“ Yes, call a doctor,” Flynn added, clearly enjoying the moment.
Natalie wanted nothing more than to sink into the floor.
Baron quickly intervened. “No need. Your mommy just needs some rest. If you’re bored, why don’t you take the kids out for a walk? It’s their first time in the countryside.”
“Really? Uncle, are there chickens and ducks here?”
“Uncle, I heard there are pigs in the countryside. Is that true?”
The twins lit up with curiosity, bombarding Flynn with questions.
Flynn glanced at Natalie’s flushed, embarrassed face, and his heart softened. “Alright, Uncle will take you out to explore.”
The house grew quiet once they left.
Baron carried Natalie into the bedroom.
She immediately scrambled down, glaring at him before retreating into the bathroom and locking the door.
Baron rubbed his nose sheepishly. Best not to provoke her now.
He turned to the kitchen instead. There were fresh vegetables stocked, so he set about preparing dinner for Natalie and the kids. She’d need the nourishment after the energy she’d spent.
By the time Natalie finally emerged, the house was empty of voices. Her embarrassment eased a little.
Catching sight of the marks scattered across her skin, she flushed. Yet beneath the shyness was an undeniable sweetness.
So this was possible even in a car.
Five years with Jensen had been like life in a convent–cold, empty, without desire. With Baron, she’d discovered a side of herself she never knew existed.
Natalie lay down on the bed and drifted into sleep.

When Baron finished cooking, Flynn and the children returned, chattering excitedly about their adventures.
“Daddy, you wouldn’t believe it! The pig farm wasn’t dirty at all, and they even played music!”
“Yeah! And all the chickens and ducks were kept together–it didn’t smell bad at all. Daddy, the countryside isn’t as gross as people say.”
The twins beamed, clutching two fish they had caught. Flynn, too, had his pants rolled up and carried a bucket of water.
No one would guess he was heir to the Stone Group.
Baron chuckled. “If this image of you spreads online, you’ll never get a girlfriend.”
“Nonsense! Farmers are the most honorable people. Without them, what would you eat? This is called staying grounded.”
He set the bucket down, then eyed the table full of food. Baron’s effort earned a flicker of respect.
“Has Natalie come out yet?”
“She’s probably resting. I’ll wake her. You all go wash up.”
Baron went upstairs.
Natalie had already stirred awake from the twins‘ noisy excitement. When she saw Baron enter, wearing a bright red apron, she burst into laughter.
Seeing the color back in her face, Baron relaxed. “Glad I could amuse you. Now, ready for dinner?”
“Alright.”
She slipped on her shoes and followed him out. Find the newest release on ~net
The kids were still bathing, the living room empty. Baron pulled her gently to the dining table.
Just then, noise erupted outside.
Natalie and Baron both froze, turning toward the door.
“Why is she here?” Natalie muttered–Baron echoed her thought exactly.

“I’ll take a look,” she said, rising
Baron trailed after her, unwilling to let her face anything alone.
At the doorway, they found Quincy and Jordan, blocked by the Stone family’s guante
“Please, let us in,” Quincy pleaded. “We raised Natalie. We’re her foster parents. We heart she came here and just want to see her. We mean no harm.”
Quincy held a bag of food, while Jordan carried a bottle of Natalie’s favorite childhood drinks
Natalie blinked in surprise.
She remembered vividly how, as a child, Quincy and Jordan never let her drink anything sweet. Once, when she bought a bottle herself, Quincy had scolded her harshly, and Jordan had forced her to write over a thousand words of reflection and memorize the health hazards of sugary drinks for days.
And now… they’d brought it as a gift?
