NovelEnglishChapter 194 Regret
Natalie's face flushed even redder. She scrambled to her feet, flustered.
“It’s nothing.”
She fumbled to explain, tucking back a stray lock of hair, guilty written all over her expression.
Baron couldn't help finding it amusing.
All he could do was take one deep breath after another.
“You all go on ahead. | just remembered | left something in the bedroom.”
He managed to keep his tone calm.
Natalie slipped past him with a quick grin. “Then I'll take the kids to the car and wait for you.”
She didn’t give him tto respond. Hand in hand with the children, she hurried off.
Yvonne chuckled, but she knew well enough to give the family their ttogether. She quickly disappeared into
her own room.
With Baron there, Natalie and the kids’ safety was assured.
Baron looked around at the suddenly empty living room. Just moments ago it had been lively, and now he stood
there alone, a little frustrated.
Resigned, he waited until his body calmed down before heading out.
When he got into the car, Natalie's face was still burning, and she didn’t dare meet his eyes.
Susie and Sean noticed the odd tension but didn’t dare ask.

The strange atmosphere lingered all the way until they reached the amusement park.
The children, thrilled like wild colts just released, ran straight toward the gates.
Watching their excitement, Natalie couldn’t help but smile.
Baron had already sent someone to buy the tickets.
“I thought you'd take them to the mall first,” Natalie said.

Baron shook his head.
“The mall's always there. But the amusement park’s something they've been longing for, and going together
with Mommy and Daddy makes it even better. So this comes first.”
Natalie saw the tenderness in his eyes as he looked at the children. Thinking of how he had raised them alone all
these years, she murmured, “It must've been hard on you.”
“If you think so, then you'd better treatwell later,” Baron teased.
He really was shameless, and Natalie could only fall silent.
“Daddy, Mommy, hurry up! Let's ride the carousel together!”
Susie waved eagerly.
Natalie broke into a bright smile and walked toward the children.
Baron turned to his men. “Make sure Madam and the young master and miss are kept safe.”
“Yes, sir.”
The guards melted into the crowd.
While Natalie and Baron were busy playing with the children, Jordan arrived at Quincy's hospital room.
Quincy was awake, though her eyes looked hollow.
“How are you feeling?”
Jordan's voice pulled her from her daze.
Seeing her husband, she asked, “Did Sharon really poison me?”
The medical report was already in her hands, but she still couldn't bring herself to believe it.
She was Sharon's mother.
For her daughter, she had committed countless mistakes over the years. Sharon was their only child; when they
were gone, everything would belong to her anyway.
Why couldn't she wait?
Jordan saw the pain and despair in Quincy's eyes, and his face darkened.

He sat at her side, speaking low. “I plan to send her abroad.”
That answer was confirmation enough.
Tears streamed down Quincy's cheeks.
“Why did she turn out this way? Have we ever let her go hungry? Or without clothes? We even mistreated
Natalie for her sake. What more wasn’t enough for her?”
Her heart twisted as she thought of Natalie, full of regret.
“Jordan, we really made a mistake. At least Natalie was raised by our side. Her character, her values, her filial
heart-there was nothing to fault. And we cast aside such a good daughter. For Sharon, this ungrateful child, we
drove away the one who truly loved us.”
Lately, Quincy couldn't stop thinking about Natalie.
That child hadn’t been talkative, but everything she did was full of gratitude toward her
parents.
And Sharon?
Ever since she was brought back at eighteen, she had done nothing but complain and resent them, as if the
Summers family owed her everything.
But wasn’t Natalie also a victim of circumstance?
Yet all these years, Natalie had never truly harmed them.
Comparison was frightening.
Especially when one’s very life was at stake.
Quincy's words made Jordan's expression grow even darker.
“What's the use of saying this now?”
The remark cut into Quincy's heart.
“You're right. It's too late. Natalie's already gone. But Jordan... today | saw a woman who looked
so much like her. For a moment, | thought Natalie had cback to life.”
