Looking at Natalie’sposure, Baron felt a sharp sting in his throat. <i>If </i>she hadn’t endured such highs and lows, how <i>could </i><i>she </i>remain <i>so </i><i>calm</i>, <i>so </i><i>steady</i><i>? </i>
His Natalie should have been living happily in this world–like a little princess, free to do the things she loved.
Anyone who dared harbor other intentions toward her–Baron would never let a single one of them go.
But not wanting her to worry, he simply nodded.
Just then, the squad leader finished his sketch.
The moment Baron’s eyesnded on the emblem, his face changed.
“What is it? Is there something wrong with that symbol?”
Natalie noticed the shift in his expression and quickly asked.
Baron’s teeth ground audibly.
“It’s the Gunn family.”
“The Gunn family?”
For a second, Natalie didn’t understand.
But the squad leader immediately did.
“Madam, Mr. Baron and the Gunns are mortal enemies. The fact that Mr. Baron has survived all these years is nothing short of a miracle. The Gunn family has tried everything under the sun to kill him.”
A wave of sorrow flickered across Natalie’s eyes.
She knew nothing of Baron’s past–never understood why he fought his battles alone.
She had always thought he was an orphan. But now, clearly, he wasn’t.
<i>The </i><i>Gunn </i><i>family</i><i>… </i><i>Baron</i><i>. </i><i>His </i><i>own </i><i>blood </i><i>wanted </i><i>him </i><i>dead</i><i>? </i>Her chest tightened painfully.
She reached for his hand; it was usually dry and warm, but now damp with sweat.

This <i>is </i><i>the </i><i>kind </i><i>of </i><i>mistress </i>we <i>need</i>.
He had just straightened when Baron’s voice drifted from the car.

“Get some money from Yvonne; make sure the brothers get proper treatment at the hospital. Lost wages, everything else–I’ll cover it.”
The car pulled away right after.
The squad leader’s eyes misted over. <i>Baron </i><i>was </i><i>still </i><i>the </i><i>same </i><i>man he’d </i>always <i>been</i>.
Natalie didn’tment on Baron’s decision.
But then, as if suddenly remembering, he turned to her.
“Natalie, I’m sorry. I didn’t ask you first before giving them money. But these men have been with me a long time–I can’t just ignore them when they’re hurt.”
“I don’t think you did anything wrong. Baron, you don’t need to exin things like this <i>to </i>me.”
But even before she finished, Baron shook his head and pulled out his bank cards and ount books, shoving them all into her hands at once.
“Natalie, ever since
you
up,
woke I’d nned to do this. I just held back, afraid <i>it </i>might <i>make </i>you feel pressured. But now that you truly want a life with me, I’m turning everything over to you–my assets, everything.”
“Baron, you don’t have to.”
Natalie was caught off guard.
She had spent five years with Jensen. He had bought her gifts now and then, but how much money he had, how much he earned every month–she had never known, because he never told her.
He hadn’t even given her a secondary card.
That man who imed to love her had never once allowed her a say in financial matters.

For once, she didn’t even know how tofort him.

Feeling her steady warmth, Baron turned to her, trying to smile, though the expression faltered.
“Natalie, I’m fine. I’ll make sure you get an answer about Johnson.”
“It doesn’t have to be right away. Let’s go home first. The kids were shaken by what happened at the amusement park–we don’t even know how they’re doing. Why don’t we check on them?”
She shifted the subject without hesitation.
The truth was, she didn’t care much about Johnson–whether he lived or died. Even about Sharon’s order to cripple her hand–whether others had been pulling strings behind the scenes or not–it hardly mattered to her.
All she knew was that Sharon had given that order, and Sharon would pay.
As for anyone else, she believed that once one weed was pulled, the whole nest woulde out eventually.
What mattered more now was Baron’s state of mind.
She didn’t know how <i>to </i>soothe him directly, but she knew the children were his softest spot.
Sure enough, he nodded when she mentioned them.
“All right. Let’s go home first. Susie’s timid–she’ll probably have nightmares tonight.”
“That’s fine, I’ll sleep with her. Sean was scared too; I’ll stay with them both.”
With a few words, she eased the chill that gripped his heart.
They turned and left.
The squad leader, watching Baron’s reaction, suddenly bowed deeply to Natalie.
Because of the Gunns, every time Mr. Baron lost control, it would take ages for him to recover. He had already braced himself for one of those outbursts. Yet Natalie had calmed him down with just a few words.
Not only calmed him–she had softened his mood.
