’t bother saving me. I've lived long enough. | want to go find
my daughter. Once | die, I'll see her again. It's been so many years... | don’t even know if she'll still recognize
me.”
Her words made Flynn's eyes burn. “Mom, don’t talk nonsense! We'll go to the hospital first. Ill call Dad right
now.”
“I miss my daughter so much...” Ruby's tears slid down her cheeks. Her breathing was already labored from her
clotting disorder, and every breath was a struggle.
Flynn was terrified she might really slip away. The entire ride, he urged the driver again and again to go faster.
