“Dad, what did Mr. Baron mean by that?”

“Don’t worry about what Mr. Baron meant; in the short term, he won’t harm Natalie. What we need to look into is that rural couple from back then, and Uncle Xenon’s death.”
Waylon’s eyes were cold; there was none of theposure he had shown in front of Baron.
Flynn hesitated, as if he wanted to speak but held back.
“Dad, do you think Uncle Xenon really did something like that?”
“What I think doesn’t matter; the fact is, your sister was switched, and we were kept in the dark. All I want now is the truth. Can’t you see? Mr. Baron’s meaning is obvious—if the past isn’t exined, whether Natalie returns to the Stone family is still uncertain. On that point, Mr. Baron treats your sister quite well.”
As he spoke of Baron, a flicker of admiration passed through Waylon’s eyes.
Flynn said nothing, deeply shaken.
Waylon looked at his son and sighed. “I was too narrow–minded before. I wanted you to inherit the Stone family business without ever being stained by the world’s ugliness; I forgot how much darkness there really is out there. When your sisteres home, you’ll need to bear more responsibility. We’re men, and it’s our duty to protect the two women in our family.
“I understand, dad.”
Flynn nodded, and the two got into the car and left.
Baron waited until Waylon was gone before speaking in a low voice. “Change the investigation of that couple to be handled in secret; let the Stone family take the lead.”
“Yes, Mr. Baron.”
Someone answered and quickly withdrew.
Baron went to wash his hands, then returned to the bedroom.
Natalie was sleeping soundly.
Seeing the marks of their passion on her body, Baron couldn’t help but curve his lips.

He slipped off his robe, lifted the nket carefully, and slid under it; his arm immediately circled around Natalie.
She frowned slightly in protest and let out a small hum, but she was too exhausted to wake. Nestling into his arms to find afortable position, she quickly fell back into deep sleep.
Baron was thoroughly pleased with this instinctive reaction.
Holding her close, he too drifted into slumber.
It was a restful night.
When Natalie woke the next morning, the sight of a handsome face so close startled her for a
moment.
But opening her eyes to such an attractive view wasn’t a bad way to start the day; she felt ratherfortable.
Baron’s skin was wless–so wless Natalie almost felt jealous.
Suddenly she reached out and gently pinched his nose.
In the next instant, his hand on her waist shifted.
“Ah!”
Natalie gasped, just as Baron opened his eyes.
Thosezy eyes glinting with amusement left her flustered.
“It’s too early to be fooling around.” <fnae49> Content originallyes from </fnae49>
Natalie swatted his wandering hand away.
Baron looked a little disappointed, but he didn’t press further. <i>Plenty </i><i>of </i><i>time </i><i>to </i><i>tease </i>her <iter</i>.
“What do you want <i>to </i>eat? I’ll have them prepare it. And there’s something I need to tell you.”
Right in front of her, Baron lifted the nket without hesitation.
Natalie’s eyes went wide.
“Baron! You’re not wearing anything!”
“Why wear clothes to sleep with my wife? Besides, we’re legally married. It’s fine; I don’t mind

you looking.”

Faced with his shamelessness, Natalie rolled her eyes; though she had to admit, his body was impressive.
Scars aside, he had both looks and physique.
He didn’t stop her from looking either; instead, his lips curved slightly, a touch smug.
Natalie could hardly stand it.
As she watched him pull on his robe and start toward the door, there came a knock outside.
“Mr. Baron, are you awake?”
Baron paused, then looked back at Natalie.
“Freshen up first; I’ll
first; I’ll step out.”
“Okay.”
Natalie nodded.
After he left, she finally got up to wash, though her exhaustion weighed heavily on her. <i>That </i><i>beast</i><i>! </i>
Natalie cursed inwardly as she dragged her sore legs into the bathroom.
Outside, Baron shut the bedroom door and turned to the bodyguard waiting there, his face dark.
“This early, you’d better have something urgent, or you won’t like the consequences.”
Seeing his expression, the bodyguard hurried to report, “After Mr. Waylon and his son left yesterday, something happened.”
“What?”
Baron tensed immediately.
Whatever else, they were Natalie’s father and brother.
The bodyguard lowered his voice. “It seems they had a car ident. Fortunately, they’re fine. At the crucial moment, Mr. Waylon pulled his son out of the car; they only suffered minor scrapes.”
