Baron looked a little embarrassed by the compliments.

He cleared his throat and said, “I just threw some money into it; Revolver’s the one really managing things. I’m pretty lazy, and with these bad teeth of mine, I’m better suited to living off someone else.”
Then he leaned against Natalie’s shoulder with a grin. “My wife’s new jewelry designs will make dinner taste even better for me. Isn’t that right, sweetheart?”
Natalie’s lips curved despite herself. Who didn’t like having their strengths noticed?
Not only did Baron praise her talent, but he even put himself down to lift her up. She knew he was being slick, but it still felt good.
Chris laughed as well.
“Exactly! The Stone family’s been rich for generations; our young lady also happens to have a gift for design. Baron, you just keep lying back and living the easy life. Don’t worry–I’ll make sure your meals are always delicious.”
Baron couldn’t hold back his laughter.
“Chris, you’re a sharp one. One of these days, I’ll spar with you.”
“That’d be great! I’ve heard your skills are impressive–I’ve been wanting to learn from you.”
Chris was almost giddy with excitement.
Getting trained by America’s godfather himself–he really owed it all to the young lady.
She was his lucky star; in fact, she was the entire Stone family’s lucky star.
“Young lady, even though this is the countryside, if you ever need anything, just say the word. I’ll make it happen!”
Seeing how quick–witted he was, Baron looked very satisfied.
Natalie felt like Baron was starting to rub off on her.

She gave him a playful glare and whispered, “Quiet! We’ll go home and have later. Even though that couple died and the clues from back then were cut off, the kids don’t get to come to the country often. Let’s just treat this as a little trip for them. These next few

days, help my brother get the Stone family’s security sorted out.”
“Yes, madam!”
Baron’s exaggerated response made Natalie laugh again.
The two of them soon returned to the villa.
Flynn had reheated the meal Baron had prepared.
Meanwhile, the kids had discovered new entertainment.

Behind the villa was a pond, and for some reason, a flock of ducks was swimming there. The children thought it was hilarious and immediately took off chasing after them.
The air was filled with quacking.
Natalie’s eyes softened with warmth and laughter at the sight.
Baron, on the other hand, looked like he couldn’t bear to watch.
“Seriously, what a couple of little troublemakers. Don’t they find that awful quacking annoying?”
“They’re kids. Of course, they’re curious about things they haven’t seen before. You’ve let them run wild on the island without ever thinking to get them a few ducks?”
Her comment sent a chill straight down Baron’s spine.
“Don’t even joke about that! With those two little terrors raising ducks? The poor servants would never survive it. I’ve figured it out–you’re totally biased when it comes to the kids. Sweetheart, let me tell you, neither Susie nor Sean is as innocent as they look.”
“Don’t talk nonsense! My kids are just fine.”
Natalie swatted him, then noticed Susie had tripped from running too fast.
“Susie!”
Her heart lurched as she rushed forward to scoop the girl up. But Susie didn’t even hear her call; she scrambled back to her feet, brushed off her knees, and tore after Sean again.
“Wait for me! We agreed the ducks are half mine. Tonight, let’s have Uncle cook one for us, okay? Look at that one up front–it looks nice and fat!”

Natalie froze in her tracks.

She stared at the two kids running ahead, speechless, then heard Baron’s laughter behind her.
“Come on, let them play. Worst case, he’s with them. You’ve been through enough today–let’s
go cat,”
Noticing Baron’s men shadowing the children, Natalie finally felt reassured enough to follow him back inside the villa.
The two of them enjoyed their meal, while Flynn, too uneasy to leave the kids alone, went out to chase after them.
Baron thought Natalie looked beautiful in every way.
With a mischievous smirk, he said, “Sweetheart, the scenery’s not bad out here. How about we sneak off for a little roll in the grass?”
Natalie nearly choked on her soup.
Her cheeks turned crimson as she gave him a sharp kick beneath the table.
“Shut up! Keep that up, and you can forget about sharing a bed with me for a month.”
Baron instantly deflated.
He was about to try coaxing a little more affection out of her when his phone suddenly rang.
One glance at the screen, and his expression darkened.
“What is it? Something happened?” Natalie asked, noticing his grim face.
Baron silenced the call and said quietly, “You finish eating. I need to step out and take care of something.”
